Chapter 137 - 126 (1/2)
I look up, and the glint on my eyes scares the remaining elves out of the room, plus the enormous shadow that cames to life and twists and turns behind me over the back wall, giving away the anger boiling inside that my face tries to keep hidden which only sharpens my façade, the remaining elf, the messenger from before, is the only one who has to take a direct order of mine to leave the room and to go on his way as well, having only me, Leonel and Aeglos behind.
Aeglos quickly reaches for the box and looks at the contents closely, reading the words multiple times, with his breathing speeding up at each turn, and as he grabs the letter and rips it in half and closes the box with a loud bang, he turns towards us and starts ranting:
”Who does this demon think he is! Outrageous! Repulsive! I'll make him pay for this! ” Seriously? Outrageous? Who swears like that?
”I think the words you are looking for are 'mother f.u.c.ker you son of a bitch I'm going to drag you straight to hell you piece of shit'.” I say, pulling a chair and sitting down, making both look at me with a strange expression on their faces.
”…What? Learn how to swear elves.”
”No, is not that, is just that…”
”Hm?”
”You are strangely calm now.” I lean back on the chair and put my feet on the table, no pointing in keeping this up now that we are alone.
”Am I? Well, perhaps because that blood doesn't belong to my brother.” Both look at me in shock, and the first to question is Aeglos.
”It isn't? How can you tell?”
”It doesn't smell like him.” I say, even if it actually does smell like him, they did a great job in masquerading his odor all over this piece of cloth, but one thing they do not know; and most do not for that matter; is the fact that I can see the energy, magic, around us with my third eye, and there are no traces of his energy in those clothes and blood, which would be impossible for blood is embedded with our essence.
Which leaves us with only one option; that is not his blood.
Even if I knew that from the start I put a little show for the elves to see and spread, of how 'angry' that made me feel, because someone managed to sneak in to put this package here, and that someone would probably stay to check the results of its work…
Aeglos doesn't believe me at first, but I insist without caving in and giving information that I wasn't willing to share with him, and after some talking him in we are left with a very important question…
Cain wanted me to believe that he had hurt my brother, bad, and even send me this to prove it and make it known, and that would only make me even more furious at him…
Why?
What does he gain in making me even angrier?
