Arthur merely chuckled at Rowan's threat.
"You really are something, Prince. But you should know when to be arrogant, and when not to. I expected better from you."
Darius had halted for a moment, but his grandfather's words rekindled his confidence. Straightening his back, he strode toward Daliah.
Daliah staggered backward. Lilith stepped in front of her and began casting a spell, but before she could finish, earthen vines shot up from the ground, coiling tightly around her limbs and restraining her.
Seizing the opportunity, Darius grabbed Daliah by the back of her neck and yanked her closer, dragging her toward a nearby room.
But then...
A roar tore through the air. Raw, furious, and utterly unrestrained.
