Around this time, when the scenery changes to autumn…
On the day of le Comte’s birthday, we were invited to have tea with a certain Duchess.
MC: Comte’s old friend, what is she like?
Comte: She is called the Duchess of Ledoux, a beautiful lady who was once hailed as the belle of society.
(Le Comte and the Duchess, I wonder what kind of relationship they had.)
( …..Perhaps, they were lovers.)
Carrying these feelings in my heart, it turns out that the person who greeted us was a smiling old woman with deep wrinkles.
Duchess: It has been far too long, Comte. Though, you appear as youthful and fresh as ever.
Comte: Duchess of Ledoux, in my “father’s” place, I thank you for your kind words.
Duchess: Ah yes, you are his son.
To avoid raising her suspicion, le Comte pretended to be the “son of le Comte de Saint-Germain”.
Seeing the two as they are now, their ages appearing so far apart as if they were parent and child, I came to understand the meaning of my human life span —.
MC: I had thought of this when I saw you and the Duchess together, but...
MC: Comte, I wonder if the time we spend together now, will one day become out of sync in the same way the Duchess’ had...

Comte: If you go so far as to say that… shall I just go ahead and take you for myself? Your blood, your body—
Long fingers gently caress my nape.
Comte: If you want to live with me, then...
In addition, the DX set contains the story told from his perspective.
( …..Your warm heart is dangerous.)
(It is the kindness that comes from attempting to understand another’s loneliness.)
(I must not confuse your empathy with the desire to become the same creature as I.)
A human and a pureblood vampire.
Within this unbridgeable divide between the two of us, what will these feelings amount to... — ?
