Vampire Queen is assassinated, and there is reason to believe they will target the Princess as well. Since the King was not born into the royal family, only married the Queen, should something happen to the Princess before she produces an heir, he will have to step down and let the Old King take the throne again. To prevent this, he arranged a marriage immediately, not even giving his daughter time to mourn her mothers death. Upset and angry, she ran away with the help of her only friend and servant. She fled to the nearest large city, and remained in hiding there until she saw an Infected making a scene at the blood bank, complaining about how small the blood rations are getting, and that he wouldn't be able to get through the week on what they were giving him. After seeing him thrown out of the building for threatening them, she followed him, and after seeing that he was planning to hunt a human (a very illegal thing to do) she stopped him. Since he was close to starving, his control was slipping and he attacked her, pinning her to the wall of the alley they were in, and almost choking her. Despite this she still just held up her blood rations for him and desperate, he let her go and drank it. Afterwards once he'd calmed down he realized what he'd done and apologized, as well as asked how to repay her. She told him that it was okay and she didn't need him to repay her, but he insisted and asked for her number so he could get in touch with her. When she said she didn't have a phone he asked where she lived then, and she admitted to not having anywhere to live. He told her he'd repay her by letting her stay with him until she finds a place of her own. Again, she tried to object, but he refused to let her live on the streets while he was in debt to her, so she eventually agreed and went with him.
