((I must give my sincerest apologies to all for my late reply. My personal life has been kicking me in the rear lately and was unable to form a teply. Please forgive me!))
Christopher balled his hands into fists, shaking from the building anger. He stalked over to the younger in a few strides. Grasping a fistful of the boy's collar, he pushed him into the nearby wall. He used his strength to lift the other a bit higher above the ground.
"Watch your words, boy!" He hissed. It took every ounce of control not to crush the brat into dust. It was one thing to spy, but to insult one's rank in power. Why he wasn't anything more than a farmer's son! "No one relies on me other than myself and my kingdom. You have no room to talk considering it is your king fighting and not you with blood on your hands." Chris's grip tightened and he put more force in his hold. His lips drawn back in a scowl. "You have ten seconds to tell me your business, Diamond scum, or I will run my swords in you through and through!"

Benjamin had been surveying the battle scene from the window of the war room. His mindracing from old battle strategies when a messenger scurried towards him, breath uneven from running. In his hand was a folded paper. "W-word from the Heart Kingdom! They withdraw from the war. They request a meeting with all the kingdoms at once!" Ben's eyes widened as he snatched the paper and read the words hungrily.
He had to get to Chris at once! The elder man requested his horse and rode off to the battle grounds. Blood ripening the air around. "I request General Christopher's presence! It is a matter of great urgency!" He shouted at the Spade soldiers, or for anyone with an open ear.
