Silence fell over Quintana Manor as all eyes shifted to Jethro.
s
As the second-generation leader of the Quintanas and a high-ranking figure in Draconia, his quiet anger was enough to make everyone tremble.
In any prestigious family, if an incident like this disrupted a formal gathering, even the mostposed host wouldn''t remam calm.
And here. at Quintana Manor, a gathering ce for the Eight Great Royal Houses, Jethro''s reaction was
nevitable.
Everyone present held their breath, bracing for the storm.
Since Robin had disrupted the gathering and caused a scene, it was certain Jethro would demand an exnation. Seeing the tense a
atmosphere, Gavin stepped forward, beginning to exin. "General Quintana, this matter
But Robin cut him off with a cold snort. "Gavin, you''re in no position to speak here. Step back!"
His sharpmand left no room for negotiation, escting the situation.
Gavin''s attempt at a diplomatic solution, which could have defused tensions, was immediately shut down.
Even if Jethro was displeased. he would likely have respected Gavin''s influence and Robin''s position as an officer, allowing a peaceful resolution.
However, Robin''s blunt dismissal was a clear sign of disrespect to the Quintanas.
Zayn shook his head meaningfully.
Robin, Jethro isn''t someone to cross lightly. He''s a powerful military figure, a head of the second generation of the Eight Kings.
If you don''t show the Quintanas some respect, you''re setting yourself up for serious trouble. With your status and power, keeping this attitude will only lead to your downfall. The young heirs from the other residences looked at Robin with disbelief.
Was he simply young and arrogant, or did he trulyck any understanding of how things worked? Did he truly expect the Quintanas to yield on their ground today?
In any situation, it was wise to leave some room for future reconciliation. That was the most basic rule of dealing with others.
But Robin''s dismissive attitude seemed to be blocking his path, step by step. His arrogance confused everyone-it was beyond anything they''d ever seen. Ugally, arrogance meant picking on those weaker, but Robin was disying pride and defiance even against families with more influence and power.
After Robin''s harsh rebuke, Gavin was left speechless, and the atmosphere grew even tenser.

Jethro, however, didn''t immediately question Robin or react to Maverick''s handling of the situation.
Instead, his gaze fell on Wesley, whoy injured on the ground.
Several bodyguards from the Judds were tending to his wounds.
Noticing Jethro''s stare, Wesley quickly forced himself up, despite his pain, and crawled over. "General Quintana. I''m responsible for everything that happened today!" he eximed.
Jethro''s eyes narrowed, his expression dark. "Exin yourself," he demanded.
Wesley pointed to Joanna, who stood behind Robin. "I was just walking in the manor when she approached. me, starting a conversation and trying to seduce me. You know me, sir. I''m an upright person and never look for women on a whim. "Even if I sometimes make the kind of mistakes any man might, I only connect with those who share my interests among the employees in ourpany. What I''m saying is true. You can ask around-most of the female staff in ourpany are.... Wesley trailed off, realizing he''d revealed too much.
Uh. General Quintana, let''s not focus on that. What I want to emphasize is that this kind of woman is beneath me. How could I fall for her schemes?
"What''s even more outrageous is that a woman of such low status tried to seduce me, and when it didn''t work, she used me of harassing her!
Then, Robin attacked me without reason, violently severing my arm! General Quintana, this happened on your grounds. You must demand an exnation on my behalf!"
Joanna, listening to Wesley''s ount, was almost driven mad with frustration. She couldn''t believe such shamelessness existed.
She wanted to speak up and defend herself, but seeing Robin''s calm silence, she had no choice but to hold back the anger rising within her.
Jethro nced at Joanna, then turned back to Wesley, his voice cold. "Are you certain you want to stick with that version of events?"
Wesley hesitated. "General Quintana, I. I swear it''s the truth."
Jethro''s expression remained indifferent as he replied, "Let me remind you that any deception in your words will cost you your life. I''m giving you onest chance to speak honestly." Wesley trembled under Jethro''s icy stare, realizing he couldn''t back down now. If he admitted to harassing Joanna and causing this incident, Jethro wouldn''t let him leave alive. After causing such chaos at Quintana Manor, he had no other options.
Wesley made up his mind. "General Quintana, how could I lie to you? She was the one who tried to seduce

"Very well, Jethro said. "In that case, let''s pull up the surveince footage from the Quintana Manor and see for ourselves. If you''re lying, there will be no mercy" Thu, 5 Dec

Wesley stammered, scrambling for words. "Please spare me! I didn''t mean to deceive you!"
Those who lie to me are punished. Take him away!" Jethro ordered coldly. "You dared to do such disgraceful things on my grounds! How can I overlook this
Wesley finally realized how foolish and arrogant he had been, standing in a ce of honor and before respected elders.

Before he could plead for mercy, two guards seized him, tossed him into a transport cart, and drove him toward the mountains.
The crowd was stunned. Maverick, too, was left wondering what his father''s actions meant.
The other heirs from the seven major residences looked on, just as puzzled.
Was the head of the Quintanas truly preparing to deal with Robin
