Jane stood frozen, fear gripping her chest as she took in the scene before her.
Alric stood with a knife in his hand, his expression cold and tense.
She stepped closer, placing herself directly in front of Eric, shielding him.
"Prince Alric, what are you doing?" she demanded, her voice filled with rising anger.
Alric didn't lower the knife. "Step away from him, Jane. I don't think your friend is who you think he is."
Before Jane could respond, the door burst open.
Cater rushed inside, his eyes scanning the room before landing on Jane, Alric, and Eric.
"What's going on?" Cater asked, stepping cautiously closer.
Jane turned to him furiously, hitting him hard in the chest.
