Lea, The Story of the Magus of the Casiopea Continent
The First Culture Shock

After Zalrin's death, I just stayed in the kitchen, pondering along with Betty who comforted me. Of course I still feel devastated by the assassination attempt that Zalrin was going to make on me earlier.

Betty repeatedly calmed me down and told me to drink a glass of hot chocolate, which she thought would calm me down. But, not solely I then downed a drink that looks steaming broadcast the aroma of sweet chocolate that actually makes me a little excited.

I am still burdened with the thought that if Zalrin the Vampire girl managed to kill me, then I will die in a land in the middle of nowhere, which no one knows me.. Oh my heart feels bitter. I don't want to die in a foreign place, in a place that doesn't accept me as a guest but rather this prisoner, I thought.

"Well at least died in a country where people recognize and love us, I think it's appropriate.

A few moments later after I felt calm now I had an interest in that steaming hot drink. Maybe Betty's right, a glass of hot chocolate will calm me down.

When I was sipping the hot chocolate drink that he said was soothing, suddenly Kravas entered the kitchen, a moment of silence... then he told Betty that he wanted to have a one-on-one conversation with me.

Betty rushes out of her kitchen after Kravas says. As soon as all his busyness with sliced meat and vegetables lunch later, he stopped and followed Lord Kravas' instructions.

When only the two of us remained in the empty kitchen it was the loud voice of the male Kravas the Vampire spoke in a soft tone to me.

" Lea's... Are you all right?" He looked at me inside.

This was the softest conversation I had ever heard from that fierce Vampire man. All this time, if he talked to me. It was like an army commander who was giving orders or instructions to a war soldier.

But suddenly everything changed. He was so considerate and gentle. Then I don't know why, I suddenly felt Kravas was an attractive, handsome man with his blue eyes.

Right now, however, I am just a 15-year-old girl who is in a state of slump after almost dying at the tip of the sword. Then when I heard the voice of a gentle man who comforted me, I fell into endless sobs.

Verily I myself hated myself when I had to shed tears in front of that almost Beautiful-eyed man, but who had also made me a prisoner on this foreign Island.

But no matter how hard I try, my tears will not compromise. At that moment, his shoulders were shaking even more. My tears are getting more and more overflowing. Then, somehow suddenly I was in the arms of that Vampire man.

With tears streaming down, now soaking in his expensive velvet shirt, I sobbed in Kravas' chest.

Kravas himself seemed to agree with all the actions of my children. Even she hugged my body gently and whispered,

"Everything has passed. Everything's gonna be fine. I have instructed that Zalrin is not allowed to roam around this Castle of mine anymore" explained Kravas.

After I was satisfied with my tears spilling like a stream of water, and all my feelings of relief, I realized that I was in the arms of the male Vampire race.

My cheeks instantly became red like a dicey shade and I cursed myself who I thought was shameless, taking advantage of the incident. I felt a little cliche by falling into the arms of one man with tears in my eyes.

I hastily release myself from the arms of Kravas whose hands are so long, slim, and muscular a sign that he is a true fighter who trains to make his muscles so tight.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cry in front of you.

Especially just wetting that velvet shirt" I said wiping tears with shame.

"I-I'm going to wash the clothes because it's wet and dirty with my tears" I said embarrassedly as my face flushed red

I've lived so long in this world and I can tell which tears are pretending and which are really natural, out of a heart that's been hit" kravas said with his thinly curved lips a sign that he was smiling.

I stared at that thin smile with a feeling of admiration he looked much more charming and charismatic even more handsome than his face which was always in a hard look like a war soldier.

As long as I was his prisoner, why did I see him smile this time.

I wondered in my heart, Am I being too innocent in my way to make that Vampire man smile?

I then deepened with embarrassment, while my cheeks were reddened. Obviously I was one of those women who was against the way other women used their weaknesses to seduce men.

And I was grateful in my heart, when Kravas removed the rigidity of the atmosphere by saying

"If you feel bored and have nothing to do in this castle, from today I allow you to use that combat training room, just practice the sword even if all your strength is blocked.

As a fighter, you need to practice relaxing your body muscles in light training, even without using any magic power at all" Kravas said.

Obviously I feel happy. I then screamed loudly and subconsciously I hugged the body of the Vampire man and thanked him.

After a while, I re-awakened with my actions that embraced Kravas like before. I apologized and said

"I'm sorry I hugged you like that.

Our custom in Scorpio City when expressing joy and gratitude is that we embrace each other. And it is a sign of affection and gratitude" I said a little puffed up.

His face hardened and went back to silence, frozen. He just nodded his head and then he left me in the kitchen alone, which fell in wonder in his heart.

"Have I done anything wrong by hugging him? But this is something that is often done by us human race on the continent of casiopea there" my inner self comfort.

I then noted in my heart that apparently this vampire race is a group of creatures that are rigid and do not like to express happiness with things that are intimate like that.

Then when I asked Betty about it after the woman returned to the kitchen, she said..

"Gesture and an intimate or warm thing in the style of your human race, that's just a sign of weakness for us Vampire race" said his pity to see me gawking.

"So never expect that you will get warm and intimate things, as the human race often did when you were on Minnetois Island, this Obsidian City"

******

Note: this is the first thing about culture shock during life on Minnetois Island along with the vampire race. Do not reveal intimate things because according to them, they are signs of a weak person.

Seriate.
