"So what? I'm still an Asturias."
"You're not an Asturias anymore!"
"I still have the blood of one. Besides, why should I care if it's a family secret? You lost a bet with all the powerful people in town right there. It's time for you to pay up."

"You have until next month, but if you do it before Monday at 7 p.m., you'll prevent that from being published."
"Damn bastard…" Darius muttered furiously.
"Huh?" Lucius laughed and gave him a light slap near his ear. "I love you too, Darius. You're my little brother, you know?"
"I didn't tell you I loved you, you damn bastard!" Darius roared back and shook off Lucius's hand. "I'll see you here Sunday night," he said, before running off.
