"Oh, so I am to appreciate you for being a benevolent dictator? A kind warden? I am your prisoner, not your friend, and a gilded cage remains a cage. I cannot so much as eat without your permission, and you ask me to be appreciative?"
It's absolutely absurd, sounds foolish even to his own ears, now that he's said it out loud, and he really has to wonder just how long this creature has been locked away to not see that, as plain as day. To be so distanced from reality as to expect a prisoner to be grateful for the sweetness of the bars. Sure, it could be worse, but Castiel's freedom is forfeit, he is locked away in a filthy castle far from everything he has ever known, by a monster that imprisoned and mistreated his father.
Maybe he should be afraid. And he had been, a mere day ago, when Dean had thrown him into the wall and pinned him by the throat - but Castiel has always been a defiant thing, and if this beast wanted him dead, he would have killed him. Perhaps he shouldn't tempt fate, shouldn't rile him to murder, but he has far too much pride, far too much independence to stand it.
"This has absolutely nothing to do with my nobility, and do not presume to know anything about me. You've made of me a pet, but you cannot force me to love the leash."
