The night of the regression V

The Emperor's Palace was no different from the previous ones Florence and Fabian went through. The hallways were filled with servants and knights, but unlike the bloody scene from the previous hallways, there was no blood around. It only meant they were simply unconscious. 

However, that didn't mean the scent of blood didn't waft into their nostrils. 

There was this distinct sweet scent of blood and the closer Fabian and Florence were to the Emperor's chambers, the stronger it got. Fabian's expression slowly grew darker, while the fear in her eyes amplified until Fabian kicked the door open. 

Both of them froze by the door as the aromatic scent of blood wafted in their nose. Florence covered her nose and mouth because the scent left this tingling sensation in her teeth. It smelled delicious.
