Angry Dray, Showing His Powers

"My mother said red eyes are the eyes of scary monsters. Now that I see your eyes, I guess it's true. Your eyes are red like blood."

"I am not a monster," Drayce replied as he was about to turn around in the direction of Lady Saira. Since his brother was hungry, he thought of sharing the food that his nanny baked with Prince Keiren. Lady Saira made the best berry pies and he was sure his brother would like them too.

The two other boys sneered at him.

"You don't look like an Ivanov. Doesn't that make you a freak? A monster?"

"Right! Why are your eyes and hair so different if you are not a monster?"

One kid laughed. "Are you getting angry? Are you going to hurt us?"

"Will you really hurt us, you monster?" They laughed at him. 

One of the boys was a distant relative of the First Concubine and he made an interesting face. "I even heard his mother was a commoner who bewitched the King."
