"Aaaaaahhhh!!"
A piercing scream pierced through the peaceful air of the banquet hall, capturing everyone's attention in an instant.
All eyes were quickly drawn toward the source of the commotion, which seemed to be coming from the direction of the restroom area.
Within moments, a black-haired man burst out of the doorway and sprinted across the hall, as everyone who had been dancing or chatting earlier stood there still in confusion.
Following behind him was a blue-haired elven girl, her expression twisted with fear as she ran.
Amelia, who was standing next to Lucas, frowned in confusion.
"Aster?" she muttered under her breath, trying to make heads and tails of what was happening.
Right then, Aster's wild scream echoed throughout the room again.
"He's a vampire!" she yelled, her voice filled with terror and panic. "Don't let him escape!"
