Sleif looked at Marks raised sword, before bringing back his attention to Pierce. "I have no quarrel with you, Sir Mark, I merely wish to return the prince to our kingdom. And as for you. " Sleif said this part to Pierce. "Do not forget, that it was I who first taught you the basics in handling a weapon. Do not think that your 'birth right' changes anything in your fighting skills. You know that, if you remember what I taught you!"
Looking at Pierce, he began to sense the rising energy coming from him, as well as Captain Mark not removing his weapon.
Letting out a sigh, Sleif said to all "But if both of yous wish to not back down. The I will have to be forced to act!" at that instant a powerful dark aura began to rise from Sleif, surrounding his entire body, and upon looking up, his eyes started to glow a much brighter red.
