Rias and Jane

CLAP! CLAP!

Virgil clapped his hands and said, "Alright, everyone. The battle has ended. All of you can go back to the palace and enjoy yourselves. Don't forget. It is the night of new year's eve. You must celebrate it with happiness and forget everything that happened a year before."

All the vampires spread their wings and flew to the palace. Now, only Rudy, Virgil, Victus, and Jane remained.

Virgil turned to Victus and said, "You may go too, Victus."

"My king, I am ashamed that I couldn't bring you victory. Please, forgive my—"

"Worry not, Victus. Even if someone else had fought in your stead, they would have lost too."

"But my King…"

"I said you can go." After a brief pause, he added, "And you broke the rule, so you will be punished."

"Yes…" Victus is also a few away after glaring at Rudy.

"Rudy… no, Sir Rudy, shall I call you?" Virgil asked with a grin on his face.

"Rudy is fine…"

"Rudy it is, then." Virgil nodded. "Shall we go now?"
