Never he was slapped before and especially by woman, how low has he sunk in his hatred and vengeance that he would be disrespectful towards a woman. Remembered that he has never hated the vampires as a race but their backstabbing government was to blame, and she was really able to handle herself, he expected that she would call the guards or maybe deliver a strong attack herself but she didn't, maybe because she really didn't mean him harm, but to demand the proper respect she earned as a princess. Mentioned that she never thought of them as savages like her family surprised him a bit, yet he didn't quite believe that part because his hatred had consumed much of his former self. He placed his hand on his slapped side as he was hammered back to his senses.
She had a point about not lying to a caged man. He smirked when she mentioned the injury of her father, maybe that was something he could feel proud about it was his personal trophy against him. Wolfric decided to be civil from now on, since she was able to reawaken something he thought was long dead, was it a sign for him to rid his suicidal thoughts? Nevertheless, he didn't dwell on that thought much, he took a deep breath and calmed down "I was never slapped by a woman before. I'm compelled to apologize to you princess" He bowed to her placing his right arm on his chest before he rose up to continue "Well then princess, here I am the once alpha king of the werewolf race, Wolfric. And may I tell you, I can smell your deference of the rest of the vampires I met, for what its worth consider it a compliment of an ashamed king" His wounds got the better of him, forcing him to sit down and coughed some more "I believe you assumed to see a proud king, yet you see this ghost. I admit my reality, but I also know that one day I will break this cage. I only hope to change my legacy and restore my people's kingdom before death claims me. I know this is far fetched, yet this hope keeps me alive and far from suicidal thoughts... What do you think now princess? Does this seem like the wolf you imagined?" Wolfric shook his head shocked by the fact of sharing his thoughts with a vampire, the daughter of the vampire king, his nemesis. Wolfric thought maybe it was a charm spell by her, looking at her he confirmed that it wasn't, but why would he share it with her? His most reasonable answer was because he never had a visitor before, not he would ever so this would be his only chance...
