Chapter 17 - Is Another's Damnation

The person that betrayed me.

The only person I truly trusted.

It was my Mother.

Shocked. Unconvinced.

My mouth opened wide enough for god knows how long.

My eyes still in their mortified state looking at her face.

Her face filled with guilt but her eyes not asking for any redemption.

All of us completely stuck like a statue for two minutes and finally when Leopold couldn't take this stillness anymore.

His eyes looking at me in contempt he said "So tell me, Bastard... Do you still dare to lie in front of your Mother"

My eyes loosing their light as the reality sunked in. I was thinking about her.

"Yes It's mine"

"You mean my families"

All the times she played with me.

"Yes it is"

"And you stole them?"

All the times she sang to me.

"I did"

"So you admit to being a thief who steals from his family"

All the times she played with my hair.

"I am"

"Didn't I tell you father and sister that this snake couldn't be trusted, he can't truly be our family"

All the times she said she hugged me.

"He is a low born rat and he deserves to be there"

All the time she said she loved me.

"Your completely right, Brother no Leopold"

All those moments.

I look at Leopold, my eyes now filled with anger and self contempt "I belong there, I am just a- what did you say yes a low born rat"

All of them were false.

"But you Leopold, are an even worse bastard then me"

all four of them had shock in their faces listening to me. Father had wide eyes, Diana's mouth was open, Leopold still in his place and his face filled with anger and my mothe- No that Bitch was in shock looking at her son who was clearly angry.

My father's face became angry as he looked at me from his strung up high horse of a throne. "So you do not ask for forgiveness but instead you insult your older brother"

I looked at his face confused "Forgiveness for what?"

"That you stole from your fu*king FAMILY!" he said loudly.

"Okay so your going to take that path, alright then tell me where were you when your son was born, tell me where were you when your son looked for his father, tell me where were you when I wanted to buy some clothes or some food or-or some toys, you never give me any memories or anything to remember you by, te-tell me where were you when your son was being bullied by every other kids or his fuc*ing BROTHER, tell me where were you?" I asked him as my voice started breaking.

My father's face was in bewilder as he listened to my ramblings.

"No No you weren't here when I needed you the most, you were with your other Freaken WIVES doing god knows what" I pointed at him with my finger "You don't have the right to judge me and you certainly don't have the right to fuck*ng call yourself as my father or anyone of them either 'Deep Breaths'" I started to take deep breathes as I ended my talk.

Diana with anger soothing from her said to me "How dare you speak like that to our father apologize to him, NOW!"

The bitch coming closer to me said "Baby don't say things like that, say Sorry to your father, come on say it quickly"

I barked at her "Get away from me" She stepped backward as she looked at her son with her shocked eyes.

"Ba-Baby don-don't be like that"

"Stop it Amanda, he clearly won't listen to us anymore" My father said as he gave a long sigh.

He slowly got up from his throne like-chair and walked three steps forward.

"As you have not apologized for your misdeeds but also spoken shamefully of your brother, mother and even of your FATHER. I the master of the Halbert Great House decree your punishment as banishment from the Halbert great house and also disown you as your father. From now on you don't have any rights to my or my family's properties and are to leave immediately."

Everyone listening to the verdict had a different expresion. Leopold was esthetic, Diana was shocked and the bitch was scared.

The bitch came closer to my now not father and bowed her head as she said "Please darling don't do this to him he's still a chi-"

I interrupt her with a loud scream "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE YOU BITCH, I don't need you fucking pleading for me"

Hearing me brought tears to her eyes.

"And I accept your verdict and I also don't want your fuc*ing houses name or anything even remotely to it." I turned around and start to leave but was stopped by a shout "Hey bastard take this as a final courtesy of the family who you brought such shame upon"

He threw the bag of coins that was at the floor to me. I caught it with my right hand right hand and squeezed it hard as I thought 'You will rue this day, Halberts' Then I left the room.

As I walk out of the house Emily and a few other House staffs who were loyal came to me.

"Young master you can't go like this" All of them pleaded to me.

"I am already disowned guys, even if I wanted to I can't stay here"

"Th-Then I will also go with you" Emily said to me in a hurry.

"I also will go" A butler said.

"Yeah me too" Another one also said.

"Yeah"

"Wherever the young master goes we go too"

"All of these people are just pretentious-rich bastards no-not you young master' Most of them started to say.

Hearing them brought a flicker of happiness in my heart.

'No I wasn't alone, I had them to worry about me, but I can't let them come with me.

"I'm not your young master anymore and you can't come with me"

"Why not!" A maid said to me.

"You still have your family think about them, what will happen to them if you leave here"

They couldn't rebuke the words coming from me.

"But I am still coming, what will happen to you if you leave so suddenly, you can stay will me, Young Master" Emily said.

Hearing her I gave a reminiscent smile at her.

"I can't do that Emily, what will you do with Hannah if you leave, how will you take care of her"

Emily stuck between words "Bu-But what will you do, where will you go?"

"Me? I'll be alright and I'm sure there is a place in this world where I can live happily"

"You-YOUNG MASTER, ahh ahhh" Emily suddenly cried out loud and hugged me.

Feeling her sudden hug shocked me but I laugh and hug her back. All of the other's also came and hugged me as I hugged them back.

After a while we all said our goodbyes and I start to leave.

As I walk out of the Halbert House's big marble Main gate I hear shouts from behind me.

"Young Master, we all will miss you"

"Young Master, if you ever are hungry you can come to me"

"Young Master, If you ever get in any kind of trouble you can come to me"

Hearing them brought tears to my eyes.

The sky that was dark with heavy clouds start to rain heavily upon the Tudor Continent.

looking at the ashen black sky as it rains upon my crying face I say to myself 'I swear to whoever God is out there that this is the last time I will let myself cry.'
