🖤 LOVING THE TWISTED 🖤

Chapter 04: Who Is Bickering With Who?

"One more word from your mouth! Just one more word about Win! I swear to all gods above that you will experience pain in your life like you have never been through before! Mark my words!"
Bright wasn't shouting but his voice sounded like it, he wasn't warning but his aura seemed like it, in fact, he was just merely stating facts but... his tone was screaming so much more with so much power.

Mile gulped as he took a step backwards from Win who still had his eyes fixed on him, staring deep into his orbs, with no fear and no difference to the surrounding. He was brave and stern and his eyes screamed power just like Bright's did.

"Win."
Bright finally voiced on Win and the younger boy immediately broke his gaze from Mile and looked at Bright

"I want you to stay outside until this is resolved and the next time you argue with your impulses, get ready to apologize and face punishments."
Bright said in a stern voice and Win immediately nodded bowing to him

"Yes Sir. I'm sorry."

"You may take your leave. Stay outside until I come."
As Bright said it, Win meekly obeyed exiting the chamber and making his way to wait for Bright at the hallway.

"Can we get to the topic again?"
Max asked trying his best to calm the atmosphere down and everyone paid their attention to the real thing once again.

"So you mean that our areas might be attacked in the future as well?"
Mew asked clearing his thought as silence seemed to be engulfing the atmosphere once again and Mile nodded.

"Well there isn't any assuarance that they won't be."
He said

"Good point."
Mew nodded agreeing.

"We also should actually and really be careful  with whom we share information with. I will inform Father about this as well."
Max said and once again everyone nodded. It couldn't be neglected that everything in the environment became awkward and tense after the row and Bright knew Mile had a point and what he intended to say, but the insults and rebukes directed at Win was what triggered him.

They still did not know Win was the son of Nanny Jane and Sir Laurence and Bright couldn't tell it to them until Win allows him to and he found it so offensive that Mile always looked at Win with a hateful eye.

"There will also be another problem with this. Northern area supplies 75% of our food and now most of the farms are destroyed which will lead to a drought of food."
Mew said making a point and then the discussion carried on, explaining the situations and about quick and effective steps they could take to minimize the adverse effects.

Without any of them knowing, hours passed and finally when they could feel the metallic taste on their throats due to too much of talking, everyone came to the conclusion that they should put an end to the discussion for the day.

"Let's meet up again tommorow morning."
Mile said and then looked at Bright

"Hopefully we can go with better terms tommorow."
He said once again and Bright intense gaze instantly fixed on him

"Yes. Only if you decide to keep your hypocrisy to yourself."

"We are not having your bodyguard boy on the discussion, so it will go well, don't worry."
Mile said smiling, clearly in the intention of provoking Bright as he was still raged with how Win spoke back to him

"Listen to me carefully, Brother. If you are trying to provoke me, right now what you are succeeding at is making us even more distant than what we are. I had to make myself a lot courageous to breath the same air as you and right now, what you are doing is disgusting me to the marrow of my bones. I apologize you for Win's impulsive talking back and I would prefer it if you could respect him because I respect the bodyguard who protects my life unlike you who treats them like trash. I am grateful for them for going through hells just for me. Whether I be present or not, I want you to respect and keep Win Metawin unharmed. Finally... get this inside your head well! Metawin is going to be present for tommorow's discussion and you are going to keep your insults to yourself. That's it. Final. Period. This meeting is over and we are meeting tommorow in my chamber at sharp 09.00 AM."
Bright finished with sharp and stern gazes at everyone and then bowed
