Kapitel 245: Summer Games: Richard MacArthur

 Magnus blinked at his daughter-in-law in surprise. People had often commented on how he and Richard looked more like twins than brothers with years separating them. He never called him Richard; it was always Rick, regardless of who was around.

 It was common knowledge that the King of Alcon doted on his younger brother, and that their bond had been key to stripping their father of his power. When Rick betrayed Magnus it shocked everyone around them. No one had seen it coming.

 Not only did he try to kill Magnus, but he had also tried to kill Marco. Stabbing him with the Ethereal Spear had drained his magic, and all but severed his connection to the Source. It was the second and final time Magnus had ever seen his oldest son cry. The first being when his mother had passed away.
