Keira frowned. As soon as Lena finished speaking, a few people behind her stepped forward. Keira’s mind kicked into overdrive, scrambling for a way to deal with Lena.
Going head-to-head was out of the question. She didn’t have a single weapon on her, and she’d never take down the South family’s people on her own. Not to mention, if she so much as raised a hand, the soldiers stationed nearby would probably swarm her in a heartbeat.
But what, she was just supposed to let them toss her into the ocean?
No way.
She looked straight at Scarlet.
Sure enough, Scarlet stepped forward and blocked Lena’s path. "You’re not doing this."
Lena let out a cold laugh. "And who are you to stop me? Since when did you get a say in what I decide?"
"She’s my friend," Scarlet said firmly. "We’re of the same rank. Why can’t I have a say?"
"Same rank?" Lena sneered. "You really believe that? The whole ’second-tier branch’ label might be the official line, but you seriously think you measure up?"
Scarlet’s expression darkened. "Whether I do or not isn’t for you to decide. I still hold the title, and it counts. If you’re so determined to kick her out, go talk to your aunt and have the family head bring it up with my dad."
Lena’s eyes turned cold. "No need to bother my aunt over something so minor."
Scarlet snorted. "Oh, is that what it is? You’re not ’bothering’ her, or are you just scared? The family head has always been fair—never played favorites. You don’t dare take this to her, do you?"
Lena clenched her fists. "Don’t flatter yourself. She’s my aunt—do you really think she’d side with you if it came down to it? But fine. I’m not wasting my time on this."
She turned her glare to Keira. "I’ll let you go today. But don’t get too comfortable. Scarlet, you’d better keep your little friend glued to your side, or next time? She’s gone."
With that, Lena turned and strutted off like she owned the place.
Scarlet immediately let out a breath of relief.
Keira looked at her and couldn’t help but ask, "Didn’t you just say your family head plays fair? What are you so afraid of?"
