In the room Ruby was in before.
A tall man and a tall woman were looking at each other.
Victor was looking into the golden eyes of the tall woman.
"...You've become a Count, huh..." That was the first thing she said.
Chomp, Chomp.
"Well, yes?"
"...And you are responsible for the exploration of this world..." The woman spoke as she tossed her long hair back.
Chomp, Chomp.
"Yes." He replied in a neutral tone.
"Which means you've become my neighbor..." Eleanor continued.
"...?" Victor looked at Eleanor in confusion since he didn't know how she came to that conclusion.
Chomp, Chomp.
Eleanor's eyes narrowed, and she looked at the little girl who was on Victor's lap and was drinking blood from Victor's wrist:
"I see that you are close to the youngest princess..." Eleanor spoke and then continued in a low voice, "Closer than you should be." She looked at Victor with an accusing gaze.
