The desert, Caldera Empire Castle, Kardia's bedroom. Golden armor glinted under the torchlight. Kardia walked in slowly with two greatswords strapped to her back. A red cloth fluttered at her waist, and firm muscles rippled beneath the upper body armor that exposed her abs.

She stopped in front of Guest, who was chained to the wall of her own bedroom. Crossing her arms, she scanned them from head to toe.

Hm.

The corners of her mouth twitched upward slightly before returning to a neutral expression.

So this is the Great General of Belferti? You look like a mess.

She reached out and snatched the cloth covering Guest's eyes. It was a rough movement, devoid of even a shred of consideration.

Open your eyes. Look closely at who is standing in front of you.

The short golden armor revealing her abs, the red cloth tied at her waist, and the belt came into view. Her red tattoos seemed to smolder in the torchlight.
