The two had to be calm. If a fuss was made then others might think something was wrong. Though things were to be soon very wrong. none the less they were both prepared for the worse. That being the Queen's wrath at going against her wishes. Though Thalion had sworn to Damien that he would not stand idle and watch them throw either of them in some cell or worse. Damien protested such actions saying that bringing who he was into this would not help matters.

None the less time ticked by, slowly at that. Nobles were all alike it seemed. Even across different races they were all alike. Repeating the same thing. The same welcome to their soon to be king. It was almost sicking to watch. They acted so fake ... This bored him but his unsettled mind kept telling him that something was wrong. Like there was a aura in the air that something was about to break.

This was when Destro took turn for his speech. Though it was not what anyone was expecting. Right away Thalion knew that Destro was up to something as soon as he looked over this way. It was questioning what though. The speech continued on till he mentioned the fire element. Ah... so thats what his game was. He knew more then he was letting on at the moment. Not Thalion was counting how long it took for the speaking Destro to spill what news he had.

Damien seemed to catch the same hint as he shifted a little. He never even told Sateeva who Thalion really was. It hardly mattered. He had told her that he was not a commoner and what his own rank was but that was the only thing that seemed to matter or be worth telling. It had been a well kept secret. Even during training he had made sure to only do spells that required the use of fire and not just merely making it from your own will. Such powers would have given him away from the start.

He half hoped he read into this speech too much but then that was when Destro seemed to speak of their king fooling everyone. "and here we go.." Thalion muttered under his breath cursing that he didn't kill the male speaking the few times he had the chance during the past few months. This was hardly how he wanted attention that was certain. Though it was what came after his name and blood right that hit harder.

Lover to the King" When did he find that out? How long as this bastard been holding on to that information just to blurt it out here?! If they were anywhere else he swore he would have knocked that bastard off his current pedestal he seemed to think he was on. Though now it was a bit of mixed reaction, a blood line that was suppose to be dead and now the idea that the King was corrupted or something. He stopped listening to the sudden rise of chatter.

"Here I thought things were going to be too easy." Thalion hissed a little so only the ones close could hear. Nope it seemed that things just took that feared turn for the worse. Sateeva Looked at Damien questioning him before he nodded a little. So they had the soon to be wife who cheated on the king let alone with another race that was suppose to be enemies to the wood elves. Plus on top of it the king and his lover who was none other then a royal of the same said enemy race.

Though this was when the Queen raised her voice calling order to the room before demanding what the meaning of this was. This seemed to be when Sateeva finally cracked under everything and blurted out that she had been unfaithful. Maybe her and Damien were trying to avert the full blow from Thalion and Mizuki but either way that seemed to be out in the open as well.

Destro quickly spoke his thoughts and that such a lowly commoner sleeping with Sateeva deserved one punishment and that was death. Though that was when Thalion had had enough of Destro as a few murmurs filled the air once more as the Queen seemed to think over what to do about all of this. Though for someone not wanting to lead Thalion could make himself known very well when he so chose to act. This was when he demanded the silence and attention of the ones who were talking; either disagreeing or agreeing with Destro.

It took one mere word at that, though anyone close to Thalion could probably tell that he was more then ready to bolt if given the chance form this situation. To anyone else he looked as he should. The last of a royal line and one that was demanding a bit of damned respect after the shit he had been through here. "Say what you will about my line or who I am, but seeing as someone decided to go and make that information rather public... Damien is no mere commoner. If fact if you bothered to waste your time researching a bit more instead of trying to fault someone who is the last heir to the throne you might have known that already."

Over stepping bounds a bit maybe, but he had a good point. Thalion was no pushover and though he never did anything like this in his life he nearly seemed to be completely in charge. At the least it seemed to keep the room silent and kept attention of those in the room. For now the Queen seemed to let him speak as she was still making her mind up.

Thalion went on saying Damien's full name, rank and the house or rather his family rank. Really Damien didn't have to be a royal guard he could easily be a council to the royal line but it was his choice. Destro seemed to be unable to find a come back for this though as he did start to speak Thalion silenced him rather quickly.

He knew what the other was going to bring up and he was not going to stand here and let this damned bastard win the Queen's thoughts with poison. "Before it's asked, yes what was said was true. Both parts. I am the last living of the royal line that was said to have died over twenty years ago." Though he glared at Destro daring him to say anything, hell maybe he wanted him to say something. Challenge him right now as he spoke again. Words Mizuki probably never thought he would announce but seeing as it was out there already Thalion had said to hell with it and he was not going to let everything they worked for to be in vein because of some mage who thought he was some hot shot. The bold statement that he was Mizuki's; the king's lover. He almost dared anyone to challenge that though he didn't say a word more.
