Kadelas was furious. He wasn't angry because a young man had given his wife a flower and said she was the fairest elf of them all. No, he was angry because this flower had come from the son of a bitch who knocked up his only daughter.
This wretch had clearly come here with the sole purpose of provoking Kadelas.
He was using the Valtheron Empire's traditions as well as the eyes of the public to put Kadelas in a political chokehold.
What made this so vicious was the fact that Kadelas was fully aware he was being mocked and incited, but he was also put in two positions.
Swallow his emotions and act the part of a ruler, or commit a public and political blunder.
Either way, it was a loss for Kadelas.
What made this truly hateful was the fact that the reason Kadelas stopped wasn't because of nonsensical traditions or the public eye. He didn't care about those.
The real reason he stopped was because Damon had grasped at his one weakness.
