Mika's past

"Selena."

The girl was startled when a voice called her from behind her. He immediately wiped his mouth which was covered in red liquid, then immediately turned around and put on a face as normal as possible.

"Mika... Since when were you there?"

"Since earlier, ever since I saw you drink something from that bag you brought." Mika pointed with her eyes.

Selena followed Mika's gaze, reflexively she immediately hid the object in her hand behind her back. "Tell me, what are you hiding, Selena?"

The woman shook her head awkwardly, "no, it's nothing."

Mika took a deep breath, "do you drink blood?" He got straight to the point.

"N-no, it's not what you think." Selena denied.

"Just tell me the truth, Selena. I promise I won't change my opinion of you one bit."

Selena was silent for a moment, then opened her voice again. "Are you sure?"

Mika nodded "You can trust me."

Selena then pulled the blood bag from behind her back. "Actually this is blood, but it's not human blood, it's just animal blood." Clearly Selena.

Mika frowned. "You know, I'm not a pure vegetarian clan, my clan still drinks blood sometimes, but animal blood." Clearly, Selena is trying to convince Mika again.

"Why are you hiding this from me? Why are you afraid to tell me?" Mika's eyes softened.

"That... Because I'm afraid you'll change your mind, I'm afraid you only want vegetarian vampires." Selena looked down wearily.

"Do I look like a guy who easily breaks up with differences?"

Now Selena's head is back up. "You mean?"

Mika gave a gentle smile, "tell me, what animal blood did you eat?"

"You... Aren't you angry or resentful of me?" Selena even asked back unsure.

Mika shook her head, "I think you understand what I said earlier."

"So... you want us to stay married?" Selena again asked for confidence.

Mika nodded slowly. The corners of Selena's lips lifted into a wide smile. "So we're getting married?"

"Oh yeah... You haven't answered my question earlier. What animal blood do you drink?"

"Em... I drank deer blood. Earlier I deliberately went to the forest to hunt. Then I found a deer, I didn't immediately suck it on the spot, I collected its blood in a blood collection bag because I couldn't finish all of its blood at once." Clearly, Selena wasn't in the mood.

Mika then approached her and stroked the top of Selena's head gently. "Are you feeling better now?"

Seeing the gentle attitude of the man in front of her, Selena's face turned bright. He reflexively nodded. "That's a sign that your wound has healed, right?"

"What?" Now Selena's face turned like a fool's. "In that case, I can leave in peace."

"What do you mean? Where are you going?" Selena asked confused, even though she already suspected that Mika would want to go find Herra.

"Looking for Herra."

Selena clenched her fists trying to quell her emotions. "I see you are healthy and strong enough, and can even hunt alone in the forest. So I don't need to accompany you anymore, do I?"

"But--"

Just now Selena wanted to protest, but her sentence was cut off by Mika. "Please, I promise I'll be right back."

Selena was silent as if she couldn't refuse or agree with Mika's wish. He also had no reason whatsoever to prevent the man from leaving. It's like he's trapped in his own words.

"Okay," and finally had to nod because Mika was very nice to him, and that made him unable to refuse his request. "But I hope you'll be back soon."

"Of course."

***

After leaving Selena's room, Mika inched back to her own room. His room is also quite spacious like the other rooms, but there is something different, there is a secret room in the room. Mika stepped towards a large painting on one of the walls of her room. Then pushed the wall until part of the wall was turned and opened, and another room was visible inside.

Mika stepped into the slightly dark room, then turned on the light and now you can see the objects in the room, there are several large bookshelves as well as an old-style desk. Mika immediately plopped down on her working throne, her face looking up at the ceiling of the room. His gaze was blank. Slowly his eyelids closed.

"Mother father..."

Mika now dives into dreamland, she recalls the unfortunate incident that killed her parents, also killed the entire Silver Eye Clan, and left only herself.

An incident he would never forget in his life. His mother's father was senselessly slaughtered for disobeying the rules of the clan union. At that time there was a massive revolution to bring back the recently declining human population.

The vampire union is led by the strongest clan, namely the green eye clan. They were chosen as guild leaders because they were considered the most genius of the clan, especially the Silvester family. James Silvester managed to find a potion that makes vampires no longer thirsty for human blood, even animals. The man created a concoction that made vampires become vegetarians, aka only eating vegetables and fruits.

At that time, the Silver Eye Clan was called a rebellious clan because their clan still hunted humans. The Silver Eyes Clan has also been given many warnings and opportunities, but they don't really want to stop hunting humans. It was at that time, the silver eye clan was considered a rebel, and the green eye clan did not hesitate to slaughter their clan.

At that time Mika who was still very young didn't really know what was going on. The Green Eye clan allowed him to live and be raised by the Silvester family.

Mika opened her eyes again and her past images suddenly disappeared. He straightened his back and pulled out a desk drawer. There is a small bottle and some files in there.

Mika grabbed a paper envelope and opened it. He had often read the letter every time he missed his parents. Inside the letter was her mother's writing before she died, the woman tried to tell her son Mika that her life and her husband might not last long, her mother seemed to have a hunch that her clan would be massacred shortly, and she told her son to hide. Mother also told me that the Silver Eyes clan was not completely at fault, only one of them hunting humans, but some people deliberately exaggerated the problem and seemed to want to pit one against the other.

Finally, the mother also wrote, if Mika survived, she wanted her child to be able to avenge them and find proof that the Silver Eye Clan was innocent, that was just slander and misunderstanding.

Mika closed the letter again and moved her hand to take a small bottle which was also in her drawer. He lifted her into the air and looked at her. A flash of shadow looms, where his adoptive parents lose the war against Azura. Then the corners of his lips pulled up in a mysterious smile. After that, put the small bottle back in the drawer and put it away.

Mika stood up and immediately grabbed her silver robe. "Herra... I will definitely find you!"
