Shocked was hardly the word one would use to describe how Zamir was feeling right now. To be more precise, he was downright HORRIFIED.
Of all the innumerable embarrassing things he has ever been through in life.. including, but not limited to, his four-year-old self being dressed up in a maid outfit.. This by far takes the cake. Why, you ask?
Because he was a grown-up, dammit! And, when people are grown-ups, situations of this nature just SHOULD. NOT. HAPPEN.
Especially not to him. HIM! Zamir Rene Diyamente Oura Phoenix, future High Emperor of Linaeve, the Seafaring Country bordering south of Mirarenn. Only son of Lerato Massimo Gagan Phoenix the Fourth and the late Aletta Ziarre Phoenix née Adamas. For the record he's also the step-son of Eithne Myrtle Phoenix née Phyre and older half-brother of Jenna Vesta Phoenix.
Yet here it had transpired, brought about by this.. this BEAST in the form of a Prince. The worst part is.. This was the very same Prince who tried to kiss him ten years ago, one summer evening during Grayveth's Harvest Festival. Zamir doubted very much that the insufferable Shiriki remembered, nay, realized that the "new kid" he thought was female actually was not. In retrospect the Emperor could not deny that he did look very much like a girl back then, having kept his hair long in memory after his mother's passing. Needless to say, after that incident, he never again let it grow more than an inch past his shoulders.
Back to the matter at hand.. The blue-haired Emperor was seeing red. His pride and dignity had been insulted-- in front of a crowd, no less. To top it all off, his ear had been NIBBLED. NIBBLED!
He could just kill a man.
And, as if on cue, Samuel and an unfamiliar female walked right through the door. Appearances be damned at this point. Zamir was raging and he needed to take it out on someone he knew could take it. Even though it was the Grayveth Prince's fault.
"Kakugoshiiya!" he yelled in his kingdom's ancient native tongue, stretching his right arm straight out and running full-speed at the unsuspecting Duke Winters. It was something like a warning none but his two childhood friends would know the meaning of since he used it on them a lot. The only one who could stop him strength-wise right now was probably Jasper, but, as he was nowhere around.. Well.
Sorry Sammy.
