"What?"
She frowned darkly, her gaze cutting between Nahir and Gourdon like a blade.
She surveyed the room with unveiled disgust, as though it reeked of shameless and irritating people. Admitting that a seventeen-year-old was far stronger than they were—seasoned fighters—was shameless beyond measure.
But the problem was…
She had been on a mission with the Noor clan before its heartbreaking devastation. And she had seen Nahir fight before; he was one of the very five people she considered truly strong. While she wanted to spit at their shamelessness, she also couldn't ignore what the young man had said.
"Nahir…"
He looked at her, his gaze ice-cold as their eyes met.
"I speak only the truth, Your Highness. There is no exaggeration in my words."
He pointed to Gourdon without looking.
