Chapter 386: Threat (1)
"I don’t think my father has any plans for my grandparents unless they come here troubling my mother in search of Travis. They should be silent as they were when Travis did as he liked with my mother. We need to leave," Rafael said, continuing to hold Annalise to carry her to the horses.
"Was it hard to get Travis? Was he a good fighter?" Annalise asked, curious about just how dangerous Travis was.
"He’s nothing like I thought. My mother kept warning me about him, but now I have realised that her description of dangerous and mine are far different. If not for his money and family name to control the people around him, he’s pathetic. Didn’t look like he could defeat anyone in a sword fight," Rafael answered.
Rafael wondered if Travis had been fooled. His mother said Travis had the best tutors to train him, but with how easy it was for Travis to be taken, Rafael wondered if Travis’s tutors went easy on him to avoid dealing with his spoiled behaviour. Making it seem like he was a good fighter. It was the only thing Rafael could come up with for why Travis was a poor fighter.
For how confident Travis was when he spoke as if Rafael would do as he wanted Rafael expected so much more tonight.
"That’s a shame. I thought he would have at least been a good fighter since he was terrible at planning a kidnapping. After watching the knights train for many years, shouldn’t your mother have realised that her brother wasn’t as good as she thought?" Annalise asked.
"My mother rarely watched the knights. She only came around when we were training to tell us to take a break. Her memory of Travis is from when she was younger and breaking an engagement her family wanted. That’s where her fear comes from. If she decides to see him now, she might see that he is nothing but a coward," said Rafael, hoping that she did to help get rid of her fears.
"I don’t think your mother would want to see him. I don’t see her as someone who would like to get revenge. How long will it be before your father kills Travis?" Annalise inquired. She hoped they wouldn’t keep him alive for too long after they’d tortured him.
"That is up to my father. Travis’s life will feel like hell for a while before he is killed. Killing Travis would be letting him off easy. It seems like he didn’t treat the people here well because one betrayed him and tried to fight the gun out of his hands," Rafael said, looking on as he spotted some knights moving with a large box they planned to hold Travis in to take him to his new home.
