After the engagement soiree,a party was thrown,the party was lively and full of surplus blood and food,Niel sat on the chair with a glass of blood in his hands,a lady was beside him she was talking but his attention wasn't there at all,the lady is a daughter of the minister of foreign affairs,she seems to be always on his tail these days,its obvious she likes,him,Niel keeps her around for his amusement,but she seems to bore him these days,and he'll get rid of her,she better not cross her limits or her family will find her body floating in the river.
"Mi Lord,,did u hear what I said at all?"
She asked sweetly,trying to bring her body more close to him,
"Of course my lady,but I need to leave now,I'll see u around",he smiled with a daunting look.
His right hand man,Duncan immediately followed behind ."I was wondering when we would leave the party seems boring," said Duncan as they left the manor to the palace,
Niel just grunted in response,
"She was stealing glances at you all through out the soiree Mi'lord"
"That's her business,and besides I don't care".
The following day,king JIHAN the second which is Niel and pranee's Father invited their family and friends for breakfast in the crowns palace.
The palace of STYGAIN is the most grandest and biggest palace ever built,considering they rule the world their palace has to be grand,though the other nations like human,witches,werewolves and many other nations still have their kings,the kings obey the orders of SYGAIN,they lead by the protocol and rules of the vampires,failure to do so,will cause massive bloodshed,and your nations supply will be cut off.,STYGIAN is a very blessed kingdom,even though its always raining and cold,they still harvest the best of food and crops,they bring servants from the other nations to work on their farms, STYGAIN alone can feed billions of people. they produce the finest silk and leather ,they have the strongest wood,precious stones and many other good things,that other nations do crave for. They have legions of army both of the sea and land they have the best knights .
Prince Neil stood by the balcony enjoying the morning breeze the weather looks great today,its kind of warm.
He looks drop dead gorgeous standing there smoking a cigarette. He stood shirtless watching the rise of the sun,the thought of Aryan and Shahanna totally dismissed.as promised by his father,he would be crowned king in a couple of weeks,and a dangerous smirk graced his lips. he remembered the look of horror on the ministers faces when His father announced his decision at the royal court they were all petrified,they know how dangerous and ruthless prince Niel can be,and now that he'll be king,they re all done for.
His servant Carlos came into the room to run a bath for him.
"My lord your bath is ready," Carlos announced
and he grunted in response making no effort to move from the balcony.
"Mi lord you'll be late for the breakfast" Carlos reminded.
"let them wait," came his deep husky voice.
.....
sharp footsteps could be heard in the hallway as prince Niel march to the dinning room,his servant Carlos was walking closely behind him,and his right hand man DUNCAN Duncan has been Niels right hand man,for centuries,he's even more than a brother to the crown prince,but their relationship is quite formal.
All the maids and servant bowed in total submission as he passed by them. The maids were soon gonna start suffering from nosebleeds, the prince is looking so regal,so handsome his shoulder length hair was styled in a manly way,his deep red red eyes were exceptionally beautifully carved out,his long eyelashes were stuck together slightly and gave off an indescribable sexiness and charm, Every angle of him exuded coldness as if it was rooted in his bones,and it made everyone present shiver in an intangible frost,but his lips was graced with a mischievous smirk, showing he's up to no good.
The guards open the double door leading to the dinning room,and the noise died down,shahanna and her fiance were present with their families. And Catherine, kings Jihan step sister is also present with her children,SOPHIA AND JETHRO.
"Good morning mom and dad" he greeted with a mischievous smile.
"Good morning aunties and uncles"he greeted everyone,Everyone except the king and queen stood and bowed their heads in greeting ,prince Niel gestured with his hands for them to sit and they did.
"Good morning my lord" ,Sophia greeted with a toothy smile her smile died down when he only grunted in response.
Niel sat beside his sister,and saw how she turned uncomfortable,he don't blame her,when he was in his dark times,he shut her out completely,not only her but everyone.he remembered yelling at her to get away from him,and since then she became distant.
"Good to see you at the dinning son" the king beamed. Shahanna was fiddling with her food feeling uneasy with his presence,but he spared her no glance.
Since he came back from the war,he became more Scarry with the deadly mischievous smile on his face,mocking and cunning look,he didnt spare her glance even for once,treating her like dust,likewise Aryan.
"urm son we re going hunting and I was wondering if you would join" Niel paused chewing his food and raised his head,sure father I don't mind,he smirked.and continued eating his food,he took a large gulp of blood making his red lips even redder.
His sister was sitting beside him,feeling intimidated with his presence ,she raised her
head and saw Niel starring at her smiling smugly holding a fork filled with meat to her lips.
"Come on sis take a bite" she was shocked.
She slowly opened her mouth and chewed the meat slowly,after that he fed her a glass of blood,Everyone was looking at the brother and sister duo in shock.how is the prince being so nice. The king was looking at his son suspiciously.
"Good girl" he smiled and ruffled her hair. He leaned in closer to her and whispered in her ear,"I love youuu" Even though he whispered it to her the vampires with their uncanny hearing heard him.Pranee blushed and playfully hit his arms.that was Niel motive,to make her comfortable around HIM again.
That night prince Niel dreamt of the same river he's been dreaming about for the past few months.
He woke up from the start,with sweat covering his whole body,
"Who's she?he muttered under his breath.
