THE REVEALED TRUTH BRINGS THE PAIN OF REMORSE
They were in the courtyard of Dalton's entrance, Don David, Kurt, officers Santana and Brittany with the guard accompanying Hunter and Karovsky; when mr. Leonard Anderson approaches "Where is the bad character? I want to see his eyes, because if I see someone like him, I can avoid him. Which of the two is the villain?
Hunter, raise your head and look directly at Mr. Leonard responds sincerely "If you are looking for someone who has done you such a great offense and has caused your innocent son so great harm? Here you have me. "Trying to be fair to the friend Karovisky, who had no fault in what happened, except to have heard the confession of the facts.
Trying to remain calm, Leonard takes a step towards Hunter and asks him once again "Are you the wretch whose breath killed my beloved son?", Being answered sincerely by Hunter "Just my lord. Me alone. "
With a deep sigh to calm down, mr. Leonard looks Hunter directly in the eye, and in a solemn voice says, "That's not true, villain! Against yourself you are lying "hence, mr. Leonard looks over to where Don David and Kurt are following the conversation between the grieving father and the confessed traitor, and continues his speech in a grave voice. "Here are two worthy men, and the other one who also took part has escaped. I thank you, princes, for the death of my son. Declare the deed among your highest courage, as bravery is needed across the board to end a life. "
Feeling the words of mr. Leonard like stabs in his heart, Kurt tries to keep his voice emotionless, but fails "I don't know how to beg your patience, however, it is necessary to say something. "And with a deep sigh, and his voice showing all the remorse he felt, Kurt continues" Impose the punishment you think is appropriate for my crime, even though my mistake was to be deceived ".
Feeling the pain of the young friend, and in a way, his own remorse for the events, Don David, with his hand on his own chest in an oath, says in a serious voice, looking directly at Mr. Leonard "For my soul, I feel the same way as young Kurt. However, I feel obliged, for the satisfaction and respect of the good old man and grieving father, I feel obliged to suffer under the severe burdens that he would like to impose on me, dear sir. Leonard! "
Nodding at the two sorry men, mr. Leonard, who received the silent support of his brother, decides to answer both of them. With a serene voice he says "What I really want is not possible for me ... Since it is impossible for them to return my son to life. But I ask both of you to tell all the people of Messina that he died without being guilty. Who remained as pure and innocent as when he was born! If your love is capable of some sad invention, in the tomb an epitaph deposes you and sing a funeral song for your bones. Do this at night. Come to my house early tomorrow morning. Since it is impossible to be my son-in-law, my nephew will be. My brother has a son, who is the portrait of my late son, the only heir, now, of both of us. Marry him, just as you intended with your cousin, who at this very moment my revenge dies. "
Kurt, unable to bear the emotion that insisted on tearing his heart for the love lost in the figure of sweet Blaine, kneels at the feet of Mr. Leonard and with sincerity in his voice, and with teary eyes, he says "Oh noble sir, your kindness and compassion move me. I accept your proposal. From this moment on, you can have poor Kurt in everything and for everything ".
Accepting the young man's words, Leonard puts his hand on the shoulder of the boy who has knelt in front of him and says goodbye "Tomorrow I wait for you. Good night, for today. " And finally, turning to look directly at Hunter who was watching everything, quietly, says "... and this despicable individual, I want him to be confronted with young Wes, who takes part, I believe, in this plot, he pays for your brother ".
"No ... no way!" Hunter shouts promptly, but then pulls himself together, looking straight into Mr. Leonar says with all the conviction and sincerity that he has "For my soul, I swear that young Wes is not involved. In speaking to me, he ignored the full range of his attitudes. In everything I know about you, he has always been just and virtuous. "
Officers Santana and Brittany, who were watching everything in silence, at that moment decided to intervene. "I can say, sir. Leonard, that this rascal used a lot of language to seduce the poor and naive boy, as he confessed earlier in my office "said Santana with a disgusted look for Hunter. Brittany, in turn, in a more sympathetic way added "Believe me, this rascal said that poor Wes, was in love with him, and that's why it was so easy to deceive him!"
Accepting what the officers told him, and already tired of the unfortunate Hunter, mr. Leonard says goodbye to the officers "I appreciate the care and honest effort to do justice to my beloved son." Finally, addressing young Kurt and the prince, "Until tomorrow, my lords! Have a good time. "
Antony Anderson, who followed everything quietly beside his brother, finally says goodbye, bowing in greeting to the prince and young Kurt and says "We are waiting for you tomorrow in the chapel of Vila Dalton! Good afternoon!"
Don David, having nothing else to say, just gives a small nod and replies seriously "We will not be missing. We will be in the chapel for sure! Word of honor, gentlemen.! "
Rising from the floor, from where he was kneeling in plea for forgiveness to mr. Leonard, Kurt says solemnly, "Tonight, over Blaine's grave, I will honor your name and your memory. "And trying not to cry, dry with the sleeve of his uniform, the stubborn tears that insist on running down his face.
Don David and Kurt, excuse themselves and withdraw to prepare to watch over the innocent, leaving the Anderson brothers to decide what they think best about the confessed traitor.
Leonard and Antony Anderson, decide that they need to talk to Wes and clarify the facts that are still confused, so Leonard, turns to Officer Santana saying "Take them away. Do with both what is fair for your actions. For my part, I will inquire with young Wes, my son's tutor, how he came to know this fret. Good afternoon!" and go inside Dalton.
