[h3]Vileblood Queen's Chamber, Castle Cainhurst, west of Yharnam[/h3] The black figure took the darkbeast's arm from Farren without a word, holding it out in front of them in their arms with reverence as if they had received something truly precious rather than the half-rotted limb of an undead beast. Rather than slink back into the shadows from whence they had come, the figure this time walked back them and toward the back of the chamber, toward the great doors of the chamber. When Ophelia spoke the Vileblood Queen scoffed, slowly and weakly slumping back into her seat. “Thou hast received my forgiveness for lack of etiquette already, distant kin, and thou shalt keep it. But do not presume that my gratitude for thy unexpected service is boundless; thou delivered thy news thinking that thou brought grave tidings of the defilement and death of my son, ignorant of the true vitality of darkbeasts. Thou'st earned a boon, but not one so great that I would grant thou a most sacred relic of Cainhurst.” She sighed before continuing: “To my shame, I must also confess that I withhold the reward thou desire because I yet desire thy aid, so I am glad that thou offer leal service. For now, I offer thee this: thou'rt henceforth welcome in Castle Cainhurst, and if thou so desire, I shall grant thee my royal blood and my immortal oath, and make thee true Vileblood.”
