Cordelia was getting old. Even though she put all her strength into slapping Dahlia, it didn’t match the force Dahlia used on Aldor a moment before.

Dahlia, who was in her fifties, felt really embarrassed about being slapped. It didn’t hurt too much, but she was still shocked by what happened.

Covering her face in disbelief, Dahlia uttered, “Cordelia?”
