THE JUNIOR FAMILY COMPETITION
"What do you mean? Killing my nephew is not a crime?" he asked.
"There were guards of the city who witnessed everything. Duke Erriley struck the boy first. The boy's bodyguard killed the duke in retaliation. That is considered self-defense under the laws of Drachia kingdom", the advisor told the elder man.
"Insolence. Nobody dares kill our family's people, self-defense or not. If the Prince is not doing anything, I will. Prepare our guards, I will flatten that bastard's entire family", the elder told the advisor.
"I am afraid that is unwise. The news of Duke Erriley's killing by self-defense has been spread across Tarah city and the entire Drachia kingdom. If we touch the Kaleon family now, it will make us look bad in the court of public opinion", the advisor told the elder.
"What do you mean? How can news spread about something trivial like this?" the elder asked.
