Coronation

This is the whole story son. "Mother you mean to say I'm destined to marry a human?

Yes my son. The main reason I called for you is to make you aware that you're going to be crowned next month.

"But mother I'm only Eighteen, don't you think it's a bit early? "No it's not at all. You will be crowned King of the Vampires when you're twenty so we have to crown you quickly.

"Okay Mother.

"When will you visit your Mom?

"I don't know Mother, I visited her last two days. "Is she better now?... Veronica asked

"Yh she woke up from her sleep but still haven't said a word it just hurt me to see her that way and it's all because of me.

"Don't say that Damien, you're not at fault.

"You think so Mother? "Yh son.

Ok mother I will leave you to take some rest, I have sword training.

Alright son. Before he stepped out,he stopped within his tracks and turned. Mother where's your demon friend?

"Oo Mara, she moved to another continent but she visits me atimes. Why you want to meet her?

"No just asking, he smiled and walked out.

"Have the tables and chairs arrived? James the head butler asked.

"Yes, Sir James". The maid in charge replied. They just arrived it's been stored in the south wing. There will be changes of curtains as well. I have instructed the other maids to change it before the day ends.

"Good Job. I will check the caterer for the food. Ask other maids to check the florist,her Majesty specifically instructed that she wants fresh flowers. Make sure it delivered tomorrow.

"You're doing a great job James... Damien came strolling in with an apple in his hand.

"Your Highness, James bowed respectfully. We have to do our best after all it's your coronation tomorrow. Everything has to be perfect. There must be no room for mistakes.

"I understand you James. You can carry on, I will just move around.

"Of course your highness.

"While Damien strolled around the busy palace,he felt the presence of someone.

"Just come out and quit hiding in the shadows after all you like it when the maids drool over you.

Dishon walked behind him with a scowl on his face. "Oo yh yh yh whatever you say. You have a big day tomorrow, you need to rest.

"Who says I need rest? I just want to see how the preparations is going. Remember this I'm noo human. Rest is something I don't need.

Really...Rest??? Damien burst into laughter.

"Fine do whatever you want. I just thought you deserve a break before your big day... Dishon said with a worried tone.

"How odd"... Damien blurted before he bit the apple in his hand, but a good rest won't kill right? I'm heading to my chamber. Goodbye Dishon. Make sure to be here early tomorrow.

*Coronation Day*

The maids were preparing Damien for the coronation but he seems lost. Dishon was also getting dressed. He was his right hand man so he needed to look his best for the ceremony.

Suddenly the maids bowed respectfully. Oo The Queen just entered the room. She looked beautiful with her green flawless gown. She walked towards Damien.

"Is something wrong? she asked worried.

"Oo Mother sorry I didn't notice your presence.

Damien smiled. "No nothing is wrong.

The Queen motioned for the maid to stop whatever she was doing. "Leave us alone" she ordered and the maids left quickly including Dishon.

"You are going to be a good King. The Queen said as she placed her hands on his shoulder.

He nodded thoughtfully.

I adjusted his hair and then took a step back to see if everything was perfect. I think you are ready to go".

Damien entered the throne room walking with grace and confidence. The Queen was already sitted at her rightful place while Dishon walked a few steps behind Damien in his regal suit.

Many people were invited, from Royals to high-rank generals, politicians and priests.

After announcing Damien as the king of Persia the priest placed the Crown on his head.

Everyone kneeled and bowed paying respect to the new King. Damien walked to the Queen and embraced her. "Thank you...he whispered.

After pulling out she held his face. "Don't thank me you deserve this and more my son.
