Chapter 216: Stripped of the Blackthorn name (2)
Nathaniel wasn’t thrilled to see both Ragnar and Camilla had also been invited to see their father. He needed a private talk with his father about Xavier and other important family affairs without his useless siblings around.
"I told you, didn’t I? I told you if Nathaniel was here then he wouldn’t be happy to see us. You always liked to have father to yourself. So," Camilla looked to Orlork. "Should we leave?"
"Camilla," Ragnar shushed his sister. He didn’t want to go. He couldn’t leave Nathaniel to get in their father’s ear to spread lies.
"What? This is how it always has been with Nathaniel getting to whisper in their father’s ear. I am worried for you, Ragnar. The last time we gathered like this my fangs were broken but they have not grown back to be broken again. That means they will go after your fangs," said Camilla.
"Enough!" Orlork yelled. He hadn’t woken up to hear his children be at each other’s throats. "You can bother each other when you are not in my presence. I didn’t call you two here to punish you. There is a more serious matter at hand."
"Who woke you, father? Was it Nathaniel?" Ragnar asked.
"I know you two like to blame me for everything but it wasn’t my doing. I wasn’t the one he left to wake him," Nathaniel said, suspicious of his siblings. "I wouldn’t be surprised if it was one of you."
Camilla walked to a chair to take a seat. "Then you are a fool. Why would I wake the man who decided it was best to break his daughter’s fangs? It wasn’t me and it wasn’t Ragnar. I am willing to bet on that. So, father trusted someone else to do it. Where is the little servant who is always at your side?"
Nathaniel refused to believe his father gave so much power to the servant. "Wasn’t he to just be your butler? Why would he be the one to wake you without speaking to your children first?"
