"Your majesty, are you finally waging a war against the Alancaster family?" Her voice was too calm for a person who was bleeding with a sword on her back. "If that is the case, I will accept defeat." She held her dress and smiled, making him frown.
Damien was imprisoned so Eve was the head of the Alancaster family. Attacking her meant attacking the duke! He gritted his teeth and waved his hands, the man clad in black dress retreated at once as if they were not there at the first place.
"I have given my blood and sweat. I have even killed my father to get this land on my name, Duchess. I will not sit idle and watch how you destroy it. This is my last warning to you. If you are a mage, accept allegiance to me and I will forgive you for what happened or we are bound to be enemies." He warned her. She could feel intense pressure on her back but it was not hurting her like the maids who had already fallen on their knees and quivering. Their faces were covered with sweat.
