"Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You....!!!" Lady Mila stuttered uncontrollably at the scalding remark with her face being as red as a tomato. It was hard to tell whether it was due to anger or embarrassment.
As for the rest of the crowd, there were varying reactions.
The Maids who came along with Lady Mila almost died of heart attacks due to severe panic.
Assistant Manager Kevin almost lost control of his bowels.
The Attendant who brought in Selena had a hard time controlling his laughter. He was afraid to laugh out loud but he was also afraid that if he suppressed his laughter anymore, he would burst from the sheer pressure.
Ex-Guard Rhys's eyes were so wide, that they threatened to pop out.
The hidden guards in the surroundings almost fell out of their hiding places.
The Maids of Selena had different expressions. Maid Gwen had an excited look on her face while Maid Petra looked as if she wished she was never born so that she could have avoided this apocalyptic situation.
As for Soul...
"Wah ha ha ha ha ha....!!!" if Lady Mila could hear his laughter she would have died from embarrassment on the spot.
Unbeknownst to all of them, a hidden youth was also frozen in place after hearing Selena's response. This youth was a 24-year old man with a sturdy built. He was quietly reading a book under a tree when he heard the commotion. After Kevin fired Guard Rhys, he frowned and wanted to step up but before he could do that, Selena dropped the huge bomb freezing him in place.
It took everyone at least a minute to gather their thoughts.
"Y-Y-You...!! How dare you...?! Who do you think you are...?" Lady Mila was fuming with anger.
"Oh...? I am sorry, are you speaking to me?" Selena acted as if she just noticed Mila's presence.
"Who else but you?! How dare you insult me like that?" Lady Mila snapped at Selena while pointing a finger at Selena's face.
"Uh oh..." Both of Selena's maids instinctively backed off at the sight. They clearly knew that Lady Mila was going to be eaten alive due to her rudely pointing a finger at Selena.
Just as they expected, Selena's face suddenly became colder and the heat around her immediately dropped a few degrees. Mila trembled slightly at the sight. Sensing the danger, she immediately took down her finger and stepped back a little.
'Why... did it feel as if she would snap off my finger now?' Mila thought to herself with cold sweat breaking out of her back.
"Lady Mila..." Selena spoke while staring directly at Mila's soul...
"When did I insult you?"
"Y-Y-You... You said that Loyalty is only worth... what's inside my... yellow..." Mila tried rebuking back, but the sheer pressure released by Selena and the embarrassing words she said made her go quiet.
To that, Selena only tilted her head to the side, as if what Mila said was completely foreign to her.
"That's weird... I indeed made that comment, but I never said it was about you."
"Y-You...!! B-But you said, Ye-Yellow Dress..." Mila was shocked at Selena's shamelessness, but before she could finish, Selena continued on.
"I was talking about someone else. But that's okay, sometimes people can relate to each other. You must have felt a closeness to that shameless girl which is why you became angry for her. So, considering that, I will forgive you."
