A rather built man appeared. "This the chic seeking an audience with Prince Vespasian?" He asked Amethyst. With a nod and a wink she turned back to the other customers.
"Follow me then. He is in his office." He told Scarlett and started heading out of the club and lead her down a few hallways that took many turns in many different directions, before finally stopping in front of a door. He knocked three times. "Enter." He opened the door. "Someone to see you Prince." The man said and stepped aside for Scarlett to enter.
"Ah, Ms.?MacAleister, do come in. That will be all, Bruce." With a nod, Bruce left, closing the door leaving Scarlett with the Prince. "May I get you a drink? What news do you bring me?"

MacAleister)
? Scarlett offered a bow to the prince. She had spent
plenty of years in service to the council of the Vampire Nation, so she knew
the proper protocols, though after all these years in exile it felt awkward.
Still, she was trying to rebuild once burned bridges and hoped to make an ally
of the new prince.
? After bowing, she nodded to his question, "A
drink? Yes, please your highness."
? Once she'd taken the glass from the prince, thanking
him for it, Scarlett proceeded with her story.
? "A short time ago I received a call from an
unknown person who said they wanted me to kill you. They deposited funds in my
account and promised more upon?competition?of the job. Despite my
refusal, they?persisted,?and I told them they would have my answer in
24 hours."
? ? Unsure how this news set with Prince Vespasian,
Scarlett quickly continued, "I come to you with this news with hope you
will be able to make use of it to find out who is seeking to kill you, my
prince. I am also here to pledge my allegiance to you and to offer any
assistance I can to find this individual."
