Hrimvaldr noticed that Fuyu was already present, and everyone listened attentively to his words. Surprisingly, no one expressed anger toward him or harbored any intent to harm him. In fact, they appeared genuinely intrigued.
"My name is Hrimvaldr," he announced with a gentle smile, looking down at Drakda and softly patting his head.
"He has a new name?" Miranda asked, curious.
"That's unusual," Yuki remarked.
"It makes sense," Ruby interjected. "Sangre was the name bestowed upon him by the Vampire Venerable. We never truly knew his real name."
"So he goes by Hrimvaldr now. That's fitting," Benladann said. "Benladra, let's greet your uncle. It seems your father succeeded in saving him after all."
"Okay!" Benladra nodded, gliding alongside her mother.
Both approached Hrimvaldr, whose surprise deepened at their warm reception.
"Hello, Uncle! Are you healed? You've changed so much. What happened?" Benladra inquired eagerly.
