The hate emanating from their eyes was palpable, searing and relentless. It wasn't mere anger—it was a visceral, unyielding loathing, the kind that carved itself into the soul and demanded vengeance.

It was unlike anything Leo or Ben had experienced before, as this seemed to be hate in the purest form.

The royal guards seemed to hate them for what the two did to their Emperor, however, they seemed to hate letting them walk free even more.

As Leo and Ben reached the palace gates, several guards shifted uneasily, their gazes locked on the duo's retreating forms.
