“What did you request for Troy to bring?” I asked.
“Our luggage, Milady.” Gabriel looked at me as if it was obvious.
“Ah, the traveling wardrobe I never get to wear?”
“And what is the harm in that? My preferred outfit dates the beginning of time.”
He meant he preferred me naked in the most confusing way possible, but it didn’t take long for everyone else to figure it out as well. My red lobster days of embarrassment have returned, and I wished to hide inside this couch and reemerge upon the plane’s arrival in the US.
“Sire, the plane is prepared for lift-off. Let us know when you are ready,” said the pilot.
“I believe we are ready,” said Gabriel.
“Must the pilot always ask permission?” I asked.
“If they want to continue enjoying their immortality.”
That was harsh. “You remind me of His Majesty, Vlad the Impaler.”
“Well, I learned from the best. In a society of predators, it is not enough to be the strongest or the most difficult to kill. Character stands above all.”
“Sire, the deal with London must be taken care of today,” said the blonde woman. Most likely, one of his assistants.
“One moment, please,” Gabriel said. He then turned toward me. “Do you mind if I talk business for some time?”
Surprised by the sudden attention, my mind went blank for a moment. But Gabriel didn’t seem to be bothered by it.
“Um, I don’t mind.” I turned to the small table next to me. “Look, I’ll take this magazine and skim through it. And
I’ll eat this berry candy.”
“No,” all of them interjected.
I dropped the candy.
“Excuse our reaction, but this treat is not meant for humans, Milady,” Gabriel said.
“Why? It looks just like a gummy.” And then it dawned on me.
“It is indeed a gummy, but it is infused with blood. You might get away with eating one, but more will hurt your stomach,” said Gabriel.
“What about the rose champagne? Is it also mixed with…”
“Yes. Our planes have always catered to our specific needs. But do not worry. We will remedy that,” said Gabriel. “Bella, please bring an ordinary champagne bottle and some snacks for Milady.” He addressed the flight attendant.
“You know her name?” I asked.
“I know all my subjects’ names.”
The man had assumed the best parts of being a ruler.
After the flight attendant brought my glass, I downed it and requested another.
“You might want to take it a bit slower, Milady. The flight is another ten hours. We wouldn’t want you to get sick.”
“I was just thirsty,” I said. “I forgot my UW water bottle at home,” I said without realizing I used the word “home” to describe the Bra?ov castle.
Gabriel grinned. “Bella, Milady forgot her water bottle at home. Can you bring her a cup of water as well?”
