She cried so sorrowfully.
Since they parted in the mountains, Yu Zhizhi had been worried sick about Dracula. When she heard what the Duke was reading and realized he was in trouble, the tears just wouldn't stop.
But the Duke said she was crying too soon...?
Yu Zhizhi's sobs came to a sudden halt. Sniffling, she lifted her tear-filled eyes to the man seated across from her.
He was dressed in a loose, deep-purple robe and held a newspaper in his hand. His golden, vertical pupils were fixed on her as an attendant beside him poured a cup of black tea.
The Duke continued to read.
"The Moonlight Array beneath the mountain forest was activated. The leader of Cang Country vanished in plain sight, his whereabouts unknown."
"The Sun and Moon Dual Formation..."
"Quite the impressive feat."
An unfriendly smile touched the Duke's lips.
...Vanished.
Yu Zhizhi repeated the word in her mind.
A glimmer of hope sparked within her.
