"I hope you know what you're doing," Lorel's father said to her quietly as people began to filter out of the hall.
"What's best for us, father," Lorel answered, as she had been raised to, bowing her head. Her father smiled and gripped her shoulder, giving her an affectionate shake.
"You always do," he said. "Now, go get ready. You know what you must do on a blood slave's first night."
Nodding, Lorel bowed and dismissed herself, hurrying off from the straggles of vampires to climb the steps to her room, taking them two at a time. If she had a heartbeat, no doubt it would be going double time. Alone as she climbed the steps, she allowed herself one short victorious grin before she wiped it from her face, slowing her pace and ascending with the ladylike manner she'd been taught. Still. Tonight was going to be... interesting.
