"It was Matteo's fault that he lied to us and fooles us till the very end," Tsar pronounced. "If only he had told me the truth, he would have been alive. I gave him one chance, Lucius. But he refused to open his mouth and even lied to me that he didn't know you!"
Lucius didn't say anything as he just blankly stare at him.
"Lucius, forgive us. We are your family. We won't ever ask for you to join us and let you live the way you want," Tsar asked for one and only chance.
However, Lucius's next move truly surprised not only him, but the others present in the hall too. He turned to face Vladimir, who was still writhing on the floor in pain.
Lucius pulled him up and punched Vladimir hard before kicking him away. Tsar shouted at him to stop, but it seemed like Lucius had fallen deaf. He kept punching Vladimir and finally asked tilting his head while holding Vladimir with his collar, "Did you hit Matteo the same way, Tsar?"
