Sighing irritably as I watch another vampire tremble at my feet while trying to deliver a message my mother apparently sent and usually i would find it funny how i happen to frighten them without trying but today everything just seems to be extremely annoying,

"Would you spit it out already estúpido and not waste any more of my time" I don't mean to be this annoyed or harsh most of the time but after my sister died I just couldn't bring myself to care about anyone else but my mother.
(Stupid)

"perdóname mi príncipe ,su gracia, la reina ,solicita tu presencia" The mensajero says after wasting nearly 30 minutes of my time usually he would not still be alive but considering he's delivering a message from my mother I'll overlook it.

"Lead the way then" I say despite knowing where she'll be; the one place we both find solace these days which happens to be the garden my sister loved.
(Forgive me my prince, her grace the queen requires your presence)
(The messenger)

"My prince I don't think I......." the idiot stammers and I raise an eyebrow daring him to argue with me praying to our ancestors that he gives me a reason to end him, my fangs are already aching at the thought of fresh blood .

Taking a deep breath the vampire faces me and says, "Por aquí, mi príncipe" It seems he doesn't want to loose his head, pity I was really looking forward to feeding either way I do admire his courage not many would have been able to hold in their fear to do their job or even speak properly.
(This way, my prince)

It is not that I don't understand that I have a duty to my people but my people fear me, they call me heartless and cold and in truth they are not so wrong but a part of me wishes to find someone who will at least make me feel something apart from the anger, blood thirst and irritation that seem to be the only emotions that I seem capable of feeling.

"Mi príncipe, we have arrived sire" Looking up I see that we are indeed at the entrance of the throne hall , the two guards at the entrance bow and push open the heavy doors as the servant announces my presence which i always feel is unnecessary but i never question my mother's guidance and rule.

"Introducing his majesty the crowned and undefeated protector of D'grania, Prince Andricalo Juan Hosea-Miguel the first of his name, of the house of Moncederium"

The elders and all the witness take a bow with a knee to the ground in honor of my ancestry, regality and power.

The house of Moncederium is a mouth-full of which i am aware. A house with so much ancestral history of power and destruction; there's a reason no one messes with us and it's not just because of the name.

My sister, Alexis and I are the only royal twins ever recorded in our ancestry, our power and strength rivaled that of any known vampire alive or lost and when she was murdered by her own beloved I inherited her powers due to our bonds as royal twins making me not only stronger but impossible to kill and defeat.

My mother on the other hand believes nothing is ever undefeatable and after she had an audience with the ancestors, that being one of her many powers, it was revealed that the only one that would able to put an end to my existence would be my beloved which sounds like a shit load of bull to me then again i stopped believing in a lot of things after losing my sister; her death broke me and the only one who still has a space in my heart is my mother.
