Breakfast at the Hermes residence will always be something nutritious, Jack wants all family members to live a healthy and long life, especially Jessa who is now normal.
The bench at the dinner table was now full again as before, as when he first brought Anna who was the only girl there.
"Where's Blue?" jack asked because his grandson had not been seen while breakfast had begun.
"I'll deliver breakfast later" Violet replied.
"You're still keeping him in his room?" ask Jack in a high enough tone.
Violet looked at her father-in-law without the slightest fear, unlike Jack's children who didn't even dare to argue Violet spoke in a stern tone.
"He must learn to reflect on his mistakes so as not to repeat them."
Jack was about to speak again but Jessa gently held his hand immediately, hinting with her gaze not to prolong the matter. While the other family members did not even dare to raise their heads.
"Excuse me madam, there's a package delivery for Miss Kyra" said a waiter.
"Oh thank you" he answered immediately putting down the spoon and fork.
Curiously, Violet opened the package and found a beautiful dress, behind which was the sending card that made Violet's face more radiant.
"Oh look what my future daughter-in-law did so early in the morning? I think Blue will look beautiful wearing it" she said showing off the beautiful dress in front of everyone.
She hurried to put the dress back in its place and went to unlock the door of Kyra's room that morning, apparently Kyra had woken up and was looking out of her room through the window in despair.
"Mom hope you regret what you did, take a shower and put on the dress. Don't wait for your breakfast to cool down" he said, putting the package on the bed.
As Violet goes out and closes the door, Kyra embraces the package to see what it is, her empty eyes soon containing the sight of the dress she recognizes.
It was a dress that a model wore yesterday at the fashion show, she remembered very well because she said she liked the dress to Manager San. A sense of pleasure now filled his chest until a small laugh came out, but when his eyes saw a card that was there it was written Chad's name.
It's a bit confusing, it's clear that yesterday he was on his way with Manager San but after remembering what Manager San's job was instantly heartbroken. It was certain that Chad asked Manager San for advice to send him a gift and this is where the dress is, the pleasure has now turned to disappointment.
Removing the tears on her smooth cheeks immediately Kyra prepared, wearing the hard-earned dress she had sent for her. Get out of the room and show how beautiful she is Kyra said.
"Mother.I'm ready to meet Chad."
* * *
The ringing of the phone makes Joyi get out of her seat, a news that she can take her to the office as quickly as possible. Meeting Chad who is busy with his work a bitter smile makes Chad wonder.
"Kyra wants to see you" said Joyi.
Not only was Chad quite shocked to hear the news but also Manager San, in his mind imagined one day that he had Kyra just for himself before the reality came and took her away.
"Alright, let's go" Chad replied to Manager San.
By walking first Manager San went to pick up the car, after Chad sat in the passenger seat of the car drove.
They arrive shortly after, from the restaurant door that opens Manager San can see Kyra wearing the dress she sent. The pain that was somehow there made it hard to walk, as if he had made an unforgivable mistake.
"Good morning" said Chad.
"Good morning, sorry to interrupt your work" Violet replied.
"No problem, it just so happens that today my job is not too much."
Chad sits right in front of Kyra, watching her dress. The late night suddenly came to his mind to send a gift to Kyra as a form of attention needed in his mission, he asked Manager San to pick a good item and now he knows what kind of dress Manager San chose.
"You look beautiful, it looks like even a newly-washed flower will envy you today" Chad said.
A compliment that he could never say to Ima because there was only a lie in it, because when he saw Ima his heart was too racing uncontrollably to silence his mouth just like that.
"Thank you, I'm wearing this dress. You chose exactly, how do you know my taste?" ask Kyra who actually made Manager San unable to be there.
"Um.I'm not really sure, but when I saw the dress I imagined you wearing it and it would look beautiful" Chad replied.
"Ah then please continue, um...Manager San can we go to the other table?" asked Violet who was so happy.
Manager San nodded his head, so they chose to sit at another table not too far away.
"Wouldn't they be the ideal couple?" violet said as she sat down.
"I think so too" replied Manager San slowly.
"How long have you been working for Chad?"
"To be precise I work for the Menhad family, it's been going on for quite a while"
"Then I'm sure you understand where you are, I was a young Manager San and I could see sparkling eyes in love" Violet said.
Without being told Manager San was always aware of where his position was, even though he had never been opposed to the Joyi family who had helped him a lot.
But the problem is that he feeds on Kyra and does not have the heart to see Kyra only as a pawn of revenge for Chad, he said, everything Chad has done he knows very well is just a lie he cannot tell Kyra.
"I understand what you mean, there seems to be a mistake between us" he said who decided to be more loyal to Joyi.
"really?" violet did not believe it.
"Today I was assigned to find out what Miss Kyra likes, knowing it from the person directly I think is more appropriate. So I decided to take Miss Kyra to a fashion show, which is where Miss Kyra told me her taste and the dress she was wearing now was one of the dresses she liked on the show" she explained.
"So...Chad told you to do all that?"
"Mr Chad doesn't like mistakes, so he always finds out before deciding"
"Ahahahaha, my future daughter-in-law seems to be very painstaking" said Violet laughing gleefully.
"Unfortunately our meeting should end here, then Violet's mistress will see you later" Chad said.
"Oh, ah yeah, be careful on the road" Violet replied confusedly.
"What did you tell him?" ask Violet quickly when Chad has left.
But Kyra's eyes were still fixed on Manager San who had glanced at her with a sad look, as if he was not happy at what Kyra was doing.
"Blue!" call Violet again.
"Ah, I said what mom wanted"
"You accepted the proposal?"
"Not really"
"Good God don't make me dizzy with your play on words, tell me you accept it or not?" violet was upset.
"I accept it, but not anytime soon. I asked her to wait until my exams were over and then we got engaged"
"Why did you do that? you made him wait again"
"Mother.he will wait for me, it's only a few months away we agreed to start slowly to get to know each other more" said Kyra who was too tired.
"Well that's not too bad" Violet murmured.
"Can we go home now? I'm tired" pinta Kyra.

Jack's presence at the Academy invites a big question mark for Hans, how come not? his grandfather had long since grown up not even wanting to know anymore about the current affairs of the wizarding world.
Patiently waiting for Jack to finish his business in the Madam's room, after spending long hours Jack came out with a serious face.
"Grandfather" said.
"Oh, Hans" Jack replied slightly surprised.
"What is Grandpa doing here?"
"Um..it doesn't exist, we just haven't seen each other in a long time so grandpa went to see him"
"Grandfather... Does this have anything to do with the new vampire king?" hans asked clearly not believing it so easily.
"Ah, the madam had touched him. He said now we don't have to worry about anything" Jack replied trying to smile.
But Hans was there, at the vampire palace before Madam came by for an invitation. From the beginning he felt something was wrong with the new King, not getting a satisfactory answer from Jack then Hans would open his eyes and ears wide.
He did expect peace, but he did not expect it from the strange new King. His suspicions began to appear in the night when he discovered a group of witches in all-black clothes, the witches came out of the Madam's room and moved silently to leave the Academy.
His heart was increasingly convinced that the invitation was not just to discuss bloodsucking monsters, when the leaders of the two camps spoke for four eyes there must be something else. That became the main topic and the reason Jack came to the Academy, besides the reason why there was a suspicious group of mysterious magicians.

Being imprisoned in his own room is not a bad thing, no matter how long he is confined it will not change his nature to seek freedom.
Again, that night Kyra sneaked out of her room through the window. On a cold night with snow covering the road he walked down the sidewalk until he reached the shop where he met Manager San.
Unfortunately that night Manager San did not happen to pass by there, then there was only one place that was his favorite restaurant.
World Manager San has only two, namely an office and a restaurant unless he leaves on the orders of Chad or Joyi. Lucky that night he was there enjoying a glass of wine without friends, his face looked chaotic not worth his clothes were always clean.
"May I have a drink?" kyra asked him.
"You-you? what are you doing here?"he asked back.
"Straighten up what needs to be explained" Kyra replied seriously.
Manager San quickly understood as if they were one thought, and he ordered a drink for Kyra.
"Did you recommend that dress to Chad?" ask Kyra to start.
Manager San just nodded.
"Was...Chad told you what we had in conversation this morning?" ask again.
Now Manager San is silent, of course he knows because Chad has said everything. Slowly he nodded his head.
"Chad is the perfect guy, he's handsome and rich too. Whoever she's applying for is very lucky, but....do you think I have a reason to reject her?" ask Kyra for the last time.
As Manager San stared at the pair of beautiful blue eyes, there was of course a strong reason he could tell Kyra just that it stuck in his throat without being able to get out.
Perhaps he would regret his actions this time, but he did not have the strength to resist then he slowly shook his head.
It was then that Kyra closed her beautiful eyes to drop a salty water, restraining her heart that had been explained.
"You're right, I don't have any reason to turn it down even if there's someone I'm expecting" he said, smiling amid tears that would not stop flowing.
What power, Manager San is just a lackey that once his life is free he will not be able to reach Kyra with a degree higher than him.
Removing the tears Kyra got up from her seat and said goodbye, but before she actually went something that bothered her heart she decided to take it out right away.
"You know, I'm glad we got to meet and get to know each other. Those short days were fun and had made me wish for more, I had grown my head because we were one thought. But it turns out there's never been a word 'we' in this relationship, have a nice day."
Had there not been a Hermes name behind Kyra's name it might have been the word 'we' it really existed, or she wasn't the loyal Manager San.
