章節 21: Blue drop

"I understand, I'm sorry, could you tell me what I can do? What price to pay?" having a solution was something she was happy to do, but it couldn't be simple.

"I want you to answer 2 questions for me."

"Then ask," she said urgently, wanting her problems to end quickly.

She wanted peace of mind but, at that moment, she realized she didn't want peace at all, she wanted something else.

"Tell me what is your nature?"

Valery at the strange question, thought about it for a moment but had no clear answer. Nor did he understand the question at all.

"What do you mean?"

"Nature is a part of ourselves, a characteristic of our personality, you can be unaware of your nature or try to hide it, or even avoid it. Still it is in you." The director looked at her with a penetrating gaze, and although valery did not see it.

She could feel that his gaze could see everything in her, from her innermost depths to her secrets, even what she knew.

Was he capable of doing that?

Valery wasn't sure, but if anyone could do it, it was him. Valery had no doubt that he could discover all that. He is a vampire of Archduke rank.

An archduke, a prince and a king are in the same rank, the difference is in certain conditions set among the vampire society.

Prince, son of a king

Vampire archdukes, with the abilities of an archduke. He does not necessarily have to have a territory.

Vampire king, has to get a territory that has a set of nobles of many ranks, including archdukes.

Currently there are two kings in the vampire world.

"Nature..." as if she was wheezing inside, she felt her blood churning. She didn't know, the word seemed to be hiding from her, even the feelings and their characteristics she couldn't describe.

"I don't know."

Unseen by Valery, a quiet, gentle smile was born on the Director's face.

"If you discover your nature what will you do?"

"Live with it, maybe learn more of it and if I like it I could experience it more..." She replied with a hand on her chin, more and more intirgued by her own nature.

"Is that enough?" Valery felt nervous, after all she didn't answer both questions.

"Yes" Something tapped on the table "On your way out take the box."

Valery immediately stood up respectfully and without looking at the director she approached the table next to him, took the box.

"How does it work?" she asked as she opened the box.

"the night of your blood frenezi, swallow what's inside the glass."

Valery opened the box as the director finished saying the last words, inside the delicately placed box.

There was a crystal, resembling a drop. Inside was a blue liquid, the crystal emanated a cold blue mist. So cold that Valery felt cold, she that the cold she can withstand is almost extreme and now she herself shivered with cold.

"What is this?"

She received no answer, Valery unintentionally snorted, because she agreed to Victor the human who doesn't answer her at all, sometimes she wishes he would answer her but he doesn't. She couldn't help smiling, after all she enjoys coming to her room and giving him little summaries of her day to day life.

Even if there is no answer she enjoys his silence.

Valery closed the box and headed for the door.

"Thank you" due what Valery said as a farewell.

Before she opened the door.

"Are you afraid of your nature?" Asked the Director

Valery thought for a while, before answering.

"Yes, I don't know how it will affect me and my friends, my people. I think I would like to describe it, but I don't know how that strong taste will fit myself and how it will affect my world. I'm scared" her voice trembled, her fear and nervousness echoed in the room.

"But I'm also excited and curious" a crooked smile, between fear and excitement appeared on her face, little by little excitement. Her red eyes shone in the room, her pure red eyes darkened little by little in a natural way...

And that change would be permanent and eternal.

Valery just like when she went upstairs she went downstairs, but something about her was different, but that change was too superficial for anyone to notice.

Even that change did not go unnoticed by the Director...

Valery returned to her room. Even though she has things to do, she wants to keep this. She doesn't know how it will work, but she trusts the Director.

After all, all those who have received his help, it has always worked for them. Of course, not everyone received his help.

Those who did not receive an answer standing in front of the door of the director's room, it was a sign of rejection.

She was not nervous, when she went to the director's room, she was prepared for rejection or acceptance. That is why she was not surprised when she was received by the Director.

When she got to the room, she looked at Victor. She smiled and looked around the room.

"Maybe I should take better care of you" she smiled with traquility and slight affection.

She left the box in her coffin and then thought about what she could do....

She could do many things...

But she thought it would be best to take care of Victor, just to relax a little and at the same time try to gather information.
