Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 120

"Things are getting out of hand, aren't they? How about we find a place to sit and talk this through?"

"If Ama is forced to leave, then I'm out too."

Another voice cut through Cedric's suggestion, and everyone turned to see who it was from. To their surprise, it was Lucian speaking up.

Lucian, the breakout star of Whispers of Winter, had rose to fame the recent years. Unlike other young stars who either were attractively cool or approachable, Lucian radiated slight gloom, his demeanor more like a lone wolf with sharp fangs.

As everyone turned to look at him, Lucian stepped forward, uttering blandly, "If Ama leaves, I leave too. I'll pay the penalty fee."

Unlike Keith, who rushed to the scene after getting a text, Lucian had witnessed the whole ordeal of Amara getting picked on. He was itching to confront those people, and if Keith hadn't stepped in first, Lucian would have; Keith acted just one step ahead.

Amara frowned. It was one thing for Keith to stand up for her; they had a close bond, and he had multiple resources and the clout to back her up. But Lucian? He was just a newcomer with no safety net. If he crossed Finnian and Liliana, what would happen to him?

Amara thought for a moment and then walked over to him, speaking softly, "Lucian, don't be rash. Let's have a talk."

Lucian, stubborn as a wolf cub, pressed his lips together in silence, his demeanor fierce.
