Chapter 59:
“Lady, Lord Murphy demands your immediate presence. He has important news to convey.”
Lady Adele hurried into a secluded tower in the city center and spoke softly to Lady Femis, who was studying some ancient scriptures.
The latter was so engrossed in her reading that Lady Adele’s words startled her, causing her to instinctively cover the book in her hands. This action made Lady Adele blink, but she did not react further.
“What is it again?”
Femis seemed to be in a foul mood, and her tone was somewhat unkind as she complained:
“I have never seen a vampire as troublesome as Murphy before. He is truly an oddity among us, not at all like a vampire, but rather like a human turning into a scheming, calculating plotter.”
“It’s about the current threat.”
Lady Adele did not express her opinion on this statement. Instead, she said in a low voice:
“Lord Murphy seems to have discovered a new danger approaching, and he needs you to be aware of everything. Lady Tris and he are already waiting for you at the front line.”
