Adelina's pov:
The roar I heard a few minutes ago did not belong to anyone other than Maximus. He was here! I just couldn't believe it! He really came for me this time! Several minutes ago I felt alone weak and helpless and I thought I was going to die and now Maximus came out of the blue to save me.
-"Put her down Nicolas!" Μaximus shouted from afar.
-"Oh your Highness what a pleasure to have you. Although I didn't expect you, be absolutely sure that I will serve you in the best way I can. A way worthy of a king! But please allow me first to take care of your beautiful mate" Nicolas said ironically.
-"This is between you and me. Let Adelina go" Maximus reasoned.
-"Or else what?" Nicolas asked arrogantly.
-"Don't mess with me Nicolas. You know what I am capable of" he threatened.
-"Oh I am so afraid right now....." he said ironically.
-"You should be" Max replied coldly.
-"Don't you forget something my King? What about the Council?"
