This chapter's epigraph comes from the mouth of a servant, who tells the reader that the crest is in his room. The servant tells us that it was found there by his senior, sen nai, who tried to put the blame on him, but she was too blameless to do anything about it. He begs her to give him one more chance. She refuses, saying that she will not do it again. He tells her that he will have his vengeance on her, and says that he has stepped into a "world of vampires" . He asks her to look out for herself, and she says that she has "some work to do." She tells him that she is not worried about her master, but that she does not want to get involved in "this kind of trouble."
