Burning Soul

“Duvrion!” Dimitri looked at him with a confused look,

“Father!

Tell him what we saw when we entered the Cathedral.” Duvrion, without looking at his father asked in an angry tone,

Dimitri had a hesitant look, “My child, this isn’t…”

“Tell him what we saw!” Duvrion wasn’t in the mood to listen to anyone, he was pumping in anger.

Looking at him Dimitri closed his eyes and replied in a calm tone, “All the guards were slain!”

“Who killed them?” Duvrion coldly continued,

“We don’t know that yet Duvrion!” Dimitri was again interrupted, “Who?”

He took a deep breath, “From the looks of it, some swordsman made his way in!”

.

.

“Are you suspecting him?” Aeneas had a scary expression,

“He’s not that fallen!” Duvrion took a pause and continued, “You had only one job!

I expected only one thing from you when I put you in the cathedral!”

Milot’s eyes were widened,

“I was assured that no harm would reach that girl as long as you were inside! I guess I expected from the wrong person!” Duvrion turned away after throwing a final gaze at him, “I gave him a chance as you said! I have no reason to not believe he’s incapable!” He spoke to Dimitri,

“Duvrion!

He came to my aid and that’s why…” Dimitri tried to speak him through but,

“Did you call him to help you?” Duvrion silenced him,

“I didn’t but I was in a pinch!”

“Could you not have handled it?” Duvrion furious as ever asked his father,

Dimitri looked at Milot’s sorry figure, he was frozen with guilt.

“I,

I certainly could have.” He replied in a low tone.

Although as a wizard his spells were useless under the barrier, he was still one of the most formidable people. For sure Dimitri could have been able to handle the situation.

“They drove the only hurdle in their path away and this brat made things easier for the enemy.

He can’t even think rationally and you are telling me he’s going to succeed me!

Succeed my arse, he can’t even decide for the good of people yet!” Duvrion was hot red due to anger,

“He’s a child Duvrion, even you were a child at some point!” Dimitri tried all he could to convince him,

“Child!

He’s no father! His arrogance and attitude led to this!” He turned to Milot and continued, “You still haven’t learned your lesson?

.

Didn’t this arrogance of yours kill her, your mother?”

“Duvrion!” The elder yelled at him

“How can you be a jerk? Are you trying to accuse your own child?” No one had seen Dimitri get angry before. He was furious at what Duvrion just said.

Duvrion didn’t stop there any longer and stormed out of the chamber while taking a pause to talk to Aeneas about his plan, “We leave tomorrow early morning, heal up by then!”

These unexpected turns of events silenced or rather shocked everyone, Milot was devastated, he was on the verge of breaking down.

Hiding his face, he ran out of the chamber, “Milot!” Dimitri was saddened by what he had heard, it was too harsh for that child

Everyone was taken by what had happened, no one expected a thing like that,

“Why is he so hard on that poor kid?” Catherine asked Dimitri in a bit angry tone “Ever since we are here he’s hard on him unlike that other one, who’s the most spoiled kid I’ve ever met!

At least Milot helped us, where is this other kid?” She was still angry

“Every person less is a pain, we ain’t talking about amateurs here!

She’s on par with Avatars!

Or even worse!” Aeneas had a stingy expression.

“Leave them for now. Right now we have more important tasks at hand!” Jura suggested
