Felix turned to face Nala, who met his gaze with fierce determination. Just when everyone thought the conflict was over, Nala's intervention brought a deafening silence to the room.

Everyone knew Nala's significance-not just for her mysteriously powerful family background, but for her own commanding presence. Her willingness to challenge both Moonshadow and Dragon Alliances spoke volumes about her authority. Felix retorted, "I've been more than reasonable today. Yvonne is safe, and your deal with the Walsh family stands. Don't push your luck, Lady Nala!"

The crowd gasped. In all of Dragon public. Even Nala, known for her

Felix was the first to dare speak to Nala so brazenly in

osure, could not hide the icy anger in her glare.

Felix continued, "Yvonne remains yours. I only want to ensure you'll never treat her as a mere tool again. Is that so difficult? Answer me!"

Nala was about to respond, but Felix stepped closer. Even though he had lost his martial abilities, his presence was overwhelming.

He pressed on. "Be careful-a wrong answer will have terrible consequences. Do you believe me?"

Just then, the Shadow Twins raised their hands, their movements deliberate and menacing. Even Alfie, standing firmly by Nala's side, looked uneasy, suggesting that he could not stop the twins.

Nala had not expected Felix to take such a dominant stance. Her already bruised pride and dignity burned hotter as she recalled how Felix had spurned her alliance offers during the orphanage situation. Letting him walk away with Yvonne now would feel like conceding defeat-something her pride could not tolerate.

"Felix! Enjoy your power now. In a few hours, you won't have the right to speak to me this way!" Nala's voice rose as she addressed the crowd. "He was once a master healer who earned favors from both Alliances.

"Once these favors are used today, they'll have nothing to do with him. Did you really think he could command these powers?"

The guests murmured, her words sparking curiosity and doubt. If Nala was right and Felix's influence was merely temporary, then his current standing was fragile at best. A favor spent was a favor lost, and that reality painted his actions in a very different light. "Felix, tell me if I'm right," Nala challenged. " you're honest, I prom free to choose her own happiness."

Nala's intention was clear-she could not bear to see the man she had rejected living in such glory. If the wedding ended this way, Felix's reputation would soar throughout Dragonia by nightfall.

Though Nala would never admit it, she was beginning to feel regret-and perhaps even jealousy. Of course, her pride would not allow h knowledge those feelings, not even

to herself.

"You're right," Felix responded calmly, his expression calm. "They did owe me a favor, which is why they came to the Walsh family today.
