Chapter 220 - The Ark Of Sibling Anger (1/2)
”Zip it, White Rat!”
”Says the sewer rat!” shouted Minwoo, getting closer to Ashley.
Ashley stood up, causing Mavislin to grip tightly on his clothes. The Mages knew that this wasn't going to be their usual sibling squabbles.
”I'm only a sewer rat because of you!” roared Ashley.
”It wasn't because of me, it was because you were too weak! You fell into the wrong company by your choice, not mine!”
”Weak?! On what basis do you have to call me weak?! Especially when you were loved by the country, Silver Tongue!”
”I told you before! I had that silver spoon shoved down my throat, I did not take it myself! I didn't want it!” roared Minwoo as he slammed his fist onto the rock table.
”Didn't want it?! Don't give me such crap! And I don't care, you were still being loved by all! Leaving me to fend for myself in the dark!”
The two brothers' fight caused the Mages in the room to stay silent as the two brothers sort their anger out. With the only concern being Mavislin was still hanging onto Ashley's clothes, still trying her best not to cry.
”Where were you when the bullies came, huh?! Where the hell did you go when the mob came through the backyard?! Where were you when I needed you?! When I was all alone, you were doused with Mom and Dad's praise and love. And what did I get in return?! Kicked out!”
Minwoo stayed silent as he looked away.
”You can't even look me in the eye, because that's the truth! You are more loved than me!” yelled Ashley, at the top of his lungs.
”I didn't want to go. I didn't want to be a sewer rat. They tossed me out! You think I want to be thrown out! The fact that I'm still standing here makes me the stronger one because despite what hardsh.i.p.s I went through, I'm still here! And I did it all alone!”
”So why are you angry at me?!”
”Because you are supposed to be my elder brother!”
Ashley took another breath as he used his long arms to hug Mavislin into his chest.
