He narrowed his eyes at the book. "Do you know much of your own history?" he asked.

(Sorry!)
Eztli shook her head. "No. I'm only starting to read about us. I wasn't allowed to read books for a long time, so now that I finally can, I'm trying to catch up on what I'm supposed to know. I'm quite the joke in my family. They say I'm the "innocent child" even though I'm less innocent in experiences than most of them…." She sighed, and her eyes turned a dusky blue. "At least while I'm stuck here, I can read all these books!" She perked up, her eyes turning cobalt. "Though I wonder why my Aunt and Uncle brought me along?"
"You could probably get out more," Victor joked. He barely grinned, and it faded immediately. "I suppose I might partake in studies with you." He glanced at her. "If you would not mind. Since I do not know my heritage I have had none to teach me."
Etzli tilted her curiously. "Why with me? Most everyone tends to avoid me, but ever since I came here, I've already met two people. And I don't go out a lot. I haven't been out of the estate mansion in many years."

Dominik and Ames found the palace washrooms, where the former proceeded to throw large handfuls of cold water over his face.
"My lord," Ames mumbled. "I think it would be in your best interest to find at least one ally among the others. Even if you end up being allies with the murderer, it has its advantages."
"You're right, but to tell you the truth I don't really want to become an ally with any of them." Dominik turned to lean on the sink, staring at Ames. "I'm quite happy with the business relationship we have with each other. Perhaps, if one of them approaches me first, I will consider it. Until then, I'm fine with the ally I have right in front of me." he threw a wink at his young butler, causing the boy to flush and sigh heavily.
"You know, if anyone else saw this, they'd think something was going on."
Dominik simply grinned, shrugged, flicked a bit of water in Ames' face, and sauntered out into the hallway. "Time to explore!"
Etzli tilted her curiously. "Why with me? Most everyone tends to avoid me, but ever since I came here, I've already met two people. And I don't go out a lot. I haven't been out of the estate mansion in many years."
Victor smiled softly. "You are not the only one who is alone. I will be glad of your company." He left her side, brushing the spines of the books as he went, inhaling softly at their scent.
Etzli shrugged and watched Victor curiously. "Why are you here?" She stood up and stumbled with her book to a table, letting it down with a soft thump.
He shrugged. "It was boring where I was. I heard reports of trouble and thought I should check it out. I also thought I might run into-." He stopped suddenly. "Nevermind," he muttered. "I just hoped I might meet someone."
Cambria ended the call she had been on without saying goodbye to her brother on the other side. She felt a bit better knowing that her family would be safe in their manor for the time being, but with the King's erratic behavior who knew what would happen within the next week. I could be without a head. Cambria grimaced as she carefully rubbed her neck. Not the way she wanted to die.
Sighing, she turned to the wardrobe where she had stashed her clothing. She would need to look her best for the ball tonight. As the Heir to her family, she had a reputation to uphold.
Verrian slipped out of the library, scowling as he watched others enter and converse. If they needed to be in there, couldn't they at least be a bit quieter. The stake was, of course, close, stashed in his messenger bag that hung at his side. It held a plethora of books, vials, and now the stake that killed his mother.
He made his way up the long stairs hat winded themselves up into where his room perched, at the tallest tower. A bird's eye view, he had always thought. Now, it would be his view to watch the nobles that were all acused of murdering the queen.
Klaus caught eyes of a smaller vampire sneaking away, and the noble glanced up from his book to make sure it was not an illusion. He had come earlier to relax and unwind, already looking his best for the ball. He had run home to put on a nicer tux and slacks, covering it in a robe with his house symbol.
He shut the book and rose from his seat, setting it back into the shelf as he snuck after the vampire who thought he could be sneaky. Klaus followed them up and up, all the way to the very top.
"What are you doing here?" He finally spoke after a few moments in an accusatory tone.
(He talking to Verrian?)
(Yis)
"This is where my room resides, what I should ask is why you are in the Royal wing of the palace. Shouldn't you be in your guest room?" Verrian said, not blinking, which would be weird, if he weren't a vampire.
"In the topmost tower? Nevermind, then," He murmured more to himself, shaking his head a little. "I just saw you sneaking away. I didn't know the royal wing was up this way." He shook himself out a bit and sighed. "The royal wing is just down there, right?" He asked, pointing out of the windows and to a lit up one of one of the nobles' rooms.
(Low key think it's hilarious that so many vampires were hanging out in the library. You nerds. lol XD)
(Well it's not my fault my guy is a total bookie, he's just almost me.)
"This is a continuation of the Royal wing, and yes, all the way up here." Verrian sighed, looking back towards the other vampire.
(Errriiiiisisssssss)
(Lol Dom XD)
(Yes Emi?)
"This is a continuation of the Royal wing, and yes, all the way up here." Verrian sighed, looking back towards the other vampire.
"Right. Well, I'll leave you to it, then." He quite liked the King's son; Prince Verrian. Of course Klaus heard very little of him, but he seemed like a nice kid-vampire-thing. Now to see his eyes totally broken from the loss of his mother was saddening. "Do you ned help keeping an eye on the nobles?" He inquired suddenly.
"That would be much appreciated. You honestly seem like on of the most competent ones here." Verrian said, deciding that Klaus could be of help to him. His fingers tapped against the bloodstone pendant hanging at his neck, it was a gift from his mother.
(I like how Klaus thinks Ver is a kid when he's about 6 thousand years old, lol.)
Etzli saw Verrian and waved a little bit. He seemed agitated, but she supposed that would be expected. She turned back to Victor and said softly, "Why don't we grab some books then go elsewhere? The prince looked annoyed…. It'll be better if we go somewheres we won't be disturbed and won't disturb."
Victor nodded but let his hand linger on the shelf for a little while longer. With a sigh he scanned the shelves until he found a few volumes that looked interesting to him. He pulled them down softly into his arms and with a look from Etzli he walked silently out of the room.
(Lmao)
"Competence is something that should be akin with our age," He murmured wisely, his nose pointed up slightly at the compliment.
"What would you like me to do, my Prince?"
Etzli quickly grabbed a couple of books along with her previous reading and stumbled out of the library after Victor. She trotted along beside him humming a lullaby softy and smiling.
(Lmao)
"Competence is something that should be akin with our age," He murmured wisely, his nose pointed up slightly at the compliment.
"What would you like me to do, my Prince?"
"Perhaps just observe for now." He mused out loud, arms crossed in thought. "Actually, I want to know who suspects who, it would help narrow down who actually killed my mother."
Victor turned to Etzli, who was still humming contentedly. A small smile twitched at the corner of his lips. "You are a funny one," he stated. "I like you."
