The morning hasn't really come yet, but early morning activities for vampires were common things. They didn't really need sleep, even though Duke Arthur Dubois usually had a daily sleep schedule like humans. This time he was in his study which had a long wooden table and carved chairs.
The governor and the Florentine military officers serving in Lapella—asked to meet. Just now in the next town, in the never-deserted Kirogar district—there was an incident involving Shadows.
Arthur must have been so focused on work that he just found out about it. Shadows in the center of the peaceful state of Lapella? Arthur had never expected that before.
Shadows only move on Avalon's orders. However, Avalon military officials had given official confirmation that the incident was not their doing. Even so, they didn't deny that they had a secret dungeon where they kept dozens of Shadows of a different type than what Florentians usually met.
