"In order of asked." There is cold venom in his words almost as much venom one would find a Basilisk. "He's offering me something no one else can, I won't tell you what for the sake of those involved as for why I hate<span style="font-style: italic">royals</span>, it was your father who personally saw that mine was put to death when he refused to join the army when was drafted." Hayes eyes almost seem watery when he says this but no tears shed from them. "Your father was scum." Meredith is clearly appalled by this revaluation she could remember the name now. His father had led men agains the crown, burning draft papers in the streets and standing arm in arm blocking them from the Warrens so they couldn't deliver more draft papers.<br/><br/>Hayes however almost leaps out of his seat hand going for his dagger but Alucard uses his shadow magic to prevent it. "Easy Hayes, she has no idea what it's like to lose a father." Hayes glances at Alucard, the man was right he was able to talk Hayes down because of the fact that he'd also lost his father. Though to the war and not because of the war. "Hmpf." Is all that Meredith responds with she clearly doesn't care about Hayes' feelings nor' the fact that she'd nearly died if not for Alucard stepping in.
