Steal a kiss, twice.

Vlad gazed down at his son's body as the place went serene for a while, Sato's face was filled with so much shock that he couldn't say a single word. 

"Please dispose of their bodies, and send word to their families, if they still have any, they might want to host a proper burial for them." Vlad mandated the soldiers around him.

The soldiers hurriedly began to clear the hall, removing the dead bodies before exiting the throne room.

The only people left in the room were Erza, Sato, Vlad, Sebastian, and the three mermaids.

The place was silent for a while, Sato could see Erza desperately trying to hide her pained face and keep a calm look.

"Ladies, you've done an excellent job today thank you." Vlad walked past the three mermaids and sat back down on his throne.

After what they just witnessed Vlad do, they couldn't help but feel anxious around him.

"It's n-nothing really, please don't worry about it." Shuna stammered as she spoke.
