"There is an explanation to this, Clara!" Anna quickly interjected, trying to regain control of the escalating situation.
"You can hear the whole story from the grand duke later. But right now, she is coming with me!" Kiev declared.
His red-ruby eyes were full of determination. He reached for Anna's hand and pulled her towards him. But suddenly, a powerful force pulled her back, causing the princess's body to retaliate to Kyren.
"She's mine!" the grand duke exclaimed, his grip tightening on Anna's hand.
"No! She's mine!" Kiev retorted, refusing to let go and tugged her back.
The pulling continued as both princes fiercely asserted their claims over Anna. The princess yelped as the grips and forces from both sides intensified.
"Stop it, both of you! You're hurting her!" Clara shouted as she saw Anna struggling.
Callis, on the other hand, shook her head in dismay at both men's actions.
