"Vampire! Vampire! Help!"

Legends said, they creature of the night that must to be eliminated.

"Incinerate them so that evil won't spread."

Fire become the major weapon of humans and day became their safest time.

However, all of this legends are nothing but a story made for entertainments.

A lot of movies, novels, and movie series like...

"Kyaaah! "Fangs of love" released another episode, Edwin finally kissed Jessica!"

All the people that just walked around for their daily destination are all ignorant of the true existence of vampires.

Indeed, blood is their symbol and foundation of their strength, but that doesn't mean they were preying humans for blood.

They are curse mages, yes... And that is the fact that they cannot escape.

"Lower your voice, this is a top secret." Rendell said, though his voice seems to be gentle, but his tone were serious.

"Ahem" Vitoria coughed and went back to his posture. "Sorry about that."

Victoria glanced at the papers again. "Now that I think about it, you said the order came from..."

"The heiress of Vladamirovich Clan." Rendell interrupted. "It appears to me that one of the five flowers seems to be interested in this boy."

"Why would such like her, a member of high ranking noblesse, be interested in this boy?" Vitoria asked.

"What do you mean?" Rendell asked, but he did get what Victoria's point.

Victoria stared at him and said: "You know what I mean."

"I see, it looks like one of the five flowers of the Orfeo began to bloom."

"Yeah, haha." Rendell chuckled.

'What kind of alibi and explanation should I tell to your mother.' The principal let a bitter sigh. 'Shit!' He knew at that moment, that he will be the one to clean up her mess. 'The flower truly began to bloom.'

Alorazel displayed a lovely smile as she was rubbing the picture of Haise in the paper that was given to him by Rendell.

"You two make sure to bring him here."

Hearing the word "two", Victoria's eyes widened in complain. She stared at Rendell like she was asking: 'Why did I get involved in this matter?'

Rendell just displayed a awkward smile.

Then the two stared at the young lady who was rubbing the picture of Haise Kazumiya in the paper with such lovely smile.

"Haise" Alorazel whispered in a gentle tone.
