Valery was quiet, her ears listened to the sound of a carriage rattling.

Just as the hall stopped, the door burst open.

At the speed of the wind a red-haired girl suddenly arrived in front of Valery, to hug her quite tightly.

"Valery!!!" The little red-haired girl hugged Valery and picked her up as if she were a toy "I missed you so much! I have so much to tell you!"

The red-haired girl had dark red hair similar to a deep wine, her red eyes were darker than usual. Her body is slim and small, she is smaller than Valery by a head.

Valery is 1.68 so she is about 1.52.

"Valery I brought you a little present. Marta must have already given it to Adelaide so you can see it later. let's sit down."

"I'm coming Katerin" Valery was pulled by the great strength that surpassed Valery's and was forced to sit next to Kristina.

"Have you already sent letters to the 100 year academies? I've already sent them too, when I start next year we can enter the same academy. Ahhh I already want to see the Duke of Moscow, he must look more handsome."

Valery listens to her friend who is deeply in love with a duke who is the same age as them. Among the vampires, their generation has been the most numerous, with more than 200 descendants.

It's a scary number if you find out that the birth rate is 1000 tries to one.

At present, vampires do not exceed one billion. Compared to humans who were 9 billion.

Of course many vampires especially the higher ranking ones like the dukes, their population is quite old and growing steadily having between 1 to 4 children every 50 years.

But for example in the Redleaves territory there have been no births in the last 100 years since the birth of Valery. It may sound a bit sad, but for that level of territory it is a very good thing.

It can be estimated that maybe in the next 50 or 100 years another child may be born in the Redleaves territory.

"You know I have discovered that the baron of Icerain is looking for a mate. Valery didn't you like Baron Icearain?" She said flirtatiously, hitting Valery's side with her elbow.

"No! I don't like him, he is..."

"Too active?"

"Yes, I'm more quiet I like to read and work, I don't want to have to go out and walk 80 kilometers just to be active, it's not my style you know."

"Yes Katerin, you know that Valery is a glutton and a bookworm" A blonde girl with straight hair, very straight, her hair looked like a golden waterfall, her body was voluptuous compared to Valery's.

Stolen story; please report.

Dressed in an elegant but simple dress but her fabric quality is better than the other two, since her territory produces fabric. Her dress is of a golden hue with black and white. The main color was gold highlighted and combined her golden hair.

Next to her was her maid, Tatiana and Katerin's maid, Marta.

In Tatiana's hands was a large tray. Valery saw it and immediately knew what it was.

BCheescake

"Welcome Marta, how are you?

"Did you really greet me right after you saw the dessert?" She said with a surprised and obviously joking face.

"You know I'm happy to see you, that dessert couldn't change one of my best friends" Valery stood up and went to hug Marta tightly but nothing compared to Katerin's strength.

"Then we can throw the dessert in the trash."

"No! Please have mercy" she put a hand on her forehead pretending to faint.

Valery escorted Marta to sit on the opposite side to Kristina

Only one guest was missing and she would be arriving at any moment.

"Katerin, are you still studying sewing?" asked Marta.

"Yes, I hope to take an exam to see if I can become a master tailor in the next 20 years."

"You are really serious about this sewing thing" Valery said with great admiration.

"Did you Marta finally decide to study something?" asked Valery.

"Yes, but I haven't started yet when we finish the 100 years academy, I plan to study history and archeology of the ancient vampires."

"Ancient vampires?"

"Yes, I didn't know either. I found out when I had the good fortune to meet a Grand Master of History in a duchy who was conceiving certain urgent things".

At Marta's words. Both Valery and Kristina frowned.

"Did something happen?"

"Yes humans, even though the war is over there are small guerrilla groups, even around the world they are very small but no vampire higher than the Duke cares about them. So we are the ones who are suffering from their sudden attack."

"Were there losses? Do you need support? "asked Katerin

"No the situation has been brought under control, but I don't know if it will be the only suit."

"Don't worry, our territories may not be very close, but if anything happens, you can contact us."

"You are very kind girls... thank you, if the situation gets out of control I will call you."

"You don't have to worry about those, when I get back I will talk to my father about that matter. I'm sure my father will take this matter quite seriously." Commented the newcomer.

Her short hair and her beautiful black dress with lots of jewels and high quality fabrics.

The three of them opened their eyes in awe of her beautiful dress.

Stelle seeing their gazes could only smile more broadly at their admiration.

"When I return and tell my father I'm sure he will send several squads to look around your territories." She reaffirmed her words with a great deal of egosetrism and confidence in her father.

"I think we can do it ourselves but help wouldn't be bad" Valery spoke for herself, since she can't choose for her friends.

An example is Katerin who's territory is of vampiric blacksmiths and warriors. So she has the military corps to be able to face this threat. But Valery and Marta are not in the same condition.

Stelle's kind and beautiful smile grew bigger at Valery's positivity.

"Valery, I don't think you have to worry about it, your territory is very mountainous, I doubt that the humans would waste their resources and energy to attack your territory, when their resources are now so limited" Katerin looked at Stelle again with narrowed eyes.

Like Stelle, Katerin's parents are also alive and her parents have been informing her to be careful with Stelle.

Now under the comments of Stelle.

Katerin felt strange, she has had after all military information perhaps more than her other two friends.

If the viscount sends squads into the territory supposedly to help, it will be a hidden invasion, since by coming supposedly to help, the group will ask for maps, lists of residents, maps of structures.

Among many other things.

Valery has been her best friend for a long time, even her parents were childhood friends because of the closeness of their territories. If necessary she will become Valery's sword.

Valery's territory specializes in construction. That is why even to take over the leadership of the territory she has to design the castle before she can build it. She has long since taken the master builder's exam.

She passed with high marks.

Her territory has two Grand Master Builders, but she has not yet taken the exam because she lacks more experience.

"Hmmm, better forget my words Stelle. Let me think about it" Valery seeing the reluctance of her friend who prefers to squirm, after all she hasn't had any problems yet. If necessary she will build better walls.

Marta obviously saw the tension in her words and decided to remain neutral.

If this matter escalated it could turn into a fight and that would not be pleasant, after all. The four territories are neighbors and since the beginning of the human war they have had a great deal of communication and trade.

After all, someone has to be the pillar of their friendship.

And Marta has always been that pillar since she was a little girl when they played with dolls, until now that the problems are political.

Marta could only form a bitter smile, because of the obvious problems.

You can't be a little girl during your long and eternal life, sooner or later adulthood will come knocking on your door. It seems to have arrived just now.

"Why don't we discuss this after the academy starts?"

"I agree" both Valery and Katerin decided to leave the topic for later, it was not the right time to discuss this.

Today after all they were there to celebrate Valery's birthday, not to discuss this.

"Let's eat ahead, Stelle, I know you will like the sugar in this dessert" commented Marta, taking advantage of Stelle's sweet tooth.

"All right. Give me a nice piece, to cheer me up
