the king is a vampire, yes. 

i had forgotten the name i originally planned for the kingdom 
but i suppose we can call it the Xewyth Empire
(used a generator : http://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/kingdom-names.php#.VqQQmfkrLIU )

and either a prince or a king is fine, although we do need a king. i just want the important roles filled first and then we can work our way from there.
