Bab 147: Pinocchio acts! The Truth is Exposed!

"You almost killed him!" Badulf blamed Roy. "If we had stopped the fight even a moment later, he would be hanging like a limp corpse from your hand. How can you be so cruel to your brother?"

That night I almost drowned to death because he took advantage of my mental retardation and directed me into the cold pond by casting illusion magic on me, playing with my senses, and making me believe it was my bed. And today, he barged into my room and attempted to extort rune stones from me. When he realized he couldn't scare me into handing them over with words alone, he coerced me into a Duel of Honor by threatening to kill me and my people if I didn't engage him in a death duel. Would you consider such a person as your brother if you were in my shoes? Would you not kill them to avoid future trouble?"
