"Hey! Who are you, entering my estate without permission?" he said, puffing up like he owned the place.
His eyes narrowed at Tiana, who still hadn’t said a word. "What, you ugly or something? Hiding your face behind a fan?" Cyruz mocked, laughing with his friends. "You really suit each oth—"

"Urgh—!" Cyruz groaned, stunned, sprawled on his back with his hand twisted and pinned by Sylfia’s grip.
His friends froze, wide-eyed.
Sylfia didn’t say a word, standing tall with her hood falling slightly, her black silk mask covering half her face, her cold eyes glaring down as if daring any of them to move.
