Nicholas thought, 'What am I going to do now? Am I going to give up? No! I cannot simply let this go. I need to find a way to assert my dominance once again. He might have won this battle, but the war is far from over.'
Nicholas was a man who always got his way and didn't give up easily. Even with the setback, he maintained his confidence and believed that he could reverse the situation and reclaim his position of authority.
Keldor perceived it all, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he saw right through him.
"Nicholas doesn't strike me as someone with good intentions. On top of that, he has been causing problems for our Crown Prince for quite a while now. What do you think, should I take care of him? Evan might not be able to handle him on his own. It wouldn't be fair to pit them against each other," Keldor murmured to Eldrid.
