"So why is your Princess so full of herself?"
Damien questioned, looking at the Raven-haired Vampire Elite, Lavanya. They were exploring the garden.
It had too many breeds of different types of plants than what they usually have in the land of Mortals.
When he had heard from the travelers coming back to the deserted lands of Middle Earth, that the lands to the South were far more beautiful and pleasant than theirs, it seemed like they were telling the truth.
His eyes could not take in all that he was seeing. It was so green, that to the lightest green, evergreen plants he saw, the flowers, their colors, the brightness all of them had was to another level.
He was supposed to be waiting for the Princess and trying to get to know her better but then he came face-to-face with Lavanya instead.
If he thought that the young palace Vampire had lost her way or gone to someplace in the castle, then he was wrong, the raven-haired vampiress knowingly crossed paths with the human Prince.
She had found the young Prince interesting. He was different than all the other humans of his age that she had net although there were not many she had conversed with of his age.
There were humans in the palace but they were older and younger. Being a vampire, nobody ever could tell or predict your age and that was an advantage.
But then again, as humans grow old, sometimes, of course, it came to the vampires, what would they look like old, even though they feel the energy in the immortal bones fading away bit by bit as they become older?
And often, Lavanya had wondered about it too. How must it feel to grow from bringing all youthful and old, living the time?
But then accessing herself in the mirror, she could not help but be grateful for not having to lose this beautiful youth of hers.
"Isn't all the crowned Prince and Princess are?"
Lavanya retorted back and Damien shook his head, denying such an accusation.
"I m one but do you find me arrogant?
Im quite approachable, M I not?"
He asked the vampiress and she giggled at her answer. He shook his head looking away.
"Ambrosia has always been like that...she has been nice to only two people in her entire life if I must say so..."
Lavanya said and it made the Prince curious. Growing up together, she had seen how Ambrosia was not like the others, easy to go by.
She was not even close to her birth mother either. Her father was her favorite parent. Anyone could tell that by now if they had seen her with her father back in the time.
And then there was Lucia, the white wolf. They were born on the same day like twins and connected right away. Lucia was her best friend, differences in each other's species did not stop them.
And the death of both her father and Lucia, being slaughtered right in front of her eyes, on the same day as the Great Ten Years ended, upon the orders of her mother.
It had not only thickened her relationship with the Queen but also made her more hard from the outside.
"Who were the two persons?"
Damien implored and Lavanya did not hesitate in telling him the names.
"Her father, the vampire leader, Salah, and her best friend, Lucia, the white werewolf...she was slaughtered right before her eyes when the Queen ordered so to kill the left out werewolves after the Ten Years War ended, on the same day..."
Lavanya elaborated and it baffled the young Prince, who did not know that the Princess had to go through all that so young.
He had lived her very sheltered life so far and unlike other royal parents, his mother and father were quite loving, and understanding in nature, which of course was not the case with the Princess and her mother, the Vampire Queen, Celeste.
"So she is..."
"And what is she?"
They both turned around to see the Princess, just a few steps away from them.
"What kind of foolery were you narrating to him, Lavanya?"
Ambrosia implored, taking quick but slow steps forward. The Prince felt so short standing there between the two tallest young girls. He did not even have any idea about their ages.
"I was only passing by..."
Lavanya lied and looked at the Prince for him to be her witness. Scrutinizing gazes of Ambrosia were all over him. But he chose to take a stand with the raven-haired vampiress, who had been the only one welcoming to him so far.
"Indeed..."
"Then pass away already...your presence is not needed here."
Ambrosia sassed. And Lavanya smirked, before walking away in the opposite direction.
It irked her so much. Whenever Lavanya would try to act like that. She liked getting on the nerves of the Princess and often time, Ambrosia would act like she did not care but she did even when she would not give her the satisfaction of it.
"So you started lying to your future wife already, I see."
Ambrosia folded her hands against her chest and the Prince at first thought of denying the accusation being thrown in hid way but then decided against it.
Of course, she was not a human. She knew when they lied and when they could not.
"You could have stuck to lying, you know but when that dilemma of either or not to tell me the truth, arose in your head, I could see right through it."
Ambrosia explained to him. So even before he could admit that he had indeed lied about it but then she had already come to know about it, without a word spoken from his mouth.
"Wow!"
He said, amazed by her capacity. It must feel so cool to be able to read minds and not have to bother actually thinking about what was going on in the mind of others.
"Why wow?"
Ambrosia narrowed her eyes at the young prince.
