__________

The breeze sway the flowers in the yard,the servants swept the floor quickly,A carriage suddenly pulled up and the coach man who opened the door was kicked aside in anger.

Lena huffed walking in briskly the servants moving out of there way,the coach man pick himself up before dusting himself and pretending as if nothing happened.

"Mom,mom"Lena shrill shout startled Claudia who turn to look at the source of the voice with a frown but on seeing her daughter softened her look.

"Now dear what's it"...

"Mom can you believe big cousin,he actually date to ignore me for that waste"...

"Who???..

Claudia asked in confusion.

"Who else but that white head witch, cousin said I can't even compare to her finger can you imagine that he even embarrassed me causing me to be a laughing stock among my peers "...

Claudia pulled Lena to sit, coaxing gently," don't mind him,you are always the princess and only heiress of this household she a nobody can't compare to your power"...

"But cousin and his twin hate me because of her"Lena said with gritted teeth.

" Don't worry when your father comes back,I will let him know"...

Lena pouted unhappily before nodding, Claudia chuckled softly looking at her daughter pride swelling in her chest.

" Now don't get all worked up,why don't you have a cup of blood tea"...

" Sure mom, you're the best"Lena beamed , Claudia called a maid nearby and gave her a few instructions before asking Lena on her recent event.

Soon the laughter of both mother and daughter could be heard,the scene was warm but there heart was actually rotten to the very core.

In the stable the coachman eyes drifted towards the window he could see the duos talking and smiling,his smile filled with coldness,he continued to clean the horses yard,his eyes suddenly grew only black before they returned to his normal brown ones..

"They didn't know what was about to hit them,all those blood sucking vampires won't know the cause of there downfall,with the queen's daughter and a few others who had infiltrated the king's castles and some officials home, there plans would soon come to perfection"...

With a sneer,he picked up the bucket pouring away the sticky dirty water to get another one from the way,his eyes turned black again nearly giving himself away when a maid passed by,but she didn't spare him a glance as she was moving towards the backyard to do the laundry.

"I can't get agitate least,I exposed myself and ruin the queen's plan,I have to be careful".....

With this thoughts in mind he composed himself,before putting up his humanlike smile.

Brandon looked at the messenger who hop off his horse walking towards him,and the new recruit's he was training, Camilla, and the twins were there as well.

" Sir Brandon"...

" To whose honor..."

" Sir Brandon the duke asked to pass a message"..

Gasps ran out,Alexander frown,even Camila stopped planning with the pebbles in her hands looking towards the direction of the messenger.

"The duke"whispers ran out,who didn't know he was wicked and more ruthless than his brother the king,Brandon furrowed his brows,his mind calculating if he had offend the duke in anyway.

" Might I ask if this Lord has by anyway offended the duke".

" Not at all sir Brandon,you will understand fully when you open the letter,the duke also said to tell you that your family must be present no a single one missing ".

" Wait is that crazy duke trying to exterminate our family "Alexia blurted out leaving the messenger speechless..

"Sir Brandon the duke also stated that I shouldn't forget to tell you,to be in his presence before dusk of tommor..r....,Aaah"

The messenger roared in pain,his vampire fangs coming out as he held his bloody cheek." Who did that,"No body answered as he halted glaring at Brandon.

" What is this,is this the training of your house,how dare you attack a messenger you will receive the Duke's wrath ,you ...ahhh who did that again"..the messenger roared again,his aura causing some recruit to turn pale.

Another knife was thrown towards him,this time slashing his right eye as he shrieked in pain,smoke coming out with blood,he knew at once it was vervain...

Looking up with his other good eyes the bloody one closed making him look hideous as he trembled in pain.

Brandon just stared at him coldly before turning his head to look at the twins who were stunned and looked at Camilla who was approaching there Father.

" Training you say"Camilla cold voice boomed as the messenger broke out in cold sweat,"such power in the Brandon house were they plotting a rebellion"his eyes widened at this fact, Camilla looked at him with contempt.

" Go and tell that duke of yours that he has no authority under the heaven as long as the king is still alive unless he planning a coup"...

" No...no..."

The messenger was flaggerbasted eyes wide with fear and horror.

"Tell him we will meet him when fit,he is know to be a ruthless man,wicked,cold and heartless of course we have to guard against him,who wants to die" ..

The messengers mind was in chaos ..

" Oh and next time, probably if you're not dead before you arrive in the Duke's Castle,tell him to think twice before sending a lawless messenger hence the next time that happens,he should be ready to receive there dead body,now scram"..

The messenger stood up shakily falling on his butt ,his eyes looking at Camilla taking note of her white hair,his eyes was filled with malice, climbing onto the horses he scorn them resentfully.

" You will pay for this humiliation"..Afraid he would be attacked again he kicked the belly of the horse and fled,the recruit's chuckled Brandon threw a glance at Camilla.

" What??...

" You're still as reckless as ever why did you do that "..

" He was talking too much nonsense,my hand was itchy anyways "...

Brandon"....forget he ask anything ".

He looked at the letter in his hand waving Eric over giving some instructions before leaving to his study.

" Wow that was so cool,"Alexia cooed kissing Camilla cheek catching her off guard.

" Y...you why did you kiss me "Camilla blushed in shame.

" My,my ,is the mighty warrior shy come let me give you another kiss".

" No go away, Alexander save me "Camilla shouted running away from the filtratous Alexia who was hot in her chase,Alexander laughed hard seeing this and ignore the two troublemakers before going to give some tips of training to the recruit's.

" Don't come near me you Prevert"...

" Oh my small heart how could you call a beautiful girl like me a Prevert"Alexia glared at Camilla unhappily.

" If you're not one then what are you a freak,you have been chasing me like a monkey do I look like some banana or desert ".

" Me monkey, Camilla "Alexia roared she was truly angry,this spoilt brat was getting on her nerves.

" Oops,"Camilla smirk before running inside to meet Cathy to suppress the angry Alexia on her trails..

Xavier fingers rammed on his throne,eyes dull as he stared into nothing,before he felt a presence, sneering secretly but kept his cool.

"Great Queen to what do I owe this pleasure".

Xavier asked his gaze turning to look at the older woman who was more than a thousand years of age but her current appearance made her look in her 40's.

" Tsk if it isn't the banished prince,how ironic of you to not show respect to our queen "

One of the queen's aides said his tongue slithering like a snake,his skin black and pale,his nails long and black but one scratch could put a vampire in a dire condition.

"Standing in my palace and in my presence is considered giving you enough face,state why you are here"..

" Such disrespect,you need to be taught a lesson ".

The man lurged at Xavier and the woman didn't make any plan to stop him,Xavier scoffed before waving his hand ,a power force pierce his chest before he turned to ashes.

The queen eyes glowed with delight as she spoke softly," you have gotten your powers back"..

" Just a bit"...Xavier said his eyes burning red as he stares at her.

" Why are you here?...

" I have a proposal, don't know if you're interested ".

Xavier raised his eyebrow before smirking,"let's hear it"...He laughed and nodded his expression turning serious," this is a good idea helping me get back the throne but what do you want in exchange,I know this alliance of ours must come with a price,so what is it you want in return".

The Queen smiled but it was filled with venom," nothing much,I only wants the Duke's head"..

Xavier flashes a sinister smile,as both shake there hands," Deal"..
