Maximilian gripped the man even harder and snapped his neck in one try. Edna screamed in surprise at the sound of the neck bones breaking. The blood pouring down the masked man's neck splashed onto the floor of her room.
Maximillian threw the lifeless body aside. The man threw it away so easily. Seeing it, Edna's body greatly shook. She could see that her master's nails were elongated red. Whether it was the original color of her master's fingernails or the color of blood splashed from the neck of the masked man who attacked her before, she didn't know.
Maximillian drew closer to Edna who was sitting on the bed. The boy was still shaking with fear. The sweet smell of blood that he had smelled earlier was now swept away by a disgusting scent like that of rotting trash. The masked man's blood covered the sweet scent of his servant's blood.
"Eden," Maximillian called.
"Y-yes, Sir?"
