Hurries footsteps of Mansi and Casmi echoed in the silent hall. They had overslept especially Mansi who was having her lovey-dovey time with Derek.
Today was the arrival of the king they were suppose to be the early ones.
They were lucky Polina didn't get a wind of their sleeping figures since she was busy.
But it was too late the royal herald had already declared the incoming of the king.
The door opened to unveil a god-like creature, his long strides were carefully taken. His tall body build transuded a sense of royalty and arrogance. His sharp crimson eyes and body oozed of dark aura.
His face,... don't even talk about it.
His sharp jawline volunteered to his beauty, his perfectly sculptured nose looked carved by the gods. His slick black hair looked like the soft dropping waterfall of Abicania. He held his crown in one of his long beautiful slender hands indolently.
Casmi stared in amazement , she shook Mansi her eyes not leaving the king for once.
"Is that human?" She asked her eyes still drinking in all the beautiful sight (○▪︎¤).
"No he is a vampire king"
"Wow" She muttered.
"Vampire" She muttered again.
She plopped her elbow on the twisted curved like living vine railing.
In this dystopian world,vampires reign supreme exercising total control over humanity after the failure of humans in the war. Humans were subjugated, forced forced to live in servitude and governed by the vampire elite. However, a few selected humans, known as the 'Royal Bloodlines', possesses a privilege status, enjoying relative freedom and luxury. These royal humans are often seen as collaborators, working closely with their vampire overlords to maintain their status quo. Stark, with the latter wielding absolute power and the former struggling to survive under the oppressive rule. Most humans were made to serve at a very low position.
Casmi stared at the king amazed.
" Is he really a vampire, I mean they are very beautiful but the king passes that limit" She said her grey eyes housing curiosity and interest.
Mansi chuckled knowing Casmi was overwhelmed by the king's beauty.
"Love,love,love someone is in love" Mansi started singing indirectly teasing Casmi.
"No I am not in love and I will never be" Casmi said making Mansi gasp in shock. "°○°"
"Oh please go out there and find someone"Mansi said rolling her eyes.
They quickly hid behind a pillar when Polina's eyes darted upward.
Mansi peeked, hoping she was looking somewhere else.
But luck was not on her side her eyes caught Polina's eyes which soon turned into raging ones.
She poked herself back into the pillar.
"Polina saw me" She said a if she saw a demon.
She looked at Mansi with funny eyes and burst into a soft laughter.
"What's funny ?" She asked annoyed about the fact that Casmi was laughing in the situation they were in.
"You" Casmi answered her laugh ceasing.
"Okay okay we have to find a way to get down there without anyone noticing" Mansi said peeking to see whose gaze
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
"Casmi take this to the King's chamber"Polina ordered,right after Casmi done chopping vegetables.
She gave a tray containing a bowl of hot steaming boiling soup to Casmi.
The aroma filled the air making words of temptation cloud her mind.
She gulped smiling at Polina and leaving the kitchen with two other maids holding trays containing fruits.
They led the way, but not leaving Casmi behind.
Eventually they reached a huge double door. Made by strong crimson caramel wood and lined with gold, it displayed royalty and style and taste.
But one could not get a proper view as two tall body builds were standing there as hard as rock with stern unsmiling faces.
Before the guards could open the door a deep masculine voice called out.
"Come in" A bold deep masculine voice called out making a hot sensation cloud Casmi. Whiles the other maids shivered.
The guards opened the door hastily.
They entered , but got no sight of the king so the two maids started placing the fruits in a large glass bowl
She placed the tray containing food on the table.
Where is the king ?
Casmi wondered.
Maybe he is in the bathroom.[¿-?]
But if so how did he know that we were coming.
After they were they raised their heads only to find the king sitting on the bed staring at them.
OR AT ONE OF THEM ?
"Your Highness" They said bowing.
King Theophilus stared intently at Casmi not paying attention to their greetings.
Casmi nervously fiddled with the hem of her cloth as she felt the king's heated gaze on her.
"Leave, you stay" Theophilus said gesturing for her to stay behind.
