Chapter Sixty-nine
Lord Roderick's icy gaze settled on Finn, the messenger, a chill creeping into the air as he spoke. "Who dares disturb my solitude, and with what audacious proposition?"

Lord Roderick's eyebrows arched upward in surprise, his interest piqued by the unexpected news. Amusement danced in his eyes as he regarded the messenger, a hint of curiosity mingling with his intrigue.
"A challenge? A duel? From Ethan?" he mused aloud, a sly smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "How bold of him to seek confrontation. The audacity of that man knows no bounds."
