Only a day Agler left home and Ima was lonely, no one helped her in schoolwork or accompanied her to play.
The house became quieter than usual because it lost the laughter of a brother, with lethargy that night Ima stared at the dark night sky without a sprinkling of stars.
"You haven't slept?" ask Nick to come.
"I can't sleep"
"You think of your brother?" guess Nick.
"Looks like that, I just haven't gotten used to being away from him yet"
"so yeah... "
"From my childhood this was our first time apart, I was used to relying on Mr. Agler in any way so when he was not around I felt as if I was losing my place to lean on" she admitted.
"I understand, but sooner or later you must have parted"
"What do you mean?" tanya Ima did not understand.
"You are a woman, there will come a time when you fall in love and marry the man you love. When you get married doesn't that mean you're leaving Agler?" nick said.
Ima was silent, never thought he would leave his family including Agler. Whatever the reason, but now Nick's words make him realize even though his heart has not been adrift by any man.
"Teacher Nick, would you like to tell me more about this woman named Anna and Queen Viktoria?" her door.
"Why?"
"It's okay, it's just that I'm so happy to hear the stories of those two powerful women. I idolize them so much, if they're still alive I want to meet and even study with them"
"Once you go, I'll tell you. But it's a story from my point of view as a soldier, you have to remember I don't know everything about those two so it could be that my story is wrong"
"I understand" replied Ima.
The night is getting late, Nick again tells the story of Viktoria as the youngest female Queen in the Vampire Kingdom. His views on Victoria were limited to what he saw when Victoria took the lead, as well as Anna trying to overthrow the Victorian throne and earning the traitorous nickname of some of the higher-ups.
"Although Anna was a traitor but some vampire warriors were amazed at her, she was a woman full of mystery and that's the allure that made her known until now" Nick said.
"Until now I still don't understand, she was originally a witch and came as a guest in the Kingdom then how could she go and return to being a vampire noble?" ask Ima.
"It's the biggest secret he has, some vampires doubt his royal blood but since the higher-ups admit it, they can make sure he doesn't lie"
"Hmm.. the woman is indeed full of mystery" murmured Ima.
Nick again continues his story about the great fight that occurred between Anna and King Reinner, due to the betrayal of General John somehow Anna and Viktoria who fought. The fight was won by Anna, after which the vampires had to obey the agreement that had existed for thousands of years.
Back hearing the story made Ima's mind soaring, she imagined what it was like to be a royal princess. For her it will feel great to wear a beautiful dress and be served by many servants.
Ima secretly wore her favorite dress in the room and acted like a princess of the king, as if there was a very prince in front of her she bowed as a sign of respect and reached out and then took a few steps forward to dance.
There is no music playing but Ima is able to dance well, even he enjoyed it until he was unaware Mina was looking at it from the opening of the room door.
"Ah.. mother!" the shocked screams of Ima heard the sound of applause.
Mina smiled and walked into the room, looking at her daughter's face that was flushed with embarrassment.
"Your dance is good, but you're moving too fast" Mina said, grabbing Ima's hand.
"Step slowly, gently back your hands" Mina said, confirming Ima's movement.
"Mom's better at dancing than me, I'm sure you used to go to parties"
"Your grandmother is a famous designer, she follows many events and parties, of course, she will participate in all these activities because your grandmother wants her to follow in her footsteps" mina replied while moving her body as if there was music accompanying them.
"Mother is also now a designer, but there's no party that mom goes to"
"Mother is just a tailor in a far corner of the village, it's a far cry from your grandmother's profession"
"Why did you choose to live in the village? are you tired of attending these parties?" ask Ima who made Mina stop moving.
Slowly he let go of his handrails and sat on the mattress, Ima who was confused to see Mina suddenly fell silent feeling astonished as well as unwell.
"Have I said anything that hurt my mother?" tanyanya polo's.
"Don't love, it's just that.mom thinks are you unhappy living in the village?"
"Wherever I'm from with you I must be happy, sorry mom I didn't mean it that way" Ima replied regretfully.
"No, baby, you're not wrong. I chose to live in that village because I want to live in peace with you, your father is a vampire and Viktoria's assistant. I'm afraid your father will plunge back into the battlefield if he keeps in touch with the other vampires"
"What's? you ever been to war?" ask Ima who just heard the story.
Mina sighed, with a heavy heart she finally told Colt's past that they had been hiding.
"Your father was also a man until one day she was kidnapped by Viktoria, to save your father's mother willing to make a pact with him. At that time he turned into a vampire and earned the title of Viktoria's assistant, but over time with the problems between vampires and witches in the end your father fought against the vampires"
"Doesn't that mean you're betraying your own people?" ask Ima.
"Technically yes, but from the beginning your father was against the vampires for that without a doubt he did"
"So that's the reason why you never told me about the vampire nation, and that's also the reason we live in this remote village" said Ima.
Mina nodded with a bitter smile, unexpectedly Ima grasped her mother's hand gently and smiled sweetly.
"Hearing Nick's teacher's story about Queen Viktoria and Anna makes me think they're two very powerful women, they can fight and be leaders. But for me mother remains the number one strongest woman in the world, mother may not be able to fight but mother is always there to protect us. Even mother willing to live in the village to live peacefully and make sure we stay safe" said Ima.
The sincere words that come from within Ima's heart are well conveyed, making Mina's eyes glazed over because they can't hold her back.
"Thank you dear" Mina said gently as she hugged her daughter.
