After the duel, Victor brought Vlad to his office in the Main Building.
'Vlad enrolled in the academy through Lord Cendral's recommendation letter,' Victor thought, resting his chin on both hands as his narrowed eyes remained fixed on Vlad, who was sitting on the other side of the table. 'Then he became Lady Seraphina's bloodbond and even joined the Student Council. He has also formed a party with Lady Seraphina.'
He stared intently at Vlad's crimson eyes, causing Vlad to flinch awkwardly. 'Th-those red eyes. Co-could he be... a vampire sent by Lord Cendral to protect his daughter? The whole D-Rank and commoner story might as well be a disguise.'
"Umm... Professor," Vlad called, feeling awkward under his relentless gaze. "Could you tell me why you have brought me here? It surely isn't to stare at me like an exotic species."
