Chapter 9

My grandfather introduced me to some distinguished people in Firce, he also introduced me to all the Duke, Duchess, Marquess, Marchioness, Earl, Countess, Viscount, Viscountess, Baron, Baroness in the kingdom. Each of them were super nice and they all promise to help me adjust to the new life. 

"Everyone's eyes are on the princess." a husky voice said from behind me. 

I turned around to see Richard. He held a cup of champagne in his left hand while his right hand went through his black hair, roughing it a little. 

"I don't think so." I muttered.

"Well, I do." 

I rolled my eyes at him. 

"Hey, sweetie, don't do that." He tsked. "It doesn't fit a princess."

"You know what you are such an asshole." I said. 

Richard placed his hand on his chest. "I am so hurt, princess."

"Whatever!" I flicked my long, voluminous black hair in his face. 

"Ouch! That hurts darling." he rubbed his face tenderly. 

"Shut up."

Richard laughed. "I can't do that." 

"Richard, my man!" a voice called out. 

We bought turned to see a young guy who was wearing a white button-up shirt, dark suit jacket with dark jeans and chunky boots. 

"Sebastian long time no see!" Richard exclaimed before fist-bumping him. 

"I agree." he said before gazing at me. "Hey, Annabelle." 

"Hey." I said in a low tone. 

"Sebastian, please show us some curtsey and introduce yourself, man." Richard teased. 

"My bad! Hey, Annabelle, I am Sebastian and I am the royal vampire of Mediis Tenebris." he stated. 

"Royal Vampire? Which means you are a prince?" I asked to clear my confusion. 

"Yes. You guys call us princes, but we call ourselves royal vampires." 

"Any specific reason?" I inquired. 

"Not really." he said. 

"Then being a royal vampire means you are from the royal family?"

"Yes." 

"Do you suck people's blood?" I asked. 

"Yes." 

My face turns pale after hearing him. "You... suck... people's..... blood." 

"Well, only if we need to heal from serious injuries or when we worship Ambrogio and Selene but when we are not under these circumstances, we eat normal food." he said. "Please don't think I will suck your blood." 

"Phew! What a relief." I exclaimed. "I thought you will suck my blood." 

"No, I won't." he said. "I promise."

"Okay. I hope to see you more often Sebastian and also get to know more about vampires." 

"I hope so too." he said before mingling into the crowd and joining the party.

 "Princess, I got to go." Richard said. "Talk with people and have fun." 

"Okay 'Mr. Richard'." 

I walked around the vast hall, my eyes snapped all the beautiful decorations and colours used. Everything was loud, shiny and amazing. 

I wish you were here, mum and dad.

"Well, look what we have here." a voice said, snapping me out of my thoughts. 

I turned to see a young guy who was wearing a dark green shirt with black jeans. 

Camouflage colours. I wonder if he is a werewolf.

"Who are you?" I asked. 

"You must not know sweetheart, all you need to know is that I am a guy who sees you as a hot girl." he walks closer to me. "And your scents drives my mad baby."

"Excuse me! What the hell is this?" I questioned. 

"Noting darling." he said before checking me out.

"Will you quit checking me out?" I commanded.

"I can't and also see you soon, sweetheart." he said before walking away. 

I hope not!
