Andrew choked out, “Uh!” With Bridget standing there, he suddenly had no words. His face flushed red—a rare sight for him.

Bridget stared deeply into Andrew’s eyes, her expression a mixture of shock and disbelief. She could hardly fathom how bold this young man was. Even Reginald, a notorious ladies’ man, probably hadn’t been as reckless as his own son. That he had actually forced a relationship with Shiloh… Bridget’s mind reeled. She desperately wanted to ask how Andrew had dared do such a thing.

Shaking herself free of her thoughts, she quickly composed herself and greeted respectfully.

“Ms. Greene, I’m Bridget Ashford. Long ago, at the Rainveil Sect, when I was very young, I had the honor of meeting you once.”

Shiloh’s gaze remained calm. “I remember you. Why have you come to see me?”

Bridget inclined her head respectfully. “I didn’t come for anything urgent. I just wanted to see you. Also… congratulations on recovering all your memories.”

A look of weariness crossed Shiloh’s face. “What does it matter whether I’ve recovered them or not? Everyone from that era is already dead. I’m the only one left… alone. It would have been better not to remember at all.”

Andrew’s chest tightened as he heard the loneliness in her voice, and his heart ached.

Bridget pressed on. “Ms. Greene, your nemesis—the Vampire Queen—has awakened. Right now, war has erupted between the Eastern and Western continents. I boldly ask that you coordinate with the Eastern masters and act together.”

Shiloh’s reply was flat. “I have no interest in that. I’ve never coordinated with anyone in my actions. Besides, these people aren’t worthy.”

Bridget’s brow furrowed. Shiloh’s cold resistance left her with nothing to argue.

Shiloh turned her calm gaze to Andrew. “Remyn is our child, and I’ve accepted that. After I leave, Remyn will be in your care. I hope you’ll raise him well into adulthood.”

Andrew’s expression softened. “Remyn is my son too. Don’t worry—I’ll raise him well and make sure he grows up happy. But Shiloh, it isn’t wise for you to go to the Blood Sanctum alone. The conflict between Holtrien and the Dark Clans has lasted a thousand years. I understand your goal is to kill the Vampire Queen, but let me lead Holtrien’s masters to act with you.”

Shiloh shook her head.

“Andrew, I don’t like complications. If you lead others to follow me, you’re all just walking to your deaths. What’s the point?”

Andrew’s voice grew grave. “Just because it might lead to death doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take the risk. If this war continues—with the Three Empires and the three Dark Clans—Holtrien will only fall further behind. But if we kill the Vampire Queen, all the crises can be resolved. Shiloh… you are Holtrien. You’re everyone’s hope right now. You need to think about Holtrien too.”

Shiloh laughed, cold and sharp.

“Andrew… you’ve got some nerve! Are you trying to manipulate me?”

A sudden, icy aura radiated from her, forcing even Bridget to take two steps back. But Andrew didn’t flinch. He met her gaze steadily.

“Shiloh, I’m not trying to manipulate you. I just don’t want to see you fighting alone. If you don’t want to coordinate with Holtrien’s masters, that’s fine. I’ll go to the Blood Sanctum with you myself.”

Shiloh’s eyes narrowed. “Why?”
