Third

Leonel and Ramon's gazes met, the latter filled with rage and the former as cool as an iceberg. Internally, though, Leonel sighed. He couldn't say that he hadn't expected something like this to happen, but this also made the situation a hundred times more complicated to handle.

He hadn't wanted to harm Valorie so much, but there were two reasons he had no choice but to. The first was time, he didn't have the time to be soft hearted and battle it out with his fists. The second reason was because not going all out would only be an insult to her. While to outsiders it seemed that he was relying on the Spear Domain ring, he himself knew quite well that even if he took the ring off right this moment, it wouldn't change anything.

His Sovereignty had transcended the need for the Spear Domain Ring.

Now, however, he was faced with another choice once again. Would he go easy on Ramon?

Suddenly, Leonel's heart skipped a beat.
