CHAPTER 11

Princess Victoria Point of view

" For the first time in your life you have taken my advice without hesitation. "

My twin sister Grace walks into my room sarcastically clapping hands with a huge smile on her face as if she has won or done something great . Sometimes I wonder if she is really my twin sister , did we really share a womb .

I do not remember seeing her this happy in the entire twenty years we have stayed together . I have never seen her happier for my downfall like she is today .You would swear she has won a lotto or that she has achieved one of life's greatest achievements.

" I am guessing the announcement has been made and you are here to gloat as usual . "

I respond to my twin sister who seems overly overjoyed to have stolen my dream .

" I wish that was the case but unfortunately they want everyone at the table to make the announcement of my wedding to my prince charming so clean up your self and show up for dinner . "

My twin sister Grace responds to me before leaving my bedroom .

After she leaves I convince myself to get ready quickly and attend the dinner because whether I show up for dinner or not it will not change anything so it is best I just show up and get it over and done with .

I have lost my dream of becoming a Queen ruling a powerful kingdom beside my handsome King . There is no point sobbing because nothing I do or say now will change anything because I will forever be my twin sister's shadow . Grace will always over shine me because she is perfect , she has our mother's looks but unfortunately not our mother's beautiful heart . I am pretty sure when they named her grace they did not think she will turn out like this . Grace does not do her name justice, she is the opposite of what her name represents .

Twenty minutes later I finally master the courage to leave my bedroom to face my twin sister Grace. Let us just get this over and done with .

The minute I walk into the dining room where everyone is waiting for me, Prince George's uncle rises up followed by my father who gives me a royal bow . Confused I walk towards an empty chair which is opposite my twin sister's chair , great her gloating face will be right across the table .

A royal guard pulls a chair for me to sit and my father commands my sisters to also stand up and give me a royal bow .

" My darling are you okay ? What is wrong? We have been worried about you ? "

My father asks me the minute I sit at the table because he knows very well I am never late for anything even if I am sick .

" Do not worry father , she got the time set for dinner mixed up . "

My twin sister rudely interject .

" Sweetie are you sure you are okay ? "

My father ignores Grace's comment and asks me once again if I am well .

" Father my apologies for arriving late at such an important dinner . Your royal highness please forgive me . "

I apologize to my father and Prince George's uncle .

My father nods and dinner continues .

This dinner turned out to be the worst 30 minutes of my life as Grace sits across the table with a huge smile on her face while I just stare at my food . I wish I was in my room crying instead of being surrounded by family at the moment . I just hope I will not break into tears when the announcement about my twin sister and Prince George is announced .

" May I please have your attention. "

My father says as he taps a wine class with a fork ready to make an announcement .

My sisters and I all keep quite and focus our attention on our father as he and Prince George's uncle stand up to make an announcement and Grace slightly pushes her seat to the back so that she is ready to stand up when her name is announced.

" In the next seven days Prince George and Princess Charlotte will announce their engagement to the media . Congratulations my daughter or should I say the future Queen . "

My father announces my engagement to my prince charming and Grace storms out of the dining room while my father , Prince George's uncle and my sisters all rise up and give me a royal bow .

Flabbergasted I just freeze to one place . I can not believe what my father has just said .

Am I really going to marry my prince charming and also become a Queen ?

Is this a dream ?

Prince George’s Point of view

“ Not a sight of garlic bread on the table . If I did not know better I would say you are trying to attract the vampire instead of repelling it . “

The vampire hunter says and I just stare at her not knowing what to say.

“ His majesty is allergic to garlic and onion so we do not have them in the royal palace . “

A loyal servant responds to the vampire hunter and I take the opportunity to ask a question to figure out how a onion and garlic are linked to a vampire. So without hesitation I ask her what she means and she explains to me that vampires can not stand the smell of an onion or garlic.

“ As a vampire hunter do you carry a garlic and onion with yourself everywhere you go . “

I ask the vampire hunter another question straight after she answers my question.

“ You must not come for dinner at the cabin because I have a bag full of everything you hate . Are you a vampire ? “

The vampire hunter says to me and I burst into laughter instead of answering her questions straight away .

“ If I was the vampire would I call you here to help me hunt a vampire. “

I respond to the vampire hunter and then we awkwardly go back to silence until we finished dinner and she left to go back to her cabin.

“ Your highness I think we now know the reason you could not go to her cabin earlier on . “

My personal royal guard says to me and my jaw drops in astonishment . I can not believe what my ears are hearing .

Before I could say anything he tells me that he is aware that I am the vampire terrorizing my kingdom and that he has known for a very long time but he kept it a secret to protect me as his master .

Oh I have never felt so relieved to know that someone else is aware of my situation and does not think less of me . It feels good to know that I have someone by my side .

However , even though one person being by my side gives a sense of relief, it does not prevent what happens at night when I thirst for blood. What will I do to prevent going out tonight or any day that the vampire hunter will be present .

As I am tossing and turning in my room trying to come up with a solution at least just for today , my royal guard enters my room with a glass full of blood.

“ What is this and where did you get that ? “

I ask my royal guard who hands me a glass full of fresh blood and I drink it within a second before he could even attempt to answer my question .

For the first time in a very long time my quench got quenched.
