His fingers curled into his palms, nails elongated but only for a moment. "And it's your majesty for a king or a queen. Your highness is for a prince or princess." A little nit picky but the vampire kept pushing at him and he disliked it fiercely. "If you prove yourself useful with this ancient evil, I'll change my tune."
