Leonel refused to believe that Lucien, as a Rank 13 powerhouse, lacked that kind of ambition or possessiveness. In his eyes, his argument was flawless.
“Lucien, think carefully about what I said. If you need it, we can work together. I can help you.”
“Help me? Huh!” Lucien let out a soft laugh, low and pleasant, yet dripping with mockery.
“Marshal Rysid, do you really think everyone is like the pathetic fools in your household, clawing at each other just to please a huntress?” He looked at Leonel with open disdain.
“You’re wrong. Not everyone is lucky enough to meet someone like Emma. In your world, males fight to the death for favor because the huntresses you’ve known treat them like playthings–like disposable pieces on a board. But in Emma’s world, we don’t need to compete.” His voice wasn’t loud, but every word landed clearly.
“Emma is fair. She loves every one of us. She cares about how we feel and respects who we are. In our home, we are family–not tools to flaunt power.”
As he spoke her name, the coldness in Lucien’s gaze softened.
‘So put away your little tricks. I won’t turn against Calum for the marshal’s seat. On the contrary…”
He stepped forward slightly, his presence pressing down like a storm held just beneath the surface.
‘Calum is my family. He’s one of the most important people in Emma’s world. Anyone who dares scheme against him is going after ny family–and making Emma unhappy. And if that happens, I won’t mind wiping that person’s entire family off the face of this galaxy.”
The Maulions only had a single Rank 11. And with Lucien’s strength, this wasn’t a threat–it was a promise.
.eonel’s face turned pale, the sheer bluntness of the warning leaving him momentarily speechless.
Just then, a cold, iron–like voice echoed down the corridor, accompanied by the steady sound of military boots.
Understood, Marshal Rysid?”
eonel spun around.
Calum strode toward them in a sharply tailored dark uniform, his expression stern, his entire presence radiating malice
de stopped beside Lucien, his gaze cutting across Leonel like a blade, a mocking curve tugging at his lips. “My back will always be afe with my family. As for you, Marshal Kysid rather than worrying about my personal affairs, maybe you should heal with the ness your clan has at the border”
Leonel no longer looked like the authoritative elder he had been moments ago. Under the combined pressure of the two men, he elt like prey caught in the sights of two ancient predators, cold sweat soaking through bis back
He had assumed Lucien and Calum would be at odds, competing for Emma’s favor. He had never expected them to be this united,
Not daring to say another word, Leonel lowered his head and left quickly.

The cold edge on Lucien’s face vanished instantly. He shot Calum an annoyed look, crossing his arms. “So you dragged me over here in a hurry just to deal with those old farts for you?”
Calum lifted a hand and rubbed at his aching temples, the fatigue in his eyes impossible to hide. “I’ve had enough of them.” He let out a breath, looking at Lucien with quiet exasperation. “With the Chitinid activity, reports from the front are pouring in nonstop. Every minute of my time matters.”
He didn’t have the luxury to argue with them.
