"I—" Diana tried to speak and was surprised to hear her voice. She tried moving a finger. Sadly, this time it did not work. "Your Highness…" she wondered if she could scream. However, she quickly realized that screaming would be useless. Vampires are known for their speed. She was certain that the moment she attempted to raise her voice, this vampire would be able to finish her.
Maximilian smiled at her. He then looked around her laboratory, curiosity filling his gaze. The table in front of Diana somehow felt a little smaller, and the parts that she had been trying to assemble looked rather dull at this very moment.
The silence that followed almost made her suffocate. For some reason, she found this silence just as loud as her heartbeat. Why was she so scared? Where did this emotion come from? Diana had always relied on her logic, and right now, it is easy to understand that Maximilian is currently outnumbered in this building.
