Ingrid P.O.V
I was finally getting the hang of my powers. Mum was training me more often so I wouldn't go into a blood rage. As a vampire, my other training was easier. The language & mum's spells came naturally. But, she still trained me hard.

My vampire eyes & strange blood magic were confusing me. I began to research these powers in the library. But, I didn't have much time to read due to our appointments. With my ball, the babies & tours, we were working nonstop. I liked the busy schedule but was annoyed that it slowed my research.

"Good afternoon, your royal highness." My maid greeted me

"Tidy up these goblets & plates, please." I ordered as I kept reading my rare creatures book

"Of course. The king has called a family meeting in the throne room. You're required at once." She informed & curtsied

"What is it this time." I mumbled before snapping my fingers to change my dress

I speed walked to the throne room. My heels made clicks on the stone floors & guards opened the heavy wood doors. The dark room was made of stone & black marble. The marble chairs & columns glistened against the stone. It truly look vampiric. Each clan had their thrones in the alcoves but ours was center. It was unmistakable with our engraved golden sigil.

Everyone was gathered around Grandpa & grandma

Everyone was gathered around Grandpa & grandma. I stood next to my parents as everyone lined up on age. We all curtsied & anxiously waited for someone to talk.

"I've brought us here to discuss Ingrid's training." He explained

"My what?" I asked

"No, she's too old to start now." Mum argued

"Start what?" I asked as my anxiety grew

"Death dealer training. Everyone has done it but we started as children." Uncle Marcus answered

"Oh, doesn't it start at 4?" I realised

"Your mother was been shielding you & got amnesia later on. You've been long overdue. It's a royal tradition that everyone goes through. It's odd that you & Vlad haven't." Grandpa said as he stared down mum
