"One word and I'd slit your throat, Your Royal Highness. Don't even think about opening your mouth."
Fabian's warning took everyone off guard while Cassara ground her teeth, glaring daggers at him. They stared at each other for a moment before he raised his chin up.
"I'll gather my thoughts for tonight, my Lord." He tilted his head down and without waiting for Samael to respond, Fabian already turned around to leave. As he did, he gazed at Tilly, who was standing still in her spot.
"You better," Tilly whispered, staring at Cassara as he walked past her.
"I will."
Tilly glanced over her shoulder before setting her eyes back to Samael and everyone. She could understand their surprise since Fabian rarely threaten someone bluntly. He was the type to just do things in a roundabout way. So, witnessing him threaten Cassara obviously raised questions in everyone's head.
"What's wrong with him?" Rufus frowned, staring at Fabian's retreating back.
"He dislikes someone invading his privacy." Unlike everybody else, Samael didn't care much as he shrugged. "Thank you for your help, sister. I promise this is the last time I will ever bother you."
"The last time?!" Cassara mocked, shifting her glares at him. "Do you think even if you don't show up in front of me, that abomination won't bother me?! How are you certain he won't come to me, hah?! Just what will it take you to stop using other people to achieve your goal? Just what did I do to you that I deserved this?!"
"I'm sorry," he whispered, staring at Cassara's back. Rufus had served Samael for a very long time. Therefore, he knew Samael didn't mean to do the extreme. But just like what he said, people were scheming to take their life. If Samael hesitated even for a second, the consequences would be dire.
Between his family and others, Samael didn't mind becoming the devil himself if that was the only way to protect the people dear to him. It wasn't a noble act, but Rufus understood this because, at one point, he was also in the same situation, and he also had to make a choice.
His eyes veered in Silvia's direction. The two of them looked at each other for a moment. His jaw tightened before he forced himself to turn around. However, just as he did, he halted.
"Wait!" Silvia called, rushing in his direction. "Ru, what is going on here? Who are those people, and why did Cassara —"
"It's something that is not worthy of your concern, Your Royal Highness." He cut her off as he faced her squarely. "We would set off tomorrow or the next day, so I would take this opportunity to thank you for your help on behalf of His Grace. He might not have the time to express his appreciation with the matters at hand."
As usual, Rufus only spoke of those that were important as he tilted his head down. But he hadn't turned around when Silvia laughed in ridicule.
"It's not something that is worthy of my concern?" she scorned, looking at him in disbelief. "My brother is obviously not alright, and even though I didn't have a good relationship with Cassara, she's still my sister. You let people — outsiders inside the palace, and you are telling me this is not something that I shouldn't concern myself with?"
"Am I a joke to you, Ru?" she added, shaking her head mildly. "It doesn't mean I loved you and still love you, don't necessarily mean I had to put up with this. You always say things like this — things... you always think you can decide for me."
Silvia looked at him with utter dismay, shaking her head as she took a step back. "What a shame. Why did I even like you in the first place?" she wondered before turning around to leave. But after taking several steps away, she stopped.
"I also wonder, Via. What did you even see in me?"
