Valerie hadn't been introduced to Chloe at all. She couldn't guess. Who was she? What was she doing here? If she was a knight serving the Chastain family, why was she a pureblood vampire? Or was she one of the relatives who still had Chastain blood?
What was clear, Chloe's gaze was now not as friendly as before. The girl who looked cheerful earlier now took out the Karabela sword that used to be used by people living in the desert area. It was a large and heavy-looking sword. According to Valerie, the sword didn't really fit the tiny Chloe. But the girl caught her breath and made a stance while preparing her sword. Chloe gave off an aura of intimidation that was perhaps more so than any other knight she had ever met.
Valerie didn't want to play around either. She must not forget her main intention after getting a second chance at life. She must reach a high position in Florentia. That meant she had to be stronger.
