Chapter 72: Lingering eyes
The very second face Arabella had set her eyes upon after Lord Edward had been a foreign yet somehow familiar one.
Eyes and hair dark as coal, the vampire even towered over Lady Persephone when standing tall.
The grin he offered held no warmth as he patiently waited for the Lady to stop in front of him.
"Lord Dragomir," Persephone greeted him, smiling and bringing her hands together downward by the skirt of her gown, earning her a graceful outlook.
The name Dragomir resounded, bouncing off the inner walls of her skull, more familiar to the young woman than his face was.
However, and right behind him stood a young man that Arabella immediately recognized as Lauden who gave a slight bow upon making eye contact. He was none other than the vampire she’d encountered in Mr Kallum’s shop.
The connection was easy to make after that as he’d mentioned working for the Dragomir family that same night.
"Radiant as always, Lady Persephone," the Lord held out his hand then brought it towards his own lips the instant Persephone took it, "And who do we have here?"
Releasing Persephone’s hand, Lord Dragomir turned his attention towards the entertainers behind the Lady. Though he’d mainly focused on Arabella.
