"Young miss, your tea." A young Vampire dressed in white and black maid clothes remarked while serving a cup of milk tea on a silver tray.
Claudia revealed a warm smile as she replied. "Thank you, please leave it on the table."
"Alright." The maid replied as she placed the cup of tea and then stepped aside with the silver tray.
Glancing at Claudia, she inquired. "Is there anything else you'd like, young miss?"
"No, thank you," Claudia replied before adding. "But do inform me the moment my father arrives."
"As you wish, young miss."
With that, the young maid excused herself and left Claudia alone in her father's study.
Due to the curtain being let down, the rays from the Lightbringer were unable to penetrate the large room, in its place, gas lamps placed at strategic locations sufficed for lighting.
The study, which was large enough to fit over a hundred people, was filled with various academic books with a few written by the master of the manor.
