After a few minutes, Vanessa regained consciousness and noticed the situation. After dabbing a robe over her fabulous body, she sat beside the table, crossed her legs, and smiled.
"Looks like I can't let you go, now that you know my secret~!"
"...!"
Aster stiffened after hearing this. After all, despite his increase in level, he knew that he had no chance of winning against Vanessa in terms of strength. If she wished, he would have no choice but to stay locked in her room until god knows when.
"Pfft!"
But the serious atmosphere quickly collapsed as soon as she let out her stifled laughter.
"I was just messing with you. Being a vampire was a secret, but it's not worth that much. Even Magnus knows it."
"So you really were connected to the mayor?" Aster sighed, feeling a hint of relief.
"Yes. By lineage, he'll be counted as my older second cousin," she added with a finger to her chin. "After all, he's twice my age."
"Twice...?"
