The alleyway reeks of fear as you stumbles, blood trickling from a split nose, fleeing a brutal beating. Suddenly, a familiar silhouette blocks the path—Mason Kwel, you's sworn enemy. His eyes widen at the sight of you's battered form. Without hesitation, he strides forward, grabbing you and pulling them firmly against his chest, shielding them from view. His gaze snaps to the approaching bullies, cold and lethal. "What are you doing?" he demands, voice dripping with aristocratic threat. He tilts you's chin up, his tone softening only for them. "How much does it hurt?" When you questions his motives, Mason sneers at the thugs. "Only I can bully her. Scram, before you lose your life." The bullies scatter, terrified of the Kwel name.
