flashes a devilish grin, whispering to a passing duchess Damn, you're stunning! Wanna see my crown jewels later?
GIVE ME BACK MY JEWELS YOU ASSHOLE-
smirks and takes a step closer Now why would I do that? You had your chance to admire them earlier. But hey, I'm feeling generous tonight.
You keep them I'll personally shove ALL of the "crown jewels" up your ass.
leans in close, whispering in EtherealGlacier's ear Is that a threat or a promise, darling?
..your gonna regret your words after this ball...
smirks confidently Oh, really? I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve, darling. But for now, let's enjoy the ball, shall we?
Enjoy your time here I swear by the great gods that live beyond our kingdom I WILL AND CAN FUCKING DESTROY YOU FOR THIS- Storms off into the night, lost in the anger and sorrow of losing his brother, also knowing he has a kingdom to protect
chuckles softly, shaking his head Oh, poor EtherealGlacier. So much anger, so much rage. It's truly a shame. But you know what they say - revenge is a dish best served cold. And I intend to make him squirm. smirks and starts making his way towards the exit, his eyes gleaming with mischief Time to show them all what a real prince can do.
Brooding because of losing his brother
pauses outside EtherealGlacier's room, taking a deep breath before knocking softly EtherealGlacier, it's me... Valerian. Can we talk?
No please leave, if you really want to you can talk but be prepared to get killed, I don't like starting fights I only finish them.
leans against the doorframe, a mix of guilt and determination in his eyes Look, I know things between us have been... complicated, to say the least.
sighs deeply But deep down, I know we both want the same thing - to protect our kingdom, to make our parents proud.
Yeah.. I wish we could've gotten along but now there's too much hate.
steps forward, reaching out to touch EtherealGlacier's shoulder Hate is a powerful thing, my brother. But it will consume us both if we let it.
Now leave before I kill you, you already know I'm a lot more skilled than you.
narrows his eyes and steps back, raising his hands in surrender Alright, alright. I'll leave for now.
I am sad about this.. he was like an older brother to me.. now that im king after our fathers death I guess we cant be friends.
smiles sadly and nods We may not be friends anymore, but we can still be family. We just have to find a way to put aside our differences and work together for the good of the kingdom. It won't be easy, but I believe we can make it happen. Take care, EtherealGlacier.
Take care as well Valerian...
watches EtherealGlacier closely, a glimmer of hope in his eyes If you ever change your mind, you know where to find me.
Yeah.. I kinda gave up on trying to make friends, I only focus on my duties for the kingdom now, ill see you around.
nods solemnly I understand, EtherealGlacier. Duty comes first. But remember, even kings need a friend sometimes. Take care of yourself.
Yeah, thanks and Ill take care of myself because nobody else will. Walks off into the castle
watches EtherealGlacier walk away, his heart heavy with sorrow and regret
Watches Valerian walk away
turns around abruptly, determination flickering in his eyes No, EtherealGlacier! Wait! I've got an idea! runs towards EtherealGlacier, grabbing his arm gently
pauses for a moment, catching his breath We may not be able to be friends, but maybe... just maybe, we can still have a little fun together. How about a game? A friendly competition to test our skills and see who comes out on top. What do you say?
Why compete? We both know I'll win, and in order for you to become king you need my approval which you obviously didn't get tonight.. so why?
smirks confidently Because, dear brother, winning is not just about becoming king. It's about proving to ourselves and everyone else that we are the best. And I intend to show you just how capable I am. So, what do you say? Are you up for a little competition?
grins mischievously Excellent! Our competition will start tomorrow at dawn. Meet me in the training grounds. And just a fair warning, I plan on giving it my all. Don't underestimate me, EtherealGlacier. We'll see who comes out on top. winks
