Ophis Dracula's POV
Ding~Dong
The midnight hour struck as the clock chimed.
My ears twitched at once, though I forced myself to remain still.
I, who was acting like I was asleep, cracked open my eyes the faintest bit, stealing a glance.
Leo sat there, his face hardening into something far more serious than his previous crying face.
His eyes shifted, and for a fleeting second, they slid toward me.
I immediately closed my eyes.
Then came the rustle, the sound of him moving, pushing away the chair and stepping quietly out of the room.
Was he… taking a bath at this hour? Strange. I was surprised. Usually, he would simply slip into those dark clothes of his, dressing like some thief, and vanish into the night to hunt for her.
How did I know?
Of course, I knew... after all, I had been watching silently all this time.
"Believe me. I'm not going to do anything reckless again. Everyone's safe now… right? Trust me on this."
