Princess Victoria POV

Most of the time my sisters have senseless conversations about anything they can think of but today at the dining table for the first time they spoke about something important . Even though the manner in which they approached the topic was insensitive , they had valid points . The bitter truth is that Prince George’ s palace is under threat because of a vampire . My prince is not save and neither is his kingdom , therefore something has to be done before we get married for the sake of our future .

Instead of weeping about this the whole day I decide to talk to my father about my worries . One day I am going to be a queen hence it is best to start thinking like one for the sake of the people my prince and I will lead , time to cry over matters has come to an end . From now on I will think like the leader that I am .

When I approach my father ‘ s office to talk to him about my concerns we are interrupted before I could even greet my father . One of his royal guards interrupted us to inform my father that a very important guest from Prince George’s palace has come to see him .

‘’ My dear please return to your room we shall have our conversation another time . ‘’ My father says to me and I leave his office immediately but obviously I do not return to my room . I stand in a hallway where I will clearly see who has graced my father with a visit from my prince ‘ s palace .

After waiting for what feels like waiting for an eternity , Prince George's uncle who is the acting King enters my father ‘ s office with his royal guards . What could possibly be brining Prince George ‘ s uncle to our palace so early in the morning ?What are they discussing in there ?

( After a few minutes of Princess Victoria battling with her thoughts )

The most respectful thing a lady can do is to not meddle in matters that does not involve her and certainly eavesdropping my father and Prince George’s uncles ‘ s conversations is not an ideal thing to do but what choice do I have . I am not trying to justify my disobedience towards my father 's orders but if they are discussing about my marriage then I have every right to hear what they are talking about , after all it is my future at hand . If they are talking about Prince George and I ' s marriage alliance then I must not miss a chance to hear about this first hand . I know it is not a noble thing to do as a potencial future Queen but just this once let me break a few royal rules .

I stand by the door to hear what they could privately be discussing in my father ‘s office without his advisors present because waiting for the meeting to end in order to find out what they could possibly be discussing might just kill me . I just hope that he is not here to end the marriage alliance that was yet to be confirmed because I have made a lot of plans already about my future with Prince George and I would hate to hear that my alliance is over because of a mere vampire .

I try leaning by the door in an attempt to hear them , but not a single voice can be heard though this thick door made of very strong wood . Therefore I try listening in on their conversation by putting an empty juice glass between the wall and my ear in an attempt to hopefully hear them but to no prevail .

‘’ My lady , can we please go back to your room as your father had suggested . Please my lady come with me to your room , your father will really be disappointed to see you eavesdropping his private conversations . ‘’ One of my personal royal guards recommends that I go back to my room instead of listening in on a conversation that is going to affect my life . What does she know ? I am the one whoose marriage alliance to the most eligible prince could be at stake , hence she has no idea about how I feel right now .

‘’ Can you please keep quite . I am unable to hear anything as it is because of this door and thick walls so please do not infuriate me even more than I already am . ‘’ I harshly respond to my royal servant who immediately keeps quite .

After many minutes of silence I finally hear a sound but unfortunately , it is a sound of footsteps coming towards the door . I immediately run to my room with my royal servant behind me . What a close call , I can only imagine how embarrassed my father would be to see me standing at the door after requesting me to go to my room .

  • A Vampire Prince    Will he show up ?

    Princess Victoria’s Point of ViewThe silence of the royal chamber was deafening, a silence that mocked me louder than any gossiping courtier could. The bed beside me remained cold, untouched, as though my husband had never existed at all , as if yesterday was just a dream . Golden light filtered through the tall windows, dancing on the silk drapes, but instead of warmth, it only highlighted the emptiness pressing down on me.What should have been the dawn of a fairytale. Yet, as I sat upright among the scattered rose petals and silk sheets, the truth pressed against my ribs like a cruel hand. My husband had not come to me.I swallowed hard, pulling the covers tighter around me as though that could shield me from reality. My wedding gown, now discarded across a chair, glimmered faintly in the morning sun, its sequins catching the light like tiny fragments of broken promises. I had smiled for the cameras, endured the endless toasts, and stood at Georg

    Princess Victoria’s Point of view The first thing I notice when my eyes flutter open is the cold emptiness beside me , an untouched pillow where my husband should have been. For a moment, I lie still, staring at the space, my chest tightening with each passing second. The echoes of last night’s fairytale wedding still swirl in my mind the golden chandeliers, the thunderous applause of nobles, the cameras flashing as millions of people watched me become Princess Victoria the future queen to king George. It should have been the happiest night of my life.But the dream ended before it even began.He never came to me.I sit up, the heavy silk sheets pooling at my waist, and search the room with desperate eyes. No sign of him ,no jacket discarded carelessly on a chair, no scent of his cologne lingering in the air. Nothing. The realization claws at me while I stood smiling for the cameras, he had slipped away. Where had he gone? Was this what

  • A Vampire Prince    Silent Vow Of The Heart

    Princess Victoria’s Point of view The moment the grand doors of the chapel swung open, my heart skipped a beat. Sunlight spilled into the hall, catching the sparkling crystals of my gown, the delicate lace of my veil, and the countless jewels that adorned the altar , a fairy tale wedding if you ask me .My breath caught in my throat, and for a fleeting second I allowed myself to believe in the fairy tale that had carried me through countless sleepless nights . It was finally my moment to step out of the shadows , the moment I would become Prince George’s wife, the moment destiny had promised.Yet, as I took the first steps down the aisle, a small part of me recoiled at the title I was about to claim. “Prince George’s wife,” I can not believe that I will soon rule as Queen besides my prince charming, I whispered under my breath the words tasting strange on my tongue, almost bitter. I loved him, yes with all the intensity of my being but the notion of being defined b

    Prince George’s Point of View The air felt thick, heavy with tension as I made my way to the agreed meeting place to meet up with Sindy my calm in the storm of uncertainty. Every step was measured, but inside I was a raging storm. I could not face her and tell her everything that had happened. I could not risk revealing that our carefully laid plans might crumble, that Princess Grace my uncle’s hidden accomplice had set a scene earlier this morning that could undo everything. Sindy already believed my uncle was the only threat, but little did she know the full depth of Grace’s cunning nature.“I promised you the wedding will not happen, I made sure of it .” I said as soon as I saw her, the weight of my vow pressing against my chest. “And I will keep that promise.”Sindy’s gaze was steady, her presence a calm anchor against the chaos within me. Together, we began mapping strategies to expose my uncle’s true nature, to reveal his doubl life to the c

  • A Vampire Prince    Two paths, One Crown

    Princess Victoria’s Point of View Never in a million years did I think I would feel gratitude toward my twin sister Grace. The word itself tasted bitter on my tongue, tainted by all the schemes, betrayals, and manipulations that had defined our relationship for years and yet… this morning, I could not deny it. My brain is still processing the sacrifice she made for me , all the humiliation she took just for my sake . The sunlight poured through the tall windows of my chambers, illuminating the chaos outside as servants scurried to and from their coordinated movements like a symphony of preparation. My royal wedding was finally going to take place. After yesterday’s heart-wrenching disappointment when my fiancé called it off, the promise of a new beginning shimmered in the morning air and I knew, with a complicated twist in my chest, that Grace was the reason it was happening.She had executed her plan with such precision that for a fleeting mome

  • A Vampire Prince    The Silent Vows

    Prince George’s Point of ViewThe chamber was finally empty. My uncle had left with his usual imperious authority, barking orders about the preparations for the wedding celebration. Princess Victoria had fled to her rooms, sobbing, and clinging to her cunning twin sister Grace’s comforting hands that promised solace but delivered only manipulation. And I remained behind alone with the silence pressing against my skull like a vice.I dragged a hand through my hair, trying to slow the furious drum of my heartbeat. My chest ached with a cocktail of fury, guilt, and disbelief. The morning had been a carefully staged theater, a trap designed to break me and to bend me into submission. Grace’s smug calm had been calculated, precise and my uncle’s unveiled threat had been deliberate and terrifying . Princess Victoria’s tears were innocent and had been the cruelest strike of all.Yet beneath the rage, a spark of clarity burned. They had underestimated me. They had assumed the shock, the c
