A Golden Opportunity

Ernest spoke honestly for the first time in a while. Normally, he would brush it off to protect Hubert's name, and consequently, the Zamek family name. But this time, he felt like he could be honest with her and she wouldn't judge him for it.

He thought that the young lady would at least stop the conversation now that Ernest had expressed his negative view of Hubert. He believed that his answer was more than enough to quench her thirst, but he couldn't be more wrong.

"What a foolish thinking! That would only destroy the family. Does your father know about this? He should stop your brother from inheriting the title if he still values his family lineage and status."

Instead of stopping the conversation to avoid saying more bad things for the sake of politeness, the young lady just went on insulting Hubert blatantly. She was huffing and puffing, totally fired up with this topic.
