"Of course, I mean it." Gabriel's tone was calm but carried an edge. "But if acting like your brother, ignoring my orders and doing things that displease me, don't expect anything from me."

"What did Benedict do?" Matthew asked, his face full of confusion. He glanced around before adding, "Didn't you and Benedict come back together? Why is it just you here now? Where did he go?"

"Your brother is my concern. Don't ask questions you shouldn't," Gabriel said coldly, his gaze sharp and unyielding.

Matthew immediately shut his mouth, knowing better than to push further.

At this point, he had no idea that his brother was already locked away in the water dungeon by their father.

He simply assumed Benedict had been sent off on another task and decided not to ask any more questions.

"Now, I have two other tasks for you to handle," Gabriel said, shifting the topic.

"Please tell me, Father," Matthew replied, his tone respectful but tinged with

unease.

"First, take some men and bring me a thief. He's your brother's servant, Manson Vorros."

Of course, Matthew knew who Manson was. He was Benedict's personal attendant,

trusted to handle most of his affairs.

"Why Manson?" Matthew couldn't help but ask, his curiosity getting the better of him.

"Enough! Do as I say," Gabriel snapped, his voice cutting through the air like a blade.

Swallowing his doubts, Matthew nodded and replied, "Understood, Father. I will take care of it immediately."
