Sophia's voice echoed through the stone chamber, firm and unwavering.
"I will not apologize for trying to save lives, nor will I make promises to surrender my autonomy to you!"
Her words were laden with defiance and a fierce determination that filled the air, challenging the very foundations of Ragnar's authority.
The silence that followed was palpable. Ragnar stood motionless, his expression transitioning from surprise to a stony resolve as he processed her declaration.
The tension between them thickened, each second stretching longer than the last.
His eyes, previously soft with a hint of indecision, now sharpened into a gaze that seemed to pierce through the dim light of the dungeon.
