Chapter 6: Beyonce: Run the World

She rolled her eyes at the memory. "It was embarrassing. I’m supposed to be better than that. I train. I didn’t tell my father because... well, he’d freak out and then everyone would find out their future leader is nothing but a wimp."
Kyllian stared at her. "So it was the same rogues Prince Damien killed?"
She gave a reluctant nod.
Kyllian folded his arms. "If Prince Damien is right about the rogue vampires, we do have a lot to prepare for. We need all the manpower we can get."
Luna narrowed her eyes in reaction to his word choice.
He raised a brow. "Including princess power." His smirk returned, infuriating and smug.
Luna growled. "Are you always this infuriating?"
"I have my moments," he said brightly. "But I seem to shine around you."
That did it. She chuckled. An actual, unforced laugh. It was small, but it cracked through her icy exterior. Maybe, just maybe, he wasn’t entirely unbearable. Maybe he would make a decent husband after all, not that she was saying that aloud.
