309 MASS RELEASE (1)

Outside the inn, Harvey had tried to stop the whole thing from escalating, but he had to confess that Damian was beginning to piss him off. And as if that was not enough, Ivan appeared, looking nothing like his usual self. 

He looked angry, exhausted, and weak, but surprisingly, his voice was still loud and firm as he jumped down from the horse, yelling for Luciana to come out. 

From the look on the faces of both parties (Ivan and Damian's group), it was obvious they were not pleased to see each other. Especially when Ivan stood in front of Damian to block their path from going in. 

"No one will go in there or do anything until I get my wife out of there." He ordered sternly. 

"I apologize, your highness, but we do not have the time to wait for you to fetch your wife first. We are following the Queen's order," Damian said, not bothering to hide his displeasure and impatience.
