["Still wokeup late, you stone head!!]

["Yup I'm a stoned head.. you still talking s**t huh.."]
said a guy who standing infront of me with the same dialect.
"єVє┼, M๏┼ąQ є c๏єQє V๏Й┼є đє PєQ"
["Yes, I still talk s**t"]
I said back...
Both of us are laughing, I stand up and hugged the guy who turn out to be my very beloved cousin.
[Laugh] "Hahaha God lord, how have you been, you look stunning as always.. Ohh I miss you.. So much." said my cousin who hugged me back.
"As you can see, I'm doing great, and so do you.. How have you been, I miss you so much as well Jayson." I said back
After the hug were released, I can see his happy face again. Jayson is like my own siblings. We grow up together and having an playdate together. Today was the most happiest day in my life after more than fifteen years that I have been apart from Eastern kingdom.
"Has a sit, let eat together like an old time." I said, inviting my cousin to have a breakfast together.
"Sure!! after all, I need to hear your story after you left me alone fifteen years ago nobody understands my nagging." Said Jayson.
"Haha, of course.. But leave that for the tea time after this okay." I said back to Jayson.
"Vins tell the maid to prepared some tea at the garden after the breakfast later." I said to Vinson to prepared the tea after the breakfast done.
It common to chilled out while drinking a light yet delightful cup of blood tea after a heavy meal like breakfast, lunch and supper.. it have it own name of course, when it was after breakfast they call it Elevenses.
Elevenses is, surprise, tea served around 10-12 in the morning and is a late morning break that involves a light snack like muffins, scones and biscuits. It is pair with a hot blood tea or drench coffee.
A/N: They soak the finest ground coffee beans in blood.. That why they call drench coffee, it was light like a blood tea but the aroma and flavor profile were like a black coffee. Hand up for someone who wants to try it.. Coz I definitely want try it once in my life time.
"I will tell them right away Sir." said Vinson and walk away.
We both sit down and enjoyed our breakfast peacefully by sharing a few of my story and laughing out of joy.

⚜️~•°?ROSES GARDEN?°•~⚜️
°•⚜️??⚜️•°
The tea is ready, both Jayson and I were sitting on the garden chair. The fresh morning breeze live up my body and give me more energy for the day.
"What a beautiful day!, the view of the garden are stunning isn't it?" Said Jayson while sipping some blood tea.
"Indeed, with the light fresh blood tea to enjoyed as a companion.. Nothing will go wrong with it's." I said back than take a sip of the blood tea.
"Agreed." Said Jayson shortly.
"Sir, the snack is ready. Do you like it to be serve now?." Asked Vinson who suddenly came.
I look at Jayson, without any word he just wink his left eyes. than, I smile to him back.
"In a moment vins." I said back shortly.
Vins just bow to me, meaning that he understood what I mean.
"I am glad full that both of you know each other already." Said Vinson suddenly speaking while pour me a bit more of blood tea into my cup. .
"Of course we known each, we even grown up together Vinson." Said Jayson.
Judging from Vins face, look like he still didn't know that we're related.
"Jayson and I are cousin Vins, I grow up in eastern kingdom." I said to vinson making clear of our relationship.
"If I can tell you a story, it will be quit a long story. I was born inside the imperial palace of Western kingdom. My father are the Prince of western kingdom and my Mother are the Princess of the Eastern kingdom. Our family were blessed with joy and happiness after I was born, but that happens and joy were not longer to be seen after that."
"A few years later, our kingdom were under attack by the evilnes of the Dracula. The citizens house were burn down to the ground, screaming of help all over the place. They [citizens] are slaughtered by them [Dracula]. Sweat, Blood and Tear are combined into one single big pool. They bath in it, some drinking of it and some are use it as a s**t water."
"There are only three survivor, it was me and my twin baby brother. We run away to the Eastern kingdom seek an help."
"After that, I were raised up inside the Eastern kingdom palace along side with Prince Jayson, we are at the same age. When I was Eighty years old I got the title of Grand Duke of South Eastern region from the Eastern kingdom Emperor. Prince Jayson father, my Uncle."
"That region was originally belong to my mother. The only Princess of the East, beloved sister of the Eastern Emperor now. My real name is PRINCE ACE EDWARD NATHAN LYON, SON OF PRINCE ANDREW JONATHAN LYON, CROWN PRINCE OF WESTERN KINGDOM, SON OF EMPEROR ADRIAN EDWARD ANTHONY LYON, RULERS OF WESTERN KINGDOM."
"I'm the only legitimate age of an heir from the Western Imperial families, after my kingdom fall into the Dracula hands. My families are slaughtered and eating alive infront of my eyes. After that horrible day my title as a Prince and the rightful heir of the Western kingdom vanish into a thin air."
"I am sorry for your lost Sir, .. I personally known the actual feeling of yours. I also lost my beloved sister within that tragedy. Hope you can build an new life with new memory here, sir.." Said Vinson comforting me.
"I hope that so as well Vins. And I'm sorry for your lost as well."
"Thank you sir." said Vinson thinking me.
" No problem Vins, we're families anyway." I said back but a sudden curiosity hit my mind.
"Vins, may I ask you something if you don't mind."
"Yes!, you may sir." said Vinson giving me permission to ask.
"From what have I known, your families.The Thomas, have served An Imperial Vampiric families for hundred of thousands decade.. am I correct?"
"Yes, that right sir." said Vinson answer my question.
"May I know your sister name?."
"Definitely sir, her name is Lady Anne Thomas." Said Vinson
"GOODNESS.. NO WANDER YOU LOOK BEGGLY FAMILIAR." I said with teary eye.
"What wrong sir, do you know her?" Asked Vinson shockingly after seeing my tear
"She my late Mother Lady-in-waiting. I remember her, She is my Mom most trusted companion, her smile is charming, she so kind.. she is the one who save me and my twin brother, without her, I will no longer alive."
I stand up from my chair and hold Vinson hand.
" I own her a dept, there no words or gratitude in this world to thank her enough to save my twin brother and my life. She is the most bravest and fearless being I ever known."
"WITH THE HONOR AS A MASTER OF MAGIC. I, ACE NATHAN WALTER, GRAND DUKE OF SOUTHEAST REGION OF EASTERN KINGDOM. GRANTED A TITLE OF DAME TO LADY ANNE THOMAS AS MY APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE TO HER FOR SAVING MY TWIN BROTHER AND MY LIFE."
"FROM NOW ON, SHE WILL BE KNOWN AS THE KNIGHT OF MEDALLION.“
Chain with full of charm and big silver medal decorated with black Pearl and colorful swarovski crystal appear on Vinson cloth around his shoulder and the silver medal on the right of this chest.
"My sister and I are just a humble servant of your sir, It is our duty, and I promise that I will continued serving you same as my late sister did." Said Vinson bowing to me.
"You may rise up, Vins. "
"Thank you, sir."
[Clapping?] "Bless her soul, she received the most highest nobility congrats Vinson." Said Jayson.
"Thank you, your Highness." Thanking Vinson to Jayson for the compliment.
After ten minutes,everything was back to normal.. Jayson and I continued drinking our Tea.
Jayson keep look straight into my face, "By the way, why is your eyes colour are bloodly red? Isn't it golden orange." Asked Jayson breaking the silence between us.
"I have to hide my identity when I left the Eastern kingdom. As you know, Golden orenge eyes are the color of the western Imperial families eyes colour. Now, that you have mention it, I should change into my original eye color than."
"No.. I think you should change it into a moonlight blue color, because it was the eyes color of Our imperial family in the eastern. Same like your mom, my aunt.. Sorry I talk too much.. Isn't. " said Jayson suddenly stop when he realize the tear on my eyes.
Tear drop from my eyes, "it okay Jay, it not your fault. I still remember my mom eyes, yes it was beautiful. As beautiful as midnight moon, It shine bright with the tear like a crystal pearl."
Jayson stand up and hugged me tide to comfort me. He know how hard for me who have been true a lot on my life. "Here sir" said Vinson giving the handkerchief to me after the hug were released.
"Thank you vins." I said to Vinson.
"your welcome, sir"
"So, what are you doing here in this residents, are you the students of the academy as well?." Asked Jayson again.
"This residents are now belong to the His Imperial Highness Lord Ace, your highness." Said Vinson answering Jaysonquestion.
"Actually, I got an envelope and inside the clothes box there is a latter from the Head Principal of Vladmir Ace Academy said that their are offer me a position as a General professor of the academy and giving me this residents as a gift.“
"That sounds odd," said Build again
"Vins, tell the maid to bring out the snack now." I said to vinson to make him go away.
