Wholly Undead 138 The Vampire Princess Arrives!

[Jack!] Leslie mentally messaged.

Jack looked to Leslie sitting on the couch. He wondered why her expression was dark.

Leslie could tell she had Jack's attention, and so, continued, [There are seven Giant Maned Bats heading here from the south.]

[Flyers?] Jack responded.

[Yes. My suspicions are that they were sent by the Vampires.] Leslie sounded weary.

[Are We talking weaponized or transportation?]

[You mean if they are a threat or diplomatic?] Leslie asked to make sure.

[Right.]

[I believe they are diplomatic from what my agents have seen. Ah! They are heading straight here to the Palace, wait... General Jacob is with them... Confirmed to have come from Jakahn.] Leslie's brows had long slammed into each other.

[Let's go welcome them.] Jack nodded, as he stood up. He looked to his Office.

"Alright, everyone. I just received reports that We have company. Seven Giant Maned Bats have just come from Jakahn. I believe We can all safely a.s.sume these are envoys of the Vampires. We should see to them."

"Leslie, Emily, and Lucius. You should stay here in the palace. Me and Julia will go greet them." Jack said as he reached the door, putting Emily down, in the corridor.

Jack floated backwards to look down, "Because I don't know the Vampires intentions."

Lucius and Leslie walked out, as Emily spoke, "I want to see what happens, too."

"I would, as well," Lucius spoke up in a rare event of inserting his whims.

"Find a window to watch from... I don't want you guys to hurt. So, find somewhere you can watch and hear, but not be seen." Jack spoke out to propose an agreement to make them happy.

Lucius and Emily nodded. Leslie had already departed, to what Jack figured was her room to a.s.sume her Banshee form.

Jack looked to Verruca, "Come Julia. I need to get dressed for the occasion."

Verruca didn't speak but smiled and nodded.

Jack walked to the Wardrobe room, that would lead to the Court. The double doors opened with a wave of his hand, as Verruca followed him in. He found that Leslie's Handmaidens where already waiting.

With some degree of familiarity, he was wrapped in his royal garbs. He stood silently as the Handmaidens stripped him bare. Verruca decided to look the other way, as she found herself gawking.

Jack didn't mind, as he had grown used to it. Now he stood in full regalia, as his Femur Ferula was carried to him by four Handmaidens. Jack lifted his hand to call the staff, as it sprang from its confinement and into his hand.

Jack didn't understand his form of telekinesis, but he did find it fun to use and d.a.m.n convenient. Jack floated out of the wardrobe and into the Court, flanked by Verruca who had a quickened pace, as Jack was much more quicker floating along, then walking.

Jack and Verruca entered into the Courtroom, just before the Holy Palace's Entrance, as Jack came to a stop.

"Holy Sentinels," Jack said normally, but it caused a buzzing in the area.

"I want half to guard Lucius and Emily, the rest provide back up to Warmarshal Verruca."

Another buzz of holy power, and then silence.

Jack nodded, while Verruca felt her heart warm slightly again. He then continued, until both of them exited the Palace, and stood just before the stares that led down to the Palace square, where stood the Monument of Shame.

[I really need to do something about that pile of skulls.] Jack thought, as he and Verruca faced the South.

Jack could see just at the edges of the Saigunrai's limits across the City, to the seven large flying bats coming.

[I did not expect them to come this fast... Jakahn put them up to this... Haaaa~] Jack could only sigh in his mind. How was he going to get out of this one?

Emily and Lucius wondered why Leslie didn't follow them, as Lucius knew the Holy Palace inside and out, he found a nice window facing the Palace Square. This was a place that had an even better view than Emily's old room, provided for the amba.s.sador. She still shuddered when she saw the Monument of Shame.

Leslie had informed the rest of her agents of the incoming visitors, and they moved about sealing the area for other... More unexpected situations.

The bats flew low into the city, as some of the citizens of Saigunrai pointed to the low flyers in astonishment. It wasn't unknown that Giant Bats could be used for transportation, but where incredibly difficult to be found on the Ruined Continent, and even more so incredibly difficult to breed for use.

Jack waited patiently when all the Bats flew down into the Palace square. He could see Obsignator Jacob hop off the back, with six other Vampires. These Vampires were the most human looking beings he had seen in his new unlife since his reincarnation.

[I've almost forgotten what humans look like... I mean I know they are Vampires, but they look d.a.m.n close beside the ears and the teeth... They kind of look goth, I guess.] Jack mused, as he seen the last Vampire, with help from a large st.u.r.dy Vampire dismount her bat. He could even see that this last Vampire fend off the st.u.r.dy Vampire to walk, although wobbly and unsteady, but walk never the less up the stairs to meet him and Verruca.

Jack tapped his Femur Ferula out of impatience and nervousness, but to the Vampires, they could only marvel at the imposingness of this Skeletal Tyrant.

Eris looked up the stairs, and into the flaming eyes of the Skeletal Tyrant... Her heartbeat quickened, and she wasn't sure what her heart was pumping... But it made her flush.

She spoke in a soft voice, that not even Jack could hear, "My G.o.d..."

Eris climbed the stairs, flanked by her Captain, his crewmates, and Jacob.

She made it to the top of the stairs and stood before the towering Skeleton Undead.

She looked up to him, as he looked down on her.

[Wow! She is some kind of hot... Is she the envoy?] Jack had a.s.sumed this woman wasn't the princess.

Jack decided to speak first, "Kneel before the G.o.d-King of Deagoth." Jack decided to test the waters with their reaction to him. He had to play his part.

He wasn't surprised when Jacob fell to his knee, but the other Vampires fell to theirs behind the female Vampire.

Jack watched as this female Vampire looked up to him, and he looked deeply into her eyes, as she approached him.

[If the other Vampires knelled... Why isn't see? Wait... That look in her eyes!]

She came closer, and Jack could see much more clear in her eyes... It was madness and l.u.s.t... Carnal desires, and a thirst for him... HIM!

[Wait just a d.a.m.n moment!] Alarm bells continuously rang in Jack's mind.

She held out her arms to reach her G.o.d-King... She wanted to touch him, be touched by him, be used, and sullied... She was ready... He looked so perfect... He was so close!

Jack searched his mind filling through everything he had ever remembered for this look until the word from his last life appeared in his mind...

[Yandere!]
