"You want to meet the Bellevars, and then what? You will force them to divulge the witch's location? You want them to betray their friend?" Killian said with a mocking tone. He turned to Gewen and Edgar and then back to Mars. "If that's how you value your friendship, then I feel very sorry for your friends here."
"You..!" Mars finally lost his cool when he heard Killian's words.
When he was about to draw his sword to attack Killian, Emmelyn couldn't take it anymore. She barged in and pushed Mars to the side.
"You've promised you won't hurt my brother!" she shouted.
Everyone was in shock when they saw what Emmelyn did. Mars stepped back as Emmelyn suddenly appeared among them.
The pregnant woman was panting and her face looked resolute. She held out her arms and stood before Killian as she repeated her words. "I will not let you hurt Killian!"
