"Have the drinks been readied?" the young king asked, taking in consideration Henry was out, he had made sure Marquis Lanz arranged the drinks without telling him anything at all of his hidden agenda.
"Fresh blood will be served once the meeting will start, sire," the Marquis said, "Would you like them to be served right now?"
"No, we shall wait for those blasted religious men and women of the clergy first," the young king replied.
Aleksander grunted and waved for the Marquis to retreat from the throne. The vampire eagerly did so, and after a couple of minutes, the servant outside the doors announced another arrival.
"The High Priestess Naya and the vampire clergy has arrived!"
Elys and Aleksander grabbed the armrest of their thrones and stared at the heavy doors slowly opening. One by one, priests, priestess, acolytes and other members of the vampire clergy poured into the room.
