Ashes and Blood Page #4

---

You should learn some manners!

The arrogance of the Drins!

Do you want black or white?

Do you prefer black or white?

You choose, sir.

Call me Timos.

I'll take white.

Men don't like black.

Why?

It depends who wears it.

I've nearly finished. Let's go.

Where?

I'll teach you to use a bow.

I've made special arrows.

What for?

To kill Damian and Slator.

They should be stabbed

but never mind.

My mother forbids us to use knives.

Why?

Knives are used just to kill animals.

Man deserves a bullet or an arrow.

If you use a knife,

you'll be doubly responsible.

There's a lot to die for here...

More than you think.

You should be careful.

Do you think my grandfather's a

killer?

- Who told you that?

- My mother.

What else does she say?

Nothing. She won't tell us

about her family.

And you'? What do you know'?

I know that killing for honour

doesn't make you a killer.

- Wait!

- Forget it!

It's my turn.

At least let me try.

Try again. Draw. Fire.

Sh*t!

- My turn now?

- I can't do it.

Give it to me.

How about a tournament?

Give me your bow.

MY turn!

I'll show you!

Are you ready?

Useless!

Your turn, Louppos.

You show them.

There you go!

That's an archer!

Scared of losing?

I don't play just anyone.

Leave him.

He's chickening out.

Like father, like son.

Say that again.

- Give me the bow.

- Take that back.

I won at chess!

Mira is beautiful

and intelligent.

She's the ideal wife!

Don't even think about it!

- No misalliances for the Pogradeses.

- Nor for the Drins!

I'm a little rusty.

I saw you this afternoon.

What were you up to?

We were playing.

But the game's more complex

with Judith's sons.

You have to calm things down.

You promise me that?

I already promised!

I know you hate the twins.

You and your cousins,

keep away from them

until Flora's wedding.

You've broken it!

Another one!

I hope Venera likes fish.

There's one!

Look!

What?

Is that your gift?

You see things that aren't there?

I see before I'm seen

because no one hears me.

Those twins are real d*ckheads.

They think they can insult us?

That we won't react?

When will you use their horse scam?

Later.

You don't give a sh*t.

I want them dead!

Why do you say that?

The twins' father and a Drin

fought for land.

The Drin killed their father.

The twins knew

that on the spot where he died

the land belonged to them

where his blood had stained it.

So they dragged the body

to make it look as if he died

on the Drins' land.

They made a mistake.

They dragged him

onto the Sikiases' land.

Our land, not the Drins'.

So'?

I said what I had seen.

I defended our land.

We can't allow ourselves

to become enemies.
