Ch 305: The Challange - Part 1

Emelia smiled lightly, her tone dipped in honey as she looked at Kyle. 

"Just don't forget I'm on your side now. It'd be a shame if your plans ended up harming me in the crossfire."

Nigel scoffed, the sound sharp. 

"You opportunistic bitch."

Kyle raised a hand, stopping him without even glancing. His eyes were still on Emelia. 

"I'll consider your proposal. But I won't accept it just yet." 

He said, voice calm and detached.

Emelia's gaze lingered on him, studying the unreadable look in his eyes before she sighed and gave a short nod. 

"Fair enough. I tried. I'll take my leave."

As her footsteps faded down the corridor, Nigel huffed. 

"You want me to deal with Christan now? We could end the problem before the banquet even begins."

Kyle shook his head.

"No. Let it go. I don't have much patience for idiots—and Christan's doing a fine job proving himself to be one."
