"She doesn't need to threaten you." Umbra said. "I'll handle you."
"Who…what…"
"I'm the Shadow King and you're bothering someone under my protection." His eyes glowed. "Leave now or know what happens to those who annoy me."
They immediately ran. Umbra watched them flee with amusement. Then he turned to Nyx.
"You're welcome."
"I didn't ask for help."
"You didn't need to ask. I was watching." He stepped closer. "This is what happens when you leave the palace's protection, Nyx."
"People have been trying to kill me since I arrived. I can manage that alone."
"Can you?" He gestured to the territoy. "Three businesses were burned. This all is happening because you made promises you can't keep."
"I can keep them."
"But I think you're failing already." He said in a gentle tone. "You think you can fix centuries of hatred in sixty days?"
"I can start."
