Patricide

Grant’s face changed immediately

"Benjamin... Has he always been in contact with you?"

"No, this is the first time he’s sent a letter in such a long time," Claude explained quickly, "This letter is for you but it didn’t manage to reach you, so I have to forward it to you..."

Grant waved his hand instead and interrupted Claude.

"Do you know what he did outside of the country?"

Upon hearing that, Claude watched as Grant became agitated, he then fell silent. After a short while, he answered to Grant by nodding his head.

Grant noticed that he was being inappropriate, he took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, but his voice still bore a sense of resentment, "He hid from all of us, became a mage, and even announced this secret to the public on the stake... Yes, he ran away, but did he think about what would happen to us?"

Claude looked up, "He went up to the stake for you."
