Bang!
A sudden, loud, and sharp noise was transmitted from the side of the wall.
In the next split second, all everyone could see was the vampire king hugging a crying little human girl in his embrace, protecting the little girl from the dust and debris that suddenly flew all around. It was then that everyone realized that Duke Windsor had disappeared from his position.
Where could such a big man go? Where did he so suddenly disappear? Why did he so suddenly disappear?
"Are you okay, Vera?" Caius asked ever so gently, patting the little girl's thin back to calm her down and soothe her sadness. "Do not be afraid."
The little girl's flushed cheek was sticking to the silver-haired man's torso as she sobbed lightly. Her little body was trembling in his arms.
She must be very scared.
Caius lightly kissed the top of the little girl's head and gently wiped off the tears on her face.
Her tears felt like needles digging into his skin.
