"They're ready for you your highness" Edith says standing at my bedroom door as I fixed my cuff links before turning around to see Edith was wearing a long black gown,

"You look astonishing tonight Edith" I say walking up to her as she smiles before bowing and gesturing me out to the loud sound of music coming from the large banquet hall in the castle,

"Your mother is waiting for you at the entrance of the ball, all the guests have arrived and are waiting for your mothers, yours, and of course Prince Ryders entrance" Edith says as we walk down the stairs towards the long hall leading to the closed doors with my mother and of course Ryder waiting for me,

"Ah! My cousin is alive! Thank the gods!" Ryder says sarcastically smiling at me as I rolled my eyes before walking up to my mother who was waiting for me to link arms with her,

"You look very handsome baby" My mother whispers while kissing my cheek as I groaned trying to wipe away her germs,

"Please welcome, Your Queen along with both Prince Ryder and Phoenix Diamond!" One of our guards announces from the opposite side of the doors we were at before the doors were opened widely,

I put on a fake smile before walking along with my mom who had both of her arms linked with mine and Ryder. The cheers in the room were loud as we made our way to the three thrones at the top of the short stairs at the end of the large hall.

"Will your majesty like to start off with a glass?" One of the guards asks walking up to me as I grabbed one quickly trying to make this horrible night go by faster,

"Stay within your limits with those, wouldn't want you to ruin another celebration in our kingdom" My mother whispers into my ear while keeping a smile on her face since some of the guests were coming up to greet us,

"Lady Diamond, what a great pleasure seeing you again" A familiar annoying voice says as I looked up from my throne seeing King Ron and Queen Agatha walking up to bow to my mother,

"Good evening your majesties, how are you guys?" My mother asks as I noticed a blonde figure behind them staring creepily at me,

"Princess Ava! What a pleasure seeing you here! Phoenix say hello to Princess Ava" My mother says with a gasp while nudging my arm as I rolled my eyes before standing up to bow at the blonde vampire with her large melons close to popping out of her size too small green gown,

"It is a pleasure seeing you again Prince Phoenix" She says twirling one of her hair strands around her finger while biting her lip as I continued to drink my wine glass trying to ignore her flirting looks,

"Is that my wonderful best friend Mary Anne?" My mother gasps as the recent royals walked off leaving the next royals to greet us which were also close to my mother since the Queen is her best friend,

"Diamond!" A shrilly voice shrieks while rushing up to my mother as I rolled my eyes at the dramatic woman who happens to be my godmother,

"How have you been?!" Queen Mary Anne asks excitedly to my mom as I watched her large husband try to catch his breath while following his excited wife,

"How are my godchildren?!" My mother asks happily clapping her hands when my eyes landed on the five men walking up to us now,

"Good evening your majesty" The men all said in unison while bowing down in front of my mother as I snickered at their facade of innocence in front of my mother,

The Lion brothers were all trouble. Every kingdom knew about them and their cruel ways with their slaves and people in their kingdom. All they do is stick their meat in anything with a hole and don't care what the consequences were since they were all prince's. My mother always saw them as her innocent god children but I knew under all the fake innocent smiles they were demons under human flesh.

"Hello, Phoenix" The oldest son of the Lyons family says bowing in front of me with a smirk,

"Evening, Adam" I say with a frown before he moved to the next brother,

"We meet again, Diamond" The second oldest of the Lyons says half bowing to me as I stared back with an unamused look,

"Spencer" I reply seeing my mother was trying to force me to be nice to them,

"Splendid evening isn't it P?" The middle son asks dramatically bowing in front of me while waving his hands as I groaned at the most annoying out of all of them,

"It's a nice night, Garret" I answered back as he winks at me before walking away with a smirk,

"Good evening your majesty" The last two brothers say bowing in front of me as I noticed how more similar their looking as the years passed,

Colin and Conner with the youngest of the Lyons family and when we were kids they looked nothing alike. One was more taller than the other, one had orange hair while the other had blonde hair, and the list went on with differences as kids but now seeing them way after they have matured, they practically are the same orange haired fellows that resembled their mother.

"And of course, my oldest child and loving daughter who is very fond of your son, Lucy" Mary Anne says interrupting my thoughts as my eyes set on the Princess I grew up being creeped out by since she was practically a century older than me,

I was younger then the twin brothers and yet their mother still suggests that I marry the oldest of her six children. What is wrong with these people?!

"Good evening Phoenix" Lucy says bowing down as I noticed a strand of grey hair was poking out at the top of her long red hair,

"Say hello!" My mother snaps while slapping my hand with a fake smile as I cleared my throat to respond only to have something else catch my eyes,

"Excuse me for a moment Cindy" I say walking past the shocked princess as I kept my eyes on the person that caught my attention immediately after I saw what she was wearing,

"Thank you" Her voice says with a giggle as I glared at the person she was talking too,

"Your majesty?!" She shrieks as I grabbed her forearm before dragging her out of the banquet hall not caring that all eyes were on us after we left,

"Your majesty? Where are you taking me?!" Jezzabelle shouts while looking around confused before we reached my room only for me to slam her against the closed door just like I did the day before,

"What are you wearing?!" I growled out as I felt my fangs were starting to come out because of the anger coursing through me now at the sight of the short red dress she was wearing,

"Sir I-" before she finished her sentence my body reacted to the name she called me quickly as my lips captured her soft shaking ones.
