I sighed as I left the room heading to the gates from what the shadows said she would be here soon. "Let's get this over with." I sighed as I walked into the greeting hall. I placed my hand on the helt of my sword and nodded to Maxwell. "Teacher."
"My Lady." He nods.
"She's here." Father said as his eyes glowed black.
The door opened and Lyca held the door open as the older Vampire female her hair was grey and her eyes were blood red and she glared at us. Protocol states she was to greet our king first so let's see how long we will be here.
The sour look on her face that appeared a few moments later said she was not happy as her voice dripped with poison. "King Logan."
"Queen Noctis." Logan nodded to her. "You know my head advisor Lord Arcaria, My Mate-to- be Lady Diana Arcaria, and of course you know Teacher."
"Renee." Teacher huffed.
The look of hate she shot him made me want to laugh. "Maxwell." She spat.
"Let us take this to the meeting room." I spoke up after a moment of silence.
"Be silent, turned." She spat at me.
A hiss came out of everyone in this area making her eyes widen and look around. "My name is Diana Arcaria. My title is First Lady of the Northern clan and leader of the Lady Knights. You will address me as Lady Arcaria."
"Or you can leave." Logan tells her. "I will not have you disrespecting my Mate-to-be within my own home."
"King Logan, she is a turned vampire. Why would you sully your blood line in such a way?" She draws and Uncle pulled himself from her shadow.
"I know you are not speaking of my niece and heir that way." He said. She stiffened.
"You claim her as your heir?" She all but spat at him.
"If you remember right you killed my mate in a tournament so yes unless I can find someone to turn and claim as my child like my brother my niece is my heir and her child will take my throne since Matthew has the title of heir to the north." He tells her. "So watch your mouth you racist bitch."
"Will you be joining us in this meeting?" She asked him.
"We don't even know what this meeting is so why don't you tell us Queeny then we will decide from there." He said. She glared at him before she spoke.
"I have heard there are outside delegates here." She said as the venom came back to her voice.
"Indeed there are." Logan said.
Her mouth turned into a snarl. "How disgusting."
"Please watch your mouth about our guest and my Future family." Logan growled at her.
"I will speak how I see fit young man."
"Yea I don't think so." I stepped up to her.
"I was not talking to you, Turned."
"You're talking about myself and our guests which includes my Mother and younger Brother. I will not have you disrespecting the Northern clan in this way." I spat at her. "You will remember that you are not an elder clan and you will respect this clan as your elder clan!" I spoke with a steel tone. "While I am sure King Cornver was the one who told you about them. You were never invited here. And since you have a blackmark on your record with our clan you will need to watch yourself because there's not a chance in hell we will not press this time so. Unless you want a clan incident brought forth on you and your clan when the law states that if anyone from the outside comes here in peace we treat it as like. I am sure My King and My Uncle would love to have this conversation with the rest of the clans and if the mention of the attempted kidnapping comes, how many do you think will stand with you?"
"You turned little bitch!" She sharked at me and I grabbed her hand when she went to hit me as the shadows moved around the room and lighting started to ark off my body.
"What part of watching your tongue has not been clear?" I asked her. "I am the future queen of this clan. The Lady of Arcaria until Regulus and my Father mate. I am not some weakling that you can push over Queen Noctis; you shall not speak to me in any way other than with respect!"
"Especially in her own home." Everyone in the room said
"You did not send a notice to our king directly, you did not go through any of the channels you are supposed to for a royal visit. Do you know what that means?" Father asked her.
Her eyes narrowed as she glared at us. "What does that mean?" She asked with a hiss as she stepped back as Maxwell steps up beside me.
"It means that you are an uninvited guest and this is not a warm welcome which would make you a guest. You are here bringing a hostel attitude and environment. Let us move to the meeting hall or I will simply tell you to leave my lands." Logan snarled at her.
"King Logan!" She snarled at him.
"That is King North to you!" He spat at her.
I was taken back never has he taken his given name from the royals. The look on her face made me want to shiver as she looked at us with hate. "Very well King North." She spat at him.
"Follow." He spat at her as he took my arm and linked it to his. We walked to the meeting room. I could feel his anger dripping through the developing bond. I flicked my free hand and the shadows pushed the doors open.
"I see the little bitch has gained the power of the Torrent king line." She spat.
The look on every guard and knight in the room went to one of pure rage. "What part of respecting my Niece has yet to sink in?"
"I am about one word to call a duel of Honor Queen Noctis." Father snarled. "If you do not slanding my child it will be me who will fight in the duel." He spat at her. "Now take your seat!"
Again that look of desist was given as she sat at the other end of the table as Logan pulled out my chair for me. I could not help but smile at the triple crest on the chair once we were all seated. Logan looked at her. "What do you want? Besides spuing your own repugnant ideals?"
"I am here because you are going to destroy our way of life!"
"I do not know your meaning and honestly I don't want to know!" Logan growled. "We are the masters of our lands and clans having their own way of ruling no one can take that from us without a fight."
"They will try to take over our culture, I bet you!" She spat.
"While they do not know our ways does not mean they can not learn it!" Father disagrees. "Just like we need to learn their ways so we do not insult them."
"Your… child said her mother was among them is it not possible she lead them here?" She spat at us.
"Okay I know what I said but I have no memory of my life before my Father found me on this side of the river." I spat at her. "How do we know she is my mother is a mark that is passed through the bloodline. And If I would have led them here I would have done so over 200 years ago when my Father found me bloodied and injured!" I spat at her.
"She was blind when I found her Queen Noctus." Father said. "I still don't know how she got here."
"I half wonder if I used my lighting to get here." I said with a sigh.
"That is possible." He agreed with me.
"I did not come here to hear…"
"Tone!" Logan snarled at her. "You will respect every member of my clan while on our lands."
The sour look was back and I sighed. "Look I understand that you for some damn reason dislike turned vampires but that does not mean you have a right to be rude. Can we please have a civil conversation where you are not glaring at me every minute?" I looked at her and she glared at me again.
"Why did you bring those beasts here?" She snarled at me.
"Oh I don't know because I didn't want a damn war!" I spat at her. "Think clearly Queen Noctus not with hate!"
"HOW DEAR YOU!" She yelled at me.
"ENOUGH!" Maxwell and my Uncle yelled.
"My father banned you for a damn reason now I wish he would have killed you so let me remind you that you are still a child clan of my clan Panalipie!" Uncle spat at her.
"NOW SEE HERE!" She yelled as she stood up and every guard in the room drew their swords and she looked around surprised.
