Vivian slowly turned his head toward the voice and found the woman standing there, a woman with blue eyes like clear water and hair that matched the same calm color.
With her dress added in, she looked almost unreal, like someone who had stepped out of a painting.
He stared at her for a moment longer than he meant to, then spoke, keeping his voice steady.
"It's just an exaggeration. My name is Vivian D. Zenithara."
He gave Edward a small nudge.
Edward straightened up at once.
"My name is Edward D. Zenithara. It's nice meeting you," he said with a polite smile.
The woman didn't speak right away.
She simply looked at the two brothers, her eyes moving slowly from one to the other.
Vivian didn't miss the strange feeling crawling up his spine.
Something about her felt… off. Not dangerous, just different.
He could sense mana around her, but it was like trying to look through fog. Nothing was clear.
He kept quiet, watching her with a calm face.
