Chapter 123: The High Vampire Court
The sun has set, and Elys and Aleksander sat on their thrones as several vampires poured into the room. Aleksander had called for a meeting with the palace ministers, knights, and all the other palace officials.
By the looks of it, only a few had heeded his call, and Elys was still confused how he would get his ’plan’ done.
"High Priestess Naya and the rest of the vampire clergy aren’t around," Elys noted.
"Do not worry, my queen," Aleksander squeezed her hand, an act of reassurance Elys didn’t think he was capable of a month ago, "The High Priestess isn’t needed tonight."
"As you say so, husband," Elys said, turning her head towards the vampires that came in.
Several servants were stationed inside the room as well, ready for anything to be demanded of them. Elys wondered if they were humans. She never had the chance to ask Aleksander before, but now she wanted to know.
It was most likely they were slaves as well.
Elys’ thoughts were brought to a halt when somebody came up to her and bowed down.
"Your majesty," a vampire greeted her as they all took a seat within the High Vampire Courts.
Elys’ face twisted with the awkward honorifics.
She was well aware that majority of the vampires were against her becoming their new queen. The vampires that chose to side with them were few, and those were the ones that remained in the palace with them right now.
