Having no clue about Christine and Leonardo's whereabouts, Katherine finally begins to visit other vampire families.
In this world there are indeed a lot of vampires hiding, and to maintain their existence, there are two ways to do it.
First, they turn humans into vampires.
Second, they hunted female witches and impregnated them so they could have children.
Katherine knew the second way would work because it turned out that there was magic that could make her pregnant and give birth like a normal human.
For vampires who have felt strong and left their families, they usually start their own families.
Therefore, there are many vampire families in this world.
Luca was trying to stop Katherine from doing that. It was too dangerous, and at the moment he needed more time to cast a spell, it would clearly put them at disadvantage because he can't help Katherine.
However, Katherine didn't care at all. She must get his revenge!

"I'm looking for a female vampire named Christine, have you seen her?" Katherine asked as soon as she met the man guarding one of the vampire families' territories.
The two men on guard looked at each other, then looked at Katherine with lustful eyes.
"Maybe? How about you come with us first?" asked one of them with a perverted smile.
Katherine looked at them suspiciously. This was the fifth time she had come to the vampire family's territory.
Three of them she had destroyed because they were acting a lot and it annoyed her, while the other two answered no when asked by her, they even let Katherine do a quick check, Katherine who didn't want to get her hands dirty let the two families live.
However, unlike what she expected, Christine and Leonardo were not in this family either.
Katherine's search continues. She continued to visit other vampire families and looking the newspapers for clue, to see if any of the victims had died with vampire bite.
However, Christine and Leonardo were never found.

"Lady Katherine, it looks like there has been a vampire attack in Holden."
Luca approached Katherine with the newspaper in his hand. He looked at Katherine who was currently standing with her back to him looking out the window. Watching the sun that is about to set.
At first, Luca didn't like Katherine's plan to take revenge like this because he couldn't help Katherine much with his current situation.
However, after seeing Katherine's cold and expressionless face, unlike when Katherine was with Javier who looked cheerful, Luca finally agreed to help her. Seems like Katherine can return to be cheerful after she gets her revenge. So, Luca collected the newspapers and continued to find out if there were any vampires around them.
"No Luca, that doesn't seem to be them. Christine wasn't going to let herself be found out like this. I found out after so many years of doing this," said Katherine, still with her back to Luca.
Luca fell silent when he heard that. After years of searching for Christine and Leonardo, this was the first time Katherine had refused to go where they might have a lead.
"Is Lady Katherine not wanting to take revenge anymore?" Luca asked carefully.
Katherine just stood there, enjoying the view of the setting sun. A sight that Javier, her husband, loved. After the sun had completely disappeared, Katherine turned and shook her head.
"No, I will definitely kill Christine with my own hands!" said Katherine, her eyes now turning red, showing an aura that was ready to kill if Christine were in front of her right now.
"However, I don't want to do this kind of blind hunting anymore. It's very tiring," continued Katherine, who had lost her aura and her eyes had returned to normal.
After years of continuing search for Christine with no definite clue, Katherine was constantly running into other vampires and they were definitely fighting, with the death of her opponent.
Katherine didn't want to go on like this, she didn't want to take her revenge on the other vampires. All she wanted was Christine!
Although Katherine had always been passionate about fighting other vampires, she didn't want to continue killing her own race.
"So what does Lady Katherine want to do after this?" Luca asked carefully. His face looked worried.
After Javier's death, Katherine seemed to have no desire to live. The only thing that had kept her going all this time was her grudge against Christine.
Now Katherine looked like she didn't want to continue what they had been doing. Then, what next? Will Katherine finally choose to go into the coffin and fall asleep?
"I… want to mingle with humans."
Luca's eyes opened wide when he heard that. This is not at all what he expected!
"I've only been looking for Christine according to my instincts, but basically I'm a complete fool. I want to mingle with humans and go to the academy, Luca," Katherine continued.
All Katherine had learned so far was how to hunt humans and survive. Unlike humans who learned a lot and Katherine was always envious of that.
She had never been to a place like the academy and received an education like a human, she still remembered how Javier had always wanted to go to the academy and study like the others, but because Javier was born into a poor family, he never got that opportunity.
Katherine suddenly remembered that and thought, what if she just went to the academy? She could tell Javier later what it was like to go to the academy and at the same time make her smarter, and who knew when she got smarter by studying, she might find Christine.
Luca fell silent when he heard Katherine's explanation. It seemed Katherine had found something positive to move on with her life.
Well, going to the academy was definitely better than continuing to look for Christine and fighting with other vampires, even though Katherine was great, there was a chance she might run into a more powerful vampire and something Luca was afraid would happen.
"That's good, Lady Katherine. I will help you prepare everything," said Luca excitedly. If it was to infiltrate an academy, Luca could handle it.
Katherine nodded when she saw Luca's excited attitude as he left the room..
"But…" Luca suddenly turned around and looked at Katherine doubtfully.
"Does Lady Katherine know how to write?" Luca asked quietly because he had never seen Katherine write.
Katherine's body clearly looked mature and there was no way they would go to a kid's academy. Luca was clearly thinking about getting into an adult academy.
But… does Katherine know how to write?
The shake of Katherine's head made Luca widen his eyes.
"I can't read either," Katherine said innocently.
Luca patted himself on the forehead, it seemed that they had something else to do before going to the academy. He had to teach Katherine how to read and write!
