Chapter 57 The Night Visitor 2

• “I wasn’t vying for your position, Dim. I was just trying to grant the girl’s wish. She wanted to stay with us. She had lost her memories, and had no iota of who she is, except for her name. She was only forward with us because we had saved her. That was why we had appealed to the queen to let Maya stay with us, till she recovers fully; till her mind is totally restored. I have no interest in currying favors with the queen, nor do I have interest in politics. If I did, you wouldn’t be in this position of yours, you know right? You aren’t the chosen one. Don't forget that. Now, leave my house this instant, if you have nothing useful to say anymore, than cruel words and insults.” Peter commanded, his voice louder than ever as he pointed his finger toward the picket fence that surrounded his property.
• Dim huffed in anger, his chest rising and falling. I feared that he would raise his fist at Peter, but seeing a faint smile on Laura's face and the relaxed look on Diana who had left her dinner and had come to stand beside me a few minutes ago, I was sure that nothing of that sort would happen. But just like Diana had mentioned earlier, the banters would never stop.
• “Yes, I know I am not the chosen one. But I am operating the office now. Don’t you see, brother? You are very useless to the community, but I'm glad that you had given up your inheritance just to follow a woman’s skirt. Father never regrets his decision till date. He thinks of making me the crown lord soon, and no, you aren’t invited to the ceremony. Thanks brother for letting me have this.” Dim said scornfully, not moving one inch from his position, acting like he had not just been told to leave.
