Henrik's gaze scrutinized the doll, his suspicion lingering like a shadow. How could this small, seemingly insignificant, and unpleasing object be the key to his protection?

Eve, undeterred by his skepticism, offered a reassuring smile. "It will protect you once," she affirmed. "That should be enough time for you to escape, don't you think?" Her voice carried a hint of confidence, as she thought of the traps laid by Cristobal, designed specifically to ensnare vampires.
