章節 100: A Heart to Heart

As Demetri made his way towards the small gathering of his brothers and his grandfather, Elijah Frost quickly excused himself without glancing at his wayward grandson and went on to chat animatedly with the many fawning guests.

Seb and Gabe exchanged glances as they observed their brother approaching. With a grimace, Seb muttered a quick wish of luck to Gabe before making a swift escape. Picking up two glasses of whisky from a passing waiter, Gabe handed one to Demetri before the two of them moved to a small anteroom at the back.

The low buzz from the celebration outside could be heard in the silent room as the two brothers stared at each other. While Demetri looked at his brother as he leaned against the wall casually, Gabe had nothing to say as well, looking away. 

"Congratulations," Demetri uttered the words that were right for the occasion but somehow sounded more like a question than a wish.
