Feelings of admiration for him are now starting to exist.
Mardelia Zara Zeanne

"Where should I shower?"
"Take a bath near the boulder!"
Jeffry then went to look for fish for their breakfast. Zara is now walking into a calm river flow taking off her sweater and dress on the rock. Only a thin white shirt and black short pants remained.
Zara starts taking water with her hands and washes all over her body. "Jeffry! How can I shower without soap!" shouted Zara.
Jeffry did not respond, he focused on cleaning the fish he caught.
"He's always annoying!" Zara grumbled annoyed then continued her bath.
When she finished bathing, Zara came out of the water in a hurry because the cold made her foot step on a rock at the bottom of the river and slipped until the sweater she was carrying fell and was washed away. Luckily only the sweater.
"AKH!"
Jeffry leaves when he hears a scream from Zara. He was already a little worried if something bad happened.
"Why?"
"I sprained my leg." Zara winces in pain.
Jeffry stared in silence then his feet stepped into the river and grabbed Zara's body and carried Zara without saying a word.
Getting Jeffry's treatment that was so shocking, Zara stared in disbelief and at the same time fascinated by the handsome vampire who was carrying her. Now Zara's hands spontaneously wrapped around Jeffry's neck.
Next, Zara's heartbeat slowed as if time had stopped for them.
Jeffry sat down on Zara and took her robe.
"Cover your body!" Jeffry put his robe on Zara's body who looked shivering.
Zara still looked at Jeffry without blinking. She still didn't expect Jeffry's behavior to make her completely fascinated by the figure of a vampire, Jeffry Ernest Luxion.
"What do you want to do with my leg, Jeffry?!" Zara reflexively pulled her sprained leg when Jeffry wanted to hold her.
Jeffry looked embarrassed then pulled Zara's leg forcibly and shifted her bones without thinking. "Aaakhhhh!!" Zara screams really loud. It really hurts. Even though Zara is a doctor she has never felt her bones justified like before.
But after that, Zara's legs feel better and can move like before.
"You are so cruel Jeffry! It hurts so much don't you feel sorry for me,"
"Hurry up and eat your breakfast!"
Jeffry again left Zara who was still very upset with Jeffry's treatment but after that a happy smile was etched.
"He is very handsome!"
Zara stood up and followed Jeffry with his legs still a little limp.
"You burned the fish? You caught it yourself?"
Zara sat down and immediately took Jeffry's grilled fish without shame and then ate it voraciously until Jeffry who saw it smiled a little
"You eat too?!" Zara stopped her chewing because she saw Jeffry who was eating the grilled fish.
"Do I need to ask permission to eat the fish I caught myself?"
"It's not like that... Can you eat? Isn't it that you only drink blood!"
Jeffry shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and continued eating.
Zara's head, which was still full of questions, didn't bother and continued eating.
After a moment of silence, Jeffry looked at Zara who was still hungrily eating her grilled fish.
"Vampires do drink blood. But vampires can also eat food like humans. It's just that we can't digest this food, eating only reduces hunger. Blood is our nutrition."
Zara listened to Jeffry's explanation carefully. He thought at first Jeffry ignored his question. "Did I talk so much that Jeffry explained it at length," Zara thought with a mischievous smile.
"You drank blood, this morning?"
"Not yet. You want to give your blood?" Jeffery glared at him.
"Of course not! I was just asking," Zara shook her head quickly.
"After this I will look for fresh animal blood. You wait here, don't move from your seat before I come back."
Zara nods and eats her grilled fish again.

"Rico, did the shop assistant speak the truth?"
"He spoke the truth."
"I thought she was a good and beautiful lady. Actually I almost got her love but because of Somi everything failed.!" Alex glanced at Somi who was in front of him with embarrassment.
They are currently in the Jincheon forest. It shot into a black shadow that flashed through the forest. The six of them had now set foot in front of the gate that Zara had seen that night.
The towering buildings in front of them were real. Only immortals can see it. While humans only see it as a thick fog that cannot be passed because it makes us unable to see the road in this vast forest and maybe we can get lost, because it is rare for anyone to know this gate.
"Stop!"
Rico stopped his running and stepped in to find a footprint on the ground and took a little dirt from the footprint and sniffed it. "This is Zara's?" Rico looked at his brother. "Right, these are Zara's footprints,"
Rico started to close his eyes and sniff with full concentration and focus his mind on his sense of smell.
"River, Zara is in the river now!" Rico opened his eyes and looked at them confidently.
"You're done, you bastard vampire!" Gavian smiled triumphantly.
"You're great Rico., I'll be a big fan of yours from now on..." Alex looked really happy when he heard Rico's story.
"We're going to the river now!"
They dashed fast toward the river,

"Why is it taking Jeffry so long! My body is already shivering with cold and Jeffry still hasn't come back. Is it that difficult to catch an animal," Zara hugged her body tightly to warm it up a bit and leaned closer to the small fireplace to burn the fish which now only leaves smoke.
"I don't care what Jeffry said. If I freeze to death it's not funny is it..."
Zara stood up and walked to take her dress which Jeffry put on a tree branch while helping Zara slip earlier.
While busy wearing a dress, Zara stares in surprise at what she accidentally sees. He saw a black shadow flashing across the forest across the river. With all her initiative, Zara hid behind a big rock and crouched with a feeling of misgivings.
"Why haven't you come back Jeffry!! I'm so scared,"
Zara peeks from behind a rock and her eyes widen in shock when the shadow becomes a group of people wearing black robes like Jeffry's. Zara just looks at their backs. They all wore the hoods of their robes.
Zara pulled her body back to hide and thought hard so she wouldn't be caught by the horrible creatures she had seen.
"If it's just one, maybe I can run fast without getting caught but the six of them until I get caught I'm really exhausted."
When Zara was thinking while closing her eyes suddenly someone came over to her. Zara immediately shouted but quickly the person in front of her shuts Zara.
"Shut up! It's me!"
Zara opened her eyes wide and how relieved Zara was when her eyes caught Jeffry's figure in front of her.
Jeffry still covered Zara's mouth and Zara's gaze couldn't be separated from Jeffry's irises which began to turn red. "Hold your breath and don't make a sound! Understood!"
Zara nodded in understanding.
Jeffry quickly grabbed Zara's body in his arms and carried her fast, somewhere away from the vampires he saw who were none other than the vampire Lord Blanchard and his men.
As they approached the river bank they all stopped to see the smoke from the burnt wood.
"Where did he escape to?" Gavian gripped his hand tightly.
"I can't smell them anymore.!" Rico tried to find the scent that became his indicator. Zara's scent.
"Impossible, even if they ran away they weren't far away and I'm sure I could still smell Zara!"
"It's not impossible, the vampire we are dealing with is very clever," Edward stared at the small fireplace causing the others to turn to look at him in unison.
"He's burning chrysanthemums in this fireplace. These flowers make the scent here neutral and it's the smoke that spreads the scent, I know this because my mom loves flowers and she told me about these flowers," Edward picked up one unburned flower and pointed right,
they all look so frustrated and growl in anger. "When I meet that vampire I'll beat him until he's unconscious!" Alex, who previously looked a little relaxed, is now also getting emotional because of the vampire who kidnapped Zara...
