Kapitel 97: Proven

The man who slapped him was shocked because of how the man was looking at him. He was smiling and yet he looked like he would kill him there. He took a step back and was about to turn around and leave but he heard the man again.

"Are you going to run like a coward? How irresponsible of you to slap me and yet you still want to run? Do you think you can run away from me?" He took one step forward and another then he was in front of the man. "Coward."

After hearing the word 'coward', the man started to shake in anger. The wine he had drunk felt like it dissipated because of the hot feeling coming from him. His hands were balled into fists as he greeted his teeth and when Cygnus repeated the word, the man finally snapped.

"You are the coward! I don't believe that you are the duke's second son! That can't happen!" He accused. All the fear he felt a while ago was replaced by pure hatred towards the man.
