Victor says he first must travel to England. On the way to England, Victor meets up with Clerval. Soon, though, Victor leaves Clerval at the house of a friend in Scotland and moves to a remote island to make his second, female, monster. But one night Victor begins to worry that the female monster might turn out more destructive than the first. At the same moment, Victor sees the first monster watching him work through a window. The horrifying sight pushes Victor to destroy the female monster. The monster vows revenge, warning Victor that it will "be with him on wedding night." Victor takes the remains of the female monster and dumps them in the ocean. But when he returns to shore, he is accused of a murder that was committed that same night. When Victor discovers that the victim is Clerval, he collapses and remains delusional for two months. Kentas gritted his teeth, swallowing a grunt, but he shook his head when Lunark shot him a look, tightening her hand on his wrist.When he wakes his father has arrived, and he is cleared of the criminal charges against him. Everything ached, unused to being pulled (or too used to it after that noble's experiments on him). He exhaled, leaning further into her, hating that he needed her support, but the others with them didn't spare them a glance, didn't send them mocking looks. Not when M-21's arms were around the shoulders of two of them (Kentas knew their names, had heard them enough - Takeo and Tao?), his toes dragging when he didn't lift them high enough. They were lead to a building that looked no different from the rest of the buildings along the entire street. It was smaller than what he was used to seeing, smaller than the werewolf stronghold but. Kentas glanced at the Noblesse who was opening the door. The Noblesse, whose name stopped people in their tracks, and Frankenstein, who Lunark had said they'd been able to fight on equal footing. They were also the ones that had listened to her and came to their rescue. They'd rescued Garda as well, Frankenstein going on ahead with her so he could see to her faster. They had come for M-21, but they could have left him and Garda there to rot rather than freeing them as well and inviting them back. Kentas swallowed as he lifted his feet again. They couldn't return to the werewolves, not when they would be sent back to the lab for someone else to experiment on them. The Union wouldn't care, no matter Lunark's status. There was a hold-up inside the house and Kentas lifted his head, watching the people inside change their shoes to put on new ones. The others were doing it without question, Takeo holding M-21 up while Tao put the new shoes on his feet. The Noblesse handed them a pair of the pink shoes each and they changed into them, Lunark putting her boots to the side. There was a mix of humans, nobles and that specific blend M-21 was.įrankenstein had already gone, taking Garda to where he said he would be able to monitor her status. They all lived here together? "Yooo," Tao called out as he and Takeo led M-21 further inside, "guess who we found!" "I'm hoping he's alive," a voice bit out, tinged with the Lukedonian accent, "and since you're joking, that means he's alive and conscious." "Got it in one, Number 3!" Tao said. "Barely," M-21 muttered at the same time. "Don't call-!" The short corridor through the door led to a more open area, with a table to the right and chairs lining it. ![]() ![]() There was another table to the left and standing next to it was.two noble children? Lunark squeezed his wrist again. ![]() "The girl is the Loyard Clan Leader," she murmured. He glanced at her incredulously, not sure if he'd heard her right. He had heard the new Clan Leaders were young, but he hadn't thought they were that young. ![]() The boy was staring at M-21, his eyes wide. But the Noblesse had come for M-21 so maybe… Kentas had been so wrong about his own people, so what could he say about the nobles? "Do you need-" the boy started. "I'd prefer to just collapse here," M-21 said, shaking his head. Tao and Takeo glanced at Frankenstein, who had just entered the room from the other door. Frankenstein hummed, placing his fingers to his chin. "Well, I certainly can't deny you that - though you will have to wait a few minutes for us to set up." M-21 huffed, a small smile curling his lips. "I can do that." "Garda's status is stable," Frankenstein told them and Kentas heard Lunark's sigh of relief echo his. "And you?" Frankenstein asked, still focused on them. "What would you like to do?" "What?" Kentas blinked. He was.asking him? Whatever the strongest decided, that was what the others did. Except he'd just seen Frankenstein listen to M-21's decision.
