There was a pause in Martin's ability to speak. He was not expecting the outburst from Valentine as much as he was expecting him to step up and offer a form of security for the treaty. This position was meant to be filled by Sebastian. That was the sole reason he had brought him in the room. The white wolf has been seeking to climb in the ranks of his circle and this was going to be his way in. Loyal service. As all wolves should do. On his behalf or on the behalf of royalty like the Queen. Now it was his blood that would be far away from home. His only blood. This formed a look of displeasure on the face of the Alpha quickly wiped away by a need to look like he had planned this out from the start. This would make for a more stable union. However should the vampires be anything but genuine. That was his heir at risk. Something no father or mother would want. This only meant that he would need to send his most capable wolves to his aid.<br/><br/>"Yes. My son will stay with you as a gesture of good faith." Before any continuing any further was said the door opened and there was a desire for attention that seemed to roll through. As Donovan made his appearance there was a look shared between the wolves before they all looked to the royalty to hear what introduction the Queen had in store for her eldest. While the Queen bore very obvious love for the son. There was a look of disappointment that could be seen on Edmond's face and on Victors in turn. When the talk of Donovan doing the same and heading to the Den in turn to protect the interest of the Vampires as Valentine would do for the Wolves there was a look of displeasure on the face of Valentine. It was not the fact that he was late that bothered the wolf. it was the fact that he cared so little for it. While Martin paid no attention to it was Valentine who seemed the most annoyed by it.<br/><br/>When the talk of the Alexandrians and their sudden brashness in their latest fanatical cult, Valentine pushed himself into the conversation and said "I will take on that duty the moment me and the wolves are dispatched. I will leave all information we have collected on them in your new quarters in the Den,Donovan. I just hope you are not late to read them." A light jab at the vampire showing that while the Queen would forget about his lateness. Valentine would not.<br/><br/>Martin stepped in and said "I will need a week after we have the celebration of the treaty to have my son and his men ready to be sent here. That gives us this week and the next to really get that settled. I am sure me and King Edmond could get that settled and work out ways to get information sent across borders without any issues. As has been said. The sudden boldness of the people of Alexandria is unsettling. And we will make sure to be that buffer between you and them. While they seem to getting ready for the war against vampires. They are not ready for our kind."<br/><br/>The was left to have the final word. Reassuring what needed to be when it came to the end of the deal involving the Den. And when the talk of questions was raised, Martin shook his head knowing that he had everything he needed. "No. We will get settled and get ready for our dinner."
