Idir knew exactly what Odian and the others intended to do—and he had no intention of avoiding it.
Silently, he opened the door and followed them outside.
Before long, the sounds of fighting rang out near the residence.
In truth, it was less a fight and more a one-sided beating.
The mates had been harboring resentment for days; now that they had an outlet, they showed no mercy. It didn't take long before Idir was covered in injuries.
Off to the side, Ridan and the others watched like spectators.
"Tch… he's been so arrogant lately. Looks like he's finally getting what he deserves," Ridan clicked his tongue.
"He had it coming," Viann said angrily. "How dare he abduct Lady Nina? A beating is letting him off easy."
"Exactly. With a crime like that, he should be beaten to death," Pado added, equally indignant.
"Lady Nina is far too kind—she didn't even punish him. The mates should teach him a proper lesson in her place," Ridan snorted coldly.
"Agreed."
