"Make way for the King Aleksander and Queen Elysianne! Make way, make way!"
Men and women heard the trumpets and then the palace knight announcing the royal couple's arrival.
Elys and Aleksander rode into the capital and saw the concerned faces of the kingdom's residents. As how it looked, the news of the attacks had made the vampires restless, a number wanting to get answers from the King and Queen who were riding off to the borders themselves.
"Your majesty, what is the meaning of this?" a vampire woman asked with terror in her eyes.
"How come the borders are being attacked?" another asked.
Thinking that it was absurd, several of the kingdom's residents β especially that from the capital β thought that Aleksander was truly cursed.
An old looking vampire raised his fists up in the air and hounded the knights that first passed them by, "This shouldn't have happened at all! You are all slacking up there in the palace!"
