"Welcome to the beast's lair. Lord Luc Devereux, at your service, my lady", sarkastikong bati ng baritonong boses nito.
His long blond hair glittered like gold and reaches past his broad shoulders. His firm lips were set in a grim smile while his aristocratic nose proudly pointed his displeasure and his Arctic blue eyes freezing in their contempt as he surveys her uneasy form. Kung gayon ang lalaking ito ang mismong Master ng Maison de Devereux at ng Devereux Estates.
"Sumisigaw ka na sa takot bago mo pa ako nakita so I assume that it
wasn't me who caused such horror to you. Did you see another one of the
castle's resident ghouls?"
"Ghouls? As in synonym ng ghosts? Ibig sabihin talagang may multo dito?!" nanlalaking mga matang bulalas niya.
"I don't know. But people from the village are convinced that a beast lives here. Now that you've seen me, you could confirm it to them", he drawled sarcastically with a cruel twisted smile on his lips. Umangat ang isang kamay nito upang haplusin ang kaliwang bahagi ng mukha na bahagyang natatakpan ng anino ng window drapes.
