Ciel's POV
As we drew closer, the fear etched on their faces was impossible to miss.
And there he was—Lucien—standing among the enemy, his wings stretched wide, a grim determination in his eyes. And the man who had broken into my study…, bandaged and barely keeping himself aloft. The memory of what he had done to Serena sent a blaze of fury through me.
"Attack!" I roared, my voice cutting through the chaos like a blade.
The air erupted into a storm of magic and fire. Arrows hissed past, flames roared, and spells collided midair, illuminating the darkness with bursts of unnatural light. My army surged forward with precision, wings slicing through the night as we descended upon the intruders.
The battle stretched across the skies and spilled to the ground, chaos swallowing the night. Every strike, every scream, every flash of magic was a reminder: nothing would stand between me and what I was determined to protect.
