Gerald had waited right from the time he left Rhane's estate with an injured arm. If he was being honest, he had been waiting ever since he narrowly escaped a gruesome death.
Gerald was waiting to see the fall of Rhane.
It was inevitable, long overdue. A child spawned from a dirty affair of his father with a notorious prostitute, it was fair to have killed the child at birth, but the greed of both parents let him live. Gerald despised Rhane even more when he saw his mother weeping; their father had brought back another woman's child.
A woman of dirty blood. At first, Gerald didn't understand why his mother had cried because Nikolai didn't explain what it meant to him, then. Gerald's hate for Rhane came as natural as breathing comes to a baby.
