Inside a room with only two wooden chairs and an unusual whiteboard, two figures sat in front of one another.
The duo was none other than Vernon and the woman he encountered earlier. Despite being inside the room for more than twenty minutes, neither of them uttered a single word.
However, followed by the woman heaving a deep breath, she spoke. "I'm curious about what someone of your kind would be doing here."
Her eyes were on the two snakes wrapped around Vernon's neck the entire time.
"We can say the same thing about you," The red snake responded.
A nod came from the woman after the red snake spoke. She stared at both snakes for a few more seconds before turning towards Vernon.
"I'm Edna Branurys, house of Branurys, princess of the house of Branurys." Said Edna with a prideful expression on her face.
"Vernon Orleans." Vernon blurted.
There was a tinge of mockery on his face after he spoke, and even though he said only his name, there seem to be an underlying meaning to it.
