บท 119: Thirst for blood- Part 2

When Madeline and Calhoun arrived back in the castle, she wasn't sure if Sophie had returned to the castle with Theodore or if they were still in the market. With just two of them now walking down the empty corridor, Madeline couldn't help but remember what Calhoun said about the mind being loud when a person was in a quiet place. 

The maids and other servants who were working in the castle stopped by to bow their heads at them. 

"How many times did you get poisoned?" she asked him curiously. 

"A couple of times in a year or two," Calhoun who was looking ahead, shifted his eyes to look at her who had turned to look at him.

Madeline wondered if Calhoun didn't worry about death because he appeared to be calm about it or maybe it happened too often that he didn't care about it. Noticing the look of worry that came to shadow over her face, Calhoun took great pleasure in it. 

"Why do you look troubled?" he asked her, one corner of his lips pulled up.
