"Your Highness, are feeling unwell, perhaps?"

"..."

"Your High—"

Bam.

The desk trembled under the weight of Leonus's hand, the sharp slam slicing through the silence like a blade.

His hand—large, veined, and rough with calluses from years of swordsmanship—remained pressed against the wood, the tendons flexing visibly beneath his pale skin. The sheer strength behind the gesture made it clear: this wasn't just frustration. It was restraint threatening to snap.

"Shut up." he said, his voice cold, low, and venomous. "You're being too loud."

Adler blinked once, then calmly bowed his head.

"My sincerest apologies, Your Highness." he said, voice steady and respectful.

'I was just… worried about him.'

Adler exhaled softly, his thoughts hidden behind a perfectly neutral expression.
