Cardinal Ansel's Denouement (2)

Cardinal Ansel came to a stop near the group. The benevolent facade that he always wore when facing the common people fell away, only to be replaced by a cold hard stare that expressed all of his hatred and vexation.

He opened his arms wide in a small 'here I am' gesture. "You went through all that trouble just to get to me. What is it that you want from me?"

The two that he knew to be Prince Remington and Prince Demian stepped forward. Prince Demian had unsheathed his sword and stood in front of the young omega as if to protect him from Cardinal Ansel.

"What is it you think we want from you?" Prince Remington asked, his tone of voice was flippant though the stance he took looked as if he were openly challenging the Cardinal.
