Thud thud, thud thud.
"Hehe~"
Eliza didn't know why Herbert suddenly invited her to dance, but she was very happy now.
It had been a very long time since she last danced.
After becoming a Vampire, she had never danced again.
This dance made her feel as if she was alive again, as though she had awakened from a centuries-long gloomy nightmare.
It was like dozing off in the garden at noon and having a nightmare.
She was still that Little Princess living freely under the love of her father and mother, who met a young nobleman accidentally in the garden.
It was beautiful, it was blissful, yet... it felt somewhat unreal.
The more perfect it was, the stronger Eliza felt the sense of disconnection.
This unreality became increasingly intense once she realized it.
"..."
Eliza was silent for a moment, propping herself up on Herbert's chest and looking down into his eyes.
"Herbert."
"Hmm?"
"Why are you being so gentle with me today?"
Her voice was filled with tenderness.
