章節 70: Lucian Vs Jace

Liora's expression hardened as she addressed Lucian. "This is not the time for jokes, Lucian," she said sharply. "Do what you're here for."

Lucian's smirk faded, replaced by a look of respectful acknowledgment. "Yes, Mother," he replied, his voice carrying a mix of deference and seriousness. He turned his attention back to Jace, his gaze becoming more focused and intense.

Jace's eyes widened slightly at Lucian's words. The revelation that Lucian was Liora's son added a new layer of complexity to the challenge ahead. He couldn't afford to underestimate his opponent, especially now knowing their close connection.

Liora stepped back, her authoritative presence looming over the arena. "Begin," she commanded, her voice echoing through the training ground.

The air grew tense as Jace and Lucian faced each other, their eyes locked in a silent battle of wills. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation, the room holding its breath for the impending clash.
