Bab 390: Quietness of the oncoming storm

Music Recommendation: Come Home- The Newton Brothers

—

In Moriarty's mansion, where most people had retired to their rooms because of the cold weather and time, a few were still awake. The snow continued falling slowly from the sky. 

Eugene sat in the chair placed right next to Rosetta's bed, where the young vampiress had finally fallen asleep after her words had trailed into incoherent words. He stood up and placed the chair back where it belonged. 

"Eugene," Rosetta called his name, and he wondered if she had woken up from her sleep. 

"Lady Rosetta?" Eugene returned near the bedside, only to notice the vampiress was talking in her sleep. 

"…gene, stay with me. I will… protect you…" Rosetta mumbled in her sleep.
