German was thorn after what he just heard.
But there was no turning back now.
He had to do what he had to do.
Even if it means he has to kill Albert...
----- TIME SKIP -----
Early morning both Albert and German was ready to go against each other while Franz and Maximilien were also there, trying to stop them.
But none of them knew what was really going on in their minds.
- So you came, huh? - said German - And before you'd start feel free to call me on my real name. As you probably already know that.
- Yes, I know... German - Albert groaned - But...
- Hm?
Albert took his gun out and dropped it to the ground.
- I found out... Everything that was said was true... And in this case I have no reason for a fight, but for an apology - he said then he bowed his head deeply in front of German - I'm sorry... I hope you can forgive me...
German stood in silent for some seconds before he smiled a bit and nodded.
- I forgive you - he then said.
Albert let out a deep sigh of relief when he heard the answer as he was sure the count... Well, German... Wants to kill him for good.
But he didn't.
And he was grateful for that as he also had more serious problems than this.
----- TIME SKIP ------
German headed back home after his fight was cancelled which he was really happy about.
But Violetta was even happier...
- German!! - she screamed happily as she jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly.
- I'm here, princess - he smiled as he hugged her back.
- What happened? Did anybody get hurt?!
- No... Luckily nobody got hurt.
- That's good!
- Yes... But this is not the end yet.
----- TIME SKIP -----
Fernand was going completely crazy now.
He knew the truth.
That the count is actually German.
He was about to go and get him when his son, Albert got home so he decided to ask him what happened at the fight.
He was hoping German got killed, or something.
- What happened, son? - he asked.
- Nothing - he replied shortly then added - But I'm moving out.
- What?!
- I can't stay in the same house with you anymore.
And with that Albert walked away.
Fernand was shocked and angrier than every.
He didn't only lose his wife and her trust, but now his son was against him as well.
"I'm done! This time I'll make sure he's fucking dead!" - he thought as he grabbed his gun and stormed out on the door, heading to German's house to finish him off....
----- TIME SKIP -----
Arriving to the house he was surprised to find the door open, but he didn't care too much about it and just went in...
Big mistake.
As soon as he stepped into the house he felt a strong hand grabbing his throat and as he was pushed against the nearby wall he saw who did it...
- Nice to see you again, German... - he hissed.
- I was hoping you're going to come to see me after hearing the truth - German replied with an unusual evil smile on his face that Fernand has never seen before.
And it made him slightly scared.
But of course he didn't show it.
- Why did you even come back? - Fernand asked while he could still breath as German wasn't holding his throat too tight.
He wanted to talk to him before finishing with him.
- You ruined my life, Fernand... Did you really think you can get away with it that easily?
- What do you even know about ruined life anyway?! You had everything!
- And you got me arrested to get all of that! Even though I didn't have anything...
- Just Angie!! - he shouted as he pushed German away - You had her love! And this is why I hated you and still hate you for!
- She had a good taste to men before... Until she got married to you - German hissed - Marrying a loser and betrayer wasn't a good move.
- Shut up!!! - he shouted as he took his gun out and pointed at his old friend - You don't know anything!!!
At this point German got so angry that he got the gun out of Fernand's hand and punched him.
- You didn't just ruin my life, you asshole! You ruined a little girl's life too with killing the king of Janina!
- I didn't know he had a daughter!!
- Of course you did! You have been working for him for months before you betrayed and killed him!!
And this time a serious fight started between the two men.
But not serious enough as soon German got Fernand to the ground and by now his demon was fully aware if what's happening and just gave German more and more power to fight his old friend down.
Just when he was on the ground Fernand saw the redness in German's eyes...
- Villefort was right... - he panted - You're a demon!
- This is all because of you! - German replied, stepping on his arm so hard that he probably broke it as well - It was you... Who have done this to me!
He then pulled him up, held him against the wall by his collar with one arm while he had the gun in his other hand and now he was holding it against his forehead, ready to shoot him.
- Ready to die? - he asked.
Fernand couldn't reply.
He knew this is probably his very last moment to be alive.
But then...
- German, enough!!
