🌑STYGAIN land of the vampires 🌑
The temperature in the crown prince chamber was freezing cold,he sat by the fire place,with all the curtains dropped down,the room was dark,and freezing cold,the prince has a dark and imposing aura surrounding him,he looks sinfully and devilishly handsome,with his shoulder length hair packed in a man, bun. he and his soldiers just came back from a month long war,he's surrounded by killing instinct,he's eyes looks bloody red.
He's the feared prince of STYGAIN,a very ruthless,bloodthirsty and cold hearted dark prince who won't hesitate to slit ones throat in seconds,the vampires are more afraid of their prince than their king.
He always has a mocking smile and daunting look in his eyes. its been years since he was seen committed to one woman,but things happened that changed him forever,and since then,he only keeps women for his amusements ,and to quench his thirst,and fill his desires,once his bored of the woman he puts her aside.
He's popularly known as the devil. He sat there in front of the fireplace with a Cigarette in between his index finger.
His personal servant knocked gently and opened the door with a creak,he came into the dark room and was barely seeing anything,it took a while for his eyes to adjust to the darkness and he spotted the crown prince.
Carlos has been the prince personal and most trusted servant for centuries,he's been with the prince through his darkest times,so he's a little bit less afraid of the crown prince.
"Y..your highness,I have news for u"
Carlos announced.
"Speak Carlos" came the deep husky baritone bored voice of the prince.
"my lord,duke Aryan and lady Shahana sent their engagement card to you,it came in this morning" Carlos blurted in a hurry,he knew what these two individual put his master through.
the crown prince NIEL rose his eyebrows in amusement,
"Oh really that's good news,prepare the finest gift,we grace them with our presence " Niel smirked with a mocking gaze.
Carlos was surprised he expected crown prince Niel to go berserk with the news,it seems time really heals all kinds of pain.
The following day is the engagement soiree of duke Aryan and lady shahanna.
The king of STYGAIN king JIHAAN and the Queen,queen ROSETTA who are also the parents of crown prince Niel and his younger sister princess Pranee,were also invited to the engagement soiree,all their parents have been friends for centuries,their friendship is still strong even after what transpired between their children.
Prince NIEL dressed in his princely attire and headed to where the carriages were packed waiting for the royal family,the maids bowed anytime he's passing,they admired him and feared him at the same time,and they were all surprised that he's attending the soiree,cause what happened between prince Niel lady shahanna and duke Aryan was no secret at all.
Niel had a daunting look in his eyes when he saw the expression of his parents and sister.
"Good morning all" he greeted when he approached them.
"Good morning brother,, why…. What..,are you going to the soiree?" asked Pranee with a confused look,
"What does it look like sister,of course I have to honor the invitation sent to me" he smile with a raised brow.
"Brother you don't have to," said Pranee as she held his gloved hands,
"They have no ounce of shame for even sending you the invitation how dare-"
"Shh Pranee its okay," he drawled pacifying her.
His mother queen Rosetta had a pained look on her face.
"Oh my boy" she sighed..
*THE SOIREE*
The engagement soiree was packed with influential people of the kingdom,everyone wants to attend the dukes soiree,the herald announced the presence of the royal family,and everyone in the room bowed down. Niel smirked when he saw everyone's reaction because of his presence,he came to this soiree with a purpose.
Years ago,he loved lady shahana,she was the love of his life,and duke Aryan,he was his bestfriend,infact he was like a brother to him,the three of them grew up together,when they were kids,Niel told Aryan that he has feelings for shahanna. Aryan was happy for him,and even encouraged him.
When they became teenagers he confessed his feelings for shahanna,she kept him in the waiting room for long,always saying she'll think about it making his hopes go higher.
One day he caught his best friend and the woman he love kissing each other,he saw red that day his demon took total control,he felt angry and betrayed,he even found out that his best friend have been dating shahanna for 3 years,he found it hard to believe that Aryan could do this to him. And since then he cut them off from his life,he became ruthless and heartless,and does not want to commit to any lady.
He came here to see if her presence would affect him,but even after seeing her and Aryan all dressed up ready to get engaged he felt nothing at all.
Shahanna tensed up when she saw prince Niel,
"Why did you invite him here" she whispered to Aryan,guilt is chewing her up,even after 15 years the event happened.
"So he could witness our engagement,what would people say if I don't invite the crown prince." he stated.
Shahanna breath in deeply,she's Feeling uncomfortable with his presence.
She never really faced him since the incident between them 15 years ago,its like he vanished from their sights,its either he's at the war front or ruling another province.
The couples were receiving gifts when the prince came forward with his servant Carlos holding a box filled with gifts.
Both Aryan and shahanna tensed up, he was looking deep into their eyes,shahanna felt week in the knees,his gaze was penetrating and it felt like he's looking deep into her soul. Prince Niel is a very handsome man, infact, the finest she's ever seen.his eyes the darkest shade of red, a well defined face,sharp jawline,his face looks sinfully handsome that's why he's known as the devils incarnate. just his gaze can make a woman strip and lay on bed ready for his touch,women can line up just for his attention.
"Here are my gifts to you two,its the finest Gold from the west and some jewelries for the bride" he smirked and Carlos dropped the box with a thud.
"Wish you a happy married life" he smiled with a mocking gaze.
