Banished blood.

Gabriel walk to the border of his home land, upon reaching to it, he was stopped. Stellan who was a loyal servant to the crown halted him, to which Voltaire walked up. "I figure you would use this route to come home." looking at Gabriel, who gave a odd look "Oh a welcome home party huh?" Voltaire just stared at Gabriel wordless. Gabriel then look to stellan who adverted his eyes from him and moved away, back to the horses. Gabriel gave an odd look again "Ok?" he then looks to Voltaire"I was just going to say hello to you." Voltaire gave a weak smile "You mean goodbye." he corrected. Gabriel stared confused at Voltaire "Goodbye? What are you going to banish me?You told me to party...how can you punish me for that?" Voltaire pressed his finger tips together "I know. However I did not think you'd break the cardinal rule." Gabriel glared at him, he shook his head "Yeah Star told me, however I don't remember any of that.I don't just go exposing my habits to the world and I surely do not go and kill families." Voltaire shook his head.

"Don't make this any harder Gabriel. I have clans in an uproar over what you done, they demand justice. I must give it for them, for if I can not get you or Nine to listen to me, then who would? " Gabriel shook his head and says "My father..." Voltaire would interrupt him "Your father is dead!" Gabriel stares at Voltaire in silence for a while, as if staring him down do anything. He even went as far as to tower over him, even though this had never worked on Voltaire before. Height never bothered him, Gabriel would yell "After everything I have done for you, this is the thanks? You can't just hear me out? I told you I don't remember doing it!" Voltaire face never wavered, his posture never changed.He was like a stone statue, watching Gabriel closely "Everything you've done? You helped me one time Gabriel, ONE TIME!" he repeated to get it through his head. Gabriel shook his head " No twice!" Voltaire snort and corrected "Oh yes, you must be referring to when we thought Nine was dead. When I had given up hope." Gabriel nods "Yes, I gave you hope.I was there, I helped you."

Voltaire raised a brow "No. You didn't do it for me, you wanted me back up and running on my feet to find Nine. You never once ask me, if the thought of your brother death weighed on me. You never once ask if I was ok, you just kept nagging find my brother, I know he is not dead, find him. You didn't actually care of my health or well being, only Nine. I get it, he is your flesh and blood, why care for the chimera, who is only just a tool for you." Gabriel step back baffled by what he heard "I have never once claim you as a tool, where the hell is this coming from?"

Voltaire still remain calm collected and unmoved "I told you, things were changing. No more freebies, you want out of this oh sure I can make it go away. However the fact is, several witness your little party with your buddy nikias and so I must cast you out.You want this to vanish, you would owe me." Gabriel snarled "I refuse to owe you anything.You were family to me!" Voltaire stared at him " Please, don't kid yourself. I was never family to you. Its time you realize the reality of this, your dad is dead. You are no longer a prince, you can not disobey the rules. ESPECIALLY the cardinal rule.For this I have ruled."

Gabriel shook his head "So this was what you really wanted all along, the power. Well mighty king, you have spoken. You're dead to me, I should have never helped you. I should have fix your mind to respect me." Voltaire still like a statue spoke cold and calmly "You should have, but you didn't and now you are banished. Leave my borders before I have you taken to the cells where you can rot." Gabriel blinked and just was at a loss. "Oh and..." Voltaire added "You are not allowed to contact ANY vampire. You are excommunicated from your race entirely." He then turn abruptly and move to walk back to his horse. Gabriel stood there, watching him, clenching his fist shouting "I DON'T NEED YOU, I DON'T NEED ANY OF YOU!" turn to march off, steaming with rage now.

Voltaire got back to his horse, where Stellan had already mounted. Voltaire mounted his horse and would start to ride back to the castle. Stellan would watch Voltaire, but wouldn't say nothing to him, as it was not his place. Voltaire glance at him and then spoke "What?" Stellan blink and look away. "It's not my place sir." Voltaire rolled his eyes "Stellan if this relationship going to work, I need you to speak your mind. A king is only as good as his adviser, now speak." Stellan blink again and look to Voltaire "Right well...you sure were hard on the prince..I mean former prince sir." Voltaire let out a sigh and his shoulders finally fell, he look down "It killed me Stellan." Who looked at him with a frown "Sir?" Voltaire look to Stellan "Gabriel the only family I have, he's the only being that has ever treated me like family, like a brother. I never had to worry about being me, he always accepted it.Sure it be easier to hear him out and fix it cause I know its not his fault. However he did fall to such things and so I must punish him." Stellan look away "For what it is worth sir, I think you are ruling fine. A king has to make the tough choices. Though it pained me too sir, to see the former prince hurt." Voltaire wiped a tear away "Yeah. He's never going to forgive me this time, which is why I want to know more about the nikias. I want to destroy him, slowly. I will beat him." he signal the horse to go faster now, Stellan watched him before catching up "Yes sir.Also I bring more bad news." Voltaire responded "I'm just going to assume anytime you have news its bad, but care on." As he inform Voltaire of his new information to their way back to the castle.
