[Ruvian's POV]
"They're finally here."
Ruvian spoke casually, as though their arrival was only a matter of course. Just as he had predicted, they had shown up only a few minutes past noon.
Having long prepared for this moment, Ruvian summoned [The Endseeker] before slowly walking toward them. Calyra likewise summoned her magic staff and followed beside him, the two advancing side by side.
Julian watched them approach, a subtle grin spreading across his face as his eyes gleamed with vindictive anticipation.
"I presume the two of you were already expecting us."
Julian spoke before casting Ruvian a contemptuous glare.
"Or perhaps this was your plan from the very beginning, ever since you dared insult me?" He looked at Calyra. "As expected of a commoner, hiding behind a woman when the consequences finally arrive."
Ruvian let out a mocking laugh.
"Couldn't say the same for you. Who's that beside you? Your new boyfriend?"
He smiled cunningly.
