Capítulo 2246: Emnity

"No, I'm not going to let you," Lucius declared, a smirk playing on his lips.

Emery's eyes narrowed. He knew that Lucius had been meddling behind the scenes. Urix had informed him that his request to transfer Shinta to his hall had been delayed, all because of Lucius. The man had gone out of his way to block Emery's efforts, using his authority as the head of half-blood representation in the academy.

Now, with Lucius standing before him, Emery felt his resolve harden. He was determined to take Shinta away, no matter what it took.

"You can't just do whatever you want... Even if she is your blood... in this academy... I own her," Lucius said, his voice dripping with condescension.

The words were meant to provoke, and they did. Emery could feel his blood boiling, the urge to fight rising within him. Although he knew there were other ways to resolve the situation, the sheer audacity of Lucius's claim ignited a fire in him that was difficult to ignore.
