Ryan's face darkened at Lucien's response.
"Fine. If you must have her, then come and get her," he said.
Lucien slowly raised his sword.
"For the sake of you being my cousin, I will give you a quick death. The family already cast you out anyway, so I will be doing them a favor."
Ryan pushed Sophia away, and she stumbled and fell to the ground. He immediately drew out his own sword and faced Lucien.
"We are almost the same age, but I always have to listen to you. Why are you the head of the family and also the Beta of this kingdom? I'm better than you. I'm kind and good, and everyone treats you like a golden heir. And now even the woman I want chose you instead. Why do I always have to come second?" Ryan asked angrily.
He pointed his sword at Lucien.
Lucien smiled.
