My wolf became alert, her head rising slowly to growl at our enemy. That's what Duncan always did.
Manipulation!
I couldn't see his face clearly because of the veil. It was one sort of tradition to keep the face hidden during the dance. King Vincenzo's emotionless voice was heard from a distance, growling like a hungry beast,
" I am not a coward, King Duncan!! I take my prize after winning face-to-face. I am not a coward to take his kingdom just because he isn't initiating a fight but if he is plotting something against me, the consequences would be dire."
I felt my blood, turning cold after his words. He sounded cruel and righteous at the same time. It would be hard to deal with a proud man. Duncan laughed away nervously, his face full of happiness. I couldn't understand what his benefits would be if King Vincenzo took the territory of King Nicolas.
