Third Person's POV
None of the vampires standing behind Virelle and Lucien noticed the subtle exchange or caught Lucien's faint muttering, none except for the black-haired woman in the slit gown and Virelle.
Virelle didn't react to Lucien's cursing of Ethan on the outside, though the disgust and abhorrence she felt for him only increased in her mind.
Along with it, Virelle also formed a strict vigilance in her mind against Lucien for any kind of backstabbing or scheming he might do against Ethan in the future.
As for the black haired girl, from the moment their eyes had first met, she had been observing him with unwavering attention, and now she had heard Lucien and seen everything from start to finish.
Her dark, elegant eyes followed him with a sharp, almost predatory curiosity.
