A nerve twitched in Fenric's jaw the second he heard the taunt that his sister had passed at him. He remarked, "It's all because Killian wants to suppress me. He is worried that I will take control of the enforcers if I pass the exams; that's why he refuses to let me become an enforcer." Once he finished speaking, he didn't forget to snort heavily, as he really believed that Killian was only trying to make things difficult for him.
Nyx rolled her eyes upon hearing his response. It was because she knew that her brother was only looking for excuses. Killian was not the kind of person who would deliberately cause trouble for anyone.

She stepped out of the lodge.
