Wolfric wasn't interested in the kings talk of the same politics he heard many times in previous dinners, what was ironic to Wolfric is that he could point out where the king's policies fails to benefit him and how he could improve it and actually have the strongest kingdom because he possessed the needed resources. He was more interested in the tense that was building little by little across the table, he couldn't hear the conversation well but he could see the reactions of the group and it seemed that Adria was insulting her brother and his date the princess. The servants distracted him by throwing a piece of meat to Wolfric to get him busy with something instead of just staring at everybody and giving them an uneasy feeling, and to keep his mouth busy with something other than talking back to the king and his guests, Wolfric usually didn't eat it as a sign of rebel but he decided to eat this time to keep himself busy, he couldn't pay much attention to what was happening at the other end, till he heard Adria's voice insulting her brother, he was a bit surprised as he was still munching on his meat and stopped there just watching Adria with a wide surprised look on his face, he was barely able to hold himself from commenting something funny, but he didn't want to raise the tension in the air. He couldn't help but to feel a bit excited by the family drama, breaking the illusion of the perfect family yet he was feeling bad for Adria that she couldn't feel happy being surrounded by her family. Adria sat down and glanced at Wolfric as he resumed eating wanting to give Adria a thumb up but he didn't want to raise suspicion. A servant came in carrying something wrapped, and as the king started talking about a gift of some sort Wolfric got interested until the gift was unwrapped revealing his sword, Starfang, a relic of the werewolf culture inherited by every alpha. Many myths involving its origins was told through history but no proof of them was ever found but one thing for sure is that it's metal was not of this earth and had extraordinary properties. Wolfric knew that it was in the possession of the king and he didn't feel bad about it since he defeated him and won it, but to give it away for such reason was unacceptable. [B]"You ungrateful bastard! How can you give away such a sword!? Do you even know how valuable it is? And for what? Because your son is marrying his daughter, that spoiled brat you call a son can not do anything on his own not even come up with a gift of his own, so you go and solve his problem. Tell me will you even go to bed with her instead of him too!? Do you remember how strong that sword was? It broke through you'r sword, shield and even your armor in one strike. I could bear all your stupid politics, and bad parenting. But this is the last straw"[/B] Wolfric was furious he couldn't help but to shout at the king and not caring what will happen next. The guards whipped him and stroke the whip around his neck choking him so he couldn't speak anymore, Wolfric resisted all he could but then fell on his knees barely awake. The guards unleashed him as the prince slammed the table in anger, something he has never done before, he has never replied to Wolfric it was only his father who did this but the insults he was listening to couldn't allow him stay calm [B]"That's it father. How can you allow him to live any longer after hearing such insults to me. Father allow me to end his miserable life."[/B] The king sighed in anger not knowing what to say because he knew deep down that Wolfric was right but he couldn't admit it, and he wanted to shut his son while maintaining some dignity of his own [B]"If you really want to end his life, how about you end it while proving him wrong. How about you face him in combat and you can end his life if you win... But if you lose, I will not give the sword instead you will have to bring a gift of your own. I doubt he will be of any challenge since he's wounded and weakened"[/B] The prince startled for a bit, but was interrupted by a coughing Wolfric [B]"I do not even want fight such a spoiled kid.. Even if he used dirty methods.. I will still win.."[/B] everyone was still silent while the three were talking and all was staring at the prince awaiting his answer.
