Hello there. Nice to see you weren't kicked out or cooked in.
Hmm? Remilia? You want to know what I think of her?
She tries to hide it, but she's a nice person doing her best to protect her family. Even through in her case, she has a rather vague definition of family. For people like you and me, used to having brothers and sisters, a family is a blood bond, something that you can't choose, something that you can't deny. Even if you disinherit your children, they'll be your children forever. Even if your brother gets himself wounded in a battle because he was an idiot, he's still your brother, so you do your best to help him. For people like us, family is imposed on us, and yet we accept it. Remilia is different, she doesn't have any family, she just brought people from different places, and called them "family".
No, no, no, that's too deep. I'm not trying to analyze her brain or something. I just know her well. I saw her growing up, I saw her accepting what she was, and I saw her turning into an abomination.
What? Oh, you didn't know that? Can we pretend I never said that?
You're not really a nice person, you know that? Asking questions, writing everything in your little book while pretending you're just recording history. Listen to me, that house, this family is barely holding itself together with lies and and made-up stories, but it's still a family I want to protect.
Oh, fine, you really want to know? I was sold to Remilia's father on a slave market in Beijing centuries ago. I could've broke free at any moment, but I wanted to see the world, and live differently. And everything worked perfectly, I was brought back in France, and the Mistress freed me when she understood that her husband bought a woman.
No, she had no problem with me being a slave. She was just afraid I would seduce her husband with my exotic look and my red hair. Poor woman, if she knew... Her husband just wasn't my type.
I served Remilia's parents for years, until Remilia appeared. That was not my brightest moment back then, I remember panicking and running around while screaming "so that's how human are reproducing?"
Hu? Of course I'm not human. Couldn't you figure that already? For a historian, you're not that sharp.
Yes, I said "Remilia's parents".
Why, you ask?
Because, as I told you, they just act like sisters, but Remilia is not Flandre's sister. Remilia was turned into a vampire decades before Flandre.
