' he almost laughed at her feral display , it seemed caraxes had stiff competition in his wife when it came to displaying ones ferocious side " you are like a rabid dog in -- heat , bark . it might entertain me . " amusement lingering in his words , yet such did not reach his eyes . as his hands lowered , he saw , was that surprise or shock ? ' one could hardly fathom .
' yet as she spoke he sighed heavily , a young hatchling given in marriage before he barely figured out how to swarm down from his own nest . was it the -- marriage in general he detested ? no , it was the knowledge that he had no choice in the matter , and the fact they both acted like raging cunts throughout those ' days that should have been honeymoon bliss , instead it was insults after insults , and he would never deny that it was mostly done in his behalf , he was -- always the one to rile the other - but that was how he came to know someone , how could you truly tell a persons true self without seeing their anger ? their disgust ? ' the words they wished to say but had no voice to do so , oh but his lady wife had a voice , one she used quite often " that is a shame , you would have only got burnt . "
' a brief roll of his eyes , an irritated sigh , he turned away from her . words he knew , words he often heard whispered about himself , how could words such as hers -- hurt him or even sway him when he owned them ? he knew what he was " i am the very bane of everyones existence , yet you will not see me gone for quite some ' time , i suggest you all get used to it . " going over to the table , picking up the pitcher and goblet , pouring the rich red liquid into the goblet before bringing it to his -- mouth , tasting the bittersweet droplets that would wash away whatever words she threw at him, bringing it away he set the pitcher down .
' whatever songs she thought would be sung about her brave act of defiance , he would pay tenfold for insults to be said instead of praise . he was no mere dog , no -- hound , he was a dragon , he did not bite he breathed fired upon those who opposed him and turned their miserable lives into ashes before their eyes . raising his ' brow , he turned to her , raising his cup towards her , he had no doubt about her strength , for who else would dare come against him in such a way ? no other " -- then i will congratulate you , wife . that through your sorrow filled marriage with me , you have found something all these fucking cunts have been lacking , a ' pair of balls . yours weigh heavy and drop lower than every cunt that sit upon your council . " yet his smile almost faltered , that amused grin almost dropped at -- those words , love . such a fickle emotion " love makes you weak , it makes even the strongest of minds fall under a spell and leaves you open from every angle , ' every position . we were not made for love , you and i . " love was a poison, sent to cripple and to bind , to put invisible chains around ones neck - he had no room for - love .
' and for a moment , he almost felt guilt . after all , he did come into her chambers and practically make her feel so uncomfortable that she had to leave , ' -- a shame really for as soon as that feeling even touched upon his core , it was gone " yes i like the chamber , but fear not . i will not take it . " setting down the ' goblet , he stood straightening his tunic " before it slips my mind , and before i leave , i will be joining the council meeting tomorrow , after all , i am your husband . - it will give my time in exile some...entertainment .
