Chapter 117: Carmella the Vampire

"Does this have something to do with the Hunchback?" Maximilian inquired, his voice steady and devoid of visible emotion. Eve couldn't help but feel a flicker of surprise at his composed response. There was no trace of anger in his eyes, leading her to wonder if he was adept at concealing his true feelings or if he had simply mastered the art of emotional restraint.

However, she quickly reminded herself that Maximilian was a vampire, a being who had lived for centuries, honing the skill of masking his thoughts and emotions. It was only natural for him to possess such control.

"It appears that you have been well-informed about what truly transpired," Eve acknowledged, her tone calm and measured. Earlier, they have not exactly delved deeper into the matter. She had anticipated this revelation, considering Casimir's unwavering loyalty to the Prince.
