" Is Alia okay?" Ask Devian.
" Yes, he's already getting treatment." Said Charlie.
" What do we do now?, they all look at us as if they are ready to destroy us." Lirih Elena's.
" Joe, invite the other members to return to headquarters and treat their injuries there." Marcel's orders to joe.
" Good."
After all the vampire hunters have gone from there. Marcel approached Charlie's family.
" I'm sorry for the inconvenience. They just haven't gotten used to being in one room with a vampire. Because our job is to exterminate vampires and now we're with vampires, maybe that makes them wonder why."
" I got it. We think our business here is also done so we intend to leave. It's just that we're waiting for the host to say goodbye, but from now on we're waiting for the host not to reappear after coming inside." Charlie said with a smile.
" Ayeah, I also just realized that Albert has not returned after he asked permission to find his wife. If you wait here I'll look inside."
" Of course."
Marcel immediately walked inside the house to look for Albert and Emery.
Meanwhile, Edmund plays an eye to Devian as if Edmund wants to talk alone with him.
" Devian hearted, he's a vampire hunter could he exterminate you." Elena said when she found out the deviant was going to see Edmund.
" No, he just wanted to talk about the rescue." Devian said that he could read the thoughts of Edmund.
" all right. Just be careful."
" okay."
Devian looked towards Aliya who was still unconscious. Then walk to the balcony of Aliya's parents' house to meet Edmund.
" What's up?" Devian asked as soon as he reached Edmund
" I just want to thank you for helping us provide information about Gabriel's forces and also for helping us in our fight against them. Although I don't know for sure what makes you do all that."
" We didn't explain at the beginning that it was our intention to protect Alia as well as to protect ourselves. Because if Alia, gets into Gabriel's hands, Gabriel will prey on Aliya and make himself the most powerful and invincible vampire. And you can definitely guess what would happen if Gabriel became the most powerful vampire among the strong."
" It is certain that the human revolution will end soon." Edmund.
" And I'm sure if you call me here not just for that reason."
" You're a good mind reader, Devian." Praise Edmund with a smirk.
" Say. What do you want?" Devian asked who wanted to get straight to the heart of the conversation that Edmund was about to reveal.
" Look. You and I both know that we love the same woman. But can't you think about someone you love anymore?"
" Is it because Alia is a human being so you're afraid I'll take advantage of this closeness for my own personal gain?" Devian
" Yes that's possible because I still can't trust a vampire except your sister, Alice."
" Did you call me here and ask me to talk to get me away from Alia?" Ask Devian.
" Yes, maybe more or less like that."
" Edmund, come on, do you want to keep me away from Alia for fear of Alya's safety or for fear that you're getting out of Alia's sight?"
Edmund looked at Devian. He was eager to finish off the Vampire now because then there would be no one competing with him to gain Alia's heart.
" Edmund, I know that you were so eager to get my position in Alia's heart, and I ask that you also rethink what if I stopped approaching Aliya. But it turns out Gabriel is getting desperate to get Alia?. I'm not sure you can take care of Alia all day."
" I'm.."
" We compete in a healthy way. How about we keep Aliya together. Meaning you keep him in the day and I'll look after him at night."
Edmund remained silent. He just kept thinking about what Devian had just said.
" Alright then. But what if someday Alia will turn around to leave you and love me.?" Ask Edmund.
" I will gladly walk away from Aliya's life but on the condition that Alia herself will tell me to go." Devian.
" okay."
Good, I'll have more time with Alia during the day. So I can get Alia to think about me more than this vampire. Yes although I admit he is more handsome and cooler than me, but I am sure if I can replace his position in Alia's heart. Inner Edmund.
Devian just smiled hearing what Edmund had in mind. Devian walked back inside the house to see if Aliya was conscious or not.
Meanwhile Marcel could only shake his head as he watched Emery and Albert sleep on the floor.
" God if a house this big is no place for them to rest. Why do they choose the floor for their bed?.is their floor so comfortable that they choose to lie on the floor rather than on a soft bed?"
Marcel didn't realize they were both fainting, but Marcel thought they were resting on the floor. Out of curiosity Marcel ended up lying next to Albert to ascertain whether the floor was really comfortable or not.
" Sir, what are you doing here? Why are you lying down with Mr and Mrs." Said the housekeeper and 4 other people who were seen carrying palanquins.
" Ah, i. I'm just trying to sleep like them, 'cause they look so good that I was thinking maybe the floor was so comfortable that they chose to sleep here instead of on the bed."
" Pff..."
Marcel was astonished to see the five maids smiling and looking to hold back his laughter
" Why are you laughing?. Come and try lying here, and feel whether the floor is really comfortable or not. Because I feel that the floor is as uncomfortable as the floor in general."
" Of course the floor is not comfortable because it is an ordinary floor."
" Why do they seem to sleep so comfortably?"
" It's because they both are passing out sir. That's why I called the other guards to carry the palanquin because we would lift them both up and put them in a more comfortable place."
" What?, so they both fainted?"
Marcel watched the two while scratching his head. He instantly realized how foolish he was to think they were sleeping on the floor.
