The prince's joy was overwhelming. He couldn't believe that one display of the princess' powers was enough for the nobilities and clergy to fear them. Aleksander definitely hit the jackpot with Elys by his side.
He turned to Elys, "Wife, everything is within reach for us now!"
The prince let out an evil laugh, and his wife gloated at the bewildered look on every vampire's face in their midst. Even the vampire clergy seemingly were astonished by the destruction her magic brought to the knights that were about to attack them.
Aleksander walked to the front, his maniacal laugh reverberating around the palace walls.
The crown that had been precariously thrown by the presider after Aleksander's arrival lain on the ground. He raised his eyes towards the man shivering behind a pillar, and then flicked a finger towards the crown.
"Presider, pick this up," Aleksander demanded, his tone cold and authoritative.
