As Chen Yu and his wife and the old priest mourned at the grave of Marie Duplessis, the woman with a tragic fate, Gilles de Rais reappeared beside the three of them, and in his hand appeared a white camellia, seemingly from nowhere.
Placing the camellia at Marie Duplessis's tombstone, the tips of Gilles de Rais's fingers gently brushed her name inscribed on the stone. The sorrow in his eyes differed from the grief he had shown for Joan of Arc; it bore more of a sense of regret and sympathy.
Watching the vampire's actions, Chen Yu naturally guessed that he must have known this Marie Duplessis and asked Gilles de Rais, "Could you tell us the story of this lady?"
"How do you know I knew her?" Gilles de Rais lifted his head to look at Chen Yu, surprised at how he had come to that conclusion.
To this question, Chen Yu simply smiled, "You made it quite obvious, Marshal Gilles."
