While Emil lead me through the Labyrinth of halls, he babbled on about how things go in this Kingdom. I was surprised when he told me that half of the castle staff were humans and regularly donated blood to vampires. Emil told me that I wasn't going to have to donate anything to anybody if I didn't want to, which was reassuring.
It was a few hours until Emil told me that all the guest have arrived and it was time to start the party. I was a little nervous, mostly because apparently I can't tell the difference between a human and a vampire and I know that there will be a lot of both in the same room.
Emil had to lead me by the hand to the ballroom, and I was less than willing to enter. After a few words from the silver haired vampire that seemed to know exactly what to do to calm me down, I nervously entered the ball room and stood off to the side with Emil. He didn't seem much of a party person either.
People chatted for a few moments, some communicating like they haven't seen each other in a long time. I was about to ask Emil if the party already started when a large bell rang through the room and everyone was silent.
Lukas was standing at the front of the room, his usual serious look on his face. "Announcing the arrival of Prince Ludwig Beilschmidt of the Southern Kingdom and our Queen (Full Name)."
A tall, well-built man with slicked back blonde hair and blue eyes stood over the rest of the room, a thick intimidating aura that said that he didn't tolerate nonsense. I instantly recognized him to be the younger brother of the famous Gilbert Beilshmidt that ruled over all of the southern regions of the continent, highly known for his hatred of the Eastern King. My king.
Though Ludwig seemed to be the center of attention, everyone's eyes drew to the pale woman standing next him. Everyone has told me of how their queen was beautiful, but the word perfect was an understatement. Your (hair color) hair shined in the light, and even though I couldn't see a single trace of makeup painted on your face your skin had a healthy glow to it.
"Good evening my dearest subjects, friends, and family!" Your light and almost sing-song voice echoed off the walls. "Today I have gathered you all here today to welcome my dearest friend Ludwig from his long journey here with his assistant Feliciano. I have promised King Gilbert that I would have the two safely in my castle for a few weeks and show them the hospitality of our kingdom once again! Let's welcome our brother with a bang!"
The room cheered, smiling without a care in the world. Music soon started and people started to move to the dance floor. "Are you sure I can't just go back to my room now?" I asked Emil. He shook his head, leading me through the crowd to the other side of the room. I panicked when I realized he was dragging me to the two people I wanted to avoid.
"Your Majesty, I would like you to meet our new guest Matthew who would be living in the castle for a few months to learn about our culture." Emil pushed me forward, forcing me to meet your eyes.
You smiled brightly, eyes twinkling. "Nice to you Matthew! You probably already know who I am so I'll just skip the introductions. How are you liking my home so far?" I felt like I was staring into the sun and couldn't look away. "I love it here." I heard myself say.
"Great! I will personally be teaching you our history while my advisers take over my work. To be honest you coming here is a blessing! I don't think I could see on more piece of paper before tearing down my castle in a rage." Your words didn't mach your tone or your smile, but that didn't really matter because in everyone else's eyes you were aloud to do and say whatever you want with that face of yours.
"Your Majesty, I think your overwhelming him. You need to turn your aura down a bit." Emil suggested. "Sorry!" You yelped. After a few seconds I slowly started to feel a weight I didn't even know that was there off my shoulders. The air was suddenly not as thick and your skin lost a tiny bit of it's glow. Only a tiny bit though.
"I'm sorry if I overwhelmed you, I'm not used to being around a human not already used to my power." I was confused at first before Emil whispered to me. "Remember that Her Majesty is the oldest and most powerful vampire living. I myself am nearly a thousand years old, but she's at least two hundred years older." What? That can't be true, you looked my age.
I was about to say something but I caught the glare of the blond prince standing silently next to you. He looked like he was about to great me when a smaller, childish looking man with an odd curl sticking out of his head (not much different than mine) skipped up towards our group. "(First Name)! I wanna go dance!" He said excitedly, tugging at your arm. You grinned. "Okay, Feliciano. Sorry to leave you guys but I have to go show those people how to really dance!" And just like that you were off, arm and arm with the bubbly man.
Ludwig looked off at the pair, eyeing them for a second before turning back to Emil and me. "I hope you are not much of a dancer, because I much razher sit and talk with you and Emil."
"Oh, yeah, I didn't really plan on dancing anyway." I smiled politely at the tall intimidating man and went off to find a quiet place to sit down with him and my new friend.
UGH, I'm soooo sorry I haven't uploaded in a while. Homework XP
