Klaus faced Lauriel and Lord Aymon with his terrifying power. The aura of darkness emanating from him filled the room, shaking the two elves with fear.
"If you want to kill me, you'll need a bigger sword," Klaus scoffed.
Lord Aymon swallowed hard, realizing the formidable enemy before him. However, Lauriel responded quickly.
"Sheath your sword, Lord Aymon," Lauriel ordered.
"But, your grace—"
"Are you still sure you can defeat him now?" Laurel asked with a piercing gaze.
Reluctantly, Lord Aymon sheathed his sword, much to Klaus's mocking smile.
However, Lauriel suddenly made a surprising decision. She knelt before Klaus.
"I, Laurel O'Lier, the Ruler of the Radiant Forest and Guardian of the Tree of Life, beg for mercy to spare the elves and this village," she implored with her head bowed.
