Nicholai walked into the shared bedroom. "She is not the one to punish. I am. I am the king of feraltalon. I did not like your dismissal of the ancient rules, Aliq."

"Those rules are outdated father. You know..." Aliq was cut off by King Nicholai.

"Those rules are enforced by the ancient curse placed upon Feraltalon!"
