The Sunspire Rise With Me

Vivaan listened to each charge with a cold grimace upon his facade.

"Castration..." This word struck the hardest.

And then, "... potentially, death.". He wasn't fond of that one. Potentially? No. There would be death. Death for any and all who dared to betray their Queen. The ones who dared to betray the Cruor name.

Vex nudged his shoulder, returning his attention from lost thoughts.

"You will be well-rewarded for your loyalty."

Hm. S'pose that was something to look forward to. 

I do not serve for favor, but out of my respect for you. You gave reason for my loyalty, hence, I gave it. A partial lie, but truthful enough to get by. 

There was something Vivaan wanted. More-like, some things... but, he would start with one thing at a time.
