"That is called being brave. Of course, your mages who run away the instant things get difficult wouldn't understand it."

Cedric retorted.

He was usually calm and didn't get involved in mindless scuffles. However, he couldn't just let this woman continuously target his homeland and say nothing.

His pride would not allow it.
