For a moment, both stared at each other.
But soon, she looked down and nodded at him.
"That's right, you're the first person to take my blood, Matthew Dietrich."
"I don't think I'm someone who deserves such an honor. What do you want?"
"No, you do deserve it. I don't need or want anything from you. If I let you take my blood, it's because I want you to know that I respect and admire you a little. I was originally jealous of you; the rank you hold should belong to me, and you are not worthy of being a Bloody Vampire General, much less receiving the honor of having 1 Star Adorning your Neck. I thought so."
"Still, you proved it to me this time. Not only did you show me you had enough guts to get into that place, but you also did it spectacularly. On a mental level, I can't beat you, and on a physical level, you are amazing. A person with so little power was still able to arrest all the nobles the Kingdom was suffering from," she said and sighed slightly.
