A lady in her late fifties was descending from the stairs.

A lady with a noble aura around her. Her face felt filled with pride that reached the level of arrogance. She was dressed in a lavish outfit despite her age. While her face was stern. Her steps were calm and collected and there was not a single expression on her face of being angry or annoyed. Yet everyone trembled when they heard her voice. As if the god of death had come to take their lives, their faces turned ashen and their bodies froze on the spot.
