章 420: Chapter 419: A Creature of Night and Blood

Leone PoV

Mother led me through the quiet halls of the Palace, her grey feathered dress blending in with the dim lighting that Mom preferred for her home.

Her silent steps and calm, serious demeanor fit perfectly for the atmosphere, and I couldn't help but fidget slightly as I noted that we were heading towards the lesser utilized portion of the Palace, where each of my Aunts were given their own courtyards to use if they pleased.

None of which were ever used, as they all wanted to live as close to Mom as they possibly could, for various reasons...

However, they were perfect for storage and places away from the world, since no one - not even the servants - were allowed inside; only the woman they were assigned to and her immediate blood.

And Mom, of course, since she set up the seals.
