Chapter 451: [449] Request
The scene shifted to the floor beneath the top level of the building where Natsuki resided. August stood before the two women, his expression a mix of confusion and amusement.
This entire building, once an offering from the Lion King Organization, now belonged to August. Each of his close companions, including Beatrice, Yukina Himeragi, and Sayaka Kirasaka, had their own private rooms here.
The top floor, however, was reserved for August, Natsuki, and their personal circle.
After the tumultuous events of the Oceanus Grave I banquet, August had returned here to find two unexpected "guests."
"What's going on here?"
August turned toward Beatrice, raising an eyebrow. "I asked you to apply a little pressure on him. When did that turn into kidnapping his mediums?"
Meanwhile, Yuiri and Shio, the two women standing before him, kept their eyes fixed on August, their gazes filled with uncertainty and unease.
August had left a profound impression on them in the past. They still vividly remembered how he had effortlessly overpowered Kojou Akatsuki. Not only that, but Yukina Himeragi had singlehandedly subdued Kojou's familiars during that same battle—a feat that should have been impossible for someone of her abilities.
Both women, being sword shamans of the Lion King Organization and Yukina's seniors, were well aware of her potential. While talented, Yukina could never hope to defeat a Primogenitor's familiar on her own. The reason for her success was clear—the man standing before them.
Just earlier, a female vampire had appeared out of nowhere and subdued Kojou, the Fourth Primogenitor, once again. What's more, the vampire had forcibly taken Yuiri and Shio away right in front of him.
Adding it all up, it seemed Kojou, the so-called Fourth Primogenitor, had never truly defeated anyone. Could this so-called "Primogenitor" title be nothing more than an exaggeration?
