Leonel's gaze locked onto Nile who had begun to approach him with their group.
Nile's jaw clenched, his body tensing. It felt like a python was slowly constricting around his body. This sort of aura, he had only ever sensed it from Prince Noah. He didn't understand how such presence could also come from a young man who seemed to be at least a few years his junior.
However, Nile remained standing. Other than his slightly abnormal breathing, one would never think that anything was wrong with him.
"This is the official business of The Empire and His Highness, Prince Fawkes. This isn't something you should meddle in."
Leonel slowly turned to face Nile. "Is that the question I asked?"
Indifference. Disregard.
One could easily see by Leonel's wrist that much like Aina, he too was a citizen of The Empire. But, unlike Aina who had chosen to acquiesce to their demands for the sake of not splintering relations, Leonel simply did not care.
