She quickly removed the quilt from her body and jumped out of the bed. Liam was only on trousers which his top chest bare for view. What an enticing view but not her concerns, Why was she in his room?
Before she could question him, " Go get dressed, the higher-ups are on their way, you are going to accompany me in welcoming them", he said coldly and took another huge sip.
She wanted to argue out why she shouldn't go because she was sure, the Higher-ups didn't need her presence, he could handle it all by himself.
The higher-ups used to visit the kingdom of Grevinhale too on many occasions but not once had she met them face to face.
She had only seen them from afar and she was certain they only knew her but had never seen her two. She was the phantom princess who died a year ago, how sad.
" Lost in thoughts Little one.... Tell me if you do not want to accompany me", Liam said as he made small walks before standing in front of her.
Her blue eyes stared at him before looking downwards. Who was he trying to play? He was drinking blood at the moment. If she refused won't he force her or even taste her blood, she had managed to escape being tasted by him for now and she didn't plan on letting him in anytime soon.
She had thought of being selfish, letting him help Martha while she gave nothing in return but when she heard Martha was likely to be in treatment for a whole year, she realized that within that period of time she would be living with him as well and would likely remain his blood bag till Martha gets well. No one ever said she was his forever meal, just his personal Blood Bag till Martha gets well.
Meaning, whatever be the case, the vampire prince, would likely have a taste of her blood.
" I'll go get changed but don't think I've forgotten what you did. You can't bring me to your bedroom, especially when I have mine", she hurriedly said and rushed out before he would reply her and the conversation would spark.
Liam chuckled before taking another huge sip and placing the bottle back on the table.

Lucinda, Benita and Juliana, the three strong figures with the overall say in the whole of the three races arrived in the palace court room.
Their faces, clear of no emotions, no smiles, or any eye contact.
They all had silver hairs with grey eyes. They were dressed in their usual uniform. Long black cloaks which covered their hairs.
Lucinda the one in the middle remained seated while the other two stood up as soon as Prince Liam walked in. That was enough to show that Lucinda's power was higher than that of the other two and she didn't need to pay respects to the vampire prince by standing up. All she had to do was nod.
Standing next to Liam was a unique figure, the queen Elena. " High Lady Lucinda", Elena acknowledged her with a nod and Lucinda said nothing but just nodded as well. She was known to barely speak, a woman of few words with an angelic voice.
The next person to greet her was Former Prince Lukas who bowed in acknowledgement. His rank was low in terms of being Former Prince so he had to pay respects to all the higher up members.
The only unknown figure after Lukas was Becca whom all the higher ups members didn't fail to notice. The girl had this unique beauty that enthralled people where ever she went so she couldn't just be ignored.
The Higher ups stared at her for a long time not planning to let their gaze fall from her any moment. They were so intently staring at her that Liam became slightly annoyed. He could see that his little one was uncomfortable with it.
He walked over and stood in front of her, completely blocking her from their view and they all stared at him, no emotions on their face.
" Who is she? Why is a human here?", High Lady Benita asked and Becca felt herself tense. The higher ups had a policy for human blood bags, what would be Liam's answer?
" She is my personal blood bag", Liam declared without hesitation and it was enough to raise Lady Lucinda from her comfortable seat.
I hope you find the chapters satisfying.... so sorry for the suspense
