She felt that image was somewhat close to Morgan, Qianyi's close female friend.
All along the way, Elysia had continuously pondered Caesar Klydella's image. Yet when she passed through the grand city gates and solemn corridors, and her gaze finally fell upon the throne, revealing Caesar's actual appearance...
All her fantasies shattered.
For seated upon the throne, the supreme ruler of Okhema revered as Caesar was not the imposing giant, ancient sage, or cold and majestic Empress she had imagined, but a cold Empress with flamboyant blue hair flowing like flames, wearing an exquisitely crafted imperial crown tilted atop her head, eerie blue fire flickering over it.
Judging from those traits alone, Krydrla perfectly matched Elysia's impression of Caesar and the Empress.
Mysterious, powerful, carrying an unquestionable air of authority.
However, when her gaze traveled lower, the cold Empress instantly shrank into a slender figure barely around five feet tall, even somewhat adorable...
A... girl?
"Visitor from beyond the heavens." Krydrla caught the fleeting shock on Elysia's face and said in a tone devoid of emotion, as though merely stating an objective fact, "The moment you saw me just now, did you think something like, 'What a shorty'?"
"How could I~?" The smile on Elysia's face did not fade. Instead, it blossomed even more brightly and beautifully. "Giving someone a nickname in your heart just because of her height is very rude to a girl, you know. Or does the great Caesar see me as such a frivolous and impolite person?"
"..." Krydrla fell silent for a moment.
Then something happened that caught everyone off guard. This Caesar, famed for her majesty, actually gave a slight nod and replied in a calm yet clear voice, "My apologies. I overthought it. Please forgive my foolishness. I apologize to all of you."
