Chapter 359: First impression (2)
"I see my sister failed to get a tutor to teach you manners. With your father’s lack of money in the past it is understandable, but the least they could have done was taught you themselves. I don’t like your attitude, Rafael. I don’t know what my sister said-"
"She doesn’t speak about you. Frankly, no one knows about you or cares to speak about you. It is only now you are here in town that I hear your name because you continue to bother my family. I’d prefer if you went back to the hole you crawled out of," said Rafael.
"See, normally I would punish my children for speaking to me as you did just now, but since I like you, I will let it slide the first time. It is normal for our first meeting to be sour. I wanted to meet you earlier than this, but your mother kept you away. Good to see my nephew is not living in some shack," Travis said, looking around the manor.
It could used some more decorations, but it was to Travis’s liking.
"You are a fool," Rafael concluded.
Travis chuckled. "I am far from a fool, Rafael. I’m a man who always gets what he wants. Well aside from the time your mother let a knight take her to bed and convinced her to run off with him. That was a big problem for me then, but now you are worth something to make up for what your mother ruined."
"You should watch what you say," Rafael said, taking a sword from one of his guards at the gates. "I won’t hesitate to kill you for my mother."
"That threat doesn’t work on me, Rafael. You should ask your mother to tell more stories about me. You should put that sword down while I am being nice. These days we have fun ways to kill someone other than using a sword," Travis said, placing his hands in his pockets as he walked to the right to see more of the manor. "Be a good boy and listen to your uncle."
Rafael knew that Travis had to be referring to a gun. He wouldn’t put it past Travis to be walking around with one to use though the law wasn’t signed away for it to be used. It had to be why he was so bold to come to the manor full of knights who would join in on killing him.
