Anzeella

He is in the woods sparring against his men as this is the only reasonable excuse he could give to gain his father's permission to step out of the castle's gate as his father insisted on him spending quality time with the generals in the courtroom to gain more knowledge about politics.

His men cheered as he defeated Kanxil, the youngest and weakest amongst his men.

Kanxil is nineteen years old and an orphan who lost his parents to the claws of werewolves at the age of eleven and became helpless. He was lucky enough to have an encounter with the prince who saw great potential in him and decided to take him in.

He has dark hair, and wine-colored orbs which were dull compared to the fiery red of the other men. He has an oval-shaped face which complements his friendly demeanor.

The prince pulled him from the ground and patted him on the shoulder. He felt dejected, weak, and useless ad he couldn't even stand the prince for a few minutes.

The next person happens to be Denzel (Danzil's twin and younger brother), he is quite stronger than Kanxil but was still effortlessly defeated by the prince.

Denzel is the hyperactive talkative amongst the group, he has apple-red eyes and round shaped face similar to his brother's just like his brother,he is twenty-three years old.

Danzil who is the most excited about the sparring came into view as he fought his lord with all his might. No sooner was he also defeated but he didn't feel bad but honoured as only few are privileged to get closer to the prince talk more of sparring against him.

Danzil is stronger than Denzel as he joined the royal knights at the age of sixteen and since then he has been developing into a fierce warrior rumor has it that Danzil is stronger than Denzel because Danzil came out of his mother on his own even before she pushed. He has brown hair and red eyes just like every other vampire.

The next person who drew his sword against the prince happens to be Samion the son of Duke Carswill who is supposed to be his father's successor but gave up the position to his younger brother just to follow his lord(the prince), and that's the reason why the prince vowed to do his best so he will never regret that decision.

Samion is blonde, and has alluring red orbs. He has sharp jaws which complements his masculinity.

This section was tougher than the others as Samion strength surpassed those of the first three, after twists and turns, nonetheless he was still defeated by the prince.

The men smiled as they anticipated a good show because the next in line is the big man "Lutha".

Lutha is the strongest amongst them.

He is the princes best friend but only the both of them knows about the friendship.

Over the years, they've been able to conceal their friendship with the shield of "master and servant".

Lutha understands the prince more than anyone, he knows that right now the prince is finding the sparring boring and wants it to end. He also knows that his aim of living the castle wasn't for sparring but to have some privacy so he thought of a way to make the other men return to the castle with a reasonable excuse.

Lutha unsheathes his sword against the prince and in the process of the fight, he winked at the prince and purposely slashed his arm. Not that the prince couldn't defend himself,but he allowed it because he knows what Lutha was planning.

The smell of blood oozed in the air and the men's eyes shone bloody red as they salivated. The smell of the princes blood has the ability to make a vampire who had his fill salivate, talk more about starved vampires like his men who hasn't tasted blood for some months.

"You see the prince has sustained an injury, and he wouldn't be able to return to the castle immediately, the smell of his blood is strong and you know what that means, so return to the castle and explain to the king, I'll stay with him and we'll return well the smell has subsided" Lutha said and the men nodded in affirmation before turning around to live.

Prince Damiel healed himself after his other men left and smiled at Lutha who always had a good solution to some of his problems.

"Go ahead I'll just wait here" Lutha said and Damiel dashed into the forest happily to hunt.

He arched his bow at an antelope and missed the target at first, but shot it later on.

He kept going deeper into the forest and sighted a serene looking lake from 6y6.

He got attracted to the beautiful flowers beside the lake. Finally,he reached the lake and something across the lake caught his attention.

He took of his shoes and socks, then his coat before finally taking of his pants. He dived into the lake as he kept swimming, till he got to the other shallow end.

What he saw left him agape. It was a petite figure, lying clothless, seemingly unconscious.

He looked around and no none was in sight, he quickly used magic to cast a dress on her, scooped her in his arms and swam across the lake.

When he finally got on land, he quickly dried the dress with magic and put on his own before hurriedly leaping towards the point he left Lutha. He arrived at the point he left Lutha and the Latter was surprised to find him with a woman.

He squinted his eyes inquisitively as Damiel placed the sleeping figure on a stone.

He stepped towards Lutha and began explaining.

"I went to hunt and I found her across the lake she w..

"Which lake?

" That lake" he said pointing towards the direction he came from.

Lutha was confused as he hasn't seen or heard of any lake around that vicinity but brushed of the thoughts.

"Let's return to the castle, it's getting late by the way what are you going to do with her? Lutha asked.

"Let's go with her" he said curtly.

"What?" Go with her?

"What will you tell your father when he finds out?"

" Are you going to tell him? Damiel asked.

Lutha sighed as he started leaping towards the castle. He knew the next step Damiel was going to take do he decided to move also.

Damiel carried the sleeping girl and teleported to his chambers in the castle.he placed her on the bed before casting an additional lock with magic.

He teleported to the point Lutha had gotten and they leaped together to the gate of the castle and walked through it so as not to arouse suspicion.

After ensuring some servants have caught glimpses of him, he went towards his chambers where he met the girl lying peacefully on his bed.

His mind drifted back to the lake. He wondered what's she was doing there, how she got there,and what led to her nudity.

He went to have a bath in his tub which was made up of crystal-like shiny stones with a fountain like spring water descending from the wall which was connected to a waterfall.

He drenched himself in water and stepped out after few minutes.

He dried himself up with magic and dressed up. He was about stepping out of the room when he heard her sneeze.

He turned around and found her turning on the bed.

Her eyes flew open as confusion was visible in her eyes.

He stood in place and watched the scene.

She felt the clothes she was putting on and was surprised. Her gaze flew towards him and she scrutinized him from head to toe.

"Wh... Who are you?" She asked.

"Who I am? " let's say your knight in shiny armour"

"If I may ask why...

" you may not ask" she quickly cut him of.

"But I insist on asking" he threw back.

"Suite your self " she added stubbornly.

She quickly climbed of the bed as she hurried towards the door only to be surprised to find it locked.

"Open the door" she said in a commanding tone.

"Not until you answer my question" he replied.

"Fine you may ask" she finally gave up.

"Good"

"Why were you alone by the lake? and "why were you undressed? He asked.

She sighed as she herself doesn't even have an answer to that question.

" He waited to hear her reply but when he got none after several minutes, he sighed and decided not to press further if she doesn't want to spill it.Please can I go now?" She asked with pleading eyes. "You can but I wouldn't want anyone to see you," he said and her eyes widened.

" Where is this?" And who are you? She asked. He sighed before saying " My name is Damiel, crown prince of Gyria, and you are in Milton's castle"

"Huh!" her eyes widened after hearing what he said. She looked around the room and it screamed luxury. She didn't notice that at first as she was bent on getting away from the annoying stranger.

"Pardon my ignorance your highness" she hurriedly said while bowing slightly.

"Cut the formalities, call me Damiel.

Damiel was surprised by his own words as even Lutha doesn't address him by his name.

She leaned against the door, waiting to hear his next words.

He stood up and walked towards her, " remain in here, don't step out, you'll go when it's safe" he said and stepped out of the room.

He met Lutha in the hallway "make sure no one enters my room for the time being" he said and Lutha gave him a curt nod.

He went towards the right wing of the palace where the king's chamber is located.

The guards by the door post bowed while waiting for him to permit them to do their jobs.

It has been a custom that anyone stepping into the king's inner chamber must be searched by the guards by the door to ensure the person has no hidden weapon, even the prince is not exempted from this law.

He lifted his arms reluctantly and they bowed slightly before searching him and they allowed him in after confirming he was unarmed.

He barged in and was welcomed by a disgusting sight. Three of his father's mistresses were hovering naked over him, Shazia the one he despises most was giving him a blow job.

"Fuck!!" He yelled and their gaze flew towards the door as they fumbled for the duvet to cover their nudity.

He shut the door and glared at the guards before giving them punches on the faces.

"Why didn't you tell me about the atrocities going on in there before allowing me in? He asked furiously.

" the king didn't give us orders to stop anyone coming in" they stuttered.

Had given them the last glare before going towards the queen's chambers to check on her.

Queen Lilia's feet were being massaged by a maid when she was informed about her son's presence.

"Let him in," she said.

He stepped in and she asked the maids out of the room and he sat beside her.

"Good evening mum"

"Good evening son, you don't look bright, is anything the matter? She asked.

" I'm fine muson".m, what about you?

"As you can see, I'm bouncing.

" mum, can I ask you a question?"

"Go on". Do you love dad?"

She got taken aback by his question.

"Of course I do,

" do you trust him?"

"Yes and that's because he has been faithful and is still faithful till date. By the way, why are you asking all these? She asked.

Damiel smirked at his mother's ignorance.

" I just asked mum, nothing more, nothing less.

"Okay if you say so"

"I'll retire to my chambers mum, don't send for me during dinner, I'm sated.

" goodbye mum, he added as he made his way to the corridor and teleported when he discovered it was empty.

He appeared before Lutha and walked towards his room after confirming no one has entered since he left.
