Dinner with the king - V
I jumped slightly as the entire room went up in a roar. Everyone was excited and cheered by the words of the woman. The liquid out of the glasses spill out slightly making blood splatter onto the cloth covering the table and onto the plates.
My eyes remained on the spilled liquid. They were all drinking blood and did not settle well with me making bile rise up in my throat.
It made me realise that I was in a room filled with predators who were drinking the blood of fellow people that I might have known.
Tristan's hand reached my waist and it stayed there making me feel conscious. I glanced at it as the hustle and bustle in the room came down very slowly. People were excited and the words said by the woman along with the toast did not do a job of calming them. It only excited them further.
