Conflict

Suddenly several guards who had been following the young man closely behind stepped forward to help him up while looking vigilantly towards Ki and the people with her. "Young master are you okay?"

As he was helped up he complained. "Of course not, I got hurt and nobody is even treating me as they should. Everyone is so rude. Especially her."

The guard checked his body but it only seemed like a light scrape on his leg and hand so he couldn't help but be relieved that it was not too serious otherwise their master might punish them for their negligence. "Young master, should we go back to the master and the rest of the family now?"

He turned to the guard and then back to Ki while looking at her figure but also her eyes behind her fan and the veil that covered her face and couldn't help but have some bad ideas. "She could have prevented my fall very easily and has been rude this entire time so I want you to capture her for me. Make sure she does not attract too much attention and bring her away quietly."

Perhaps it was her figure or the hidden beauty that was hidden away that attracted him or instead was her temperament or her cold voice which made him have the desire to conquer her but in that moment he had the desire to keep this woman in front of him for himself.

Many unyielding ladies were once resistant against his advances in the past but when his identity was exposed or there was wealth or power involved they would quickly become obedient, in his view this would be the same as any other time this kind of thing had happened.

Perhaps in his view, many young ladies would be flattered to enter his bed and serve him after finding out about his identity and perhaps Ki would be happy to hear a comment about how she had grown to be very beautiful from someone important to her but this was not one of those moments at all…

Instead she only felt disgusted towards the look he had in his eyes towards her as he lecherously evaluated her body and face but also stated his intentions to capture her right in front of her and those with her.

Ki looked at the play in front of her and her voice became increasingly ice cold and murderous. "Young master, this is Wolfden city, not your home where you can run wild. I would advise you to rethink before things turn bloody."

Leon also had a vicious look in his eyes and said. "You dare to covet my sister? Do you want your eyes removed!?"

Evie stepped forward to block anyone from getting closer to them and also to better protect Naara who was innocently eating a sugary sweet but was started by the sudden increase of her brothers voice. "It's okay. Just eat your sweets and everything will be over soon."

She felt that if anything were to happen out in the open then it would be best to distract Naara and keep her from seeing anything she shouldn't but also keep her safe from any unexpected attacks or accidents.

This was also a first time for Leon to behave so aggressively towards another person even after being told by Ki on how to handle certain situations.

Ki frowned and lifted her hand to signal those close by and with the other she placed her hand on her brothers shoulder and said in a soft voice. "Thank you but now is not the time or the place to cause a scene."

She looked up at the guards that looked like they were startled by her and Leon's warning and outburst then they had stepped back with a look of hesitation in their eyes. "If you dare to draw your swords within Wolfden City, you will be charged according to the laws of the city immediately. Do not think that your masters can protect you, no matter what dirty deeds they have done or asked you to do in the past, you may have gotten away with them until now… but here in this city, you will be dealt with and your supporters cannot save you."

One of them placed their hand on the sword at his waist and was ready to draw it but the other man read the atmosphere and surroundings a little better.

He clenched his teeth and then bowed. "I apologise for our rudeness, young lady I hope that we have not offended you. Young master, the master must be worried about your missing presence so you must leave right away without any delays."

The young man dusted off his dirty clothing and glared at her group then turned around while leaving behind his final words. "Do not let me find out who you are.. or else."

The guards face suddenly looked as if he had experienced a horrific event and then shouted. "Young master we must leave now!"

The young master scowled and then replied. "How dare you raise your voice to me.. a mere slave of the family dares! I will tell father when I get back."

The guard however did not seem to care about his threats but instead looked back at Ki's cold and murderous eyes with a look of apology.
