[A few minutes before Red made her move.]
Drake's full attention from the beginning is on Red; that's why he sees everything happening. I need to be patient if I want to save Red. With this in mind, Drake waited for the opportunity.
"The moon is in its fullest, now is the time!" the priestess declared and sliced Drake's wrist. She drifts the blood into a black goblet while putting the necklace on the tree's root.
When the moon's rays hit the very center of the tree, the priestess began to mutter. This is also the moment when Red makes her move.
"Red Dimitri!" Victoria fiercely screamed when she saw the form of her subordinate- it was the same as Catherine when she died. That's why the pent-up and suppressed anger finally came out. With lightning speed, Victoria dashed towards Red while her claws were ready to slash.
Drake appeared just a second before Victoria's claws hit Red's neck.
