Valentine exclaimed frustrated “It is taking them forever to get through the preliminaries of the trial!” As he finished the sentence a hole approximately the size and shape of a door opened to the right of him, and two guards stepped in and signaled for the prince and Ty to follow them. Valentine ready to begin the next phase of his plan grabbed Ty’s hand and whispered in his ear “Go along with anything I say or do, no matter how ridicules or insane it may sound. If you do we both may come out of this still undead.” The look on Valentines face as he looked at Ty was purely devious, as he winked then proceeded down the hall dragging Ty still clutched in his hand and the guards in tow.
As the two young men walked into the room, all eyes turned to them awaiting what was to come next, the queen saw the clasped hands and knew immediately what her son was about to say and smiled proudly at the bold and cunning move, it was a daring act but it could work out for everyone involved. The young men walked up to the throne hand in hand Ty confused but doing as instructed by Val and following suit, and as the one with the black hair and forest green glowing eyes bowed, the one with the brown hair and purple glowing eyes did so as a moment later trying his best to mimic the grace Val had used when bowing.
“What is this nonsense?” The king said slightly annoyed by the spectacle as he laughed dryly pointing at his sons hand clutched to the hand of the newcomer.
With a look that seemed as serious as death itself Valentine replied in a strong stern voice “I have taken the new awakened Prince Ahti as my husband, for we are in love, and we will marry as soon as the moon is full.”
Ty’s eye’s went wide and felt like they would pop out of his head from the surprise announcement before he composed himself trying his best to hide his shock. The king thought that this joke had gone on long enough, and looked over to Ty and through gritted teeth and said with fiery angry eyes “Is this true wizard? Do you love my son?” The word ‘wizard’ came out venomously as if it were the worst insult possible as he spoke it to Ty.
Ty stopped and thought about how much he had cared about Val as he knew him or rather her from talking and playing video games together over the years, so as to sound as honest and sincere as possible, then he responded with a weak but seemingly profoundly honest voice “Yes… Yes your highness we are deeply in love with one another and plan to marry on the next full moon.”
The king was furious and stormed out of the room through side doors so no one could see him explode with the anger that was now growing exponentially in him. The Coven was now alive with whispering from every vampire in the room as each vampire turned to someone next to them to discuss what had just transpired in front of their eyes. They quieted down quickly though as the queen stood and raised her hand for their silence “So shall it be, all is now settled here in the maters of Prince Valentine and the fledgling wizard Prince Ahti. You are all dismissed; we have preparations to make for this wondrous occasion and it all must be perfect.”
As a single flowing mass the Coven went to work with complete haste as the queen, her son the prince, and the newcomer went behind the throne to a set of intricately designed golden double doors. Once inside the resting chamber for the royals and the doors closed behind them, the queen turned and nodded approval to her son. “That was absolutely genius my dear! I am so very glad you get my intelligence and not your father’s lack thereof. He will be out feeding in the cities until the celebration, which means we will have time to further whatever plans you have made.”
Ty’s jaw dropped hearing these words coming out of the queen’s mouth. “I would close that if I were you sweetie” he chuckled and winked with a half-smile at the last word “unless you like the taste of flies. Then by all means leave it open, but do not expect a kiss from me if you do happen eat one.” Valentine said feigning seduction as he closed Ty’s mouth with his hand ever so gently.
I am surrounded by completely insane vampires! Ty thought to himself before composing himself again and saying “What is the plan now, because I am not interested in men, especially crazy undead ones!”
