The Lords against DJ

Restless and humiliated, Leo Doukas paced around Yael's office in the early hours of the day. He licked at his scuffed lips every other second, rolling his hands into fists to compose his agitation, while his mind tortured him by playing the scenarios from breakfast at home. The young lord came upset after a long lecture and unjustified scolding awarded by Lord Ezekiel early in the morning; he was mad more than confused to get what he didn't deserve after he had been putting in efforts to complete the duties assigned by Lord Yael.

But most of all, what stung Leo was the silence of his father, a silence that warranted Nova would never stand against his brother. Lord Nova hadn't retorted in his son's defence when Ezekiel shouted at Leo, and that silent ignorance went straight to Leo's heart, making him angry at his father.

That wasn't Nova was supposed to do.

Leo wanted to rant it all out to his brother at the office, he marched up straight to Yael's room without any word, only to get that the lord was in an important meeting with foreign investors. Another blow of irritation bubbled inside Leo while he waited for twenty more minutes alone in the office, stomach growling for food and mind racing with weird thoughts. All of the frustration had Leo enough exasperated that he could put a bullet through someone's head if need be.

Thankfully, the door of the office room finally rattled before the temperature of Leo's patience exceeded limits.

Yael entered first, dictating something lowly to his right hand, while Nyxara followed behind, nodding her head. They both stopped as soon as Leo's presence came into notice, Nyxara closed the door behind them and Yael walked ahead....observing a dark look on younger's face and his tensed frame ready to show his dismay.

"What's wrong?" Yael asked, closing the distance between the two and peering into Leo's murderous gaze, "Is everything alright?" he coaxed more, already sensing a storm, as he placed his heavy hand over the other's shoulder.

"Nothing is alright, Lord..." Leo started with a huff, and Yael noticed the change of tone "Uncle Ezekiel was furious with me today at breakfast; he was crazy mad at me for dealing with Horace the way we did. He reprimanded me for dishonouring him in his circle and for taking decisions that are not meant for me when I was following your orders," the young lord explained, nose flaring with rage as he said while recalled the look on Ezekiel's face when he said all that.

The glowering eyes and flared nose of the former lord weren't a good sight.

Meanwhile, Yael listened carefully and made mental notes for the next course of action. Slowly, he pulled back from his brother and walked to his desk before leaning on it stylishly, then he fished out a cigarette from his case and ignited it thoughtfully.

"Is it about the consignments on the sea?" he asked, directing his glance towards Nyxara. A silent dialogue passed between them, a long talk they had in the past days, and the right hand nodded her head in affirmation.

Then Leo began beside her again.

"Yes. The drama, he and his people started in the first place, has somehow reached uncle and he is not happy" Leo added, running a hand through his hair and Yael blew out smoke through his nose "Even after I told him....or maybe tried to tell him....about what's happening, he cut me off and forbade me from joining anything related to docks in the future." The younger scowled madly, anger for being called off unreasonably returned as he averted his gaze from Yael to elsewhere. Leo had observed something change in Yael right after he explained the commanding tone and the actual command from Ezekiel, the lord looked lost in thought for a second before he returned, and his features darkened.
