"That is exactly why I said books alone does not make you wise."
He repeated his words, then he glanced at the Stonefangs standing at the distance and—
"You won't be able to 'fight back' if you're not prepared,"
He said, chuckling under his breath as he turned back to her.
"You should be more careful, Lady Lavinia."
He spoke, his voice now seeming deliberately cruel, and his gaze… it seemed like he was looking down on her.
"And don't think your Kael would be able to save you either.
He isn't here.
By the time he even knows what's happening, it'll already be too late."
He let out another small laugh, but this time, Lavinia laughed too—almost… dismissively.
"You're a fool if you believe that,"
She commented.
Kayden frowned at those words and Lavinia then raised her eyes, her violet eyes looking right into his grey ones.
"If they moved,"
She began softly, her voice echoing through the vale.
"Kael would be here within seconds.
And none of them would see tomorrow's sun."
