"I'm so sorry for the intrusion.", the guard utters gingerly, "He went inside before we could stop him."
The president sitting on the armchair placed in the middle looks at the guard with displeasure and says:
"I accept your apology, but only for this time." His voice is cold-hearted and frightening, it reaches deep inside and shakes the soul. He must be Adalricus, he fits the description perfectly -
fresh-faced, pale skin, black short hair, straight nose and black, scary eyes.

The guard nods before he bows to show that he's grateful for the forgiveness. After all, Adalricus' name means noble ruler.
"Now, leave us.", he orders firmly.
"No, please! I have to talk to you. My life depends on it.", I utter loudly and get surprised that it doesn't echo, the huge room is practically empty.
"Well, you got a quite brave attitude.", the president to the right answers and I can't really tell if it's a good or bad thing. Maybe they already loathe me. "I like it."
He have to be Basilius, meaning king. His brown hair is so long it almost reaches his shoulders and he has a kinder facial expression. He's also unnaturally pale and his eyes - I have never seen such a blue color, it's fearsome to look at.

Adalricus orders the guard to close the door on his way out and tells me to come closer, so that's what I do.
I stop when there's about seven meters in between us, I'm afraid to go closer. With my inhuman vision I can exmine the slightest details on their priceless clothing and the tiniest spot on their flawless faces.

"What can we do for you, Mr...?", Adalricus asks, he seems to be the head leader. He looks at me with his hollow, lifeless eyes and I panic when I realize I've got a lump in my throat.
"Ashford.", I struggle and force myself to say. "I was hoping that you could spare me from my death sentence."

I reluctantly shift my gaze to Joducus by curiosity, he hasn't said a word. His name means lord and he certainly looks like one. His unlined face has chiselled mangular features and he has a blond hair style that matches his sharp eyebrowns. He differs Adalricus and Basilius somehow, he looks wiser and more nerveless.

"Why would we?", Adalricus wonders, not a tone in his voice changes.
"You see, the law I broke was telling a human about vampires.", I say plainly.
"Yes, it has a lethal punishment."
"I fell madly in love with a girl and in order for her to ever take me back and forgive me I had to tell her." He stares right at me, probably thinking that I'm just another foolish boy who has fallen high over heels. That what I'm feeling is just love, but it's so much more. He wouldn't understand.
"You broke a law. If 'love' is your best contention then there is nothing we have in our power to do. You are a lost cause, we can not spare your life.", Adalricus explains and my mind, heart and soul aches. This can't be the end, it can't.
