They were just hot air that meant nothing to him. His hate for the Delecroix went deeper than some warm words could overcome. And Sir Abel would have to pay at some point too for what he had done in the past to the Karembeux. Luckily Martine was a strong-minded girl, she would know what needed to be done, if the things started to crumble. And they would crumble.<br/><br/><span style="color: #80FF00">"Are there any concerns you may have, Sir Damian? I have voiced mine, it is only fair that you be able to state yours as well. This is a two way arrangement, after all."</span><br/><br/>Hector waited for his father to speak up, but when nothing came from him, he decided that he could speak up to. Hector walked over to Sir Abel and placed his hand on the forearm of the man. His squeeze was hard, something a man could expect from a guy like him.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">“Well, I have some concerns. First one regarding my future wife. I have heard that you are monitoring her very closely. I would like to speak with my future wife under four eyes prior to the marriage to make her feel comfortable with this arrangement. And when I speak of four eyes, I mean four eyes. When I am walking around with Lady Iris, I expect that we are granted privacy.”</span><br/><br/>Hector had spoken very politely and in a neutral voice, but his voice showed very clearly what his opinion about the actions of Sir Abel were. He would not tolerate some overprotecting brother as the third member of their relationship. And he wouldn't allow that overprotectiveness with someone else either.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"The other thing. My father told me that you will marry my youngest sister. Like you, I care very much about my little one and she means a lot to me. Martine is a well-educated young lady with some need for freedom. If I have to learn that you are strangling her by protecting her all the time, I will visit your castle and we two will have a talk under four eyes. A serious one, because I want my little sister to be happy and not to be unhappy."</span></div>
