A Vampire Prince

Chapter Three

The next day

PRINCE George POINT OF VIEW

Yet again I wake up with blood stains on my teeth , and my clothes torn but at least I did not wake up from my father's grave . However , today is yet another day that proves that I have once again inflicted pain on my people and it breaks my heart to even think about my actions . I really wish there was something I could do to stop myself from being a monster my people fear without losing the kingdom my uncle tried so hard to maintain .

Moreover , with the vampire hunter coming today I can only hope that all my research comes in handy and no one finds out about my biggest secret , especially the vampire hunter because it will destroy this kingdom to know that the person they trust the most is the reason for their pain and suffering .

I have to hide my secret as much as I can to protect everyone .

For now I have to get ready in order to welcome the vampire hunter so that she does not suspect me , hopefully I did not leave any evidence behind last night that could possibly link me to the unfortunate events occurring .

As per usual my uncle barges into my room without knocking and says " This kingdom deserves good news to celebrate after all they have been through . Therefore , after this vampire hunt you will have no choice but to marry the princess I have chosen for you . It is no longer a request but a command from the ruling king ."

"Uncle please forgive me but I cannot get married right now . I still need more time to grow alone before involving someone else in my life."

I respond to my uncle whose face instantly turns red before leaving my room with a disappointed look on his face .

I hate seeing my uncle like this but I am not ready for marriage at all especially since my secret might be discovered soon . I have to focus on protecting my secret , not on a lifetime commitment with someone .

BACK AT PRINCESS VICTORIA 'S ROYAL PALACE

Princess Victoria

As usual I sit silently at the dining table to have breakfast with my sisters who as usual are gossiping about other people's lives .The topics they normally discuss never interest me , therefore I have mastered a way to filter out their conversations but this time around it is hard for me to filter out their conversation because they are talking about my beloved future husband Prince George .

I silently listen to them discuss the news that has been spreading around all continents pertaining to my future husband's kingdom being in danger because of a vampire .

‘’My dear sister you should pack a sack of onions and garlic when you finally leave to stay in Prince George's castle or else you will get killed by the vampire . ‘’My twin sister says to me with smugness on her face before they all burst out laughing at me .

I know that my sisters do not wish me well on my marriage alliance with Prince George. They have never expressed care towards me even before the marriage alliance hence , I will not let their words affect me today.

And since I am going to be Queen while they are stuck as princesses , I might as well remind them of who I am about to be for the rest of my life because they need to be reminded that my life will never be associated with them after I get married to Prince George. I will not be the silent twin sister anymore but a whole Queen. They need to know their place as soon as now.

‘’Not so long ago all of you sitting at this table had Prince George on the top of your wish list and for as long as I can remember you have always had something good to say about his looks and great character traits . Therefore there is no need for all of you to be concerned about my safety because as you have always mentioned he is a courageous man . Please have no fear because my future husband will always protect me . ‘’I respond to my sisters leaving them speechless at the dining table as I head out to my room.

The expression on their faces is one I will never forget . I will not let anyone speak ill of Prince George or his kingdom for as long as I am alive .

I am going to be the Queen he needs . No more hiding in the shadows or staying silent . The world must know me .
