As these two events coincided, the white-haired woman guarding the door couldn't help but spring to Franca's mind again.
Could they be part of the same group?
Was it coincidence, or was it an order?
With the situation unclear, Franca directly spoke up to ask.
With the first phase of Spiritual Energy heart-crossing initiated, Franca unsheathed her Longsword, her boots stomped swiftly, and within a few flashes, she had reached Bai E's side. Their swords—a noble's rapier and the Bloodletting Vampire's greatsword—met head-on to ward off an attack, and only then did she lean back-to-back with Bai E.
The young miss turned her head sideways, her gaze sharp, "Should I call you Bai E, or should I address you as Your Lordship?"
"Perhaps Bai E would suffice?" Bai E pursed his lips, a smile on his face, even taking the time to jest, "Things are a bit tricky."
