After successfully killing the vampires that attacked tonight, at the same time they took care of the duchess who governs this region, Alex and Eri received a higher evaluation. Alex politely declined Celestine's invitation to attend a banquet; he didn't have the time for this kind of thing; naturally, Eri refused as well; unlike Alex, she knew the motive behind this banquet, what goal Celestine wished to accomplish.
After Alex and Eri subjugated the vampires, the attitude of the natives changed; they became more friendly; however, neither Alex nor Eri cared about this.
Night ended. The sun opened its eyes and shined on the horizon.
Alex and Eri walked with Celestine; they had finished eating their breakfast and immediately asked to leave. Naturally, Celestine was against it at first but soon saw that she could do nothing to stop them from leaving.
I wish you a great year.
