The climax of events leading up to one line and one line alone.
As Aegon stood there, listening to who he considered his closest friend in this world, stand and sell him out over the phone.
He also wasn't completely deaf to the rest of the call, he clearly heard Eli say he just wanted his sister back.
But right now, he only had one thing to say.
"How long?" Aegon spoke finally.
Eli froze, his eyes were wide open while beads of sweat trickled along the sides of his head.
Not hearing an answer, he continued. "How long have you been trying to kill me?"
"..."
The tension in the room was volatile. The silence was suffocating but their stare held strong.
"It's not exactly how it seems," Eli spoke slowly, raising his hands innocently. "There's a lot more to this than you think."
"Then explain," Aegon hadn't moved an inch from the frame of the door. "Let me understand, because this doesn't look good at all."
