Aleksander bolted for Elys the moment he heard her took another step towards her chambers. The vampire put all his strength into his feet, and jumped literally ten steps up so he could block his Queen from escaping him.
The young King had an evil grin plastered to his face, to which Elys didn't appreciate.
