Raegar looked into his grandfather's eyes and firmly nodded. ''Yes. Family is everything to me. I'd do the same for you and Grandmother or my aunts.''
Griffin nodded, pulling Cassian to his feet and giving back his sword, declaring. ''You two will stop fighting; you're both in the wrong here, and neither is in the right. There will be no infighting within the family!''
The surrounding members all agreed as the old man looked at his uncle with narrowed eyes. ''And whars your answer son?''
''I'll hold no grude toward the Blackwood boy,'' Cassian answered.
A sharp, resounding slap rang through the air as Griffin struck him, his voice cutting in with a stern warning. ''Don't lie to me, Cass! I can tell when you're hiding the truth. Raegar is a Vaelthorne, he's your sister's son and blessed by both your mother and me, so cut that shit out now.''
