There was a pause that came with her mentioning her like for the way the wolf "did things". Valentine did not bother digging into it as the princess quickly continued onto the next subject at hand. It was annoying in a sense with how much politics seemed to be pushing itself into the lives of everyone linked to the royalty in Nuverus. With how directly Valentine would be linked to Ellanore as much as her family, him being face to face with danger was becoming a more tangible reality. Enemies were gaining names and faces and with that reality,came the one that stressed the need for him and his wolves protecting the LaCroix from an enemy that had the advantage of familiarity.<br/><br/>"I will insist watching over you personally,Ellanore." There was a pause that came with that comment. Valentine raised the cigarette to his lips before blowing the smoke out and off to the side. "Many of my wolves along with your own protection will be set on keeping your mother alive. You are the future. And I would make sure the future of the LaCroix and the future of our alliance continue to stay alive. Potential threat of rebellion or not."
