Finally, the day of the Blood Moon Masquerade arrived.
The royal palace had been buzzing with activity ever since the sun was still high. The servants hurried through the corridor to get their jobs done. There was no time for a chit-chat, not even for a second.
The royal family prepared diligently for the evening's party. Lady Maris and Lisbeth soaked themselves in milk and honey baths to rejuvenate their skin.
At the same time, King Valentin was attending to urgent matters demanding his attention.
In preparation for the grand event, the Elders Assembly had taken residence in the palace for several days, overseeing the arrangements. Coven Leaders had been arriving since days prior and continued to do so.
While nobles and young vampires would enjoy the party, the elders had a more serious duty to fulfill that night.
