"I have already announced that Irene will be my future Empress," Arawn spat, trying to keep his composure. Khione had to force herself not to roll her eyes. Arawn was so arrogant and proud that instead of realising the truth behind Khione's words, he just assumed she was challenging to be his mate.
She tried her hardest to stay respectful so she didn't roll her eyes, however, she could not hold back the scoff that escaped through her lips.
"I am not challenging Irene to be your bride," Khione told him as she turned to face him. While staring him straight in the eyes with a look of pure confidence she added, "I am challenging you to take the crown."
