Klaus sighed, feeling a mixture of annoyance and curiosity. "And what if they are?"
"If they are true... hmm..." Mary-Claire's face started to blush and turn red, a rosy hue spreading across her cheeks.
"What's with your face all of a sudden?" Klaus asked, his tone growing more irritated, a slight frown forming on his forehead.
Mary-Claire, unable to handle the embarrassment any longer, turned on her heel and ran off inside the annex mansion, her footsteps echoing in the quiet corridor.
Klaus watched her retreat with a dumbfounded expression. "What's wrong with kids these days?" he muttered, standing up from his lotus position. He began walking slowly, his mind racing with thoughts about the unexpected visitor, and followed the girl inside the mansion.
