Keir

"Your highnesses, thank you for meeting me here." Keir nodded respectfully upon seeing his future wife and brother-in-law. His eyes then rested on the crown prince. "I fully understand your concern, but I only ask for a quiet conversation with your sister. I promise that I won't lay a hand on her and you have every right to watch us from afar."
Despite his calm demeanor, Keir was delighted with the princess undeniably fine boned features that were a rare sight in humans. Even he, who praised to treat everyone equal regardless of whether the person was good looking or not, admired her beaming eyes. Yet, he had to remind himself that she still was a human princess, not a vampire and that beauty was fleeting. He had witnessed the birth and death of too many fair creatures to concentrate on such a trivial matter. This time he purely hoped for them to build a strong connection based on mutual interests rather than looks.

Kane

Wow. Ashlyn looked gorgeous. Kane raised his eyebrows in surprise while giving her outfit the once-over.
"You don't look too bad either", he replied, still taking in her sudden transformation. Girls really did look another person with a bit of makeup and a beautiful dress. Not that he would mention that to Ashlyn, who was beaming with happiness.
Instead, he gently took her hand and led her outside the apartment, excited to see how people were going to react to them.

Keir

He was told to wait outside the door until the princess would ask for him to enter the room. If he didn't obey, they couldn't guarantee a peaceful encounter. At least that is what the doorkeeper repeated to Keir over and over again. Keir himself agreed without hesitation and reassured them that he had no intentions to agitate the princess. After all, he had plenty of time to spare, as for the moment, his main pursuit was marriage.

"Let her know that I will wait outside in the private garden. I do not want to bother her in her own room for we are not yet husband and wife."

Kane

Finishing his look with his favourite Nike shoes, Kane studied himself in the mirror. He took taking one of those typical couple selfies in front of the mirror and post it on Instagram and Facebook into consideration, but immediately ruled out the idea. He couldn't imagine her to be nearly as passionate about social media as Joanna was and didn't want the latter to see through their deception. Joanna might be the infamous party girl of the town, but that didn't make her oblivious to the world around here. No, if he planned to convince her, he would stick with their original plan. Their appearance in the well-patronised pub would set the premise for more.
In lieu thereof, he left he room and softly knocked on Ashlyn's door.
"Ashlyn darling, are you ready to rock the party?"

Keir

On the stroke of midnight Keir stood in front of the gates of his future wife's castle. His and her advisers hadn't agreed on a specific time, hence why he chose the early hours. He understood that human preferred the daylight and some even feared the dark, however he prioritized absolute privacy over comfortableness. He didn't want other humans to eavesdrop on their conversations and tell their own tales to their neighbours and friends, making up wild stories and fatal accusations. For the most part he could barely stand the toxicity of his own kin, let alone human fantasies. No, it was absolutely essential for the two to meet at this exact time, when everyone else was fast asleep.

"Your highness, what an honor to invite you into our house. Please, come in and be our guest." An older man in a black robe, who Keir estimated to be around 50 years old, interrupted his train of thought and ushered him inside. Keir acknowledged his hospitality with a simple nod and then followed the man.
"My name is Janitor and I am the gatekeeper of this beautiful castle", the man continued their conversation and chuckled for a second, before he said "and you must be terribly hungry after your exhausting trip. Can I offer you -" He didn't get to finish his sentence as Keir slowly raised his hand.

"Thank you for your generosity, dear - Janitor. But I'm still full from my last meal."
Their eyes met for a brief second, before Janitor flushed and dropped his gaze. "I understand, your highness. I am sorry, I shouldn't have bothered you with this offer. I didn't mean to insult you or other vampires in any way."
Keir shook his head in amusement, placing his right hand on the gatekeeper's back. "There is no reason for concern. Please just bring me to the Princess. I would like to speak to her."

Kane

His gaze followed her as she left the room. For a second he contemplated calling her back, but abandoned the idea. She had her own issues to deal with and needed the time to realise the actual impact their liaison would have on them as best friends. Yet, they had agreed to take this risk for the sake of his former relationship and he admired her for her courage and selflessness. As soon as he and Joanna called each other 'lovebirds' again, he would make it up to her. Maybe he could take her to Paris? Kane couldn't think of a single girl, that didn't have the Eiffel tower and not to mention Disneyland on their bucket list. Ashlyn could capture these memories on her camera and share the colourful photographs with her American relatives, who would write "amazing" and "OMG" in the group chat. At least in Kane's imagination. He had never met a friendlier and more open-minded person than Ashlyn and used her background as an explanation for her bubbly and energetic personality, even though he was fully aware of the fact that she had spent most of her teenage years in Britain.

Kane

"Are you referring to my birthday?", Kane asked jokingly, fully aware of the fact that she had hinted at some millionaires lavish anniversary celebration. He couldn't quite remember who had managed to receive an invitation from the rich couple, but he could fully recall how they had spend hours exploring the well-kept secret of the villa: A wine vault. Obviously just for research purposes. With a chuckle, he put his shirt on and then turned around to Ashlyn.
"Well then, go and catch your dress. We have an important party to attend." He winked at her, pure amusement written on his face.

Keir

"I can't believe that you're marrying a human princess. An actual human being." Keir's eldest sister emerged in the doorway, an amused look softening her high cheekbones.
"You should smile more often, Louaine. It suits your features." Keir made a few steps towards her. He opened his right hand to reveal the small item, that he had kept hidden inside it. Louaine gasped, reaching her hand out to touch the smallest diamond ring she had ever seen. Unlike human engagement rings, this one didn't seem to consist of anything but this one beloved gemstone, a small piece of art made by the royal blacksmith, a Vampire himself.

"Do you think she will be fond of it? When I commissioned Lord Dart to create it, he raised his doubts. He believes that a human and especially a princess can only be content with the priciest one of them all. Yet I have never been an advocate of needlessy worldly possessions and never will be."
Louaine traced the pattern with her fingers, before she took a step back. "Don't fret. I have never seen such a delicate design, that could only fit the hand of a graceful future Queen. Are you going to propose to her tonight?" Despite her calm voice she was clearly bursting with curiosity and Keir couldn't blame her. Never before had a Vampire prince even contemplated forging a bond with a human princess, but difficult times required life-changing measures.

"I need to do what is right for our future. This alliance is crucial to live in peace. But first, I would like to become acquainted with her."

Kane

"That is fine, tell anyone you need to tell." Kane reassuringly pressed her hand, before he got up to find a suitable shirt for tonight's adventure inside his wardrobe. He grabbed the first one he saw from the stack. Ashlyn knew him too well. Her question hadn't surprised him, yet he decided to not respond to it. Play it cool.
Taking off his office shirt, he looked at himself in the mirror. His dark eyes stared right back at him, an expression of pain and determination showing on his face. The dark circles around his eyes spoke volumes, his mouth resembling a grotesque Venetian mask. Were his emotions this easy to read? Kane knew, that he couldn't lay his feelings bare, if he planned to win Joanna back.
"What are you going to wear tonight?", Kane asked Ashlyn, smiling at her reflection.

I'll respond tomorrow, as I've been quite busy with Uni and German RPGs today :)
