Kael, who had been standing nearby, noticed Cedric's gaze and immediately roared, "What are you looking here for?"
"This was just a game, not some real battle, you bas..." Before he could finish cursing, Raymond quickly closed Kael's lips with his hand and dragged him back.
"I apologise for his conduct. You see, he had some screw loose."
"No..I.."Kael protested but Raymond held him back firmly
Raymond maintained a polite expression as he apologised, but his hand remained firmly over Kael's mouth. Kael groaned and protested inwardly as he tried to push Raymond's hand away, but Raymond simply tightened his grip and refused to let him speak.
After the effects of the God of War's blessing wore off, Cedric could naturally see things more clearly. His breathing gradually settled, and he seemed to regain some of his usual composure. However, the anger in his eyes hadn't disappeared. He walked towards Raymond and stopped in front of him.
