In a beautiful, thriving land called Vampiria. There lived vampires in peace and harmony, but the main focus in this story is the royal family. The Vampiria royal family, it consisted of, Emperor Dominic Figueroa his wife, Empress Knighten Frank, and his two children. Grand Duchess Kiera Knoll and Grand Duke Lucas Edwards.

On a particularly beautiful and thriving day in Vampiria, Lucas wakes up, the sun glistening on his icy blue eyes. He stretches and lets out a sigh,

"Good morning your grace" said his royal servant, Owen Barrett. Lucas fixes his hair and brushes his fingers through his curly flowy locks. He flips his locks to the side.

"Good morning, Owen- wait why are you in my room?" Questioned Lucas
"Your father sent me to come get you"
"Uh oh, what did I do this time...?"

"Surprisingly it's not something you did this time.."

"Thank the Lord..." He said, he got dressed and slowly, but surely made it down the stairs where he saw his father standing. He gulps and tugs his collar. He was so nervous he wiped a droplet of sweat off of his forehead.
"G-g-good morning, father." He said as he was kneeling to his father's grace

He turned around, his brown mullet reflecting off of the sunrise "Good morning, son." There was a millennial pause of silence,
"Soooo why did you call me here? You don't seem mad at me." He said, drops of sweat rolling down his face.

"It's not you, it's me... I've called
you down here because, well..." He pats his face with a handkerchief, "I am abdicating the throne of Vampiria." He blurted out

"W-w-w-w-w-what...?!?!???1??1?1 BUT- I AM NOT MARRIED YET!" Lucas shouted. His father looked down with a sense of guilt glistening on his face.

"Well, that's the thing, me and your mother are going to set you up for marriage. With the noble night Cohen, and Hayden Stepp child. Noble boy Ethan Rivera." He said.

"F-father please...no! I-I want to find love on my own!" He exclaimed

"HUSH UP BOY!" Emperor Dominic shouted, Lucas covered his ears and tugged down on his curls.

"Father please, you know I am sensitive to loud noises! And also please don't set me up for marriage!" Lucas protested, but his father wouldn't budge.

"Please Lucas, there's nothing wrong with an arranged marriage. Me and your mother had one! And look how thriving we are as a couple!!" His father claimed, although it was true Lucas just couldn't see himself living the rest of his life with Noble boy Ethan Rivera.

"Father, please just... don't I beg!"
"No Lucas,"
"Father please-"
"I SAID NO!" His father yelled, Lucas tried to muster up some words but couldn't get anything out, his eyes filled with bloody tears and he ran off crying.

"Dominic dear..." Knighten said as he emerged from the door, he grasped Dominic's shoulders "...you shouldn't be too harsh on the boy. You know you reacted just like that once you heard about our arranged marriage." Dominic thought for a second.

"I suppose you're right dear, I'll go apologize to him" Dominic kissed Knighten on the forehead and walked off to Lucas's bedroom. He knocked on the door, "Lucas?" No response, "Lucas?! Open the door, I'm sorry for what happened..." Still no response, "Alright I'm coming in!" He opened the door just to find Lucas gone.
