After the unexpected words from Lucian, Kanna went quiet as she kept walking ahead with measured steps, her expression still unreadable, though her mind was anything but calm.
Beside her, Lucian followed in silence, lost in his own thoughts as he wondered who this Duchess was, quietly observing the corridor around him.
The maid beside him was already far stronger than him.
He could feel it, even without checking her status window. He was certain of it—especially after she had put on his clothes without him even noticing when she moved.
And if she was this strong, then this Duchess would be far stronger than her.
And according to Kanna's words…
She was the strongest vampire in the world, second only to the Vampire Queen herself.
And yet, strangely enough—
Instead of fear or hesitation, he felt something closer to anticipation and curiosity about the meeting, far more than the uneasiness he should have felt in this situation.
