Trying to recover from the strange situation they faced, don David and Kurt turned to Jeff who was approaching and greeted him "Look at Kurt! Here comes the man we were going to look for." Don David says, without noticing the boy's serious face, followed by young Kurt who greets his friend "So, Mr. Jeff, what news are you bringing?"
Keeping his face serious, Jeff positions himself in front of the two, makes a courtesy and replies dryly "Good morning, prince." Which causes strangeness, both for Kurt and for Don David, who responds with a certain irony in his voice "Good morning, sir.
Kurt, on the other hand, not realizing Jeff's serious and defiant look, completes the ironic speech that the prince began "We were almost cut off by noses cut by two toothless old men". Followed, again by the prince "Leonard and Brother Antony thought of challenging us. What do you think? A duel ... If we had accepted, I think we would have been too young for both of them."
Dissatisfied with the disrespectful attitude of the two friends, Jeff takes a deep breath and looks directly at the prince before speaking seriously "The real value does not prove to be a bad cause. I was looking for you."
Still ignoring his friend's serious tone, Kurt tells Jeff "We have been looking for you for a long time, because we are filled with melancholy, that we want to get rid of. Don't you want to use your spirit to have a little fun?"
More and more uncomfortable with the lack of tact of Kurt and don David, who ignore the situation that the Andersons were in, and everything that has unfolded in Dalton since the fateful ceremony of the previous day, Jeff lowers his head for a moment. Take a deep breath to try to put your emotions in order.
The prince, surprised by Jeff's quiet behavior, asks young Kurt "Am I wrong, or is our friend Jeff pale?" and then directing his question to Jeff "Are you sick, my friend?" which is answered promptly "No. I am not ill, my lord!"
Following the conversation, Kurt then asks "Are you tired then?" which is again answered with a negative from young Jeff who still doesn't look Kurt in the eye.
Don David, realizing that Jeff does not look directly at Kurt, and finding the boy's lack of playful answers strange, who always has a joke on the tip of his tongue, finally speaks "In this light, he is increasingly different. I think who is really sick. " And Kurt, still ignorant of Jeff's intentions, fires "If he's really sick, it must be love ..." but Kurt is brutally interrupted by Jeff, who advances on the young man.
Jeff pushes Kurt against the wall. One of his hands on the boy's chest, immobilizing him and the other hand grabbing Kurt's face, holding his breath, surprised by his friend's violence.
Approaching Kurt's ear, Jeff speaks in a serious and threatening tone "You are a jerk. I am not kidding. I have never been so serious in my life! If you don't give me satisfaction, and you don't accept my challenge, I will proclaim your cowardice. . You killed a lovely boy, but that death will cost you dearly. I look forward to your answer. " And abruptly letting go of the boy's face, Jeff steps away and fixes his own uniform.
Saying goodbye to the two men, who were surprised by his actions, Jeff once again spoke seriously to Kurt "Go well, young man. You know my disposition. I will leave you with your conscience, and await your decision." Then, addressing the prince, respectfully Jeff continues, "I thank you, my lord, for the kindness with which you distinguished me, but from now on I am forced to withdraw from your company. Your bastard brother, Don Sabastian, has fled Messina. gentlemen are responsible for the death of an innocent young man. " And again, turning to Kurt, Jeff says "As for you kid, we will still have to meet. Until then, be at peace." And turning around without giving time to any response from the two surprised friends, Jeff leaves.
As soon as Jeff is gone, Don David, recovering his senses, looks at young Kurt who remains silent, and says in a serious tone "The man is really angry."
Without looking away from where Jeff said goodbye, Kurt responds, massaging the face that held Jeff's fingerprints "Very angry. And I can assure you that everything is because of young Nick's love."
Worried about his friend, Don David looks at Kurt and asks "Did you challenge yourself?", Which is answered with agony in the boy's tone of voice "With all the letters, my lord."
Don David, more and more worried about the situation that was coming, says seriously to young Kurt "Calm down. Let's leave things as they are for now." And taking a deep breath to try to clear his mind and put his ideas in order, he continues in a serious tone "Am I wrong or Jeff said my brother ran away from Messina in the middle of the night?"
Before Kurt even had time to respond to the prince, officers Santana and Brittany approached them, with Hunter and Karovsky being brought in by guards.
Saluting respect for the prince, Santana greets don David and young Kurt, and pointing to the two malefactors, speaks firmly "Go ahead, gentlemen. If justice cannot calm you down, it will never weigh reasons in your balance. That's it: if you are cursed hypocrite, you must be appointed. "
Intrigued by the official's action, don David comments to Kurt "What happened? Two of my brother's servants were arrested? And one of them is Hunter, his right-hand man?" Also confused, Kurt replies to the prince "Try to find out what they did, my lord."
"Officers, what crime did these men commit?" asked Don David directly to Santana, who replied promptly "They are slanderers. They defamed an innocent young man and deceived another."
Realizing the seriousness with which the officer Santana spoke, Don David looks at the two prisoners, who were with their heads bowed and silent, and asks them "Who did you offend, gentlemen, to arrest you in this way? What was your crime? "
Hunter, without looking up, replies to Don David "Dear prince, listen to what you
I will tell you and Count Kurt to kill me after that. I have deceived you in your own sight. O
that all your wisdom was unable to discover, these two brought to light, for having heard me confess to Karovsky during the night, 1) how your brother Dom Sebastian induced me to slander young Blaine, 2) how you were placed in the garden to to see me courting and flirting young Wes, who from afar and under the shadows of the night, can and has been mistaken for Blaine.3) How, because they thought they saw a romance between Blaine and me, you dishonored her the instant you owed him "And, swallowing hard and raising his head at last, looking at the two gentlemen who were surprised by this speech, Hunter continued" The written testimony of my villainy has already been taken, which I prefer to seal with death than to repeat for my shame. The poor young man died as a result of my false accusation, which my master and I made. In short: I only now expect what is due to me. "
Kurt, totally bewildered by Hunter's statement, feeling his stomach churn, turned to don David and says "I feel like I drink poison all the time that this being told what he did.", And dizzy by the despair and regret that started to take care of his mind, look around without focusing on anything or anyone.
With his hand on young Kurt's shoulder, Don David turns to Hunter and seriously asks "Was it my brother who got you into this?", Which is answered promptly "Yes, promising me to pay well for it."
With a disapproving snort, Don David speaks in a harsh tone, more to himself than to any of those present. "Just out of betrayal and envy, this brother of mine is composed. Besides, the coward ran away after the villainy was done"
Hearing the prince's angry outburst, which made everything even more real, Kurt, his voice choked with emotion running through his veins, clutches his chest tightly and says in an almost sigh "Oh sweet Blaine! Now your image comes to me with the radiance that I so idolized.
Noting the reaction of the two gentlemen, Officer Santana, signals to the other guards and firmly says "Come on, take the miscreants out of here. At this time our clerk has already informed Mr. Leonard of everything that has happened."
Pointing at Dalton's gates, Brittany draws the attention of officer Santana by warning of the Andersons' arrival. "Behold, Master Leonard, his brother Antony, and the clerk are coming."
