Chapter 2259

Kyrie said, “Luna, you shouldn’t get involved in today’s matter. I don’t want you getting dirty from this mess! He hit Brett so viciously. Even if I cripple him, when the Lloyd family comes asking questions, with my family background and my Major General rank, I can handle whatever comes!”

His words sounded very righteous, as if he were looking out for Luna’s interests. Not only that, but he was also showing off his masculine side in front of her.

To him, the so-called Dragon Prince was nothing more than a beaten dog who had crawled back in disgrace, and stepping on Andrew’s head today would be the perfect way to flaunt his power.

But to everyone’s surprise, especially Andrew’s, Luna’s response was sharp and unwavering. “Kyrie, you said it yourself that we are partners here, responsible for today’s duty at Martial Tower. That means every decision and every action must be handled together.

“Before anything else, we need to find out why Andrew acted, and even if he was at fault, we can’t just injure him. By procedure, we should report to General Turman first.”

Kyrie’s brows furrowed hard, his silence speaking volumes. He could not help but think that something felt off.

Luna sounded almost protective of Andrew. She was never the type to hesitate or hide behind procedure. Normally, she was decisive, ruthless even, more so than he. Yet here she was, softening the moment Andrew entered the picture.

The unease twisted into frustration, and Kyrie’s chest burned with jealousy. “Luna, you don’t need to say another word. If trouble comes of this, I’ll take it all on myself. You and I may hold the same rank, but I’m older, so let me make the call this time. Stay out of it.”

He delivered it as if seeking her agreement, but his tone left no room for refusal. It was clear he wanted her to step aside and let him finish this without interference.

However, Luna’s defiance only grew firmer. “I wasn’t joking. You are my senior, and I respect you and your family. However, injuring someone inside the Martial Tower is no small matter, and it must be investigated. Otherwise, I will not allow you to harm the Lloyd family Dragon Prince.”

The veins on Kyrie’s forehead bulged as his self-control snapped. “Luna… you…”

The jealousy scorched him like wildfire, eating at his composure. His teeth clenched, his eyes bloodshot as he spat out, “Tell me, Luna. What exactly is your relationship with Andrew? Why are you protecting him so fiercely? Is there some history between you two, something I don’t know about?”

His words cracked with anger, his calm completely shattered. In front of the woman he longed for, Kyrie could not stand the sight of her siding with another man. It felt like something precious, something he had set his heart on, was about to be ripped away.

That panic gave way to rage, and in that rage, all that was left was the urge to seize, to destroy, and to kill.
