Valex slowly got up and looked at Luna and gave a nod as he said, “I hope so mom.” He looked at her nervously looked at her and asked, “You will be back when I wake up right?” He didn’t care that he sounded like a little child he just wanted to make sure that she would come back.

Scover continued to set put their picnic items while his other and Sir William spoke. The teen smirked a little as Selene said she cared for William ans he tried to keep his face hidden from view so he didn't give anything away. He was happy his mother had found someone she fancied.
Jay watched as Valex got up and Lulu came to comfort him as well. "We can't promise we'll be here right when you wake up, but we'll try our best." He said softly. He didn't want the boy to be nervous if their meeting ran long. "But we will be back soon after if we're not back before." He said gently, slowly standing back up. "But no matter what, Valex, we will be back." He said. He looked to the guard near the door and told them to find a court mage and place him on guard. As well as protect the room with barrier magic and mental magic resistance to avoid the same thing happening before.

Sir William Redfort
William flashed the lady a bright smile. “Thank you, my lady, that means a lot. I have become quite fond of you and your family as well, Lady Selene. You people have done me a great service, and showed me nothing but warmth and kindness since I arrived, instantly treating me like one of your own, showing me respect, and honoring me with a knighthood. In my eyes, your family has done me such a great a service that I can never fully repay them for, though I will serve and protect your family until the end of my days, so that I can pay back as much as I can.”

Valex was hesitant but said, “I understand, just please do come back.” Slowly he walked over to the bed and just laid down. Curling up a little he slowly fell into a deep sleep.
Selene shook he head and said, “While I am grateful of you saying such things but I must say that is not needed. What I and my family have no need to be repaid for we gave you are trust and praise freely.” With a slight blush she then said, “Besides it would be unfair to make the man I fancy to feel in debt to me.”

Luna slowly gets to her feet and leaves the room. Once the door was closed, she takes a moment to compose herself. However, a small growl managed to escape her mouth as she thought about all the things she wanted to say to Valkner. "Let's get going." She mutters before walking towards the throne room.

Once the monarchs reached the throne room, they would see the Valker just tapping his food impatiently on the floor. This old elf has never been one that likes for others to keep him waiting, saw it as wasting his precious time thy could be used elsewhere.

Luna straightens up when she sees Valkner and walks towards him. She would do her best to remain calm around the man. "Valkner." She remarks giving him a curt nod.

Valkner looked at Luna and in an annoyed tone said, “Your majesties, I trust there is a good reason that I am being kept from seeing my charge. One would think that the monarchs would have better things to do than mess with another’s house.”

The king slowly walked in behind his wife and eyed Valkner up and down. At his look of annoyance when speaking to Luna, the king frowned more and looked like he was about to snarl something but stopped himself. He walked over to his throne and sat down with Luna. As Valkner spoke, the king's temples twitched with restrained anger. "That's funny to hear you say that like you care for Valex, Valkner. From what I've heard and seen, not just from Valex, you don't treat him like your Charge or part of your Household." He responded.
Scover's face and body whipped around when his mother actually said she fancied Sir William, and right to him too! The boy grinned happily with giddy excitement, but turned back to the picnic set to try and hide his face.

Valkenr crossed his arms as he said, “I don’t think that the exact nature of mine and the boys relationship is any your concern.” With a slight growl he asked, “Now I am loathed to ask again, for what reason am I not able to see my charge?”

The king looked straight at Valkner now, any semblance of kindness vanishing. "Where should I start? The fact that he was adopted under false pretenses and under assumed names, thereby illegitimizing that process. Threats of harm for mistakes that we all make, especially children. Using magic to track, locate, and punish him. The fact that he has to hide his most precious possessions from you because he's afraid of you breaking them." He said, taking a pause as he tried to calm his breathing as he had started to elevate his voice. After a moment, the king gazed right into Valkner's eyes, his hardened into steely daggers. "And the most damning of all. He. Doesn't. Want. To. See. YOU." He said, putting emphasis on the last word.

Valkner was a bit surprised when the king brought up how he had used a false name to adopt Valex. With a tick he said, “That boy is just that, a boy. He can not begin to understand why I have done the things I have done is to better his standing as a mage. Besides my methods are not against any laws so you have jurisdiction.” With a huff he then said, “As for the name, I used it as a way for the boys protection. If people found out that I had claimed him then they would also come for his power.”

Sir William Redfort
William began to sit down next to Scover, when Selene told him that she fancied him. He felt a slight blush creep on his face as he looked at her. “Y-you fancy me, my lady?” He inquired, half expecting her say she misspoke or something. However, after a moment, William started to feel like she didn’t misspeak at all. ’The way she has been treating me, and acting whenever I’m around, perhaps it’s true that she fancies me.’ he thought to himself, allowing a happy smile to spread across his face.

Scover watched as Sir William sat down and then processed what Selene said. The boy finished setting out the items he needed to for the the picnic then sat down beside William. He was glad William was happy and didn't seem to appear mad or anything.

Selene sat down on the blanket and said, “Sir William I am not one to mince words when I don’t need to. Yes it is as I said, I fancy you.” With a frown she asked, “Can I take it that you don’t feel the same from your reaction?”

Luna didn't believe him for a second. "Unfortunately for you, since those documents were not official, Valex had no actual guardian." She smirks as she says her next line. "Since he was a young boy with no family, Jay and I decided to adopt him. He's a prince now."

Valkner gasped as Luna told him about their adopting Valex from him. With a sneer he yelled, “How dare you and your family continue to hoard the strongest magic powers in the kingdom for yourselves. Is it not enough that your sister acquired the eyes to dispel any magic?” Pointing at them and accused, “Tou wish to keep the masses week so your can forcefully put them under your thumb with no hope of resistance.”

Luna crosses her arms over her chest. " You know damn well, we have no intention to oppress the people. Like I have said multiple times, certain artifacts have been kept safe in the castle for years! As for Valex, we simply want him to have a happy and memorable childhood. What he does when he is older is his choice." No one else on the council cared about the number of magical items they had except for Valkner.

After Luna finished reaming Valker out, quite well in his mind, Jay took the opportunity to speak up again. "You know, the way you talk is very distinctive. You don't care about Valex, only his power and the power of Scover. Not once did you call him your son. You just called him 'that boy.' You said you used a false name to keep others away from his power. Not Valex himself but his power. And you said 'also' implying you only sought him for that reason. AND you just referred to Scover and Valex as sources of power, not living boys with their own souls and will to do whatever they want." He retorted, beginning to emit his Alpha dominance as his blood pressure continued to rise. "You subjected Valex to the same treatment you accuse of us. Forcefully keeping him under your thumb, with no hope or chance of resistance. But this time is different..." the king said.

Valkner did not even flinch at the rise in bloodlust as Jay got more and more angry at his words. With a growing blood lust of his own he said, “Do not think your pathetic bloodlust will scare me you foolish pup. And that boy is only worth anything because of what I have done, I made him strong and powerful! What use would there have been in letting him waste time in being some worthless child!”

His words echoed around the throne room and everything suddenly felt tense. Luna could feel a growl rising in her chest and her eyes flashed wolf like for a moment before going back to normal. She had half a mind to throw this elf out of her castle. "He is not a worthless child. I am insulted that you would stoop so low as to call him that. Your teachings and your treatment of Valex is the main reason we decided to adopt him." She takes a few steps towards Valkner making sure to keep his gaze. "Should add that we simply asked Valex and he is the one who agreed to it."
The nearby knights place their hands on the hilt of their swords ready to jump in if the royals asked them too.

With a click of his tongue as Luna moved closer to him and said, “This must be the result of his connection to that boy, Scover was it. I should have know any connection to that women’s child would undo all of my hard work and make him weak.” With a growl he looked at his own fist, “Years wasted on my magnum opus and it is ruined by so insignificant whelp.”

Sir William Redfort
As William looked at Selene, he felt his respect and feeling for the princess to continue to rise. “Not at all, my lady! I-I mean, of course I do, I just wasn’t expecting you to feel that way towards me.” He then glanced at Scover, wondering how the boy felt about all of this, and if this was making the lad uncomfortable. Seeing that Scover had set all the food out, William lightly clapped him on the shoulder. “Good work, lad.” He commented with a smile.

Selene chuckled as she rubbed the left arm and said, “Well I have never been one to hide my emotions very well so at this point I just say what I feel. And yes I know just how out of the blue my announcement is, which makes your hesitation understandable.”

Valkner scoffed as he said, “Not by blood your majesty, he was just a low born boy who was gifted with his eyes. So I stand by my last statement.” He then groaned as he said, “I believe I have wasted enough of my time speaking on this subject, I have a mistake to fix.”

Luna gives a quick glance to the knights and Jay before looking back at Valkner. She wasn't sure what the elf was about to do but her people were ready. "What mistake would that be?" She said slowly.

Valkner turned his head to face Luna and said, “Frankly that is none of your concern your majesty. Honestly I just came here as a sign of goodwill, but I see that this is a worthless affair.” Slowly moving away again he snapped his finger as he looked waiting for something.

Jay watched as Vlker appeared to brush he and Luna off. He growled a bit and stood back up, reaching and gently rubbing a gem on his crown. If he had to use the ancient relic to protect his family, he would. He watched as Valker snapped his fingers and apparently waited for something to happen. "If you're waiting for your little trick to work again, it's going to be unlikely. Our best mages were positioned outside Valex's room. Casting anti magic, mental barrier, and more magics." He said. He then looked to Valker again, the crown he was wearing beginning to emit an energy. "And, you won't be using any spells until we talk. Ancient Relic, engage!" He said, his crown resonating with his words. Just like the last time with the Firewell envoy, a powerful anti-magic field was creating in the room.

Valkner growled as he moved his hands behind and intertwined the two together. With a smirk he said, "It is said that they only way you could even hoped to be taken serious as a ruler is by using that crown of of yours."
