227 121. Aihrance's Underground Labyrinth -2 (Part One)

**

Aihrance's nobles inside the royal palace became restless.

Vampires? Such monsters were hiding somewhere inside their royal palace?! Something like that hasn't happened to the queendom of Aihrance that managed to protect her peace for the past fifty years.

The nobles immediately lodged their protest to their queen.

"Your majesty, there's no basis for such a thing."

"That's indeed correct, your majesty. These are merely unfounded worries, that is all."

"Ahaha! This is somewhat embarrassing, if I say so myself. We've come here under the pretext of holding a celebration for our hero, but to think that her majesty would lose our trust in this manner."

"Yes, you're correct. I'm saddened by this development."

The nobles shook their heads as if they were disappointed about something, and continued to voice their displeasure.

However, a certain section of their ranks were shuddering away in anxiety at the moment, instead.

'B-but, how come...?!'
