Chapter 184: She Begins
"Have the drinks been readied?" the young king asked, taking in consideration Henry was out, he had made sure Marquis Lanz arranged the drinks without telling him anything at all of his hidden agenda.
"Fresh blood will be served once the meeting will start, sire," the Marquis said, "Would you like them to be served right now?"
"No, we shall wait for those blasted religious men and women of the clergy first," the young king replied.
Aleksander grunted and waved for the Marquis to retreat from the throne. The vampire eagerly did so, and after a couple of minutes, the servant outside the doors announced another arrival.
"The High Priestess Naya and the vampire clergy has arrived!"
Elys and Aleksander grabbed the armrest of their thrones and stared at the heavy doors slowly opening. One by one, priests, priestess, acolytes and other members of the vampire clergy poured into the room.
The religious sector of the Western Kingdom took about half of the left side, and as they passed by, several vampires bowed down their head as they murmured a short chant to call upon the blessings of the moon.
"Blessed be those you worship the beauty of the moon," High Priestess Naya spoke to those who sought her.
She took the first chair that was nearest King Aleksander, and then sat down with poise and grace. Her face remained calm, but Aleksander and Elys knew better than to let the High Priestess trick them into thinking that she was harmless.
