Chapter 260: Dance with Empress (3)
Epherene held onto Deculein’s back in the corridor of the old mansion, squeezing her eyes shut as she gripped his waist. Strange whispers came from the darkness—words she couldn’t understand, like murmured chants. Then, something cold brushed her neck—like a ghost's fingers slipping by in the dark.
“Hhhhhhhhhh...!” Epherene murmured, her body trembling.
However, as he walked through the corridor, Deculein remained composed, with not a shadow of fear in his eyes.

“Are w-we almost there, Professor? I f-feel like my heart’s g-going to explode,” Epherene asked, her voice shaking as she followed Deculein, frightened even by the sound of his footsteps.

At that moment, Deculein stopped, and Epherene thought they had finally arrived, only for another voice to come from the corridor.
“Professor,” said Knight Yulie.
Epherene flinched and opened her eyes.
“The sun has slipped behind the clouds. Is everything well?”
“All is well. But what are you doing here?” Deculein inquired.
