Solonius, Batiatus and others in “The Bitter End”

What if Vettius is the true cause of this? The boy's hatred for you is well known.

You are right. Vengeance would stand a hollow vessel were it not filled with retribution against all who have injured this house. Including young Vettius.

You twist my intention!

He but straightens purpose.

Is this not what set tragedy in motion?! Arrogance and impatience?! You are forever reaching beyond grasp, and dragging those beside you as you fall!

And you have never had the stomach to do what it takes to make a fucking name in this world! Good Solonius, forever bowing and scraping in the shit of his betters! Is it any wonder no woman would have you?
