"It is a most egregious matter. Two servants having a romantic interlude in one of the rooms. The scandal is beyond contempt. Claus von Driscoll obviously has no control over his servant Henriq...And his lover servant Severon. Indeed, they will die by the night's end of Midnight", said Lady Dresmina Daemonim, as she ate her blood steak, and sipped her Blood Wine in her vampiric goblet.
"Aye, such a disgrace", said Count Gregior Vladisiok.
"Once he's done eating and drinking, we'll sever his head and impale it on our black colored gate at Vklac Castle", Lord Vladsioc Vkloc said.
"Indeed. And besides", Lady Vlajinia Vklac said, "...Death is a natural order of selection for those who have failed to use their own power", she added by whispering, as she smiled evilly.

"This is not a real dinner. Sausages, mashed potatoes, gravy. And water", complained Henriq. Severon cried, but ate her meal in silence.
As they bickered, Thomas Gaines arrived with Madeline.
"Good eve. Is there more Tea?", Thomas asked.
"Help yourself, servant. Frankly, I think we're over this infernal Inn", Henriq said. He sighed.
"What happened, Sir?", Madeline asked.
"Sir! I'm not a Sir, M'Lady; I'm a servant. Our romantic interlude in Master's bed has caused a scandal that happened to one of the Carnavan lesbian daughters years' ago. She was making love to her lover at the cemetery. And that was doing a State Dinner no less. Such scandals are rare. But, sadly, we let everyone down. But we're in love. And that means something. I will pay for the dir...Ahem! Anyway, I'm Claus von Driscoll's servant Henriq. And my lover, Severon", Henriq said.
"I'm Thomas Gaines, servant of Lady Dresmonda, The Witch. And this is Madeline Sailsbury. There's a raven on the loose in the Village. I made sure she's protected if the beast returns", said Thomas.
"Then we're going to stop the beast. But not tonight. We'll rest by the warm loungeroom...and rest. Being in this kitchen is frightful", Henriq said.
And they finished their dinner, and headed towards the Loungeroom together.

"Why are you sullen Claus?", Lady Vivica DeMaer asked.
"My life M'Lady is over. Once this scandal is over, everyone will say I have no control of my servants. I do punish...but nothing happens. That's because I am not a Lord; I am a Gentlemen who has some servants. There's a difference in social status", Claus von Driscoll answered.
"Be strong, dear. You'll pull through. Now, there's three hours until Midnight. Once service is over, you can stay the night in my chambers", Lady Vivica DeMaer said, and kissed him.
"Here's £5 M'Lady", said Claus von Driscoll said, as he left his Dining Table, and headed to the warm Loungeroom to relax.

Clementia was doing the laundry for Lady Margaret Dewhurst. Half the week she worked in the Village; the other half she worked at various Inns and Taverns across London. Sometimes, she'd travel up to Ireland, Wales, and Scotland, to work for rich families across the UK. It paid well for a Junior Laundress and Serving Girls.
She wore a clean white colored servant's dress, and black colored boots. She saw the group of servants and decided to take a break, as she made sure the laundry was clean, and put away neatly, and headed to the Loungeoom, where she could relax before the night was over.

Claus von Driscoll saw Lady Dresmonda.
"How are you M'Lady?", he asked.
"Not too bad, M'Lord. Are you alright?".
"Nay. A private matter has caused distress upon me. But I hope that it works out in the end M'Lady", he said.
"Well, I declare that the best remedy is Red Wine", Lady Dresmonda said.
And she ordered two goblets for them, and they sat down on the black colored seats by the warm, glowing fireplace...and chatted in private.

Henriq, Severon, Thomas Gaines, and Madeline arrived in the Loungeroom. They drank their teas. Suddenly they shivered.
Nearby they saw the trio of evil Vampires glide towards them.
"LET'S HIDE!", Heriq yelled, and they hid in the Servant's Wing, as they shivered with horror...as they were determined to survive the second night at the Inn.

Lady Vlajinia Vklac wore a black colored evening gown. Her black colored eyes were focused on the four servants.
"DO NOT BE AFRAID, CHILDREN. WE'RE NOT GOING TO HARM YOU!", she yelled.
And the servants walked towards her.
"We're just need to warm our hands M'Lady", Thomas Gaines said.
"Please do. Only true guests of this Inn who behave properly shall not be dead. We know that your parents are on business. Their work is worthy of us. But they're not Undead; they're human. And you, boy, are swerving a witch called Dresmonda. She is not part of Mist Gate Castle; she is not a Vampire. And the girl has been attacked by my raven. My, how brave", Lady Vlajinia Vklac said.
"But why attack people in the Village? What harm have they done to you, M'Lady?", Thomas Gaines asked.
"Power", Lady Vlajinia Vklac answered.
"Then you're not worthy of power M'Lady. Power is for those who wield it for good; power is not for those who wield evil", Thomas Gaines said.
"What is your name, boy?", Lady Vlajina Vklac asked.
"Thomas Gaines, M'Lady", he answered.
Then, in a matter of seconds, Lady Vladjinia Vklac lifted Thomas Gaines up into the air with her right, clawed hands.
And, as he screamed, she bit him thrice in the neck with her sharp fangs. Flesh ripped, and warm blood gushed, as she exerted her vampic power over the servant boy. And she feeded on his blood, she threw her enemy into the hot fireplace in anger.
