Despitetherebeingtwomoreroundsoftrials,theNightmareSovereignsunanimouslyagreedthatFlora’sadvantagewasnearlyunshakeable.

Withhernaturallyperfectionisticpersonality,overcomingheratthisadvantageousscorewasanimpossibletask.

EvenapowerfulyounggodlikeCyberElfAlpha,whohasthepotentialtocreateworlds,knewdeepdownthathewouldlosetothecaptivatingFlora.

Atthatmoment,Flora,whohadwonbothloveandvictory,feltproud.

TheonlythingthatpuzzledherwaswhytheKaraCurse,whichcostheratenthofherfortunetoactivate,hadbackfiredonher.

Fortunately,shehadalwaysadmiredherpredecessors,soeventhoughshewascursed,itdidn’tbotherhermuch.Herheartjustfeltevenmorepassionate.
