Kapitel 74: Chapter 4: The Pool

The grandeur of Raphael's mansion unfolded before Lucien's eyes as he followed Blaise through the sparkling halls. Beautifully carved marble statues adorned the corners, their nude forms sensual and attractive. Tall pillars, entwined with delicately carved vine patterns, rose toward the vaulted ceiling, casting dancing shadows upon the polished marble floor. Lucien couldn't help but be awed by the sheer splendor of it all.

Their path led them to a secluded room, bathed in soft light. A crystal-clear pool stretched out before them, shimmering under the gentle glow of dimmed lanterns. The sound of cascading water falling from small man-made waterfalls filled the air, making it feel serene despite the fact that Lucien knew this was a vampire's mansion. Adjacent to the pool, a luxurious hot tub beckoned them to come relax.
