Chapter 127: Jackal vs. Daniel (Part 1)

"Eugene," Daniel said, "he might be the shame of my family, but he has his uses. He's ours, our property. He will live and die chained up like a dog until we put him down. He is, and will always be, nothing but a toy for us to play with. You don't have the right to take him away. He just fooled you, crying about suicide and all that bull. He'll never do it. He doesn't have the balls."

"Daniel," Jackal said, his voice a calm in the middle of the storm of tense air. "You can insult me all you want, but for insulting one of my friends, I'll take your head." He raised his great sword in the air. "I will be the greatest knight in the kingdom." His words were to be directed at Daniel, but Alexander smirked. "Just like my father before me tried to become. I will succeed where he failed. I cannot lose."

"Begin!" Alexander announced.
