Dimitri’s gaze hardened, and his throat tightened. "That was a mistake," he muttered.
Kaelith rubbed his temple at the drama unfolding. A look of disdain crossed the Patriarch’s expression as his eyes settled on Scarlet. The Patriarch closed his eyes as if he were trying to digest everything.

"Are you really not my mother?" he asked, his head tilting to one side.
Agnes swallowed nervously. She knew that this day would come, but she had never expected it to come this soon.
"I’m not your birth mother, but I’m your mother. You have been with me since the day you were born. You grew up with your mother." She cupped his face.
Scarlet blinked at her.
"So don’t believe what anyone says about you, okay?" she muttered, her eyes welling with tears.
Scarlet nodded his head in obedience.
"Can’t I train and become strong like the Patriarch?"
Agnes’ eyes flickered to the Patriarch.
