I sighed as I looked around the room of delegates. I looked out the window at the placement of the stars and moon. "Has anyone heard from Noctas royals?"
"When I sent someone to confirm them coming they said yes but I would have to agree with you if you think they are not coming." Prince Riley sighed.
"Or Pamila is late to make a scene." Uncle Varance huffed.
"I really do not want to deal with her making for Drama then she already has." I sighed as I rubbed my nose. "I swear I thought we were going to lock down the north again after her unexpected visit."
"It wasn't." Logan started.
"Not you." I said turning and looking at my Father. "Him."
"I can not stand that Female."
"She truly does have a way to rub everyone wrong." Aunt Natalie agreed.
"I can say that I think…" The door slams open and Queen Noctas storms in and the guide follows behind her.
"Pamila please do not start." Uncle said before she could open her mouth.
"Queen Noctas, we almost thought that you were not coming." Queen Anastaisa said with a smile. "Come in, have a seat, have a glass of blood, we are just desusing some of the things we could see that would be profitable and useful for the clans."
"I want nothing to do with the outside world."
"Then your clan can remain bitter and exiled while you rot Pamila." Uncle said.
Her face made everyone wince. "How dare you!" She snarls.
"Come come Pamila just because my father put up with that attitude does not mean I will." Uncle said. "I may not be abl;e to dissolve your clan but I can make things very difficult for you." He smiled at her as he picked up his goblet. "I understand you want to separate yourself. We have several clans that have done so but you, my dear, act as if you are the queen of all of us and that is not correct nor right. You act as if you rule the world and you need to get your nose out of the air before an airplane lands on it." It took everything not to laugh at her and I looked at my Father who was smiling and stood up and lumed over her.
"Lets not forget if it is because of you I was chased out of my clan by my father I have every right for retribution, little queen so I would suggest you either lose the attitude or I will make sure no one finds your mangled body." Father spoke and I watched as the shadows of the room cling to him blooking her from view. "So what will it be, civil conversation or death?"
"I think a civil conversation can happen." She speaks but you can hear how tight her voice is.
Father sure does know how to scare the shit out of someone. I think to myself.
"Good then take a seat so we can do full introductions." He tells her as he steps back from her, releasing the shadows.
"Well that was interesting." Mother muttered and I nodded to her.
"Very well." She said as she walked to a chair and sit down.
"Good." Father sat back down and gave everyone a fangy smile.
"Now I am going to say it once." Logan said glaring at all of them. "I will not let armies march though my lands to start a war with the outside no matter what clan you are from." He said eyeing both the bloodborne king and Queen Nactos.
"I can agree with that." King Bloodborne said. "As both my wife and daughter were beaten into my head we need new blood in our clan and I can not agree more. We have not had any children in the clan since my Daughter."
"We all need fresh blood." The Lamia queen spoke up softly. "My clan is having issues with children as well."
"I think most of us are." Uncle Icaris said.
"I know that the southern half of our clan is having issues with it too." Logan agreed.
"Yea." I agreed with him as I remember that report.
"Yet your clan keeps getting the fresh blood."
"Only if we are lucky to get through the end and waste land." I remind them.
"Speaking of the wasteland, how are we keeping the beast from following us out?" King Bloodborne asked.
"We thought of that." Logan said. "Or my Lady did. We found a way in the wall so we are hoping that we can find a way out from the inside of the wall." He smiled at me.
"So we will not be going through the wastelands to get out?" Queen Sanguinoso asked.
"No, even if I have to cut a hole in the outside wall I would rather not have us tramping around the wasteland to get out. We do not need the beast of the wasteland going to the outside world." Logan said.
"I would be able to shadow people under the wall." I offered.
"That would take forever even with the three of us." Father said.
"Vickie has a spell that would let her cut thought the steal of the wall if need be." Mother said softly.
"Now let us do introductions." Father said changing the subject.
"Agreed." Logan said. "All of you should know me but we will just go around the room so everyone knows the names of the people here. I am King Logan North."
"I am Lady Diana Arcaria, heir to the Torant vampire clan and the Dragon witch clan.
"I am the head of the Dragon clan, Cornlina Dragon."
"I am the representative for the humans Albert Coal." Albert said.
"I am Lord Nicodemus Arcaria, advisor of the North." Father said.
"I am Queen Lauren Lamia." She spoke.
"King Horis Sanguinoso." He spoke up next
"Queen Lidia Sanguinoso." She followed her husband.
"I am King Ridner Cornver.
"I am Queen Anastasia Cornver."
"I am Prince Raley Cornver."
"I am Alpha Wolf Tacal representative of the Werewolves." Tacal gruffed.
"I am Queen Nela Nightshade, Queen of the Nightworth clan."
"I am Queen Breanna Nightshade."
"I am King Arthor of the Bloodbound clan. "
"I am Queen Bessie of the Bloodbound clan.
"I am Princess Lori of the blood bound clan."
"I am Witch council representative Norman of the Turtle clan."
"I am King Varance Torant." Uncle grinned at us.
"I am Queen Pamila Noctis." She said, rolling her eyes.
"Now then." Anastasia smiled at us. "I do bel…" She did not finish as the door flew open and a female stormed in.
"Mother!" She whined.
"No Ruth." She sighed as she stood up and walked her back out of the room.
"Well." I said as Raley sighed.
"I apologize about my sister." He said. A shout had King Cornver up and out the door.
"Are you kidding me?" He said as he shut the door.
"What is going on Prince Raley?" I asked him.
He sighed as he rubbed his face. "My sister has been acting out since we found out that we are going to be taking partners." He said with a sigh. "Even my brother Hart has been acting differently, he locked himself into his room and will not come out."
"You're taking this pretty well." Princess Lori said.
"I am only not freaking out because of the agreement in the contact that states that when one of us finds our mate we can devorce." He said with a sigh.
"Alright." I said looking at them and then looked at my father who sighed and gave me a look. I just rolled my eyes and settled.
"What was that?" Uncle Icaris asked, looking between us.
"Ic." Father said. "Don't ask."
"I don't even want to know." Logan said with a sigh.
I smirked at them and flashed my fangs at them. "Well it's not like I can do much at the moment." I crossed my legs and interlocked my fingers behind my knee. "Besides new blood, what else are things we are going to want to see about importing?" I asked.
"Electricity." Father said. "Or someone to fix the power generator in the dam in the Nightshade land so we can get power back."
"I do miss computers." Breanna agreed. And I am sure that Diana would love an electronic drawing tablet."
"A what?" I asked.
"A drawing tablet allows you to use a special pen to draw whatever you want on a device similar to my phone." Mother said. "Only it's meant for artists."
"Oh." I blinked at her.
"I can see that being popular with the forgers and jewelry makers as well." Father said softly.
"I can see that." Breanna said, humming.
"I do believe we need to get electricity back into homes and the castles before we look too far into electronics." Uncle Varance said.
"You have a point." Father agreed with a nod as he looked at his brother.
