Julian smirked as he activated his invisibility cloak. A cold wave of mana enveloped him and made him invisible from the sight of the viscountess.
"Oh, is that so?" he said, his voice low and teasing. "Let's see how unwavering your love is when faced with true power."
The viscountess felt a chill run down her spine as she realized Julian had vanished without a trace. She panicked and looked around the room for his trace.
"Where are you?" she called out, her voice trembling slightly. Despite her bravado, the eerie silence and his sudden disappearance made her thought and heart race with fear.
However, she did not hear any reply. Julian had already left the hall and made his way silently through the corridors, completely hidden from everyone's sight.
He couldn't help but smirk at the audacity of the viscountess's words. In her world, love and loyalty reigned supreme, but he intended to shatter that illusion.
