"How can I trust you?" Nyzzara asked, sending a jab his way.
Rael raised a brow and dodged it before sweeping her feet and causing her to fall flat on her ass.
"When it comes to politics, I've heard people say I'm a pretty trustworthy man," Rael remarked with a chuckle as he extended his hand to help her up.
Yet instead of getting up, she grabbed the hand and pulled him down to the ground before putting him in a chokehold.
"Those rumors don't travel to Ogarak. The only thing I know is that you're the king of Celestara, and that Zafira Sutekh is the queen," Nyzzara stated, tightening her grip on his neck.
Rael sighed and suddenly brought his arms down and pinched both sides of her waist, making her ease up her grip.
The moment she did, Rael thrust his head backward, hitting her straight on the chin as he stood up right after.
Rael glanced down at her, and it looked like she wasn't done. In fact, she was standing up with a ferocious grin.
