His cold pity

Vincent heard the scream that Lilian let out from outside as they walked down the corridor. He could tell it was Lilian, as Prudence would never be this petty. 

"What was that?" Lady Marzea questioned as her eyes went wide. She turned to Orson for answers but the butler was tongue-tied about the answer. He had no obligation to answer Lady Marzea. However, if Vincent was to ask he would have to spill the truth. However, it looked like His Grace was enjoying the suspense of it all. 

Suddenly, the screaming stopped and the conversation between the two ladies was clearly heard by the three vampires outside.
