"Really? Anthony, you're so generous! Your father must be proud of you,"

Rafe exclaimed, his face lighting up with exaggerated excitement, as if genuinely moved by Anthony's promises.

But Anthony couldn't help but feel there was a trace of mockery hidden in his words.

He paused briefly, then continued trying to win Rafe over. "Of course it's true. As you said, I'm the fourth son of the Duke's estate. My word is as good as gold. You can rest assured that once I'm up there, lon't go back on my promises."

"That's right, just pull me up," Anthony confirmed, keeping his tone steady.

Anthony didn't say anything more.

like it could be swept away by the wind at any moment. Yet, he remained as steady as a rock, perched above Anthony's head. He stared at Anthony, who was clearly terrified but still clinging to his pride, trying to act dignified even with his life hanging by a thread.
