[Gabriel Pendragon]

__________

Gabriel's Pov|

"The nerve of this bastard,you are not even a Pendragon. No pure blood,no red eyes,I am not even sure you are noble born,for all I care,you could be a son of a whore down the street. Just because Jungkook Pendragon adopted you doesn't mean you could look down on us",Katherine Bishop's outrageously insulting words reached after my exclamation.

I could see Idris smirking at me like I am pathetic. Moira does not even bat an eye but she did not seem impressed by Katherine's words either. Her eyes were blank,just like they had always been making me unable to wonder what she is really thinking.

The rest of the Bishops didn't react at all. But there were some faces of amusements or concern(maybe).

I smiled to myself as I stood up from my seat."Family line,nobility or appearance aren't going to tell you anything. For example,you've made the mistake of assuming that I am a patient man. True,I bowed my head when it was necessary. But that does not give any leverage to you all to talk or look down on me today. The family,the family,...you overestimate yourselves just because you have a family name backing you up,and you have no idea what I am made of as you cannot see beyond my blood and eyes. I am Gabriel,the name Pendragon does not describe my worth. Unlike you,I am not blinded by my own given family name. But I am proud to say I am a Pendragon. Because it is the name my father bestowed upon me",I looked at the surprised,shocked,amused faces of all the Bishops. Even Moira had a reaction this time. Her eyes were slightly wide as she stared at me.

I looked at Gloria to see if she was fine,for the first time,I could see her smiling proudly. Gloria had always been my pillar of support. She was my first sister and I was her first brother. We always had our backs ever since we were young. And she had always looked upto me,though she is literally stronger and powerful than me,in her eyes,I was never lacking.

Next I looked at aunt Luna,though I expected a little bit of disapproving look,she gave me a nod approving my wording. She stood up and faced the rest of the Bishops,"...Then we will take our leave. Hope you will find a better solution for the situation even though it pains me to leave my own home grounds like this"

She took her stance with no hesitation. As expected from the grand duchess Pendragon. She knew where to draw the line and what to do.

"You are leaving your own family like this?",Saintess asked,as if she was questioning aunt Luna's loyalty.

Aunt Luna took few extra seconds to size up Saintess' face and waited in silence,it was her way of ridiculing Saintess words. Her direct and upright personality,cold and silent demeanour,she is the royal mother of the nation through and through. "I am leaving with my family. After I was considered an outsider by you,I only have one family to care for. But do not mistake,my loyalty for this home ground has not faded and never will. I did what I could during the past months. I am a Bishop before I am Pendragon,so it's my responsibility to take care of the people,but with no help from the rest of the Bishops,this is all I could do",she looked at me and Gloria,"Kids,let's go home"
