"How dare you speak to the queen in such and insolent tone!" Gabe roared.
"Now now Gabe." Queen Reina said. " Lets hear this young man out. It might prove, amusing."
Gabe bowed to her and shut up. Raf watched as if in a trance as the young man walked up to the dining table and placed the deer on top of the other food. He was handsome without a doubt. He carried himself regally and looked extremely proud. He was lean but well muscled, with dark blue hair and pale skin. He wore a red cloak with a hood and there appeared to be a bow and arrows on his back. But what she found most odd and enchanting were his eyes. They were like molten gold and held many emotions. Some of which she couldn't place, but she caught the most apparent ones. Anger, disgust and resistance his eyes made him seem much older than he actually was. And what was most peculiar was that covering his left eye was a mark that took on the shape of a star. She was brought out of her musings by her aunts voice.
"So who are you and why have you come here?" The young man smirked and proceeded to do a overdramatic bow.
"I am Sulfus Zollfenello your highness. Born of noble birth and raised accordingly."
"Well now Sulfus why have you burst into my dining hall and rudely disrupted my party with your…deer?" The queen finished her sentence awkwardly as she didn't quite know how to best phrase the question.
" To issue a warning my dear queen. If you do not stop taxing the peasants to the point of starvation, arresting them for petty crimes or chain in your guards me and the peasants will have no choice but to rise up against you. With me leading the charge of course. And as for the deer, well I thought it would make my complaint a little stronger since the two girls that rightfully killed it were almost arrested for their action." He finished his statement with a smirk.
At this time Gabe stood up and slammed a hand against the table.
"How dare you act in such a fashion! Treason against your ruler in spite of your noble lineage! What do the peasants matter?! They are no concern of ours! And you illegally poached a deer in the queens forest! You should be arrested for your crimes!" Gabe was about to continue when Raf's voice stopped him.
"You're the man aren't you? The one whose been helping the sick and injured and provided shelter to the homeless. The Hooded Devil, that's you isn't it?"
For the first time since entering the palace Sulfus laid his eyes upon the princess. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. She had bright blonde hair with a red streak that was swept to the side. Her cheeks were a rosy pink as were her lips. But what made Sulfus's heart stop was her eyes. The were an indescribable color of blue and were now looking upon him with kindness, respect and admiration.
Ignoring everyone else he went right in front of the princess and sat on the table never once breaking eye contact.
"And if I was your highness?" He said in a whisper.
"Then you would be very brave and very kind." Raf responded in kind. Sulfus slowly took her hand in his.
"Rumors of your beauty have spread for and wide, but I see that they hardly do you justice." He smiled at her rosy blush and brought the hand that he was holding to his lips and kissed it, never breaking eye contact. He managed to kiss it one more time before Gabe, his face bright red yelled.
" Get away from princess Raf! Guards seize this man!"
Guards from every side surrounded him. Raf looked around panicked. But Sulfus was the very picture of calm.
"What's wrong pretty boy? Can't win a fight on your own? Wait stupid question of course you cant. You don't even know how to fight!" Sulfus mocked. With that he snapped his fingers and Gas, Kabale and Cabiria burst through the door brandishing their weapons. Gas was using a wooden staff, Kabale was using darts laced with a sleeping potion that she had concocted and Cabiria had decided to go old school using daggers.
"Seize them!" Gabe and Reina yelled. And that was the beginning of the chaos.
