[ A few moments ago ]
Elizabeth was stunned beyond belief.
She watched, unable for a moment to reconcile what she was seeing with what she believed.
A few moments ago, the human she had deemed worthless—something barely above livestock—had been keeping up with her.
Her.
Elizabeth Crimson.
Queen of the vampires.
From playing around with Arthur at first to becoming absolutely serious in the fight against an inferior species—this was the first time in her entire lifetime such a thing had happened.
And the creature she had dismissed as inferior had fought her tooth and nail with everything he had.
He refused to yield.
He refused to break.
And against her own expectations—
She had started to respect that.
But she also knew he would not be able to keep it up for long.
She had seen it.
The desperation in his eyes.
Not the desperation of a coward.
But she also knew that no matter how strong a human was, they all had limits—and Arthur would reach his soon.
