Cordelia scowled at Lady Beatrice. The noble vampire raised her chin and looked down on the old woman. She knew that Cordelia had no power over her, but she just loved to see the woman's displeased face.
"Sir Knight, may I visit the King Aleksander and Queen Elysianne after they are done dining?" Lady Beatrice asked.
The knight's smile faded and lowered his head.
"I am very sorry, milady," he said, "but King Aleksander had made it clear that he wanted no visitors. The only ones who could go to the Rose Palace right now are those who serve there."
This time around, Lady Beatrice's proud face was washed away. She heard Cordelia smirk beside her.
To make things worse, the maidservant made sure to bump into her shoulder as she walked past the noble vampire.
"Ah, my bad," Cordelia faked a sorry face.
