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.
