Claude blinked, his mind struggling to process the sight before him.
On top of him lay a young girl, no older than fourteen, dressed in an elegant gothic lolita gown.
Her hair was as dark as the midnight sky, cascading down her back in silky waves.
Two curved black horns, resembling those of a ram, protruded from her head, and a long, thick tail—like that of a serpent—rested beside her.
Her nails, sharp and ink-black, matched the dress she wore.
Meanwhile, Claude himself was shirtless, clad only in a pair of black pants.
"Huh?" he muttered, eyes darting around in confusion.
The room he was in was completely unfamiliar yet exuded an air of luxury.
Deep crimson and jet-black adorned the walls, decorated with intricate ornaments. A grand fireplace flickered warmly in front of a small round table with two high-backed chairs.
