The queen stands tall, unfazed by his cold presence.
"A mother must answer the call of her distressed child."
She turns to the princess and retrieves the fae fox back into her embrace.
"Surely, as a caring and loving father, you understand such a need for rush to aid one's child when they are so cruelly harmed."
Fire, pure and hot, can be seen under her veil where her eyes would be.
A rumbling is heard above them. Lightening of purples and reds flashes within the dark clouds. Threatening to crash down as the mighty fae continues to speak.
"And your husbands ignored them. Treated my child as an animal and wanted to turn her into a pet."
The rest of the fae becomes agitated, growling in response to their queen mother words. But none of it is used towards the princess. For even Eclipse knows how much they all love and respect her, and how they would never harm one they have titled Friend of the Fae.
He has seen how they would visit her and play with her with their silly little harmless tricks. He recalls fond memories of how she used to chase them when she was his little girl in this very garden. How adorable and happy she was in those long ago days.
Eclipse sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose, “I assure you I know VERY well how it feels to hear your child suffer. And know more than you EVER will, your majesty.”
He tilts his head and folds his lower two hands behind his back while crossing the upper pair over his chest. “And rest assured I will discuss this with both my husbands. But you must also educate yourself dear children about MY empire’s side of the agreement.”
He inspects his talons, “it’s a two way street, dearest.”
