Location: Edge of Lover’s Lake-Roman Ceremony
Interactions: City Guards [/color][hr]

[color=9FA1A4]The ceremony was abruptly interrupted by the city guards looking Violet Damien. An opportunity presented itself, the exact kind of situation that with a little fanning of the flames could spread. Not only was this deeply disrespectful but Callum had a strong suspicion that they were here not by royal decree, but on Count Damien's behalf. 

[color=00F8FE]“You’ll have to excuse me for a moment, looks like time for some princely-meddling.”[/color] Cal whispered to Ari, a mischievous grin widening across his face. 

Roman’s men first tried to persuade the guards to leave, all while Roman himself entered fully into an enraged trance. A mixture of screams and roars erupted from Roman all at once, the sudden thunder of it was enough to make Cal jump. It was like he could feel the potential for disaster sparking through the air, the call of chaos Himself drove his feet forward. Callum stood, swaying under the inhibiting effects of the tea, moving closer to the city guards who stood with swords drawn. 

[color=00F8FE]“I, Prince Callum, command you to sheath your weapons immediately. [i]On whose authority[/i] do you not only disrupt a sacred ceremony, a brazenly sacrilegious act, but when asked to leave, you draw weapons against a close friend and ally to the crown?”[/color] Callum continued forward but kept enough distance from the guards to ensure both he and they needed to shout to be heard. He wanted every word to be heard by those in attendance.  

[color=00F8FE]“This event is sanctioned and under the protection of the crown so by whose authority have you decided to defy the will of the crown?”[/color] Callum performed, his words flowed without second guessing, as clear and decisive an action as when he had carved words into the wall of his room. It flowed not like Edin’s rants, but as calculated and cold as Alibeth had been that morning after the forgotten after party, he wore as stern an expression as he could manage.[/color]
