The World Is Ugly, Make It Beautiful » Places

         Evelyn froze briefly as she realized what she had done, the sharp sound flooding the small room. From the slight sting on her palm and the way her father's head had snapped back, a red print already forming, she knew she had used a tad bit more force than intended. "don't let him see your hesitation.." the princess chided herself, mustering all the hate she could to mask the brief flash of regret. Evelyn's blood soon ran cold seeing her father slowly turn towards her, rage glinting in his eyes. The words he spoke were dripping with the contempt and astonishment "Evelyn..this man is no subject of ours. He is a threat to our people. The enemy. We captured him one-thousand years ago and he has been here ever since. He is the son of Niron, the former King of Ialeos. He is what is preventing us from taking the Ancients' Throne. I will not let him go and you will remember your place, girl"

Suddenly, all of the regret she had felt for her violent actions had melted away at the unsettling words that flowed from this vile man and was instead replaced with a strong urge to lash out at him. Her tone took on the steely quality that she was famous for, the tone where every word cut like a knife "A king, no, a MAN, as repulsive as yourself has no right to rule!" In the corner of her silvery eye, the Princess could see the Dungeon Master flinch at her words for, even the man hardened by such displays of cruelty, was shuddering in anxiety and fear at Evelyn's very words and voice. The Dragon princess's eyes glinted a brilliant shade of icy blue in the casted glow of the torches as she watched for her father's reaction. "You will take my daughter back to her rooms. It's obvious that she isn't old enough for this yet.", that very line made Evelyn's fist ball up tightly in anger at his dismissal of her. Turning on her heels with astonishing grace, one cold glare tossed at the approaching man's way was enough to make him linger behind her.

Walking up the stairs, holding her chin up in a dignified manner, Evelyn allowed for a slight pause "Evelyn, when I rule upon the Ancients' Throne..you will rule here in my place. You need to learn the ways of the world." Casting her father a side glance, she mutters softly but still loud enough for him to hear "I refuse to rule under a disgraced throne." before gliding out the dungeon door.
