"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."
