Anastasiya was momentarily taken aback by Eleanor's directness, but she quickly composed herself and offered a confident smile.
"Since you asked so straightforwardly, I'll answer in the same way," she said. "Among my siblings, I'm the odd one. I don't run any businesses, nor do I manage any corporate affairs. I prefer reading, traveling, and fighting. Business never interested me much."
Eleanor tilted her head slightly, listening with interest as the vampire woman continued.
"In Eastern Europe, my family wields considerable influence. Technically, all the vampire clans in the region are vassals of my family. I've never used that power for personal gain… but perhaps I should. After completing my education, I inherited a significant amount of wealth from the family estate. It's just lying dormant in my Grandfather's treasury. Grandpa is happy to have me by his side, training me in combat. He taught me how to wield the spear… I'm currently at a master level."
