Victor arrived at the Valentine military palace shortly after noon.
It was the same place where he had met Anette the previous day, one of the palaces farther from the Capital, used mainly for military meetings, private training, and matters Chysis preferred to handle away from the bustle of Headquarters. From the outside, the building looked like an ordinary noble residence, but Victor had already noticed that many of its rooms were protected by magical barriers and built to withstand confrontations between extremely powerful vampires.
This time, however, the reception was a little different.
As soon as he passed through the gates, two guards straightened their posture and bowed.
"Young Master!"
Victor looked at them and nodded calmly.
"Good morning."
