At that moment five strong looking guards moved forward, their boots echoing ominously on the marble floor.
Upon seeing what was going on.
Annabelle and her family were frantic, their voices overlapping in desperation.
She knows what is coming, and she doesn't want Ethan to get involved although she has seen him fight before but this is different.
Without being told she knows the family wouldn't let him off the hook easily even though he defeated the men.
However if Ethan would be able to leave here, it would be now, although he has said more than enough but she doesn't want him to get into trouble just because of her own mistakes.
"Ethan, please!" Annabelle begged, clutching his arm. "Just kneel and apologize. Don't make this worse."
Immediately Her father stepped in, his tone sharp and urgent.
"Don't be a fool, Ethan. They'll kill you if you keep this up. Just say the words."
