Joshua wakes up with a splitting headache, he feels something laying across his body and he turns around to see the two women he had drained, laying lifeless on his bed.

Sitting upright, Joshua throws their bodies off the bed, hearing them thud onto the floor. He sighs seeing the state of his bed.

He sees the embers in the fireplace and gets up from the bed, taking of all the sheets, he throws them into the fireplace and watches as the cloth immediately starts burning.

He rings the bell for new sheets, and soon after, two maids come running down to his room each with sheets and blankets in their hands.

They remake the bed and a few minutes after two men come into the room picking up the bodies of the drained women, before disappearing with them.

Not caring much he goes to the bathroom, opening the taps as he starts filling the bath.

While the water is still dilling the bath, he undresses and gets into the bath, washing the spilled blood from his body.

Getting out of the bathroom he ties a towel around his waist, throwing the clothes he had on also into the fire.

"Joshua. Another drunken drinking spree?" he hears a scolding voice and looks up to see the head chef standing in the doorway.

"Well, I'm getting married in three days, then I can't do as I please." Joshua says and takes the tray from the chef.

"What's for breakfast today?" Joshua asks sitting on the new sheets.

"The same as everyday. Eggs, steak and a glass of blood." The chef says

"It's animal blood again, isn't it?" Joshua asks and the chef nods.

"Carter. That stuff is disgusting." Joshua says looking at the glass weirdly.

"It helps you sober up more quickly." Carter says and nods his head at Joshua, who reluctantly drinks its contents.

Joshua was walking though the garden when he sees his fiancé talking with his 'brother'.

He hides behind a statue as he sees them holding hands.

'Respectable and loyal, my ass!' Joshua thinks as he storms towards them.

Pulling them apart he drags his fiancé, Clara, into his room.

He throws her in and locks the door. She starts hammering on the door and he leaves her to scream.

Going to his mother, he pushes open the doors of the throne room. Joshua's mother and step-father bring their attention to Joshua as he walk to them.

"I'll get married tomorrow, as previously planned." Joshua says and his mother jumps up from her chair.

Joshua return to his room to find Clara siting on the bed, her head hung low.

"This is the fifth time this month that I've found you with him. Once more and you'll be sent back in a body bag." Joshua says as he gives her a hard slap.
