At the palace dining table:
every where was so quite that you could hear a pin drop. No body could believe what they had just seen. moreover every thing happened so fast that they were not able to react.
HOW DARE HIM!!!
Delaney screamed like a psychiatric patient. I will kill him she continued shouting.
Silent!! the king growled,
everybody return to duty he shouted at the palace workers. who scrambled to get back to their duty.
Gabriel has always been a disgrace to this family. he started. in fact giving birth to a waste like him has always been my greatest undoing. he continued in a very calm note. but judging from the violent aura around him and the rising temperature in the dining hall every body knew that it was the calm before a storm.
He has made me lose face in social gatherings among the kings, where i am teased ceaselessly by the other king for giving birth to a waste. now today he has once again disgraced me in front of all the palace workers, it seems like i have been going to soft on him. as he continued he's voice continued rising steadily.
Jude!! he called his right hand man.
yes your majesty Jude answered while knelling on one knee.
bring the boy out in the city central square, and give him hundred lashes of the fire copper weep.
every ones face changed at the mention of the fire copper weep. Delaney and Gabriel's other step siblings were obviously delighted as they smiled triumphantly. while Daisy and Gabriel's mothers face turned ashen.
Orion, are you crazy? Gabriel's mother blue her top. if you want to kill the boy you should go ahead and do it, no one is going to stop you anyway. why go to the length of tearing his body to pieces and in the city square at that.
It has to be understood that the fire copper weep is a magical artifact. and even the lowest level one's are at least second order while the high level ones are up to fifth order. and Gabriel is not even a cultivator, not to talk of hundred he will die after ten weeps that is if he can last that long.
I have made my decision. king Orion said before striding out from the dining room.
meanwhile in Gabriel's room:
Daisy and and Samuel stood, worry plastered on their faces.
what are you all so worked up about Gabriel asked, it not like you are gonna be the person receiving the punishment. he said, busy on his interface completely carefree like he was not the person to receive the punishment. his siblings turned to look at his handsome face that was devoid of any emotion, and they could not help but admire his mental fortitude.
KNOCK! KNOCK!! KNOCK!!!
a knock was heard at the door.
Gabriel could not deny that his heart skipped a bit when he heard the knock, he did not like what he was feeling now. he was feeling an emotion that he thought he has since left behind. he was feeling FEAR. but he quickly composed him self.
scram out of that room or i break in to bring you out, came a thundering voice from outside the door.
Gabriel calmly walked out of the room with the grace of a king, the guards who came to get him were surprised, the same as the palace workers that came to watch the drama that would enfold. but to their surprise and disappointment Gabriel had walked out of his room on his own accord. moreover there was not even an atom of fear in his face or temperament. instead he was walking with the majesty of seven kings the boldness of ten soldiers. every body was amazed. were was the cowardly waste that they all knew
