Chapter Nine

PRINCE GEORGE ‘S PALACE

PRINCE GEORGE’S POINT OF VIEW

‘’ Your grace are you feeling better or should I call in a royal physician? ‘’ My personal royal servant asks me considering my health which was extremely weak when I visited Sindy’s cottage earlier.

I really wonder what caused everything I was feeling when I got closer to her cottage. That strong force of energy that was rapidly weakening my body and sharp light burning my eyes is something I have never experienced before which gives me even more reason to earn her trust . The sooner I gain her trust the sooner I will have better understanding of what is happening to me and most importantly hide my secret from the world .

‘’ Do not worry about me, I am feeling much better after drinking my herbal tea. There is no need for you to call a royal physician. However I am afraid my health will start deteriorating again if you failed a simply task I gave you. ‘’ I respond to my personal royal servant even though I know he has never failed any task given to him.

‘’ Your grace the vampire hunter Sindy has agreed to grace you with her presence tonight for dinner. ‘’ My personal royal servant who never disappoint me, gives me wonderful news that will only bring me close to getting answers about my identity and most importantly about how I came to exsist as a human vampire while both my parents are human .

Upon hearing about the success of my personal loyal royal servant’s task I gave him pertaining to inviting Sindy to dinner , I quickly get ready and rush downstairs to the dining room where I will share a meal with Sindy .

Sindy POINT OF VIEW

Half an hour after receiving an invitation to have dinner with Prince George, I finally master the courage to leave the cottage where my sister’s screams for help resides. Tonight I will have dinner with one of the people benefiting greatly from my sister’s pain and suffering .I will have to sit on the far opposite side of the table wearing a fake smile, pretending to be interested in whatever the Prince has to say and just the thought about it is hurting to even imagine. However , I know it is in my best interest to bear being in his presence for an hour or two in order to earn his trust and begin phase one of my plans to destroy this kingdom and finally seek revenge for my sister .

When I get to the entrance Prince George along with his royal servants are standing by the door to welcome me as if I am a minister or someone of royal importance. Upon seeing all this I would be a fool to not see what is really happening here. Prince George is trying his best to earn my trust just as much as I want to earn his but what could be his reason ? Why does he want to befriend me so badly? Is he perhaps trying to use me to hide something? What business could he have befriending a vampire hunter?

‘’ Good evening my lady , thank you so much for accepting my dinner invitation in such short notice . ‘’ Prince George greats me for the second time today while appreciating that I accepted his invitation which to me sounded like a command more than an invite .

‘’ Good evening your grace, I was delighted to receive your dinner invitation. I am really honored to be sharing a meal with you. ‘’ I respond to Prince George and his personal royal guard standing two steps behind him hints me to bow to the prince and I simply pretend to not take notice because I made a vow to myself two decades ago that I would never bow to anyone in this royal family and I will certainly not break it for Prince George or even the acting King. No one in this royal family deserves my respect .

I stand at the entrance for the longest two minutes of my life while Prince George looks rooted to his place. I hope he is not waiting for me to bow to him because if he is then we will be standing at this door for eternity.

‘’ Your grace, is everything okay? ‘’ I ask Prince George to break the awkward silence.

‘’ Oh! I am sorry my lady, please come in.’’ Prince George responds to me and his royal guards lead us to the royal private dining room where a buffet of mouthwatering food has been set for us.

As expected his plate has been set for him on the far end of a very long table opposite my seat which I do not mind . Nothing seems to have changed in this palace even though it has been two decades. Everything here is just predictable and boring.

As I sit at the chair his grace Prince George has pulled out for me, all the memories replay in my head while my sister’s giggles echo in the private dining room. This private dining room was the only place in the palace where she thought she could be herself while enjoying meal with a person she believed to love and trust.

Prince George POINT OF VIEW

The minute Sindy opened her mouth to great me, I instantly muted the whole world just to admire her beauty but unfortunately it lead to an awkward silence which was embarrassing. Therefore I need to impress her during dinner where she will share her first meal with me.

When we get to the private dining room used only for intimate dinners with family and friends, I pull out a chair for her and within seconds I notice that my plate has been set for me at the far end of the table. Even though this dining table is half the length of the one in the official dining room, I still feel like we are seated at the longest table far from each other. Hence, I command my personal royal servant to set my plate next to Sindy's .

‘’ My lady, Thank you once again for accepting my dinner invitation. ‘’ I say to Sindy after an awkward solid five minutes of silence. When I commanded my royal servants to ensure that there is no background music, this is not how I was pictured the dinner would be.

‘’ Your grace , I would never have rejected to have dinner with you because it is not every day that a commoner like me gets to be hosted by a royal family member that too one with a title like yours . ‘’ Sindy responses to me and somehow I feel like I have gone a little bit overboard with this dinner. I hope it will not scare her off .

Before I even get a chance to respond to Sindy , she immediately ask me about my uncle and when she should expect him back claiming that it is very important that she knows so that she is aware of the time she has to capture the vampire . Upon hearing her talk about capturing the vampire I just knew it would be a perfect time to enquire knowledge about vampires but every time she opens

her mouth to respond to me, I get lost in her beauty.
