Benjamin Fier starts the chapter off by saying that he thinks that his family is cursed. Oh, if you only knew how your past has caught up with you. You shouldn't have been so obsessed with women practicing the dark arts as you killed a man's family and he has sworn revenge. Not with guns or knives, but with magic. The Fier brother is talking about being cursed while eating dinner.
Edward says that his father is starting to sound like a mean old man. It's taken you this long to figure that out? Benjamin even admits that his son is correct. But I bet Edward still truly believes that his father can do no wrong.
