The holy marriage reminded Alisya of Agler's desire to question her, how much the day seemed to be going easy.
But every valuable thing does have a value that is not cheap, for that too there is always a sacrifice. In the story of contrasting differences that became the most real test, their world is too different to be united.
"Alisya" called Agler softly while stroking his hand.
He was surprised, quite surprised by the touch.
"You why?" tanyanya.
"It's okay, I'm fine" he said.
"Lately you've been daydreaming, your attitude is worrying me too much" Agler admitted.
Whhuuuss....
The swish brushed Alisya's long hair enough to block her face, but she did not try to get rid of it. In that silence in the face of the man he had loved long enough, he did not expect the day would come when he doubted whether the relationship he always wanted would be able to survive.
"I have to go home, we meet tomorrow again" he said without elaborating on Agler's statement.
Agler did not want to force, let Alisya go to leave him just like that. He also came home with a big question mark.
"You good?" tanya Ima looked at her brother's face that was so tangled.
"Ah yes." replied Agler limply.
"You had a fight with Alisya?"
"No, it's just that he's changed"
"What do you mean?" tanya Ima wants to be more clear.
"She's daydreaming a lot, being quiet even when she's reluctant to get close to me" Agler explained, dropping into a chair.
Of course Ima knows for sure why it can happen, Alisya is still in the healing phase so it takes time for him to accept the reality. Even so he was quite surprised Alisya remained silent and still wanted to see Agler.
"Women are easily traumatized and stressed, you have to be patient to deal with it" said Ima.
"Well, what about your own relationship?"
"Of course it's good, Chad is in my hands so you don't have to worry" Ima replied with a smile.
"Heh I still don't think you're in touch, if you think you're really like an iconic vampire couple"
"meaning?" ask Ima not understand.
"Well, you're with an indelible and greedy nature and Chad with a cold and cruel nature. You guys are terrible couples"
Hahaha
"Maybe that's why we are fooled" said Ima amused.

With the passing of Kyra made Hans even more worried, of course because he still remembered the agreement that Jack made with Tianna. Because Kyra is no longer there, it can be ascertained that the blood Jack will take next is the blood of his mother, Amelia, of course Hans can not let this happen.
Confused as to how he did just spend time daydreaming, now Shishio is no more so he does not know who to ask for advice to.
Until he suddenly remembered Nick, when Nick wanted to help him to sneak into the palace so he hoped this time he would help him again.
Secretly he went alone, lucky Nick still lives in the old house so he did not bother looking.
The arrival of Hans is certainly quite surprising Nick because they have not seen each other again for a long time, the last time they met when Hans asked for help and Nick now back guessing that Hans will ask for help again.
"I heard that the battle is over, shouldn't the world be safe now?" nick said.
"Yes, that's true"
"Then what brought you to me?" ask Nick.
Hans took a deep breath before he told him what had happened, his disquiet for Jack's alliance with Tianna that he wanted to stop immediately.
"Um.. this is difficult" Nick muttered as he rubbed his chin with one hand.
He seems to think hard, find a way out that may be there.
"We vampires are very thick with agreements, when we do, there will certainly be valuable exchanges that are mutually beneficial so that the agreement is difficult to break"
"I understand that, but still if I keep my family in danger"
"Danger? why?" ask Nick not to understand.
"If in let grandfather will continue to draw blood, it is already against the law of witches and if it is discovered he will definitely get punishment from the government of the Academy. Well.. although he was already a retiree but because of the position he once occupied it is quite influential"
"I still don't understand, what's wrong with taking blood? he didn't kill"
"As the witch was a big mistake, grandfather had already made a pact for personal gain instead of the survival of many. The point is that he actually endangers thousands of lives just for personal gain, if it continues to be allowed not only to be punished but trigger anxiety among humans" explained Hans with a thin face.
"Isn't that natural? human nature is like that, always selfish without thinking long" said Nick suddenly who made Hans fixated.
How sharp his words even with a relaxed face, greed is indeed a natural trait that every human being has. But Hans can't let that trait be on Jack because it's endangering everyone.
"Enough on the explanation, the point is do you have a way to stop all this?" hans asked in despair.
"You have two choices, don't let your grandfather get the pills or don't let the vampire get his blood"
"meaning?"
"Make one of them lose, that's the only way to cut the rope of a mutually beneficial agreement" he said.
Easy to say but hard to do, he knows Jack loves Jessa more than anything. It was evident from Jack's courage to make a pact with Tianna just for a pill, so he understood it would be difficult to make Jack give up on Jessa's disease.
As a frontline Witch who always fights vampires she also knows enough of the vampire nature of wanting only blood, and their inhuman laws.
In the past few days Hans lost his appetite for thinking too much about Jack, secretly he always paid attention to Jack with Jessa while looking for a way out of the problem.
Until one night he again stalked Jack, at which time Jack still had a supply of blood in a bottle that he exchanged for a box of pills.
There was not much discussion going on because it was their business to just make an exchange, after receiving pills from Tianna Jack immediately left the place.
While Tianna was also ready to disappear quickly in Hans's face after Jack's departure, Hans deliberately did not bother to hide his aura that can be kissed by Tianna in order to get Tianna interested in him.
"Your smell is similar to her" Tianna said.
"I'm his grandson" Hans said.
"Oh, I deserve it"
"There's something I want to talk to you about" Hans said.
"I listened" Tianna said as he crossed both hands on his chest.
"I'm asking you, please break the agreement you made with grandfather" Hans said a little hesitantly.
"That pill is precious to grandfather, but he can't keep taking his own grandson's blood to quench your thirst. That's why I beg you to break your agreement"
"Do you really mean what you say? looks like you don't know enough vampires and the law of covenants"
"I knew.. "
"If you know there's no way you're begging, I don't care even if he has to kill his entire family. It's none of my business because in this agreement we're mutually beneficial, he gets what he wants and pays for it with something I need" Tianna cut.
Hans was silent, Nick had already explained this but still he had no other way to stop it.
"If...if I offer myself would you like to do it?" hans asked as he gulped with great difficulty.
Like a coward in general, his heartbeat began to pound with frightening shadows about the terrible things that would happen to him.
Slowly Tianna stepped forward, scrutinizing Hans face to his burly male body. Inhaling his scent from his neck to stroking his wide back.
"You're pretty good from all sides, your body and abilities I admit have potential" Tianna whispered.
"So... how? isn't this worth it?" ask Hans.
Fufufu hahahahaha
Tianna's laughter, which was originally just a small stretch, was now getting bigger, as if Hans was a clown so cute in his eyes.
"I really like humans like you, full of sickening love and affection. Why do you love to sacrifice for the greed of other human beings? isn't Jack just a bitch? he was willing to sacrifice his grandson's blood for personal gain and you offered to help his greed" Tianna said.
That's right, Hans knows very well Jack's actions can not be forgiven and his actions are the stupidest thing he ever did. But how Jack is his grandfather, besides that he also knows what it feels like to sacrifice for life with love.
"I will serve you wholeheartedly as long as you accept me and keep giving the pills to her" Hans said slowly.
Tianna was seen beginning to weigh, looking back at Hans from head to toe.
"Alright" he finally said.
Fuh...
There was a little relief in Hans heart as at least his sacrifice was well received.
"Give me your blood once a week, but I want to suck it straight away so see me next week before Jack"
"I understand" Hans said.
Tianna smiled faintly, walked over to Hans and passed him before finally disappearing in the pitch-black night.

A woman with a large pearl necklace approached her, her firm face sometimes made her afraid to dare not lift her face.
But the woman's hand always took her chin, slowly raising it so that their eyes could see each other.
"Never lower your head, you are a great pawn that must become a fortress. Show your strength so that no one dares to cross your boundaries" the woman said in an echoing voice.
"I.. do not dare. madam." he said with my eyes.
"I know, you love her, you can't get the status you want but your destiny is to be with her forever, you will be a mother to her children even if they were never born from your womb"
"Mrs.". "call her sad.
"Joyi, I'll give it all to you" said the woman before the light came to drown her.
His eyes were open, staring at the whole room just to make sure he was in his room. Slowly Joyi got up from her bed to open the curtains, letting the morning sun greet her with a warm glow.
Hhhhhhhhhh
One heavy breath shot out from his mouth, trying to release a negative aura from his body.
Somehow after a long time suddenly the dream just appeared, a dream that made his heart become unsettled because there was a bad feeling that came to sharpen his mind.
One thing he remembered was his vow to keep the descendants of Hermes and that now makes his throat barren like a desert.
Glek Glek Glek
The consumption of one glass of water to wet the throat, but still the thirst did not disappear.
Trying to forget it he started the day as usual, when he arrived at the dining room the waiter had prepared all the dishes according to the menu list.
"Good morning" said Chad who was neat and ready to go to the office.
"By my darling" replied Joyi.
"Good morning everyone." said Alisya who was still wearing her nightgown.
"Morning is also dear." replied Joyi.
Now that his family members were complete, the two grandchildren he would take care of with his life sat right beside him.
For a moment he noticed Chad who is of Hermes descent, although he was so vengeful to Jack but lately Chad seems to forget about his mission and live peacefully in a new world that there is only an office and Ima.
There shouldn't be any trouble with Chad so he shouldn't worry about it, but that bad feeling clearly refers to Hermes' descent.
So his mind began to guess at Agler who was still raw in the mortal world, but Agler's decision to remain Megan's family was the right decision that should not cause problems.
Aside from those two people who were left now only Hans and Kyra, among them only Hans considered him really an enemy.
If you think it's time for Joyi to get close to Hans, make sure he's safe and away from Jack.
"Grandma" call Chad.
"Ah yeah. sorry grandma is a little daydreaming"
"What's wrong?" ask Chad to worry.
"Nothing, it's just that last night Grandma had a bad dream so now it's still getting carried away"
"Oh my goodness, it's not fun" said Alisya who had experienced it.
"It's better today grandma does not need to go anywhere, just rest at home" said Chad.
"It's okay, grandma has some events to attend"
"But... "
"Grandmother is fine Chad, precisely by meeting friends grandmother will feel better because she can forget the dream"
"Alright, but do not force yourself" Chad said more on warning.
Joyi nodded with a thin smile on her face that began to fill with wrinkles, they began to eat breakfast while changing the topic.
Towards noon with the driver among him he went to a place that was quite quiet, hills and forests were the only scenery there.
"You called me?" ask someone who Joyi is calling secretly.
