—Don't be ridiculous! What could you possibly do? Get out of the way!
His fear for Dominic only sharpened his fury at the meddling boy.
—Don't interfere!
Dominic was clearly not normal.
He needed to be seen by a healer.
And yet, Quintus restrained Gabrant and blocked his way.
—Unbelievable! Have he gone mad as well?
No matter what Gabrant said, they would not listen.
In the end, he was dragged off in restraints to the waiting room.
The knights stood at the door, preventing him from leaving.
Was this not imprisonment?
He grew restless and agitated.
—If something happens to Dominic that cannot be undone, how will you take responsibility?
Unable to bear it, Gabrant tried again and again to go to Dominic.
Each time, Quintus and the others grabbed him by the shoulders and shoved him back into the chair without a word.
—Damn this brute strength!
Angry, Gabrant sat back down heavily in the chair.
