CeCe immediately grabbed Emily's wrist before they could leave the room completely.
Emily almost stumbled backward in confusion. "What now?"
CeCe stared at her thoughtfully for a long moment before narrowing her eyes. "You said you were from a royal family in your past life, right?"
Emily blinked. "Yeah?"
"How powerful was your family?"
Emily instantly lifted her chin proudly like someone waiting years for that exact question. "Very powerful."
CeCe folded her arms patiently.
Emily scoffed dramatically. "No seriously, my father was terrifying. Out of all the kings in our country, my dad ranked number one in military power."
CeCe nodded in understanding.
Emily became more excited immediately. "Like… people were genuinely afraid of him. Even ministers shook whenever he entered meetings. My father once destroyed another kingdom's trading route because someone insulted my mother."
CeCe gasped softly. "That's actually romantic."
