For some reason, Raze could feel his heart begin to race the moment he heard the news.
A cold pulse surged through him as his thoughts drifted, unbidden, back to the past. Back to the time when the Grand Magus Council had united… not for peace, but for betrayal.
Together, they had taken down his wife, Sabrina.
And now, now they were planning something again. Another move. Another meeting. One that involved someone else close to him.
Safa.
Even if it wasn't a direct attack, the mere fact that she and Ibarin would be in the same room… it was enough to raise every alarm in his mind.
Wait… what could Ibarin even do? Raze thought, forcing himself to breathe. The event is still ongoing. Even if he tries to harm her, he can't eliminate her entirely. There are still more stages to come, important ones.
His thoughts raced ahead, calculating.
Realistically, this isn't about a genuine apology. Ibarin has something else in mind. He'll want something from her, specifically, her God Eyes.
