Throne of A Heiress

Chapter 23

Camille's POV

All I could think was Oh My God! I can't believe this is my real life now.

I literally had a crown. A real life crown. I'm a true bonafide Princess. I would've never imagined.

While the room was still in an uproar of applause, Dad said in my ear, "Meet me backstage with your mother."

I nodded, and stepped back behind the curtain with my parents. I noticed the protective battalion's General and two Lieutenant's followed us along with six other soldiers.

"Your Mother has a few things to go over with the battalion leaders, these six soldiers and you. I'm going to head back out to the celebration dinner about to start. Before I head back out Camille I want you to understand something VERY IMPORTANT, these three, he said indicating the general and lieutenants, or just one of them for the rest of your life will always be near you. Their sole purpose is to protect you to the death as you are THE ONLY heir to the throne and Kingdom. Your Mother and I would like to think you're safe in our Kingdom surrounded by people who serve us and are loyal to the throne but we would be damn fools not to ensure your safety 24/7. I reiterate, at least one if not all three of them will always be by your side at all times. As they will answer to me and your Mother if they ever aren't. It would be smart for you to adhere to anything they ask of you, regarding your safety at least until you can use your powers at will better with the advanced training your mother and I will personally give along with the basics you will be taught in some classes we've arranged for you. And even then, it'd be wise to let them protect you. As our main duty as long as we, your parents, are alive is to make sure your always protected, until the time you find a husband, take over the throne and can produce an heir or multiple heirs to the throne, which as your parents even then we would always be there to protect you and our grandkids as much as we possibly can. Whenever you do get married or find a mate you could decide to keep them as your personal gurads and select new warriors. If you do not chose to select different warriors their duty would be to protect your children and to always ensure the safety of the throne to our families future generations. I understand it might take you a while to get use to this, but this is how it will be for the foreseeable future. Your mother will now link your specially battle tested and assigned members of the lookout positions in the battalion to Jesse, Joel and Nathan. And then Jesse, Joel and Nathan with be linked to you. Which, gives you the ability to in a way mind-link them, if ever needed. I'll let your Mother further explain" He said as he leaned in hugged me, kissed my forehead and then headed back out on the other side of the curtain.

"Camille since Jesse is a Vampyre, Joel is a Shifter and Nathan is a Dhampyre being linked to them is easy and can be formed through a simple blood exchange." Mom said.

She  gave each one of us a cup and a blade.

"First you four, stand in a circle. Take the blade and slice the middle of your palms, make sure to fill the cup up with your blood. With the natural healing abilities the four of you have it will take multiple times to fill it."

I sliced my palms doing as instructed. I noticed I wasn't the only one who had to slice myself multiple times to fill the cup, but even so i seemed to have to do it a lot more times than the other three.

"Each person pass your cup to the right, then drink a few mouthfuls before passing it to the next person on your right, until you've drank from everyone's cup."

Once we were done she said, "You four are all now linked by blood and can from this moment communicate with one another. Since your all linked to one another you can also expand your mind-links to include all of you or some of you. Camille since I know you're new at this I will mention it's very easy to let thoughts bleed out to those you have a blood-link established with. So if you want to include more than one other person in a conversation between them just imagine expanding or opening your mind. When you want a more personal one-on-one communication just imagine a door closed, that blocks the weather out but still able to be opened. And finally if you need to shut out someone just imagine a secure vault lock. And that should help you out."
