As Merciless left the lab, Carmilla floated alongside him, her mind swirling with questions. She had been meaning to ask him something important. Finally, after they passed through the dimly lit corridors, she broke the silence.
"When will you hide my existence from the others?"
Carmilla asked, her voice laced with apprehension. The memory of Merciless offering her sanctuary in his inner world had lingered, and she had been waiting for him to take the necessary steps.
To her surprise, Merciless chuckled, his tail swishing lightly behind him. Without looking back, he answered casually.
"I already did."
Carmilla stopped in her tracks, her non-existent and imaginery eyes widening
"You what?"
"I've already hidden you."
Merciless said with a smirk.
"The moment we sealed our agreement, I took care of it. No one will be able to detect you unless I let them."
She blinked, completely taken aback.
