No, fetch the royal physician immediately If her face was ruined again, she'd make Dylan regret it for the rest of his life. But Sophie hadn't anticipated that Dylan would take things even further.
The moment he saw the servants trying to leave, Dylan broke free from their grasp, spun around, and slammed the door shut with a resounding bang. Leaning his back against the courtyard door, Dylan snarled at the servants, "If anyone dares take another step forward, I'll kill her right here and now!" The maids and attendants in Sophie's courtyard froze, caught between fear and indecision.
Sophie screamed, "Dylan, what on earth are you trying to do?" "I want my money! Dylan roared back, his voice booming louder than hers.

You betrayed me, so don't expectto show you any mercy!" "Dylan, you're insane! You've completely lost it Successfully unlocked! / ignited by his threats. "All this madness over a bit of money? Is it really worth it?" Dylan sneered coldly. "Don't you dare question my sanity. If I've gone mad, it's because of you, a heartless, ungrateful wretch! Their eyes locked, hatred crackling like a storm between them.

No one would have thought that Sophie and Dylan's relationship would fall apart like this.
The servants around them trembled, too scared to intervene.
Suddenly, a sharp knock echoed from the door Dylan was leaning against. "Dylan! What's all this racket in your sister's courtyard? Open the door now!" Sophie's eyes lit up with hope. "Father! Help me! Dylan's lost it. He's trying to kill me!" she cried out Outside the door stood Gabriel.
Dylan's face darkened instantly. He braced himself against the door, refusing to speak or move.
The knocking turned into loud, forceful pounding.
"Dylan, open this door immediately! Gabriel's voice was heavy with authority.
Sophie seized the moment. "Father, Dylan's barricaded the door and threatened the servants not to open it! Please, cin and savebefore he goes crazy again!" "You!" Dylan tumed to glare at her, his fury barely contained. But before he could say anything, a sudden force slammed into the door behind him..
The door burst open with a deafening crash, sending Dylan stumbling backward.
Gabriel stepped inside, his sharp gaze locking onto Dylan, who scrambled to his feet, his stance defensive.

Dylan's eyes narrowed, and in one swift motion, he drew a dagger from his waist. "Let's see who dares!" he sparted Gabriel's gaze flicked to the Gabriel blade. He recognized it immediately. It was Matthew's, taken by Dylan during their fight in the thatched hut. A cold laugh escaped Gabriel as he glanced toward the shadows. "What are you waiting for?"
Just as the servants hesitated, several dark figures suddenly darted out from the shadows, aiming to grab Dylan Before they could act, a voice rang out from outside the courtyard." Stop! It was Benedict.
Dylan's face lit up with relief as he saw Benedict slowly step into the courtyard.
Without hesitation, he rushed over to Benedict. "Benedict! Are you alright? I heard from Matthew that you recently and almost didn't make it. What happened?" u were seriously ill
"Benedict! Are you alright? I heard from Matthew that you were seriously ill recently, almost didn't make it What happened?" Benedict coughed lightly, his voice weak as he grasped Dylan's outstretched hand. I'm fine. It was just a sudden illness. I've taken medicine and recovered now. Don't worry." Of course, Benedict didn't tell him the full truth.
Knowing Dylan's fiery temper, he'd definitely cause a scene if he found out, Benedict thought.
Not wanting to dwell on the topic, Benedict shifted the conversation back to Dylan. "What about you? Weren't you supposed to be back at Mount Westin? Why did you suddenly return today?" Hearing Benedict's question, Dylan's nose suddenly stung, and his voice carried an unexpected hint of grievance. "Benedict, they cto my place and stole my money." 0 Subscribed
