As soon as Vlad departed from the city, Smarald ordered Robert to warn the leaders that a meeting was to be held at the place where heris ritual was celebrated, in the “hoia-baciu forest” for a week at eight o'clock and that it would to be held that all of them would be present. Over the days, the young leader carefully studied her father's notes, looking for a solution not to occur the same incident that caused the death of her mother, thus preserving the species of vampires. After so many hours of study, she came to the conclusion that it would be best to perform her duties in secret and, when they were to quench their thirst for blood, to use new methods to avoid drawing attention due to recent facts and events. Her ideas and new strategies had already been established, and once they were put together, she would clarify her plan for a better and safer future.
