Please, I'll Do Anything If You Save Her!
Rukelion could understand where her anger was coming from but all it did was fuel his further. "The Mireans started it! I never would have had a reason to attack if they hadn't destroyed my country first!"
"And I wouldn't have a reason to attack if you hadn't killed the one I love," the ice mage countered coldly. "Eliot meant everything to me so I'm going to take the one who means everything to you! I don't care what happens to me. My life was forfeit from the moment I lost him."
This stupid girl! He needed to get her away from Daisy but how? He couldn't attack directly and trying to heat the knife so she would drop it likely wouldn't make a difference considering what she was. She could cool things back down as quickly as he heated them up unless he used some serious firepower. That wasn't an option while his wife was being held hostage.
She really didn't look good. Her head lolled to the side and her breathing was too slow.
