Chapter 156

The man's sinister air made Maxi shrink into herself. When he leaped to his feet and began walking over, Ulyseon tried to get between them. The man managed to evade the squire and grab Maxi's wrist, yanking her toward him.

"Hmm, she is rather appealing. But nowhere near your princess."

"Unhand her, Richard Breston!" Ulyseon barked.

He pointed his sword at the man, who did not even bat an eyelid.

"Look here, runt. No one has dared point their sword at me and survived. Should I take this as your death wish?"

"She is Sir Riftan's wife! If you do not unhand her this instant, it will be you who won't be spared!"

"Ha! What a show that would be," said Breston, his eyes flashing as he looked down at Maxi. "I've always wanted to see that southern mutt foam at the mouth!"

Having reached the end of his patience, Ulyseon charged. All at once, the men standing at the back drew their swords and blocked the young squire.
