Chapter 56. I Want Her

Lancelot walked through a short and dimly lit corridor behind the butler. He could only hope that Roxanne would adhere to his instuctions and stay at a place this time. He did not need her wandering into places she wasn’t supposed to be, as she had done at his palace.

Though he did not know the vampires well, he knew for a fact that he was not ready to make a scene while trying to rescue Roxanne from whatever trouble she might get into.

As he continued in his line of thoughts, a black curtain was parted, revealing the magnificence of the throne room of the vampire king.

Two maidens mounted the sides of the curtains, dressed in transparent black linen that allowed Lancelot see beyond the veil, to their bare bodies.

He turned away sharply. His father had told him that the vampire king was a man whore, but he had not expected to be ushered in by half naked women. Lancelot was grateful for his expressionless face, it was how he was able to mask his disgust.
