- No, it's not that bad. In all case, it is a place built with love so it was not that tragic to let him up the hand.

- I know. Even descending from the royal lineage, I ignore myself my own parents. So, the butler and some rare friends were my only family. And later, after that the butler and I were installed in the new palace, he lovely build for us, Someone came in my kingdom and paid us a visit. It was a young man, barely the twentieth I think. He was a vampire of course and he asked us straight away to stay for a while.

- I didn't even give the positive answer that the dear butler rushed out to prepare a suit for him, and this time he did it with a strange emotion. He knew me well so he acted according to my needs and my desire even without any words or orders out from my part. But, the permission was just a simple formality between us in order to maintain a clear balance between his position as a willing butler and the place his owned in my heart. But this time, for the first time of my life, he didn't consider my feeling and acted freely.

I tried to ask him out about our eccentric guest but he always avoided the matter, and he ensured to leave both of us alone even as often as possible. The only thing I could get out about him was his name Azeo. But I'd admit that it was a rare name, very beautiful.

So, I started to carefully observe my strange guest. He had long black hair, shimmering under light. His eyes were daring and so deep where I often lost myself in, and I didn't even once feel uncomfortable or hostile in his presence. It was a strange emotion, a wonderful discovery of unknown sensations, a discovery on the one hand that was hidden for decades and Darlia herself ignored.

A week later, I feel sick. They explained me that it was just a side effect of the formidable magic I used to "heal" Darlia, it will pass quickly like dead leaves carried away in wind.

He had such ways to express himself that I found irritating and at same time, so funny. I never did feel bored in his company, he was truly too much, and I liked it.

The sickness tired me a lot, and I always tend to be pulled away in a deep asleep, a sleep that lowered even more my strength, then to spare me such "threatening destiny", word for word as he said it out, he scattered in countless black birds and forced me to do the same.

- What for Azeo? I am tired. I tried to protest

- Then you prefer to sleep?

- Yes. I answered annoyed by his jovial way to speak, soaked of irony.

Alas, he was the type of person that never give up until he obtained what he desired. So, he started to nag me, and again until I could escape anymore. So, for peace, I transformed myself in countless black birds. You don't have a clue about the capacity of a person to achieve things when he's cornered and desperate to get out. I am ashamed to say it but before the moment he asked me to, I never transformed myself into birds, just because, I never stoke on a situation to do so. Butler and others did all "the chores" for me. But the second I scattered in numberless birds, how can I describe it, this phenomenal sensation, Vivo laughed happily, it was like I could see the world in all ways and experience the things I never had thoughts as vampire. Looking back, I realized it was a gift, a simple breathtaking gift from him to let me live the world in the best way I should.

After I dispersed my birds, he started to capture them and tickle them up, they even lost their feathers for. I was desperately struggling and tried in my turn to catch his for revenge, but it was vain.

Endless rain of sparkling smiles, laughs that echoed to infinity, anger that ravaged the loneliness and mostly a world of infinite happiness.
