Mégas and royal consort:

Vlad:
—Sir, your royal visitors have arrived. Where do you want to conduct the interview? - asks Olenka through the earpiece.
— Direct them to the main dining room, and tell Miss Amíntoros that they are waiting for her there. I'll be down in a few minutes.
—Okay. - hangs up.
I knew they would come. They announced their intention to come to me a couple of days ago, I was hoping that their plans would be frustrated by some other crisis but they have arrived. In a few minutes I must go down to face them.

Eleni:

Olenka's call caught me off guard. I walk to the main dining room and my soul freezes. Occupying the head table are Patrick Amíntoros, Mégas of the vampires, and Kira Amíntoros, his wife and royal consort.
I don´t like this. I don´t like this at all.
000

Vlad sits next to me impassively, calmed, his face completely expressionless while I am absolutely scared shitless.
— We have come at the request of your grandparents, Eleni.- our Mégas murmurs in a low tone.- After graduating you did not return to Greece, breaking the family tradition, moreover, since you started working here at Dracùl Haus, you havent communicated with them.
I compressed my lips, embarrassed.

— Kostas and Cosima...- Kira intervenes, the vampiress smiles sweetly at me. - ... are seriously worried. They have heard rumors about your relationship with Vlad and they fear for your safety.

I look at them puzzled, Vlad isn´t a saint, but he hasn´t tried to assassinate me, at least not yet.
The vampire king and queen look at me and then they set their eyes on Vlad, who doesn't move a muscle. He looks like a f*cking statue.
—I'm sorry that my grandparents´ concern has caused you the trouble of traveling here, but their fears are unfounded. My relationship with Vlad is...well it's...- I bite my cheek inside. I turn to look at him and ask him.
—How would you describe it, my Lord? - I ask doubtfully.
—Wonderful and fucking perfect. - Vlad intones, in a dry tone.
I roll my eyes, turning back to the vampire kings.
—Well, that.

Kira grins, but Patrick's expression remains stony and downright terrifying. This Mégas is scary as hell. I moisten my lips and continue.
— Truth is, that I wanted to put a little distance between my grandparents and me. Yes, I am breaking the family tradition and that is something they don´t understand, but I am an adult woman and responsible for my actions. I don´t regret my decision and I´m firmer than ever in my intentions to go my own way. I am really sorry that my grandparents were so scared that they had to turn to you, if it helps, I am willing to resume communication with them, but I am not going to give up my position at the hotel nor am I going to return to Greece. I´m sorry.

Vlad crosses his arms over his chest, relaxong his posture and smiling defiantly at Patrick, who purses his lips and holds his gaze in silence. The tension between the two vampires is evident and the silence very uncomfortable.
— Honey. - Kira whispers caressing her husband's arm. - The trip here was very long. Could I be absent for a minute? I need to go to the bathroom.

I raise my eyebrows... What?

— Go ahead, dear, but don't take too long. - Patrick murmurs, he looks at her for a moment and his expression changes. There is such an expression of devotion on his face that for a moment I feel envious. I'd let my heart be ripped out of my chest if I could have Vlad look at me like that.

— Will you accompany me Eleni? - asks the vampire. I bite my cheek inside, this smells like a trap to me.

Vlad:

—Divide and conquer? - I ask cynically.

— In these circumstances it is the only way to get to the truth. - mumbles our Mégas between his teeth.
—Am I to believe that the girl's family has filed an accusation against me?
— Precisely.

I imagined that.

— Let me guess. I am charged with humane abuse and a Cockatoo conviction is sought as punishment for my misdeeds.

— Indeed.

I smile.
— It was to be expected. - I mumble.

— We have only come to evaluate the situation, if you have not used compulsion against her, you have not beaten her or blackmailed her, you have nothing to fear. - Patrick answers in a tone of superiority.

Damn b*stard! Alexandros was a clever son of a b*tch to suggest him as his successor. It's admirable, look at him there, looking at me with that hitman´s face, without a hint of fear or respect for me.

Kira and Elennah return slowly, they come laughing and joking with each other, I raise an eyebrow.My little dove has twisted the vampire around her little finger, apparently. I am pleased.

Kira resumes her seat next to her husband, he looks at her for a moment and she shakes her head, frowning. Elennah sits at my side and reaches for my hand under the table, giving it a hard squeeze.
—Well. - Patrick intones. - If you have made this decision of your own free will we won't get in the way, but we will follow up on the development of events between you. - threatens our Mégas.
— As you see fit. - Elennah responds with a smile.

***
After much tinkling of bells and a lot of passion...

— Hmm, yes. This hotel is perfect to celebrate our third wedding anniversary in a few months. - Kira stammers, catching her breath.

— I noticed. In this place you breathe lust everywhere. - Patrick comments, keeping his lips glued to the skin of his wife's breasts.

— You saw it, right?

— Yes, Vlad was terrified we could take away his human.

— Does he love her?

— Like a madman.

They laugh together. Kira kisses her husband and bites her lip.
— Do you think he will marry her? - asks the vampiress.

— It’s hard to tell. The man is stubborn. It is possible that even knowing that he cannot live without her, he continues to cling to the foolish idea that he hates her.

Kira pouts.
— Oh no. No, no, not again kitty. What happens between them is none of our business. We can't get in the way, so drop your matchmaking tendencies.

— But love, they deserve to be happy. Don't you think?

Patrick releases a growl.

— She adores him, you know. When I asked her if he hit her, she replied that hisspanking sessions during sex are the most perverted and delicious thing in her life.

Patrick laughs out loud. Then he puts on a wicked face and spanks his wife's buttock.

— Hmmm. Yes, just like that. - Kira moans.

They kiss wildly for a few minutes until Kira breaks the kiss.

— Alright. I won´t stick my hands in their matter, I only hope that all this ends well and they become as happy as we are.

Patrick lifst his wife, pulling her up onto his hips.
— It’s impossible, my love. Nobody can be as happy as us. - He whispers as he resumes the most delicious demonstration of how much he wants her.

Eleni:

— I think the hearing went quite well. - I comment. Vlad and I are back in his office.

— Yes. I'm proud, you handled the situation expertly.
I frown, Vlad's tone´s sarcastic.

— Is something wrong? - I ask worried.

— No. Everything is in order.
— Vlad. - I insist.
— Elennah.- He stops me.

I release an exasperated snort.
— Good. The next special event is scheduled for a week from now. - I change the topic of the conversation.

Vlad turns his face away, ignoring me, then stands up, walks away, walking over to the huge window and looking out through it at the city traffic.

— Shall we suspend it? - I ask.

— No.
— Shall we carry out the night of casino and bets?

— No.
I look at Vlad, doubt evident on my face.

— We're having an auction. Time to see who the highest bidder is.
