Theron's demeanor was calm and unhurried. But Monet didn't seem prepared for battle at all.
Sure, her rapier was out, and her blade was twinkling with golden Mana, but other than that…
Her posture was off; her legs weren't in an explosive stance, her wrists weren't relaxed in a confident swordsman manner, but instead in a way that suggested Theron could easily knock her blade from her hands.
She was in the First Gold Resonance Realm, and her Resonance itself was very clearly in the Runebound Realm as well. But she didn't have the posture of someone experienced in life and death at all.
Theron could tell that this wasn't because she was so incompetent, but rather because she was waiting for what would inevitably come—the people who would be watching.
For someone who was so angry about her younger brother just moments ago, to be waiting for an audience before she served her justice…
It left Theron with a feeling of disgust in his gut.
