I wanted to just strangle him right there. It's his fault. He killed my mother. The man that sat before me, acting all high and mighty.I couldn't even move. My legs began to shake out of fear. He looked down at me and smiled. Not an evil smile, but a heart warming smile. He didn't even look a bit ashamed.
"Hello child." He said smiling.
"Y-you..."I said shakingly. "I will kill you," I said in a cold voice, taking the man and Clayton by surprise. Guards on either side of him took out their swords prepared to fight if I took another step forward.
"You killed my mother." I hissed looking down, barely a whisper but loud enough so he could hear. My eyes moistened thinking about her body on the porch. I looked at him again and what I saw surprised me.
It wasn't happiness, guiltiness, not even a shred of hostility. He looked at me with tears in his eyes, sympathy and sadness.
I looked at him surprised and he looked at me with a sad closed eye smile.
"Sorry about your mother, but I am not the one who took your mother's life." He said opening his eyes. Then who I thought. As if reading my thoughts he answered. "Ajax." said spitting it out like poison. His eyes that were with sympathy left no trace and was now anger, fury, hatred.
"My brother."
