Theony and Lord Theony (Part-2)

"It is a win-win!" 

Theony tried to put such a positive spin on the matter of letting Crown Prince Philips escape, claiming it was done as a way to obtain the best of both worlds.

Sort of like having one's cake and eating it too.

"*Smack* Idiot! If you were not my flesh and blood, I would have killed you here and now, "

But if you think that was enough to fool Lord Theony, then you had another thing coming.

For instead of putting on a thoughtful nod or look of dawning realization, the armored man only gave his son another tight slap, this on his other cheek, making both sides now equally ruddy as he cursed threateningly, before bombastically shouting, 

"You take me for an idiot? Feet on both boats! Don't you know what happens when you put your feet on both boats? You lose your balance and fall into the water! You die! *Smack*!" 

Lord Theony very knew that trying to play both sides was a recipe for disaster.
