Unable to withstand being in the same room at close proximity with his step brother, Vance resorted to having his meal inside his chamber, until at least he was stable mentally and physically, which Melva had no way to tell because he was never stable. The two of them were now back to eating in peaceful silence, served only by his most loyal butler, Wilber who seemed to never question his every odd decision and comply without hesitation. It raised a question in her mind: what Vance had ever done to him to possibly make a human this loyal.
Wilber was a human and that made him no older than fifty years. If he had been serving Vance since young, then he must have known about him feeding on human flesh. However, it seemed like he was staying here out of his own will, unlike Melva who had no other choice. And it was not only him, the other maids and butlers were also very willing to work for him. It was still a mystery unsolved in her mind.
