Bab 45: Chapter 45 Getting someone’s head on straight.
I stood there leaning back against a dead tree and sighed as I had a shadow dump the crowned prince and his sword not too far from me. "What in the name of death?" He snaps as he rights himself and stands.
"Time to stop wallowing young princes." I tell him from my spot. "As far as I can see there's only two things you can do: fight for your future or suck it up and let your father control you." I told him.
"Who the fuck are you?"
"If you had been to the meeting last night you would know who I am."
"Fucking riddles." He huffed.
"No riddle, simply the truth." I said with a shrug. "You are your fathers eldest son one of the two princes to be married off if you like it or not Prince Hart and your cousin is a disgrace to the term diplomate."
"Then you're from the north." He said. "After that debacle my other uncle pulled him from the diplomate team." He tells me.
"Good I would rather not have to run my sword through him." I tell him.
He made a face then his eyes seem to light up. "Your Lady Diana Arcara." He said after a moment. "Both my cousin and diplomat Gareth complained nonstop about you and your ability to fight."
"Your diplomat needs to learn that trying to use a situation to harass females is not going to fly." I told him.
"Why did you drag me out here?" He asked me.
"Because we have been here for over 24 hours and you have been neglecting your duties as a crown prince." I told him. "Some of us find that insulting." I tell him, leveling him with a glare.
"Fuck if I care." He sighed.
"Your attitude sucks, you know that." I told him. "You act as if you don't have a choice. I know for a fact that the royal contact has the colus for mates."
"How do you know?" He asked me.
"I studied King Logan and Queen Amila. All of the noble younglings even turned young ones like me." I tell him and that made him give me an odd look.
"You were turned?" He asked me.
"Yea." I nodded. "My Father turned me when I was dieing got an issue with that?" I asked him.
"I didn't mean to insult Lady Arcara. I am just surprised that a turned vampire is a noble its just not how our clan or Bloodbound work." He said.
"I know but in the North if you're their venom line then you are their bloodline. My heart sister is going to be a new elder when her grandmother retires and she is also a turned vampire." I explained to him. "Now pick up your sword and let's go!"
"I'm sorry?"
"I said pick up your sword and let's go your not stupid." I told him. "Please do not make me have to drag you by the ear to the meeting room." I flashed him as fangy smirk. "I did say you almost insulated some of the kings and queens."
His jaw worked as he picked up his sword but he did move farther.
"Hard way it is." I told him as I walked up and grabbed him by the ear and started walking towards the meeting room.
"OW fuck let go!" He yelled as I dragged him into the castle and everyone was looking at us as I glared at them as we passed and then opened the door to the meeting room as I dragged him in. "Let's go damn it!"
"Maybe if you followed protocol and showed up when you were supposed to I would not have had to drag you out of your room but back into the castle." I let him go by his chair as I went and sat on my own.
"Nicely done Love." Logan said, looking at me as I sat down beside him.
"Of course Love." I grinned at him.
"Greetings Prince Hart, welcome to the greetings." Uncle Varance said.
"Greetings King Varance." He said after he checked the chair.
"Can you please explain why oh why you decided to skip protocol young man?" Queen Breanna asked.
"I apologize about my absence and the need for a diplomat to have to come find me." He said, looking at me. "I just didn't want anything to do with this mateship dabacole."
"I think everyone in my clan can agree with that but we were coming here as a political move." Logan said.
The door opened and I could not stop the glare of the idiot who walked in.
"Uncle…" Albaforth started and then he hissed at me. "Oh great, you're here."
"I would still watch your mouth young man. I still can and will call it a duel of honor." I tell him.
"You wretch you have no right here…" He started before both princes came up and Hart slammed his hands down on the table.
"Albaforth!" He snarled at him. "They are our guests and I will not have you disrespecting them!"
"Neither will I." Raley glared.
"Hart Raley this turned bitch…"
"Stop insulting our guests!" Queen Anastasia. "You insulted her in her own clan now as our guess you insult her again I am about ready to let her have your ass."
"I would enjoy that but at the same time I am sure that I can hand him his then." I said.
"I need you to take a step back young man or I will kick your ego if you don't start respecting not only my lady but my Lady Knights." Logan said glaring at him.
"King North." He tried.
'No you insult my niece again and you will have two clans coming down on your ass." Uncle said.
"Make that three." Queen Nataly snarled.
"Trust me when I say you will not only have three vampire clans on your back but you will have a witch coven on your ass too." Mother said.
Tacal's hand turned claws and he tapped them along the table. "Come now young man please leave."
"Get out." King Conver growled and he did just that.
I sighed as Uncle Icarus just grinning at Tacal. "I must say that was interesting."
"We can make any part of our body turn into our wolf form comes in handy when wanting to scar people."
"And then you agreed to spar with a few of our knights and Issic still has a scar from one of your claws." Logan huffed.
"Yea I didn't know that my claws wouldn't heal like that sword cut did." He said, rubbing the back of his head.
"You forget that your claws have an anticoagulant built into it." Norman said.
"No I know that but it seems to cause their healing factor to slow down." He said softly.
"I would love to test that theory out but right now is not the time." King Bloodbound huffed.
"What is the reason we are here?" Hurth asked.
"We are determining who is going with them to represent each of the clans or who is going to look after the clans if the Kings and Queens go." Father said.
"Which honestly probably would be the best idea if we are going to be signing a treaty." Queen Nightshade said.
"Indeed." Queen Anastaisa said. "Meaning you would be in charge while your father and I were away."
His eyes widened as he looked at his Mother and Father. "Oh."
"Yes Oh." His mother giggled.
"Okay." He nods. "When is this happening?"
"After the festivities here." Logan tells him.
"So two weeks." He said softly.
My eyebrows slide forward connecting as he fiddles with his hands. "You know I have a question about the festival or more accorat the three that are being pushed to Mating someone that is not their mate." I said.
"What is that?" King Cornver asked.
"Has their setual preference been taken into account?" I asked and Hart stiffened and Riley looked at his brother as his father became enraged.
"My children are straight!" He all but yells as I hummed.
"You don't like that your son is gay and that is why your doing this huh?" I asked him as Hart looked up at me in shock and Queen Anastaisia looked at her husband in shock and horror.
"Is this true? Are you doing this because our son prefers men?" She demanded from him.
"How did you…" Hart asked, looking at me.
"You feel safe." I said with a shrug. "No straight man feels safe when I first meet them."
"What does that mean?" He asked me.
"It's her magic." Mother said, making everyone look at her.
"Excuse me?" Father asked.
"As I said it's her magic Because of the trauma she has been through, even though her magic was dormant it gave her a feeling around people. Because of what her trama was a gay male would feel save because they would not hurt her in the way she had been."
"Is that how you figured out I was gay?" Father asked me.
"After meeting a few other gay male yes." I told him then turned to the prince. "And there is nothing wrong with being gay my heart sister is a lesban." I told him.
"Not wrong?" King Conver hissed.
"You're just as predicate as your father." King Bloodbound huffed. "That was why he was in the first damn place." He snaps at him.
He said nothing as his wife rubbed her nose. "Then the tournament will find not only Ruth's contracted husband but also Hart's husband."
"Absolutely not." King Conver hissed.
"Oh no please." King Bloodbound hissed. "Give me a reason to absolute your clan back into mine." He grinned at him. "You are still within a hundred years of me being able to do that for poor treatment of your people. And from what I have seen and heard I am this close to it. I looked at him and then back at King Conver who looked like he was going to pass out as his face turned purple and Hart pushed his chair back from his father. My eyes narrowed at that my shadows were ready should they be needed to move the Queen and Princes away from the ungrateful King. I felt Father's Shadows move as well as my eyes flick to him then back to the king.
"You think I would let my son be like the scum my father would bu…" He didn't get to finish his sentence as my shadows pulled both princes and the queen into them and put them out behind me as Father's Shadows had a hold of him slamming him back into his chair to the point we heard a crack.
"King Bloodbound I think it would be best to bring your child clan home." Father snarled.
Both the Princes and Queen Anastasia throw out their protest. "OR!" I said over all of them, making them shut up and look at me. I looked at Queen Anastasia. "There are three options, the one my father offered, the way Queen Nightshade took her thrown someone killing him and then Queen Anastasia would take control of the clan, Or the parent clan can put the child clan on probation."
