"And if you were wrong?" Lilith countered. "What if he could leave his throne and attack you."
"Then I would have smashed his face and sent him flying towards the wall," William replied like it wasn't a big deal.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lilith tilted her head in confusion. "What gave you the confidence that you can send a Dread Lord flying with a punch?"
