She sighed at his words.  Ut wouldn't matter eitger way.  She was resilient she knew...but others sge could never count on.  She turned her head from the man.  She couldn't look at him.  Her disgust towards him was growing every moment.  The gaurds in the room offered her no reprieve either as she quickly downed the red flruid.  It tasted just as it appeared.  She drank it neatly none spilling as she finished the horrid fluid.  She hacked twice as she gagged on the taste of the liqiid.  She retched as she looked at him and smirked.  Her pride would never falyer in her eyes.  "You surprise me oh king of humans.  Using potions and liquids and words of betrayal.  At least an orc king perhaps would have simply courted me with prowess instead of acting with the strength of others."<br/><br/>Tact was gone.  She had no army to battle this king with.  The troops hadn't broken rather General Fontaines forces had failed the western defense against the orcs.  This king had been crafty in avoiding her tactics by engaging others.  The final defense had lacked Chrystalli altogether.  She gagged twice the taste of the fluid still assaulting her mouth as she slowly roae to stand tall once again.  She was breathing heavier from all the gagging.  She surmised to herself that she would refuse to break.  If hewanted to make her that waym...it would be by force.  "What bears so special that you need...me anyway oh king.  Human women not enouhh to bear your princes and children that you must fall bastards upon me?  Surely a thousand human women would swoon to bear your seed."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
