Jasper listened carefully, his mouth starting to get dry and his face burning a little. He became upset with her, but knew she was very impulsive and protective, plus he knew how much of a brat Vince was, so it wasn't all her fault. He still wanted to yell at her, make her apologize, fix the problem herself. Then she spoke of restoring honor and fighting for her. He placed a hand on his forehead and shook his head side to side with his eyes closed. Pondering about his choices, if he fought it would at least keep the honor and satisfy her, even if he lost, but if he won, it could make the King think that the deal made earlier was a mistake. He questioned it a lot before looking at her with strict eyes, "I'm not pleased with you Jemma, you've put me in a risky situation, I hope you know that."

He left her presence and headed towards his wardrobe where the maids had placed his clothes while he was with the King. He started to take off his larger articles of clothing and kicking off his boots. While undressing down to his slacks and t-shirt he continued to think about the outcomes. If he didn't fight EverGlenn would lose respect and the Prince would be looked down upon. This he couldn't have, he has to fight. He grabbed his golden blade and took it out of its sheathe and turned towards his sister. He inspected the blade before stating, "When is the duel? If I'm going to be fighting I need time to warm up and practice. You are coming with to both practice and the duel, you are also going to be apologizing to father when we get home, saying that you put mine and the King's deal at risk. That should be enough to teach you to watch your tongue next time." He returned his blade back to its sheathe and stripped down to his undergarments before changing into more suitable clothes for bed.
