"...You really just have to get in the way, don't you...?" (Algarde)

Al-kun stares at me, his red eyes distorted, full of spite. He doesn't bother hiding the utter hatred oozing out of him.

I almost took a sigh before catching Al-kun's gaze. Ah, I can't afford to ruin my breathing pattern, I need to keep my cool.

Instead, someone else reacted much more than I did. It was Euphie.

"Algarde-sama!" (Euphie)

"...You too, Euphilia. Truly abominable, all of you." (Algarde)

Euphie glares at Al-kun with a grim expression. He returns her gaze, his eyes filled with the same hatred directed at me.

I try to calmly analyze the situation. The color of Al-kun's iris is different from before, and he has a demon stone embedded in his chest.

(...I see.)

Keeping my guard up from Al-kun, I rush towards Ilya. When I knelt down and peeked at Ryeini, who was in Ilya's arms, her chest held a deep gash, and her condition was terrible.

Ryeini still breathed, however shallowly, but her eyes gazed into space, unfocused.

"Sorry... I couldn't... Princess." (Ilya)

Ilya apologizes while biting back a cry, and she hangs her head.

I don't know the details, but I was more than convinced that Ryeini's demon stone was stolen.

Ilya is not weak by any means, but she faced the wrong opponent. After all, Al-kun is royalty. If you're caught off guard by such an opponent, it's inevitable that they'll strike first. In fact, that's why Ryeini's demon stone was stolen.

"...Ryeini, can you hear me?" (Anise)

"...Ani...? ...fia... Princess...?" (Ryeini)

In response to my voice, Ryeini gazes up. Tears spill from her eyes, dotting her cheeks.

Her expression distorts in agony, yet her throat trembles as she desperately tries to speak.

"...I'm sorry... There's... a reason... and then..." (Ryeini)

"I don't need your apology. There's only one thing: If this situation continues, you're going to die." (Anise)

Ryeini has no time left. Rather than an apology, there's something important I need to ask.

"Do you still want to live?" (Anise)

Ryeini remained silent in response to my question, but she didn't avert her gaze.

"I'll help you. If you want to live, say 'help me'." (Anise)

Please say it. I won't let you die. I promise.

The only reason Ryeini is alive currently is because she awakened her demon stone. Vampire magic is a "death defying" magic, so if Ryeini refuses to give up, a path to survival opens. She knows this.

Ryeini's lips tremble at my question. I felt her eyes close tightly and her body tense up.

"...I... still want... to go on... but... I..." (Ryeini)

Ryeini barely spits out these words, coughing up blood. Ilya raises Ryeini to a slightly more comfortable position, as her body was shaking.

It was enough to hear those words. But, I'll add another reason for her to live. I'll give you as many as I can.
