Mirta's eyes blazed.
Julian's attack on Ralph wasn't just an assault. It threatened her negotiations with Dawnless.
How couldn't they understand what was going on? After all, they knew what they were saying when they agreed to go under dawnless. They were well aware that if Dawnless stormed them today, that was their end. Her current alliance with Dawnless was still hinged on trust, so Julian's words only irritated them all the more.
"Get out," she snarled, her mist aura flaring again. Mirta exhaled heavily as she faced Julian. "Get out. I don't want to see you again," she said, her voice cold. "Next time, I'll kill you."
Julian scoffed, his eyes flashing with malice. "I wonder if you can back that up. And I'll throw those words back at you." He pointed at Ralph, crumpled and bleeding on the floor. "Next time I see him, he's dead." With a final sneer, he stormed out, leaving his dazed guards to scramble after him.
