Robin kept his arm around Shirley as they walked toward the waiting convoy, the world around them. fading to the periphery of their quiet bond.

Mario, his voice simmering with rage, jabbed a finger toward Robin’s retreating figure. “Simmond, cousin, kill him now!” His teeth ground together, fury painting his words with venom.

Simmond’s laugh was hollow, distant, as if the very sound repelled warmth. “Mario,” he said, voice cutting through the tension, “do you even know who he is?” He raised an cyebrow, his words sharpening with disdain.

“If he hasn’t killed you yet, count yourself lucky. That man-” Simmond’s voice dropped, low and menacing.

“He’s the one who wiped out the Athroods last night. Divine Drakebane himself.”

“If you want to drag the Hendelich family to ruin, go ahead and make your call. But you, Mario … You’re the kind of fool who’ll end up dead at your own hand.”

With those final words, Simmond turned sharply, striding toward Robin.

He caught up to him, his voice polite but commanding “Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Dunn, if you please.”

The three of them climbed into the general’s car, the atmosphere thick with an unshakable tension, as the world outside seemed to slip into silence.

Simmond leaned forward slightly, his voice respectful and composed, “Commander–in–Chief Ramsey, General Reynold mentioned that you and Ms. Dunn were aboard this flight. I’ve arranged a banquet at Landorne Hotel in your honor.”

He paused, a pleased glint in his eyes. “Before arriving, I sent my guards to bring Ms. Joanna and Ms. Eira from Landorne University. They’ll be joining us shortly

Robin turned his gaze to Simmond, his expression unreadable. For a long moment, their eyes locked, an invisible weight pressing down on the silence. Finally, Robin gave a subtle nod. “I appreciate your efforts, General Yates.”

Simmond, sensing the unease creeping along his spine, gave a nervous chuckle. “Mr. Ramsey, I am more than pleased to have you here in Mecria. There’s no need to mention effort or cost.”

A knowing smile tugged at the corner of Robin’s lips, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. “Is that so? Well, I’m glad to hear it.”

Simmond stiffened, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

For a fleeting moment, he feared Robin had uncovered his true motives, and the realization left him with a lingering unease.

Robin turned his attention back to Shirley, his voice softening as he spoke.

“Once we meet Joanna, I’ll tell her about our plans to marry.” His words were tender, filled with affection. “We’ll marry in Harmonfield, Draconia, this New Year.”
