C49 (2/2)

Rebecca was silent for a few seconds. Then she took a few steps to the left and sat down on a clean stone step.

For example, that heartless big brother Klaus in her family, he never truly treated them as family.

Sophie sat with her on the steps of the cemetery and did not answer immediately.

”Look at me,” Rebecca said, as if in the mood for conversation, patting the space around her. ”I'm back in a city where there's nothing to think about but heartache, looking for the brother who's determined to protect the child I don't care about.”

”It's hard to believe.” The Ancestral family was a legend, Sophie had always thought, and they sometimes took things too naturally. ”But you did come,” Sophie said. Didn't this mean that the connection between the immortal ancestors would never be broken?

”I'm here for Elijah. As soon as I find him, I'll leave.”

Elijah, Sophie thought of the gentleman who didn't look like a vampire at all. He could be trusted.

”He is indeed a very good brother.” Rebecca and Klaus were very lucky, Sophie admitted, but she had lost her sister, Janine, and her favorite niece, Monique.

”Only Elijah would have foolishly believed that the magical child would be the one who saved Klaus.” ”And now he's gone missing. It's very possible that it was Klaus who did it.”

”And you, too, foolish enough to believe that Elijah could persuade Klaus to deal with Marcel.”

Sophie did not protest, but she had her own opinion. ”Everyone knows about their past, and I know that Marcel has come to know Klaus.”

Marcel had been transformed by Klaus, so he was naturally loyal to Klaus. As long as Klaus wanted to, Marcel wouldn't go too far.
