The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Just then, Catherine slowly raised her noble head. Her eyes revealed a deep disdain and arrogance, but this expression did not evoke any resentment; instead, it gave her an innate air of nobility and majesty. At that moment, Countess Frostbite, facing her, looked furious, her eyes blazing with fire as she stared intently at Catherine, her fierce gaze seeming as if she wanted to devour her alive.

However, Catherine remained remarkably calm in the face of the furious Countess Frostbite. She slightly raised her chin and spoke in an unparalleled tone of authority and sternness: “Madam, please calm down and allow me to formally introduce myself. Because I have not lived in Jade Continent for many years, although various legends about me circulate throughout the country, the people have almost never had the opportunity to see my true appearance.”

Catherine took a deep breath, calming her slightly rapid breathing, and then spoke again: "Hello! Please allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Catherine Nore Lancaster, Hilbert's younger sister. And here, I must solemnly remind you, sir, that just now you committed a serious crime—disrespect for the Royal Family! This is no laughing matter."

Upon hearing this, Countess Frostbite was initially stunned, as if frozen in place. But she quickly recovered, her expression becoming increasingly agitated, her voice rising several octaves: "What? You say you're Princess Catherine? Don't be ridiculous! Everyone knows our esteemed Princess Catherine has lived in China for many years, and she should still be there right now. How could she possibly appear here and return home like magic? This is simply unbelievable!"

Just then, a soft footstep sounded in the previously quiet drawing room. Everyone turned to look and saw the ever-composed butler, carrying several wooden sticks, enter with steady steps. He went straight to Catherine, his face as respectful as ever, and carefully handed her the sticks. Then, the butler bowed slightly and quietly withdrew.

After taking the ten wooden sticks, Catherine casually glanced at them, then a cryptic smile slowly spread across her lips. The smile seemed to conceal some deeper meaning, yet its exact nature remained elusive.

Immediately afterward, Catherine stood up without warning. With graceful and swift movements, she shoved all but one of the nine wooden sticks she was holding into the hands of the bodyguard who had been standing silently behind her. At the same time, she turned to the bodyguard and said in an unquestionable tone, "Please hold these for me, and make sure you hold them carefully! Keep these sticks here for now. If I break this one later, you must immediately hand me a new one, okay?" She emphasized the last few words, her gaze fixed intently on the bodyguard, as if awaiting an affirmative answer.

The bodyguard in the black suit, forced to pick up the wooden stick, shook his head helplessly, inwardly groaning. He had caught a glimpse of his master's almost indulgent treatment of Princess Catherine, and knew that the princess was bound to cause a huge commotion today.

Princess Catherine's lips curled into a satisfied smile as she gripped the wooden stick tightly and slowly walked towards Countess Frostbite. With each step, the oppressive aura and killing intent emanating from her grew stronger like a surging tide, seemingly capable of devouring everything around her.

This sudden change caused everyone present to gasp in shock, their eyes wide with astonishment. At this moment, Princess Catherine resembled a demon of death crawling out of the deepest hell, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down everyone's spines.

However, when Hilbert and Crown Prince Blaine witnessed this breathtaking scene and saw Catherine in such a state, their faces showed the same expression as everyone else. For a moment, time seemed to freeze, and everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Just seconds later, Crown Prince Blaine was the first to regain his composure, quickly adjusting his facial expression. After all, as the Crown Prince of a nation, he had been in the position for a long time, weathering many storms and witnessing countless bloody events during his years in power. He was already accustomed to all kinds of terrifying and horrifying scenes.

Nevertheless, seeing Catherine in such a chilling state again still stirred a ripple in Prince Blaine's heart. He had witnessed an even more terrifying side of Catherine long ago, but that was a long time ago. Time had passed, and seeing her like this again was inevitably a bit of a surprise. However, with the composure honed over the years, Prince Blaine quickly regained his composure, once again displaying the dignity and serenity befitting royalty.

However, Hilbert was completely stunned by the sight of his sister, a version he had never seen before. His eyes widened as he stared at her in disbelief, a surge of indescribable excitement welling up within him. Unlike the others around him who were equally startled, Hilbert quickly regained his composure and began to try to compose himself.

He knew that his sister had become like this entirely to avenge the bullying he had suffered. This thought filled Hilbert with emotion and warmth. To him, his sister's seemingly fierce and menacing face was not frightening at all, but rather revealed a unique kind of endearing charm.

The feeling was strange, as if the powerful aura emanating from his sister wasn't meant to harm others, but rather to protect him from any injustice. So Hilbert watched quietly, gazing at his sister with eyes full of tenderness and pride, hoping she would successfully bring those who had bullied them to justice.
