"My personal hell? Tobias! Why are you doing this to me?" Ariel asked while defensively pointing her palms at her cousin.
She was ready to strike when Tobias did. But, unlike what she had expected, Tobias wasn't attacking her anymore.
Tobias stood right where he was. He then said in a calm and composed voice, "This place would have been your personal hell if you were my real enemy. But… you're my cousin. And I don't want to harm you."
Ariel knitted her brows in confusion. "You don't want to harm me? You literally tried to kill me a second ago!"
Tobias looked devastated when he spoke in a somber voice, "I was pretending to try to kill you. I knew that you were more than capable of defending yourself when you managed to catch that dagger I threw at you and stab my father with it. So, I threw a little too many daggers later. And I was right. You easily defended yourself."
