Sharing a Glass of Blood

Upon reaching the first floor of the castle, Daisy and Amelia see Heike greeting Elliot and Neal at the door.

"Lady Daisy." Elliot and his son quickly bow respectfully.

Neal doesn't think anyone would deserve such respect from the King, but he would take a beating from his father if he disrespected that 'holy' woman.

"Elliot, my friend." Daisy slightly nods as she mentally wonders why Heike invited them. And she quickly concludes that he must be feeling unsupported around all of Lucien's wives.

Elliot bows again as he respects Daisy so much. "I am grateful for the dinner invitation, especially when we have such distinguished guests."

Daisy looks at Heike quickly, trying to hide her expression of disappointment. Then she smiles amiably at the King. "No problem, my friend. I just hope you can put some sense in my husband's head."
