Chapter 121: A game (2)
There was no response from the carriage other than one of the men surrounding it coming closer to the gate to speak with River.
River wasn’t interested in this person he did not know. Who he wanted to see was Travis. How could Travis come to their home, create all this noise, and not get out when he was outside? This was the same man who liked to speak about etiquette.
"If he thinks I will open my gates for him to finally step out and speak to me, he has another thing coming," said River.
Regardless of Beatrice fearing Travis would go to Rafael next, River was not going to open their gates and allow Travis to come inside and rile her up. They did not need to worry about Travis and Rafael meeting. Rafael was far from being a little boy who could not handle his uncle and once Beatrice was somewhere safe, River would join Rafael.
"The young lord wishes to meet his little sister. It has been so long since they have seen each other and it is due time that they have a reunion. You should not stand in the way of your wife seeing her brother, orphan."
The other men around the carriage started to laugh while River remained unaffected by the title he had heard many times. If they had come in his youth when having no parents bothered him, they might have gotten a reaction, but he was long past that. It was time they called him something else to try hurting his feelings.
After he killed Travis, he knew the second person he was going to kill. The idiot who thought the gate between them and his friends would be enough to stop him from being killed.
River had nothing more to say until Travis would show his face. He was starting to find it strange that Travis had not yet at least opened the door to speak. Travis was not the type to hide. He was hardly a coward even though he showed up with so many men around his carriage.
Travis would have gotten out of the carriage and taunted him about bringing a sword. Travis might have been a spoiled brat, but he received training to defend himself in any battle.
