I woke from my sleep even if I still wasn't allowed outside, I washed and dressed doing my hair when my door opened to a somewhat familiar face
"Ahh princess y/n" he smiled to me bowing of course
"Hello" I curtseyed
"My lady I am Lucas Livingston, your father sent me to learn of the Vampir ways, I thought you may want some teaching before your union with the prince" he explained
"Oh yes please" I nodded he offered his arm so I took it and he lead me out onto the deep red streets "so please tell me, what are people like here"
"Well honestly much like humans my dear, they hunt, and shop and such like, the speech is a little complicated but I'm sure you'll get your head around it in time" he explained as we walked
"What about the royals what are they like?" I asked trying not to look at the people looking from there homes at me
"Well... Firstly there is Marcus the current king, a fine hunter and a master of the people" he explained "then you see are this six sons-"
"Six?" I asked
"Oh yes any less then four children men are seen as dishonouring there family line, especially the royals"
"Ohh I see... I assume then I will marry the eldest? The next in line to rule?"
"No here my dear, here the succession is chosen by a battle of the blooded" he explained "all the eligible members of the family will go into the aree and whoever defets the others in battle will become the new king" he explained as we got to that pit I saw when I arrived it was full of people as many sat watching and others stood in the bottom
"What's this place?" I asked
"This is a aree" he answered as he nodded to a guard and pulled me in with him to sit at the back "it's a blessed space in there culture, they do almost everything here"
"Like what?"
"Well the blooded happens here when the king throws his crown, weddings, christenings" he explained "ohh here is a wedding now"
I looked and saw a woman in a tight dress made almost of string, and about eight men each with a knife. I saw a man sat in a chair high above everyone else who nodded to them and all the men began fighting around this woman, hissing and growling at each other as Vampri always do, showing there harsh canablistic fangs it went on a while until only three remained, one pushed the woman to the floor and another ripped off her clothes completly, I tried to look away as these men all fight over her naked body taking breaks where they could to kiss her or to fuck her
"This is a wedding?" I asked
"Of sorts, here they fight for the right to father children to spread there seed, men will kill each other if they feel attached to a particular woman" he explained "they also re do every year to see if you will still fight for your bride" he explained as atlast the other backed down leaving the one man to pick up the woman getting alot of cheers from the crowd he kissed her hard before leaving the pit
"Is this... How I'll be married?" I asked in fear
"Honestly... I don't know," he says
Just as more people arrived
"Who are they?" I asked
"The royals, that's the king and his sons" he explained
"Which one am I marrying?" I asked
"Wait for it" he said as I watched the line of strong men come in each looking like they could kill a wolf bear handed until I saw the last and obviously youngest boy he was tall and skinny with lanky arms but a toned chest and a mess of blonde hair much like the woman who clung to the king he looked like the woman and unlike everyone else
"I'm going to take a wild guess and say im marrying that one?" I asked
"How'd you know?" He asked
