章節 292: Nowhere to go

Vincent walked up to where Patrick stood, an unnerving smile greeting the human that sent shivers down the latter's back. The pureblooded vampire placed his hand on Patrick's shoulder and said, 

"How are you doing, Humphrey?" 

Patrick Humphrey looked nervous. After Marquee Hooke's daughter, Rosetta Hooke, had insulted him, he had gone to the market and returned home in a foul mood. All he wanted was to enjoy his supper in peace, when someone knocked on his door and said he was summoned to Moriarty's mansion. 

To the question asked by Vincent, Patrick didn't know how he was supposed to feel, while partly he couldn't get his eyes off such a magnificent mansion where he had only seen the ballroom and the hall once. On one side, Vincent was smiling at him as if he was going to be sacrificed, and on the other hand, a young vampiress in the room looked familiar, but he couldn't point out where he saw her.
