CHAPTER 6:

~LILY'S POV~

This hall was amazing. It was still decorated like the medieval times, weapons hung up on the wall and old style bookcases and shelves, along with night armour. It was very fascinating to look and I loved it.

Not to mention the table in the middle of the room, shaped like a straight lines U, There's enough seats at the end for myself and my class and the teachers but would the seats at the top mean that the Kings would be seated with us at meal times?

Do we have to eat with them at every meal time?

Its something, I'm definitely going to ask Mr.Roger or even my dad if I don't have the chance to ask Mr Roger.

Mr.Butler asked us all to take our seats and ofcourse I choose to sit next to Aiden as he didn't left my side the whole time after that and I couldn't be more happy than ever and Joy sit on the other side of me and Alice just next to her. I don't know but I feel like there is something wrong with Alice that she is stealing glances with me the whole time.

I was just starving, it's lunch time and I skipped my breakfast. because I was too busy making sure I had everything for this trip.

"Pst, Lily?" Joy

I looked at my friend beside me when she whispered in my ear, pulling me out my thoughts since Aiden was too busy in talking with his friend on the other side and I was busy admiring his features.

"What?"

"Do you think Ren will come out from these doors?" Joy

I rolled my eyes at hee and nudged her with my elbow, chuckling at her question as she pointed at the main double doors to the room that we use to enter.

"Yes Joy, its the only doors in the whole room to enter."

I whispered to her and watched how her smile grew and patted her lap repeatedly out of excitement.Jeez thus girl is whipped.

The doors pushed open with a loud crack, it made me flinch but also Joy next to me.

The first figure to walk through was of course my Father , he wasn't smiling or looking my way. He was a serious as ever, I mean he's at work so he has to be serious. His eyes fully focused to the front of the room until he came to a stop at the head of the room and scanned the room briefly and shook hands with my teacher Mr.Roger.

After shaking hands he straightened his composure and raised his hand with his palm facing up.

"If you could all raise please." Dad

His eyes flashed to me quickly and winked. I don't know what that meant but okay Dad. I stood up like asked and my dad spoke again.

"First I'd like to say I'm Mr Dahyun and I'm chief advisor for Seven Royals. If you have any questions throughout the trip please don't hesitate to ask, I'm always free to answer any question you may have." Dad

He straighten his tie and cleared his throat for a one moment of silence.I suddenly started to feel nervous and on edge, he was clearly going to say more and it's obvious what he has to say next. Everyone in this room was just waiting for it.

"I'd like to announce the arrival of the vampire Kings for this meal time!" Dad

I gulp when he said mealtime. Do these vampires eat human foot too or are they going to drink blood Infront of us? Just the thought of blood makes me nauseous.

On que the doors opened again and I immediately looked that way. I couldn't help it, I just had to see them. Ever since I seen the first two Kings at the beginning, I couldn't stop thinking about them. Even in the bedroom I was unpacking some of our stuff and browsing around the bedroom.

They've just been in my mind ever since,But that's always seems to happen everytime I've seen in one person but then eventually fades days later.

First to enter was a man with grey coloured hair with glasses sitting upon his face that was so serious as my dad's was.He looked tall compared to the other six Kings walking behind him in pairs of two.

They all seemed to ignore everyone in the room but one looked my way and we made eye contact. My breath hitched and his face was stone cold expressionless.His Raven colored hair suited him very well making his skin complexion paler than rest of the Kings.

He made eye contact with no expression until I felt Aiden lean in close and wrap his arm around my waist to pull me closer to him and now I wonder what he's really upto, he can't like me that's for sure then What. The King frowned and bite his lip continuing to walk until all of them reached the front of everyone and took the seats without a word.

My dad still stood there now behind the seven Royals , he bowed and everyone followed suit including myself.I still have my eyes on that one king that was watching me and he too smirked a little like the other ones when I bowed. What's so funny about me bowing?

"Take your seats." Dad

Everyone sat down but my dad still stood and walked slightly to the corner of the room with his hands behind his back.

My attention went to the man sitting in the middle of the seven, the one with grey hair and glasses.He swiped his finger across his lips and cleared his throat slightly and began to speak with authority in his voice. I haven't seen thus one in person ever, so to see him in person and hear him was a different story.

"I'm King Han. I trust that you all enjoy your stay and follow the rules accordingly."

His voice sent shivers down my spine like physically. I couldn't help it.

" Lily , Are you okay?" Aiden

He whispers in my ear and I just nod at him still watching King Han in his chair. There was a smash and myself and Aiden flinched. Everyone not just I looked at the King that has purposely a what looks like a wine glass in his hand and he looks...Hot.He wasn't glaring at me but at Aiden and he immediately stared down at the table, scared to move.

Maids were already cleaning up the glass from the table and scurrying away while the man to his left found it quiet amusing by the look on his face.His little smile made smile a little even though I shouldn't of been smiling because that King beside him my l-love but it was a little amusing.

"King Ren! Be more careful!"

I looked over to the far end to see another king scolding him with black hair wearing round glasses. He didn't look happy but his eyes weren't red to say that he was angry. But he surely was handsome.

"Yeah yeah whatever." King Ren

He rolled his his at the other king while everyone in the room was quiet to watch the king's interact. I don't think anyone knew how to react or to even breath for that matter.

But with the king's speechless face almost had me laughing. I had to bite my lip. I don't know why I find everything they do funny but I don't dare to laugh out loud. I don't know what would happen if I did.It was like he didn't expect that response from King Ren. But he shook his head and held up a wine glass in air.

"Well I hope you all enjoy the food. Cheers."

Again everyone followed the actions and so did I not wanting to feel leftout and be the oddball.He took a sip of his glass and placed it down. I had water in mine and took a sip and I too placed it down.

Soon enough everyone of my classmates and teachers started eating after the kings began first. It was only respectful to wait until they started first since they're Royalty and all.

During eating in the quietest room ever, I dared to look back up to the kings seated up the front.They all seemed to be busy but one. The one of the two from the front door who smirked at me when I bowed first at the beginning.

He was staring right at me and his lips tilted upwards in a very faint smile and this time it stayed their as we held eye contact until I found it to had a drink of some more water since my throat had become dry all of a sudden.

"Lily Are you okay?" Joy

I nodded and leaned more towards her.

"Yeah why do you ask?"

She pressed her lips together before she spoke again.

"It's just your leg, it's shaking against mine."Joy

I didn't even knew I was doing that, immediately gripping onto my own leg and held it still. The shaking stopped and I whispered an apology to Joy to which she only nodded at me.

Sighing to myself in this awkward atmosphere I picked up my glass again, now looking at my dad who was watching me with careful eyes. He only tilted his head to one side in a gesture movement to where the king's sat. Again they were doing there own thing, eating, drinking. The one that was staring at me before, King Damon if I remember his name was no longer staring at me.

I sighed in relief and took a sip of my water, as I was gulping the fluid, my eyes rested on another,the youngest by the looks of things. He didn't look too happy to be even in this room.

He looked evenly hot but when his eyes moved to mine, I panicked and looked anywhere else but him in the room.Again I tried to be subtle and sneaking to again look at all seven of them since I can't keep my eyes off of them. To the far end the darkest eyes of them all met mine just like they did when he was walking in the room.

His glare was intense and I couldn't handle it. So I unwillingly spat out my water, spraying someone st Infront of me with a mix of water and spit. Immediately apologizing and passing him tissues from my side of the table. There was a few giggles in the room and I've never felt more embarrassed in my life.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry !"

I kept passing more tissues, any that I could find but the guy just smiled and waved me off. Thankfully.

"Lily?"

I looked up to the sound of my dad's voice, He was now standing next to the center King Han. While Han had a smug smile on his face. Did he find what I did amusing?

"Yes"

"Can you stay back please? I'd like to have a word with you?" Dad

Oh no I'm in trouble.

Sighing yo myself. I nodded

"Okay."

I felt defeated for some reason wanting to crawl away and hide but felt a little uplifted to feel Aiden's hand in mine that laid on my lap.I couldn't help in blushing. He may not have spoken to me much in the hall for being scared after King Ren watching him the way he did, I don't blame him for being scared to talk.

After everyone was finished eating, the plates were removed from the table and Kings left first.I waited in my seat as everyone left.Aiden pecked the top of my head and left with Alice leaving my all flustered but there was something missing in my feelings now.

Joy tried to stay as long as possible but she had to leave since my dad was giving her his scary look so felt no choice but to leave and that I'll meet her in our room after whatever my dad wanted to talk with me.

"Lily?" Dad

I stood up from my chair and walked over my dad. I opened my mouth to speak but he smiled at me in response which confused me since I thought I was in trouble and would have to defend myself.

"Follow me. We have things to discuss and people to formally meet." Dad

What?

He is not taking me to the Kings, is he?
