TEASER CHAPTER 8 PART 40
The reception room of
the Francilt mansion was quiet, as if time had come to a stop.
Victor and the others
looked surprised, and Vitora smiled meaningfully, as if to say, "They have
finally arrived".
Following this,
Victor's face, which had been filled with surprise, turned grim all at once.
Irisdina took a step
forward while passing the indignant glare directed at her from her own father.
"I am very sorry
for the sudden intrusion of your meeting, but we sisters would like to join you
here."
"This place is
off limits to anyone other than those who are authorized to be here. Mena, take
these girls outside now."
Despite his anger, he
did not raise his voice, which could be said to be a good thing.
However, his low
voice, which sounded as if he was trying to stifle his anger, was filled with
heaviness and anger that seemed to resonate in the pit of his stomach.
"Isn't it fine?
The girls were originally involved in this. And those determined eyes. Very
much to my liking."
The vampire princess
stopped Victor and the others as she smiled with amusement.
Her gaze was already
on the two girls who had interrupted this meeting, not on Victor.
Perhaps under the
influence of Vitora's magic, the fire in the reception room's fireplace had
already gone out, and it was as cold as it had been outside.
"Hmm, I probably
don't need to ask this now, but I will in case I do. Why did you come
here?"
"We're here
because of the new agreement between our family and Vitora-dono."
"I see you have
been listening to what we've been talking about. I understand what it
means."
"Wait! I refuse
to approve this!"
Victor's mask, which
he had been desperately trying to wear, came off.
"Yeah, your
resolve is good, but unfortunately, your importance dropped when these girls
arrived here."
Victor's rage was so
intense that it seemed as if it would blow away the freezing cold. But even his
anger was being brushed off by the vampire princess with a thin smile and a
grin.
Her gaze was fixed on
Irisdina and Somia. But they both noticed that Vitora's gaze was fixed on
another human being through them.
"And I assume you
are aware of this, young girl?"
"Yes, you are not
looking at us either. He is the only one you are looking at."
"Yes. My main
interest is that Dragon Slayer. I honestly don't care about anything
else."
At the mention of the
word "Dragon Slayer" clearly from Vitora's mouth, Irisdina's
expression turned grim.
"... As I
thought, you knew he is a Dragon Slayer."
"Yeah, your
political enemy, ...... or whatever it's called, well, his aide, a woman named
Mekria, told me about it using a familiar."
"So, what did she
want from you, in exchange for that?"
"None. She only
told me that Nozomu Bountis is a Dragon Slayer and that he was the one who had
defeated my best retainer."
The vampire princess
easily disclosed the information regarding the one who informed her about the
existence Dragon Slayer.
Vitora glanced at
Rugato, and the old butler bowed his head in affirmation of his master's words.
