With an appalled face, Kiara met the Commander's relenting gaze.
He was really serious!
Much to her horror, Nicklaus Elan took a step forward. Knowing how the sword would cut him deeper, she took a step back. When he took another step forward, she would take another step backwards, until...
Her back was pressed against the wall. She couldn't take a step back anymore!
Did he really lose his mind? Why did he still come forward?!
When Kiara saw blood wetting some part of his clothes, she instantly withdrew her hands from the hilt of the sword and it fell to the floor, producing a loud sound.
"Are you crazy? I don't want to hurt you!" she snapped at him. Before Commander Nicklaus could say anything, she ran out of the chamber.
Blankly staring at the sword on the floor, Nicklaus Elan pressed his palm against the wall. Then he slowly sat down on the floor and pressed his back against the wall.
