Katyusha went to the courtyard to freshen up after a harsh stress that occured during her sleep. "It seemed to look like I have slept for a long time" she said to herself as she look unto the bright full moon while sitting on a chair. "Master, it must have been a harsh experience for you" a familiar voice was heard which made katyusha look behind her. "Oh if it isn't Marie, what brings you here?" Katyusha asked as she looked at Marie, her personal maid. "Well I am your personal maid after all, and I should be by your side whenever you need my assistance" Marie replied as she placed a tray on the round table. "Lady Katyusha, I have made a hot cocoa and some biscuits, please indulge yourself" Marie said as she stood beside Katyusha "Marie, Please have a seat" Katyusha said while she started to nibble on a biscuit. "Thank you very much Lady Katyusha." Marie replied  as she pulled the chair from the left side of the table and sat on it. "Say Marie, who brought me to my bed?" Katyusha asked as she stared at the cup of cocoa which she held. "Well Lord Christopher brought you to your bed, he said that if you slept on the bench you might catch cold." Marie answered.

After a few minutes of silence, Katyusha finished her biscuits and the warm cocoa "well I shall sleep, I appreciate the snacks you gave me" Katyusha said as she yawned while standing up. She went to her room with a smile on her face, as she entered her room, she plunged into her soft bed and began to sleep

"Master Katyusha" she heard a familiar voice which sounded like the person who called her on the courtyard. "Klara?" Katyusha asked as her vision started to be clear, it seemed that she was standing on the front door where she left off the last time "Welcome back, Master" Klara said as she bowed as she bowed infront of her. "What is this place?" Katyusha asked since the place was different than the last time. Klara raised her head as she replied "This is your dream, it is the fragrance of your imagination." Katyusha stared towards her with a smile and asked "so, the last time was also a dream?" But Klara shook her head and replied "no, it wasn't a dream." Katyusha looked down as she started to clench on her dress but Klara held her hand and said "it was an enemy, a parasite that wanted to kill you, but the event were false and those who attacked us were the parasite's appearance." Katyusha nodded as she noticed a tea set, she pointed at it and asked " what are those for?" But klara chuckled and cheerfully replied "were going to have a tea party!"

They both sat on the chairs on opposite sides of the table, they both held their tea cup as the tea kettle floated and filled their cups with tea when they look at their saucer, a biscuit appeared. "How do these things appear on our saucer?" Katyusha asked as she took the biscuit. "Well this place is rather magical, it should be the reason on why things are mysterious." Klara replied as she calmly took a sip of her tea with her eyes closed as if she was indulging it.

They went silent for a few moments, thinking of a way to start a conversation since they are out of ideas on what to talk about, but nothing came out of their heads. The silence lasted for minutes then Klara finally asked to break the silence "Say Master, do you remember anything from your past?" But Katyusha confusedly responded to her question "You mean my childhood? I'm still a child." Klara looked down with a sigh then said "I meant is there anything you've remembered, like about your powers or something." But Katyusha still remained confused as she shook her head then took another bite of the biscuit.

An hour has passed yet nothing seemed strange that happened, so Katyusha asked "Klara, there aren't any monsters here are they?" But Klara laughed and replied "There are monsters but they can't be here." Katyusha sighed in relief then smiled as she said "good to hear."

They both finished their tea, as the tea set started to fade, Klara held Katyusha's hand and reminded Katyusha to be careful. Katyusha stood up and asked "why so?" But Klara didn't respond but instead she opened a portal then said "Master, you should leave now, they are looking for you." Katyusha nodded as she bid her farewell by waving her arm.

As Katyusha entered the portal, she was surprised that she was transported into the balcony of her room in a blink of an eye. She went inside only to be surprised by a warm hug coming from her parents with a worried look of their faces they asked "Where have you been? We were worried about you." Maria started to shed her tears, Katyusha wiped it and replied "But I'm here" Katyusha looked at the face of her parents. "Next time, Don't leave us without telling us" her father reprimanded her while patting her head. "I'm sorry Mother, Father, I won't do it again" Katyusha said with a smile knowing that her parents loves her and that they are afraid to lose her. "Sleep now our little angel." Marie said as she pecked Katyusha's forehead. "Okay mother." Katyusha replied with a smile as she heads towards her bed.

Katyuaha laid down on her bed as both of her parents went closer to her and pecked her forehead, they left the room as Katyusha began to sleep soundly.

Katyusha had a goodnight sleep, her slumber has started to deepen. Klara on the other hand was watching over her through a crystal shaped object "I think she's safe for now" she said to herself as she went away from the object.
