Kate chuckled to herself as he boldly donned his cape. As soon as he left the throne room Artimus faced his son and raised a hand to slap him. Kate grabbed the Captain's wrist. He yanked it from Kate's hand. Artimus's eyes narrowed as he hurried to leave. He was stopped as Lyons stepped in front of him. "Where are you going in such a hurry. Have I foiled your plans by taking your son into my house? Have you not seen how Kate looks as she gazes upon your son. I have watched as you hatred grows as Alistor grew in manhood. The Lad has done nothing wrong; you can't blame the boy for the death of you wife. Artimus, please return to the banquet, for Godsakes man you abandon your son on the greatest night of his life. I will not let you leave and disgrace this house."<br/><br/>Kate held onto Alistor's waist as she spoke, noticed the cut from the blade, "You best let Papa intervene. You will only make things worse. I like how you defied Papa donning your cape." You did splendid. You're cut, why? I thought ...oh is this another means of initiation? What else he done?"
