Azara stood beside Jax. Same cold face. Same icy demeanor. Like she was looking at a bug on the ground.
"I never expected you to be foolish enough to go against a whole bunch of champions."
Her voice was flat. Disappointed.
"And where is all that arrogance? That confidence you always carry?" She glanced down at him. "Pathetic. Lying here useless."
Jax opened his mouth to fire back. But then he looked into her eyes.
Behind that coldness. Behind that harsh tone. There was something else.
Relief.
She was happy to find him alive here.
'Well, well. The ice princess has feelings after all.'
Azara continued. "You're just lucky we were already plotting against these champions. We happened to run into you at your worst." Her eyes scanned the battlefield. "We never intended to fight them directly. But your stupidity led us here."
She paused.
