#Chapter 61: A Trap
Arthur couldn’t believe what he’d heard. He glanced at Daphne and found her frozen in shock as well. He looked back at Blade who looked pensive and troubled.
“I’ve talked with the other members of the patrol, and we all think it’s a trap.”
Arthur thought that much was obvious, but he was more interested in what their goal was. At least with Owen, he knew the man just wanted to kill him, but what did the vampires want? Maybe it wasn't a trap, but an opportunity.
He didn't know enough about vampires to know for sure, but his instincts said they weren't trying to trick them.
“Have you told anyone else?”
“No, Your Majesty.”
Arthur sighed and stood, “Call a meeting in the hall about this.”
Blade nodded, bowed and left. Arthur looked at Daphne.
“Once this is done we’ll go back to lunch.”
Daphne gave him a tight smile. She had a feeling that it wouldn’t be that simple. Nothing had been that simple since Arthur took the throne.
“It’s a trap!”
