“Oh, I know great deal about the Knight of Khlia,” Ilya pronounced the title like he was mocking it, drawing out the words and leaving space between them. Shane wanted to roll his eyes at him.
“It’s a meaningless title that people have given me against my will,” Shane said, still not facing Ilya but being keenly aware that the prince was closer to him than before.
He did not like being praised so highly without having earned it. Yes, he was a good fighter, and he had rarely lost a duel, but his skill had never been tested on the battlefield where it mattered most.“You are saying they are liars?” Ilya asked, more of that derisive tone coming through, with Shane growing all the more irritated the longer he spoke to the prince. If their difference in hierarchical standing hadn’t held him back, he probably would have given him his honest thoughts right then and there.
