Seraphine could barely make out Clifford's candle-lit face through her blindfold.
Just a moment ago, he returned to the backstage without Clement. His absence alone had made her highly suspicious of the adult. His younger brother did tell her earlier that he would be the one to bring her to the event place. But at that time, he was nowhere to be found.
Only until Clifford forced Seraphine to inhale something incredibly dizzying did she get to realize that she thought right – he had abandoned Clement to deal with her and Eric by himself.
The sedative was not that strong to knock her unconscious, but it was enough to render her extremely weak. She is almost paralyzed - stuck in a hazy state like a dream. All she could do was watch helplessly as he carried her bridal-style, her hands bound in a pair of metal chains all the while.
"Seraphine…?! W-What's happening…? Seraphine!" was what Seraphine recalled hearing from Eric as she got taken away by Clifford.
