The tension crackled in the air like static electricity as Osphere's plea hung in the balance, her voice tinged with desperation. Hugo's response, however, was a storm of rage, his fury boiling over at the mere suggestion of deviation from tradition. "Any person who can excel in any one of the warrior skills and we are sure that the person can fight for us in a war, then we should give them the Ifrat Bracelet," he thundered, his voice a tempest of indignation. "This is the rule made by my parents, Adrian and Roiseen. How dare you question me on this?"

Osphere's retort cut through the tension like a dagger, her words a defiant challenge to Hugo's authority. "Wait, who do you think you are, my father?" she shot back, her voice laced with defiance. "To scold me when I just asked whether she can have the Ifrat Bracelet. You are not even related to me."
