Alena raised an eyebrow at him, uncertain what he was asking.
"My king?"
"You heard me, commander. Do you think your Sentinels could take me down if I were to go all out?"
Alena had seen her soldiers hold their own against Leon. Even if the king was stronger than he let on, she doubted he was powerful enough to rival a mythical beast of Leon's calibre.
"Sir… I don't think it's a good idea… How would our soldiers feel if they were to take out their king? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose you had for asserting dominance over the court when you came back?"
Astaroth scoffed at her words.
"You seem pretty quick to discard me. Let me make things easier for you. I will go all out, and I want all your Sentinels, including yourself, to do the same. If you think you can take me out, this is your chance to try. Are you game?"
Alena was curious about Astaroth's true power level. But she felt like taking this bet was risky on so many levels.
