"That was quite the greeting"
Taufik said, despite the smirk on his lips, everyone could sense it, a hidden storm beneath the surface.
Rani remained unmoved, her golden aura flickering like a barely contained wildfire.
"That's for making us wait when you said you'll never leave our side again"
Rani said, her voice was even, yet the raw emotion behind it was impossible to miss.
The weight of Rani's words hung in the air, heavier than the dust still settling from the impact.
Taufik's smirk faded. His blue eyes flickered, not with anger, but with something deeper, something raw. He had faced countless battles, endured the crushing silence of the Shadow World, faced with the Demon Legion, The Gods, and yet… This was different.
He hadn't expected to see that look in Rani's eyes.
Betrayal.
Pain.
She stood rigid, her fists trembling at her sides. Not from exhaustion, but from the sheer force of emotions barely held back.
"You promised"
