Chapter 88: Identity
Crossroads City is rife with criminals, truly a lawless place.
Here, there are malevolent Ancient Black Dragons and evil Witch Demons, but both likely still lurk behind the scenes, not daring to appear openly. Anyway, Leon once asked a Tiefling girl who was showing him around, and she knew nothing about them, whereas Tassera knew so much, purely because she was well-informed.
Since there are Ancient Black Dragons and Witch Demons, it’s quite normal to have a Vampire. In fact, since vampires originally belong to the human race and especially pretend to be human, not to mention a place like Crossroads City, even the big cities in the Empire are probably full of them.
All in all, Edith is a vampire, and also a beautiful and elegant one, controlling a considerable part of the skin trade and jewelry transactions in Crossroads City, serving as an executive in the Nightfall Guild, a true midnight noble.
Indeed, she is not the top echelon of Crossroads City, her guild leader is closer to that, but she’s nevertheless a prominent figure in Crossroads City. Someone like her should not have to worry about feeding, in a place like Crossroads City where missing a few or a dozen people daily causes no ripple, but the truth is, she hasn’t fed in a long time.
As an elegant lady, Edith is undoubtedly very picky; the blood of handsome men can spark her interest, but in a place like Crossroads City, there are plenty of strong, fierce men and ugly monsters everywhere, but handsome men are rare, and for this reason, she hasn’t fed in a moon’s cycle and is starting to weaken.
If she still can’t find a handsome man, Edith has decided to target beautiful girls instead, insisting on beauty and elegance, rejecting ugliness.
Knock, knock, knock—
The knocking on the door suddenly sounded.
"Come in." Edith opened her eyes in the dark, her eyes reflecting light like a cat’s.
The blonde Chief Maid gently pushed open the door, glanced at the dark room with tightly drawn curtains where her master was sitting glamorously on the bed, and immediately bowed her head respectfully, saying, "Rita brought a man back."
