"Wait!" Victor exclaimed, drawing the attention of everyone present, especially the masked invaders.
The leader of the invaders, wearing his skull mask, slowly turned towards Victor. The expression hidden behind the mask was unfathomable, but the tension in the air made it clear that he didn't appreciate being interrupted.
"What did you say?" The leader's voice was icy, a thread of menace in every word.
Victor took a deep breath, struggling to stay calm. "I told you to wait. If you're here seeking justice, then killing this man won't solve anything. It will only make you equal to the oppressors you despise."
The intruder approaching the nobleman hesitated, looking at the leader as if waiting for orders. The room was silent, the guests holding their breath, waiting for the leader's answer.
"Do you want to take his place?" The leader asked, his voice laden with sarcasm. "Do you want to be the example of our justice?"
