“Unfortunately, I do. Remember, we are here to help day or night.”

“That chick kicks ass,” Meryn said, still absorbed with whatever she was looking at on her laptop.

“Lena, that was Meryn McKenzie. She is very impressed with you,” Kiera said, knowing how much Lena adored Meryn.

“Your Highness, I..I am only doing my job,” Lena stuttered a bit, a true testament to how nervous she was.

Meryn looked up, hearing Lena’s voice. “Do you take new clients?”

“If it is for you, Your Highness, I will start the paperwork tonight.”

Meryn turned to Aiden. “Move nugget’s money over.”

Aiden nodded. “Can I call you tomorrow to continue setting things up?”

“You can call anytime. I will handle the princess’ accounts personally,” she assured them.

“Rock on. I saw your notes and knew I needed someone as aggressively petty as you in my life.”

“I am humbled by your words.”

Meryn tilted her head, then looked at Kiera.

“She’s from Noctem Falls,” she explained.

Meryn’s mouth made a lil ‘o’. “I freaking love vampires. They always have the biggest dick swinging energy packaged in elegant language with hidden ‘fuck yous’ and smiles.”

“We do our very best,” Lena said.

“Lena, right?” Meryn asked.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Can I add you to my friend list?”

“It would be an honor.”

“Sweet.”

“Ms. Sorrel, I will ensure that your paperwork is submitted first thing. If you will excuse me, I will start on setting up, Her Highness’ accounts now.”

“Thanks Lena!” Meryn called out.

“Of course.”

Kiera saw the call disconnected. “You probably gave that poor woman a heart attack.”

“She’ll be fine. Anywho. Found some interesting stuff about your parents' accident.”

Kiera leaned forward. “What?”

“Dude that hit them, career alcoholic.”

“They were hit by a drunk driver.”

“Except toxicology came back clean. It was labelled a processing error, especially as the autopsy showed severe cirrhosis.”

“Anything else?”
