"This is my Domain, it had been gifted to me by my father, the King!" The Prince's hand rolled over his short dirty blonde hair. "Do not undermine my authority!"
"Do you believe the Divine cares for your Authority, puny spec?" Jack referred to him as a piece of dust that would most definitely be blown away by the winds of time. He mattered not.
The Prince tensed for a moment at the tone of voice Jack used on him, seeing him less than an insect.
"Divinity!?" The Prince continued to collect himself and laughed at the angelic being who had yet to share its wings to with him. "You look to be just a man! A very tall, insignificant, lesser being of a man!"
"Are you reading a script?" Jack wore not an emotion on his face as he took small casual steps towards the man, his eyes going towards the second person beside him.
It was a wizard with a staff and a pointed hat. He looked to be older and wiser in age, yet spoke not once as the Prince controlled their side of the conversation. It however seemed that the Wizard refused to even look at the royal incompetent prat who had been speaking.
"You insult me, knave!" The Prince pointed his gloved finger at him, shoving the scrolled parchment into the wizard's chest. "You dare to insult the crown?"
"I dare to insult the being who allowed the Castle City to fall into economic collapse. Who seeded its guilds with corruption, and even allowed the Black Market a seat on the Lord's Counsel." Jack retorted though remained level headed as he rolled his jaw in an aloof and distant fashion.
The Prince's mouth hung open, as if it was an awaiting trap for a fly. "You dare blame me!?"
"You're inept. Just as the nobles I had stripped of their status..." His eyes dropped to the man's flamboyant tights that worked along with his tunic. "Perhaps I'll render you loin-less, Prince..?"
"Abbot," the Prince took a step back, shakily as he heard his words. His eyes then shifted towards the green haired elf who had stood there with a comb in her hand by the throne, then back to Jack.
"You-you're conspiring with the Elves!" He pointed at Jack, as if to immediately cause the swords of the Royal Guards to be drawn. "Seize him! We'll bring him before my Father at once!"
Almost immediately the Wizard fled from the Prince's side, but not towards the door. He instead took to hiding behind the back of Jack.
"Selven! What are you doing! Get back over here!" The Prince's attention had been scattered as he was stepping backward away from Jack, allowing his men to fill the gap between the two.
Selven, assumingly the name of the Wizard, shook his head as if denying the Prince's gesture to return to his side.
"You are my advisor! You must be by my..."
Six wings sprouted from Jack's back, crowning the horizon over the men's heads, with his holy feathers thickly spread "Side?" Jack finished the Prince's speech, an invisible wall of energy smashing into the men around him, sending them flying into the columns which lined the room.
Awestruck, the Prince couldn't make another word except for a singular tone from his throat, mentally cursing at himself. His eyes shifted over towards the Royal Guards. Some of them were trying to scramble to their feet, others, not so lucky weren't moving at all.
"I..."
"Were you not a believer in the Sorceress's words?"
Entering through the front doors of the reception hall after they had been closed, was the Commander of the local Guard, his helmet tucked under his arm. He had a shiner, a black eye, on the right.
