The required formalities followed. The werewolves bowed and introduced themselves, greetings were exchanged and they soon took their seats. The Alpha sat opposite of his mother, at the other end of the table while his two warriors sat right next to Xan, Philip landing right in front of him.
Octavius was a big man, tall with a strong build. Short black hair and eyes like the midnight sky, a very deep blue, almost close to black. He had a scar on his neck, one that seemed to be from a knife that had healed a long time ago. His expression was gentle, his eyes showing no ill intent as he sat down and Kai couldn't say that he disliked him. He seemed to be calm and collected. The young prince though was not intending to pay attention to the Alpha, he could care less. What he wanted was to enjoy Philip's expression to the fullest, the shock he was trying hard to mask, the shaking in his hands and the anxious staring of everywhere but Kai's face. He was hilarious, the prince thought and for a split second that Philip relaxed and their eyes met, Kai winked at him, making him almost drown with his wine.
"I would like to thank you, Queen Cecilia, for accepting us and considering negotiating with us. The current situation was a very big misunderstanding and we do wish for the smoothest return to normality." Octavius said and Cecilia smiled, her long fingers resting at the base of her glass.
"I feel honored to have you as my guests. I hope that you will enjoy your visit. But let's not talk about diplomacy so early on. Your journey must have been tiring. Please enjoy your meal and rest." she said and at that moment three maids entered the room, bringing with them trays filled with steaming food. From pork to mushroom soups to salads and potatoes everything looked delicious.
Vampires usually did not eat human food, but on special occasions they preferred a feast than a simple meal. They enjoyed the taste of well cooked food, it was just that they didn't need it. Food was served on their plates, conversation going smoothly. Information about the human world, some lighthearted jokes here and there.
"Your children my queen, I have to say they all share your beauty." Octavius complimented her and her offsprings. The woman smiled, showing even more her unquestionable beauty.
"Thank you. They do look like my husband too. Kai and Xan, they are almost identical to him." The queen said and the two boys smiled at the Alpha.
"I see. I guess your family has been blessed with great beauty."
"You do not fall back yourself. Your warriors seem very capable." The queen said and her eyes landed on the two werewolves. "What is your name again? Excuse me, I do tend to be quite forgetful."
"Philip, your highness." Philip answered and she smiled.
"You're very good looking, Philip." His mother said and Kai frowned, seeing how the werewolf smiled. Was he really good looking? The younger prince asked himself and his eyes focused more carefully on his characteristics. His hair was nice, black and all. He had full lips, kissable, I suppose, Kai told himself. His eyes were…beautiful. A voice whispered in Kai's mind. Shaped like a fox, green mixed with brown they were his only part that showed some real emotion. Kai's eyes traveled on his neck, his fitted shirt and his arms. Yes, yes, he is alright. He told himself and averted his gaze, even more annoyed than before.
"Thank you my queen. I am really nothing special compared to you." he said referring to the vampires. Kai grinned, of course he wasn't. Such earthly beauty could not compare with him and his siblings. He looked as if he bathed in mud while he showered in liquid gold. Kai sat back on his chair, finished with his meal, waiting when he felt Lun kick his leg. He turned his head, a dissatisfied expression on his face.
"Kai I think…" Lun whispered but he didn't manage to finish his sentence. A loud shout was heard from outside, making Kai smile devilishly.
"Silence. Get them out of here, how did they get inside the palace!" The guard outside the door shouted while giggling accompanied his outburst. The queen frowned, her eyes traveling at the door and she signaled one of the maids to go out and check.
"Is everything alright?" Octavius asked.
"Of course." The queen answered even though she had no idea. "I am sure it's some guard. We will know soon." she said and after a few seconds the maid walked in. A young girl, around eighteen with reddish hair and freckles splattered on her face. She looked at the queen, her face painted a tomato red while she played with her white apron.
"What is it?" The queen asked her, surprised with her expression.
"My…my queen. Outside. Outside there are…there are…whores" she stuttered and Cecilia's eyes widened. She stood up, slapping her head on the table, everything shaking on top of it.
"What did you just say?" She asked her and the girl flinched.
"There are about ten whores outside, they are saying that the man named Philip let them in and after they acquired his services he didn't pay them" the girl said, her eyes avoiding the queen, her face changing ten different shades of red.
Cecilia remained quiet, her attention turning instantly to Philip who sat in his chair frozen, looking back and forth in distress.
"I…I swear I did…" he mumbled and Kai bit his lip, trying to stop himself. Lun right next to him slapped his thigh gently, both of them trying to keep from bursting into laughter.
"What kind of sick joke is this?" The queen asked, her voice cold like an iceberg.
