later that day at the chapel
Discovery of Mircalla's Tomb
Baron Vordenburg, a scholar of vampirism, arrived at the chapel and, using his ancestor's notes, located the long-hidden tomb of Mircalla, Countess Karnstein. The tomb was concealed behind a wall, and its discovery was a moment of triumph for the General. The Baron's knowledge and the legal preparations for an inquisition indicated that the vampire would be dealt with according to established procedures. Laura, exhausted and terrified, was sent home with the priest, while the men prepared for the exhumation.
