"Your threats will lead you to the same end as your Bestenese friend!" said the cardinal. "It is to our utmost disappointment that the ArchBishop didn't let us destroy you when we first suspected you!"
Boyce shook his head in defiance.
"My uncle Manguino has never been very intelligent, and you can cease that elitist way of talking because it doesn't become you!"
There was silence for a moment while they exchanged hate-filled glares.
Boyce took a deep breath and called Manguino out to fight.
"Manguino!" he called then waited. "Uncle! — Come and we will settle this war's outcome between ourselves!"
There was no answer and Boyce looked at Orren, laughing menacingly at him.
"He will not answer you!" Orren told Boyce. "He will not fight either, and why should he? He has hundreds of us to fight you for him!"
"Then let me fight each of you until only he remains!" Boyce said provokingly.
Orren shook his head at Boyce and tisked at him.
