Titania hovered above the crater like an empress on her throne, her arms crossed, her expression still laden with wounded pride.
"How dare you..." she began, her tone dripping with disbelief. "How dare you mock my royalty, trample on my sacred domain, disrespect the ancient magical order... and on top of that, challenge me without batting an eyelid?!"
Vergil cracked his neck once more, still wearing a cynical smirk on his lips.
"That's easy: because it's fun."
Titania clenched her fists. Her red aura glowed more intensely, and the tiny sparks around her began to swirl like a storm of angry fireflies.
"You... you really are insolent! What kind of mortal would even think of acting like this in front of the Fairy Queen?!"
She approached in a swift flight, stopping a few inches from Vergil's nose. Her eyes glowed like enchanted embers.
"What is your name, insolent creature?"
Vergil smiled. It was as if he had been waiting for that very question.
