As Kyren's attention shifted towards the incoming voice, Kiev seized the opportunity to strike. He punched the grand duke's chest with a powerful blow, causing Kyren to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
In a swift motion, Kiev positioned his sword at the grand duke's neck, asserting his dominance over his fallen opponent. The sudden turn of events bewildered the knights, as they had never witnessed their lord succumb to an adversary before. This was an unprecedented situation.
Kiev then shouted, declaring his claim over the princess, "Hand over Princess Anna to me! She's mine!"
"Never!" yelled Kyren.
Witnessing the precarious situation, Eric warned, "Move your sword from His Highness! Otherwise, I won't guarantee the safety of your sister!"
