The confrontation between the two wolves seemed to take the two away from the scene unfolding in front of the queen. It bothered Valentine just how much attention he had to put on his own ally who seemed to be lost in his desire to make a name for himself. He knew Sebastian. He was never this reckless. This was an action that was against his father's wishes. As much as there was an unending friction between Valentine and his father,there was a certain respect he had for him. The reason he followed him was not due to their blood. That shared a part but it was not the entirety of the reason Valentine followed Martin. Martin was a good leader. He knew what was best for the wolves and even if his actions were unorthodox,they proved to be in the benefit of his kind and that was something most leaders skated over when it came to power.<br/><br/>As the first visitors were brought up to Felicia,Valentine and Sebastian began to speak to each other in Spanish. "So. You are really going to this aren't you,Valentine? After all the time we have spent together. All the missions we have completed as a team. you are going to toss your friend to the side as if he was nothing more than a nameless soldier." Valentine let out a scoff. A smirk curling at the edges of his lips in amusement to the comment made. "You are joking,Sebastian. This has nothing to do with friendship or comradery. You are anxious. I saw it when we fought. And I am seeing it now. Look at yourself. You come here uninvited. I am sure that my father doesn't even know you are here. So you not only show up unannounced at the Queen's court,but you expect to be allowed to do as you please. You expect to be allowed to be seen among royalty. And you do it with your own colors. Not the colors of our pack. Not the colors of the Queen. But yourself. Leave. Before you embarrass any of our kind any further."<br/><br/>Valentine stood and waited. His gaze holding down while Sebastian's seemed to be waning. Not in fear but showing signs that his words were striking nerves again and again. Sebastian began to open his mouth as if ready to speak when Edmond and Martin both began to walk out of a door opened by a servant. Making their way out to the edge of the crowd not wanting to pull any more attention that the beginning gaze would require. Valentine turned to look towards his father. Martin stood tall in a suit unlike any he wore before. Instead of the white suit he frequented,Martin wore a suit much like Valentine's. Black jacket,dress shirt and pants with a blood red tie and vest hidden underneath his jacket. Valentine met the eyes of his father and there was a shift in direction towards the Queen. Valentine removed himself from Sebastian while Sebastian was met with the stern gaze of Martin. Displeased with what he laid eyes on.<br/><br/>Valentine approached the Queen while the first two men were dragged out. Their plight left unheard by the wolf. A mistake he would not allow himself to let happen again. Valentine stood beside the throne of the Queen and leaned in to whisper into her ear while the flood of tributes began to meet the edges of the steps that lead up to the throne. "I apologize for the distraction,Queen Felicia. It is handled. And it won't happen again." Valentine did not wait to be told anything about the subject. It was an inconvenience. Whether or not it bothered Felicia was besides the point. It was embarrassing and the reasons that Sebastian's held for the distraction were juvenile.<br/><br/>Valentine stood at attention while Sebastian began to slink out of the throne room and back towards the quarters he was designated to. Martin watching the wolf take every step out of the throne room until the doors closed behind him before him and Edmond began to walk around back of the throne to not draw any more attention from the Queen when Donovan entered. The angered cries of the enemy left Valentine interested with just what caused such radical outcries to be directed towards the Queen. Moments passed and Donovan explain exactly who this man was and what traitorous acts the man had committed. The Griffins. A name that Martin had not heard of for a time. A clan of Nocturnals that were in power long before Valentine's time. While Valentine looked on to the scene in curiosity,Martin wore a stern look on his face all the way through. The good natured conversation that Martin and Edmond were having were stopped as it seems the both of them had the same reaction to the sudden outburst of a man claiming to serve a clan believed to be having one foot in the coffin. It was not long before the man was dragged out to be executed and silence was called for. It was obvious that the Queen was not as amused by this as the nobility seemed to be about an execution.<br/><br/>The room began to settle and soon the flood of Nobles were directed back out of the throne room. Silence filled the room and Edmond was quick to meet his love before she would think about taking any steps down from her throne. Martin leaving the man to tend to his wife only to meet with his son. Questions were being had by both him and Valentine as to what is going on with Sebastian and what would be done with him. This was new behavior and he was choosing moments that were leaving images that would not be easily forgotten when it came to the wolves of the Den.
