Outside the gate, Elion's rather scandalous exploits had naturally not gone unnoticed.
While the Vampires waited for their turn to enter, Dimitri went straight toward Edmund and Valentina to complain, his already sharp and sunken eyes looking even gloomier than usual.
"Elder Edmund! He dares to act so familiar with other women, knowing that we're here! Is the Princess not enough for him!? Is he not aware that his actions tarnish the princess' reputation!? How dare he!"
"Calm yourself, young one," Valentina said.
Dimitri looked toward her.
"We were already informed about this. Elion had other women long before becoming betrothed to the Princess, and forcing him to break those relationships was completely out of the question."
She paused briefly.
"But make no mistake. I am certain that he loves and cares for the Princess dearly, and it isn't particularly unusual for someone of his stature to have a harem. I'm sure you understand that."
Dimitri gritted his teeth.
