The Vampire King sat on his throne as he rested his head on one hand in the armchair, staring blankly at the floor and looking bored.

When she finally reached him, Luna dropped into a deep curtsey.

"Your Highness." Turning in the Vampire King's direction, but keeping her eyes lowered, she added, "I'm ready to marry you."
