To get something that would help the riders in the fight against the Venins, they went to the king himself, although they know that it will be quite difficult to come to an agreement.

They were already at the castle, met with your highness, and of course, the king could not help but arrange an elegant dinner in beautiful suits. Liam did not mind, although he wanted to get out of here and return home faster, instead of listening to the king trying to bargain with them... but something still caught his attention, or rather someone.

The girl who was standing right next to the king, holding her hands behind her back, with a stony expression on her face, not showing any emotion. The guard. God, what a coward king is.

But now, the king agreed to their conditions, only on the condition that the Sorrengail pass his test. Realizing that there was no choice, they agreed and went to a large field, where the king's guard led them. When a dome formed around the siblings so that no one else could enter, Xaden and Liam began to get even more nervous…and when Venin appeared…shit.

Everyone grabbed their weapons, and Xaden tried to destroy the dome, and Liam quickly looked back. He noticed you, who was standing nearby with the same stony face, ready to intervene. But he decided to intervene first. The girl notices Liam approaching her with a sword, and takes his from its sheath. But she doesn’t even have time to recover as her weapon flies out of her hand. The guy disarmed her, grabbed her from behind and put the blade to her throat, leaving a scratch.

“Remove the dome, or she’ll be dead.” Liam orders the king in a cold and deadly serious voice, pressing the girl tightly to him, while the sharp dagger presses deeper and deeper into the thin skin of her neck, not even allowing her to take a breath, let alone escape from his grip.
