Duke Zeus sat leisurely in the courtyard, relishing the taste of his wine as a cool breeze whispered through the air. But his peaceful moment was abruptly shattered when his daughter, Vivienne, burst into the scene with a fiery rage.
Startled, he called out to her in surprise, "Vivienne! What in the name of the heavens has brought you here? And why did you dare to leave the palace?"
With an angry glare, Vivienne snapped back, her voice filled with frustration and resentment, "Father, it seems the crown is slipping through our fingers! Azriel has confessed his love to that vampire princess, Olivia! Can you believe it? And to add insult to injury, he has taken her to see her father! She was meant to be our prisoner, for goodness' sake!"
Duke Zeus's face contorted with a mix of shock and anger.
