Court Hearing —2

Queen Maeve couldn't tell which one was way worse, the fact that the scum of a monster referred to her as his mother or the way he implied she wasn't able to accept a little fun when that wasn't the case. She was so furious and disgusted with him. 

"Preposterous!" Queen Maeve interrupted, shooting up to her feet, unable to take it anymore, "Everyone on that table knows that was no prank, you evil scum! You made an attempt on my life!" 

Aldric sighed dramatically, "With all due respect, Queen Maeve, but you disrespect me." 

"What?" 

"I had you at the mercy of my powers and all my shadows did was place one or two kisses on your lovely cheeks when I could have easily snuffed the life out of you, don't you think saying I threatened you when there's not a hair on your head hurt is a blatant defamation and disrespect of my credibility as the realm's renowned villainous prince?"
