“She is immortal,” Michansaid.
“The marks on her leg, the three diamonds, those are the mark of Lochlann Mortas’ family. They only way someone would have it is if they were bound by heritage to the Mortas, or if they had been bitten by a Mortas,” Liam toldSean.
“If a person is bitten by a Mortas, legend has it that the mark of Mortas could grow onto their flesh,” Michanadded.
“Sir Klyn’s witch sister made a potion that would prevent the aethereal blood venom from killing her,” Ethansaid.
“But, what about Sir Klyn?” Sean frantically asked. “He had been bitten too,right?”
“Sir Klyn had been injured on his way to locate the princess,” Ethanstated.
“But, he is still alive. So, he must be a vampire too,” Seandeduced.
“He nearly died of his injuries at his sister’s. She did everything she could for him, but the only way to save him was for Princess Octavia to bite him,” Ethan toldSean.
“But, they can be out during the day? Is sunlight not supposed to kill vampires?” Seanasked.
“The Queen and Sir Klyn are special vampires. They have some of the powers of full vampires, but they are not affected by things that bother full vampires either,” Ethanexplained.
“Is Sir Klyn a knight?” Seanasked.
“Yes. When they returned to the castle, Princess Octavia was now Queen Octavia Darick. She knighted Klyn. So, he became Sir Klyn,” Liamexplained.
As I was becoming enthralled with the gentlemen’s retelling of the story, Roisin stepped out onto the balcony completely naked. Her beautiful auburn hair shined outside, despite the sudden cloudy sky. I closed the book and set it on the table. I had not been paying much attention to it anyhow as the conversation the boys were having consumed myattention.
“Roisin,” I called for her as I opened my robe further and pointed to the ground for her tokneel.
She took one of my nipples into her mouth and rolled her tongue and teeth around my flesh. I closed my eyes to concentrate on the boys again as Roisin’s soft mouth nibbled and sucked on mybreasts.
“Did anyone find out what the Carpe Noctem wanted?” Seaninquired.
“Royal Darick,” Liamstated.
“Plain and simple. They wanted the currency that is used here. What kind of currency was used in Stonebridge?” Ethan askedSean.
“Forest chips. I had heard of Royal Darick, but never seenany.”
“Royal Darick is worth far more than forest chips and can be used in other countries. The Carpe Noctem wanted to get into the castle and steal the Royal Darick,” Ethanexplained.
“They did not just want to steal the Royal Darick, they wanted in the mint,” Michanadded.
“What is a mint?” Seanasked.
“It is where the Royal Darick is made. It is in the cellar of the castle. We will show you. Lochlann Mortas wanted inside the mint so he could take the molds and materials used to make the Royal Darickcoins.”
“Did they take it all?” Seanasked.
“No, that is the best part of the story, Sean. Not one piece of Royal Darick had been extracted from Darick Castle. They could not get into the castle. King Darick had a spell of protection around the castle,” Michan excitedlysaid.
“It is called the Halo of Darick. My mum and pop are good friends with a witch named Gwyneth Calvrook. She said the King’s family has had the Halo of Darick in place to prevent vampires from getting into the castle. The only way in for a vampire is to be invited,” Ethanexplained.”
“But they cannot be invited just by anyone. They would have to be invited by a member of the Darick family,” Liam furtherexplained.
“And who the bloody hell would invite a vampire into the castle?” Michanlaughed.
The boys continued talking about some of the things for Sean to expect during a normal day and how he always needs to be alert in case I was to beckon for him. I motioned for Roisin to go get the double cock headed pleasure object from thetable.
“My Queen, this is fascinating!” Roisin beamed as she examined theobject.
