That night, Murphy received a message from Milian.
She had completed three days of negotiations with the financial representatives of the Nordtoff Kingdom and signed memoranda and a series of clauses. She was set to return to Crimson Castle after dinner that evening.
Murphy was quite satisfied with this.
The red-haired Milian was becoming more and more suitable for her role. The illegitimate daughter of a village chief who once despised vampires was now able to represent the Vampire Lord without any psychological barriers, truly participating in the "continental politics" that once seemed out of her reach.
Compared to her progress, his and Maxim's and Adel's performance in the area of "progress" was rather worrisome during this period.
So, could the legend be true?
