" You'd be surprised by the amount of gaurds we have..... besides, not all of them are ours. Some are soldiers of our allies, here to help out. A few others are new recruits or guards in training....the most experienced guards stay at the castle to protect the royal family and other staff. ....and what do you mean there's one with my sister? She best be alright...." however, when Jessica insisted they check on her sister, she nodded. '" Alright, let's go. Aki, are you coming to check on Aralynn? She's been acting odd all day."

He had to admit, there was something enjoyable about seeing the queen smile and laugh. For once he felt she was genuinly happy. He had really only ever seen her so stone-cold and serious, so much so that the smiles and laughing seemed almost out of place on her porcelain face. Yet at the same time, he was almost sad to see it leave. None the less, it was his turn to frown when the queen hesitated to take his hand, even more so when she seemed to fear him being seen with her. Why was she so afraid of being caught with him? He could easily have vanished if she would've just asked him to. Even if Adrian wasn't in control, they still had acess to eachother's abilities...to some extent, anyways.
" Actually, believe it or not, I'm more of a gentleman than my counter part. I would've just bid you goodnight until tomarrow if you'd said no or simply requested for me to leave." he then grinned at her, unintentionally showing his fangs. " However, we vampires are greedy creatures. It's in our DNA, and we'll stop at nothing to get what we want, so I just would've asked again some other time." with a cheerful expression on his face he pulled Aralynn closer to him. " That being said, I most certainly won't turn down you willingly agreeing to go with me. But first~" he purred, plucking the crown of her head and jokingly placing it on his own before eventually placing it on her nightstand. " That won't do you any good where we're going, but I promise you will be safe under my watch. I happen to know a place I think would interest you, " keeping her close to him, he jumped out the window with her in his arms, landing on the ground as lightly as a feather. " My apologies, but to get where we're going in reasonable time we must use the shadows. I despise using his abilities, but for you I"m willing. Though I advise you not to let go while we're in the realm of shadows. You won't be able to get back out if you loose me, and it'd be incredibly difficult to find you if you wander of the trail. Consider it similar to fairy paths, but with even more to explore, and a lot darker. " with that he slipped into a shadow, keeping her in his arms. To human eyes it likely appeared as nothing but darkness, but considering it was Adrian's power, he could see the trails and markings as clear as day.
After what only felt like a few minutes, he exited the shadows, and the queen would then find herself in an entirely different city. '' This is a city belonging to my kingdom. Worry not, however, there are plenty of humans here, and the king doesn't pay much attention to this city. It wouldn't surprise me if he forgot it existed entirely, considering it's so far away from the rest of the kingdom. The humans here , at least, most of them, are aware of our existence. They can't leave without supervision so they don't expose us, but everyone gets along for the most part. Like any society there are issues, but it's relatively peaceful. " he stated happily. beneath every streetlight resided flowers that only bloomed at night, a few variations of which almost appeared to glow. Meanwhile, bioluminescent plants and moss lit up alleyways to prevent danger from lurking in the shadows as much. People laughed and danced at various locations throughout the numerous streets, and the nightlife flourished there. It was almost like being in new orleans near the mardi gras, but with less parades. Plenty of cafes and eateries also were around, along with a few clothing shops here and there. " So, Mrs.Aralynn, it's your night. What would you like to explore first?"
