[ So... Umm... Vlad-sama. What are we doing here? ] Lumi asked Shiro with a tilted head.

After their meals, Shiro had ordered Nina, Lumi, and Sarah to go outside with him where the blinding sun is high in the sky. While he had ordered his two Vampire Brides to manage the other slaves and start to give them their roles and tasks in the mansion.

The three with him right now are the ones with the highest levels among the slaves he had bought. They're stronger than his two Vampire Brides when they're on their debuffs, and they're also close to the levels of the hero's party members.

A small amount of grinding and they might even become stronger than the heroes party themselves - with these thoughts inside his head, Shiro said to them with a straight face:

[ Say, the three of you have potential in combat. I'd like to test your skills and abilities. ]

Yes, that was why Shiro had gathered the three of them here; to test the limits of their skills.

[ Vlad-sama... with all due respect. I don't want to hear from someone weaker than me that I have potential. ] words filled with annoyance was thrown into Shiro.

( Huh...? )

Looking at the person who said those words, Shiro muttered, irritated -

[ What did you just say...? ]

[ As I said, Vlad-sama, the thing I hate the most is hearing from someone that is weaker than me that I have potential. I will only accept those words from someone who is stronger than me; you may punish me for saying these words, but I have my dignity as a knight. ]

It was Sarah. The strongest among the three. She has the face of beauty but her eyes are those of a warrior. She looked at Shiro with an intimidating look on her face.

Just looking at her face, one can see how she has absolute confidence in her self, especially to her strength.

[ You're supposed to be a knight, right? Are knights people who judge a person's strength by their looks? You haven't seen how strong I am yet; how are you able to say that I'm weaker than you? ] Shiro said with an irritated voice, but with a calm tone.

Sarah was looking at him with an irritated look, so Shiro had intimidated her with his words.

[ Tha-That's...! ] Sarah stuttered, she was not able to find the words to reply to Shiro.

[ How about this... I'll show you. ] Shiro muttered as he raised a hand in front of her head.

Her attitude had reminded him of Arthur, and Shiro didn't like that.

[ Huh...? ]

[ Fear. ]

~~~

A heartbeat.

In the absolute darkness that eats everything, she had heard her own heartbeat.

Her heart was beating fast. It was beating loud. It was beating hard.

( Wha... What is this...? ) she could only mutter in the dark empty world of nothingness.
