The chamberlain tilted his head slightly, studying 'Dark Star' with renewed focus. Although Jacob's words slightly deterred him, he was more annoyed by his disrespectful demeanor.
After all, both of them, the official Dark Dukes, while he was the chamberlain of the Noxvalis Castle, have someone who has the Dark Prince's ear, so a Dark Duke like Dark Star should be more respectful to him.
He coldly scoffed, "Bold words. Yet many bold men have spoken of this matter, and few lived to tell more. Information alone does not open these gates, Dark Duke."
Jacob's gaze sharpened, obsidian-like, his voice lowering to a blade's whisper as his patience running thin, "I speak not of rumors. I speak of proof. Proof that only His Highness will judge. And if you dare obstruct me…then you will shoulder the weight of denying the Prince what is rightfully his."
At this moment, for a fleeting moment, there seemed to be a faint white flare in Dark Star's eyes.
