* Sephora *
* The kid's mess was settled without worries even if Lerch was angry, TOB did not let him go any further. I then went to Ralph, who was standing back just keeping his ax close to him *.
-Ralph? You have nothing to say to me ?
-Your nephew has just lost an ear and it's a bum like me that interests you?
-Dagfinn will recover. And don't you dodge, I'm talking to you.
- Sorry I'm drunk so I hear nothing and nobody.
-If only Hatzel were here to see how you have become. A pathetic miserable being ...
-Don't tell me about him. * He said very angry *. I no longer want to hear his name even in song.
* He turned and broke some pottery with his foot before locking himself in his room. Visra approached me with her arms crossed *.
-He's like that every day, you know, he still can't digest what happened.
-If he doesn't get back in the saddle, the king will get angry and destroy your team. Your lands will be seized and you will be eject from conquest missions.
-I know what awaits those who disappoint the king. *She says*. And that doesn't scare me. * She smirked *.
-Well I would like to have your optimism. Say hello to Mathias for me.
* I walked back to where I had tied Dagur and saw Dagfinn staring at him angrily. The boy was holding the wound in his ear and was breathing heavily *.
- Come on, I'll tear the other one away from you * Said Dagur *.
- You dirty ... I'm going to slaughter you.
-Enough Dagfin there is no honor in beating a tied opponent.
-Aunt Sephora he tore off my ear.
-And he planted me twice, things that you had never done. So stay away from him.
* He hesitated a little bit and walked away with a vengeful heart. I crouched down next to him and pulled his ties back. The little man stared at me surprised. His first instinct was to run away from me and my word he was fast. That said, Ortega who was in the corner grabbed him then handed it back to me *.
- You misplaced something.
- By the way, you didn't tell us. * do Visra *. What does this boy represent to you?
-Yeah tell us.
* The others surrounded me curious while I had only a malicious smile on my lips *.
-Well this boy ... He's my son.
* I let you imagine the general surprise when I made this announcement. The news even spread around the island. That said I did not linger in this lost village and went to the royal palace of Adje in the capital. I told the king about the downturn in Ralph's team and promised him they would make up for it. After licking him for a good 2 hours I was finally able to go home. As I walked down the stairs a man joined me walking after me. He was also tanned and his black hair was frizzy but well shaven. He wore the uniform of elite warriors, a long blue coat with silver cufflinks over a black steel breastplate. He had the face of a school teacher and wore round glasses *.
-What do you want Vincent? I'm busy there.
-I have no doubt about it. After all ... you have a son.
-Oh that ? Are you all gonna ruin my life with it now?
-Of course. * He smiles *. After all this is the first of your children that you recognize oh "Kremis witch".
-Repeat that once more and I'll kill you. * I tell him threatening *.
* We reached the end of the stairs and he pushed me against the wall. He took off his glasses and I could see the dragon patterns inside *.
-Who's the father ?
-He is dead. * I say, stroking his cheek *. His life was worthless anyway.
-You claim he's a slave?
-Who know ? I had a lot of man in my life.
- You lie, why do you recognize this one rather than another?
-I don't have any other children Vince you know that. That said, you seem to be very concerned about the paternity of this child. If you want...
* I approached him and kissed him tenderly but the kiss was very short as he moved away and put his glasses back on *.
- Do what you want I would end up knowing who he is.
-Tch
* Vince is a good guy but a very intrusive person who likes to control everything. Using this gaze on someone allows you to probe his soul among other things but he never managed to identify me. And that's not likely to change. We almost had an affair together but unfortunately for him it never happened. Having said that, he is the one who knew me best in 40 years of life and he is an outstanding warrior. After our exchange I returned home to my apartment in the city center but I barely had to stop a dagger in flight *.
-Are you tired of trying?
-Witch ... * he yelled *. Liar. How dare you ?
-And what exactly did I dare? * I asked *.
- You ... You dare to say that I am your son. * He shouted *. Lies. Bullshit.
* I took off my cloak and jacket, threw it on my bed and sat down on the table, crossing my legs *.
-Because you believed what? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Why were you stronger ... faster than other boys your age? I'm sure you even managed to knock out an adult once.
* To see how he looked away I was right, the kid was indeed not aware of his strength or who he was *.
-I am right. It is however clear not. Yes my little one, you are indeed a Killick.
* My announcement gave him such a shock that he fell to his knees, trembling. Everything seemed to collide in the young man's head. He had palpitations and cold sweats *.
-If that can reassure you, you are not my real son. Your father was probably an average warrior who decided to rape the first woman who came.
-Enough.
-And he got off so much that he forgot to kill her.
-Shut up...
-I'm sure your mother educated you to hate Killicks, that's why you hate us.
* I got up and walked over to him *.
-She must have told you that your father was killed that day and that she will never forgive them. Avenge me when you grow up. She said
-Please shut up.
-Kill them all not leave a single one, that's probably what you were thinking, isn't it?
-Sorry ... I'm sorry I wanted .... No you're lying, you're trying to manipulate me ... I ... Aaaaaaah.
* It was chaos in his head. As he screamed I sat down next to him and hugged him very tightly. I could feel his heart pounding abnormally strong but eventually he calmed down and breathed normally as tears rolled down his face *.
-I ... I don't know anymore ... I don't know what to do anymore. Someone ... help me ...
- Come on, don't cry, my little doggie, mom is here. Focus on my voice.
* I started to hum a song to calm him down. Come to think of it, I hate idiots who don't respect the rules. Killick's seed is precious and yet a fool didn't finish the job. And it was thanks to his idiocy that I was able to have this child. However, he was just beautiful. Her mixed skin and her deep black hair, her piercing gaze. A gift from nature. And I was looking for him because unlike all the other Killicks and my so-called children this one had not undergone the seal of enslavement. I already said it but Each Killick must bring its new born to the oracle so that it undergoes the seal which will subject it forever the royal family of Adrun. We all wear this seal, including me. But my little Dagur here in my arms was exempt from all that and that made me proud *.
-My little bastard to me. * I say, stroking his hair *. We are going to do great things.
* End of chapter *.
