Everyone in the room waited for Marceline's answer as if sitting on needles and heard the young vampiress answer, "No."
Lady Aurora's eyes narrowed at the young vampiress's words. Did the councilman fail to relay her words to this naive young vampiress? Even Bryon turned slightly worried with the way Marceline refused. He was sure the woman would agree to it on the first try. He picked the next question, while Clayton quietly sat there witnessing the beginning of the interrogation.
Bryon questioned again, "Did you see anything unusual that particular day? One of your maids told us that you inquired about a carriage that didn't move from the front of your mansion's gates for a long time. Can you tell us a little about it?"
Marceline gave a nod. She then explained, "Father and mother weren't at home. They had to attend a soiree and they left with my younger sister Allie."
