"Your Highness, please reconsider! Rafe is an important member of our knighthood. Handing over our healer to him is absolutely absurd!" Garin interjected urgently.
Kyren quickly reassured his third-in-command knight, "Don't worry. I have no intention of surrendering him."
With widened eyes, Kiev expressed his disbelief, "What? Are you suggesting that we simply ignore this situation?" he asked.
Maintaining his calm demeanour, the grand duke responded, "Listen, Prince Kiev. Above all, Rafe is not at fault here. It would be unfair to punish him for something that is beyond his knowledge. Instead of resorting to violence or taking someone's life, is there another option available to break this soulmate bond?"
