"So, you're saying that you didn't do that to test whether the Dread Lord would go back on his word, right?" Lilith asked.
"Yes," William replied. "I was testing whether he would really attack me or not."
"But why? Why do something stupid?"
"It's because I could tell that he was injured."
William leaned on the couch as he looked at the ceiling. "Morax is undeniably injured, and I have a feeling that he can't leave that Dragonbone Throne even if he wanted to. The reason I provoked him was to test whether my hunch was true or not."
"And if you were wrong?" Lilith countered. "What if he could leave his throne and attack you."
"Then I would have smashed his face and sent him flying towards the wall," William replied like it wasn't a big deal.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lilith tilted her head in confusion. "What gave you the confidence that you can send a Dread Lord flying with a punch?"
