The Vampire's Bride

Aldo looked at the end of his solution. "So you just use this formula whenever this is unknown."

Mallory watched as he continued teaching. "Mm..."

Aldo: "Okay, let's go to the next problem. Let's see... ah! It's the same concept. Okay, so first we need to write the given first."

Mallory: "Mm..."

Aldo: "So with this, we use the same equation as earlier, okay?"

Mallory: "Mm, mm..."

Aldo: "..."

Aldo stopped. He slowly raised an eyebrow as he watched the girl stare at the paper blankly. "So what's the next step?"

Mallory: "Mm..."

Aldo: "Do you think that this is correct?"

Mallory: "Mm..."

Aldo: "... Do you love Leo?"

Mallory: "No..."

So that last question was the only thing that stayed in your head and not my teachings?

"Are these even entering your mind?" Aldo asked.

Sighing, Mallory shook her head before nodding. Raising an eyebrow, Jillion asked amusedly, "Which is it?"

"As much as I want to maximize the time Master Jillion and Aldo had for me, it seems that there's a limit to how much information I could take..." Mallory mumbled as she fixed her hair.

"Then I'll teach you again before your exams," Aldo said as he patted her head. Smiling, he realized that he missed the old times when he could pat her head.

"Thank you, Aldo." Mallory smiled as she started fixing her things when she suddenly felt her hair on her body standing straight.

She immediately looked at the door, her eyes filled with fears. As if she was drenched in cold water, her body had obviously started trembling. Aldo grabbed her shoulders, "Mallory, what's wrong?"

Mallory did not even bother to look at him as she continued to watch the door. Her voice turned out soft, "A-A-Aldo... th-they're... here..."

"They?" Jillion could hear Brian's voice from the outside and immediately stood up watching the door as well.

Soon enough, the noises stopped and they could not hear a thing. Aldo gave a quick look on Jillion as the other walked towards the door. Slowly, Jillion stayed alert as he went closer.

BANG!

"OUCH!"

The door flew open when Jillion was just a step or two away. It did not hit his whole face but was still painful. Whoever kicked it was surely angry. Of course, it also made the victim angry. "WHO THE HELL KICKS OTHER PEOPLE'S DOOR?!"

Jillion looked at the man who just entered when he heard a small voice at the back of his head saying, "Threat detected."

Narrowing his eyes, Jillion ignored the pain from his left cheek as he immediately went back a few steps. "May I know why you're here?"

The man just took a glance at him and said, "That's a nice mark on your cheek. Mind telling me where to get it?"

"Sure. Just stand in my position a second ago and let me reenact what you did," Jillion spatted.

Aldo, who was serious at first, could not help but stifle a laugh. He whispered in a voice audible to only him and Mallory, "He learned from the best (me)!"

Mallory felt the pressure leaving her body when she heard the two. But she still felt like the boys were taking the situation too lightly.

She looked at the man who paid no heed to what Jillion said and was instantly enveloped with fear as soon as they had eye contact. With a shivering voice, she asked, "Father... since when did you come back?"

"A couple of days ago. You sure kept yourself hidden well. Now, let's go." I don't want to waste another second here.

Mallory knew what he wanted and thought about the situation. It's not like it's the first time she escaped the house but her father never went to make an appearance. Since he was here now... it could only mean one thing — her grandfather is coming home.

Her grandfather, whom people call Great Master Dan or sometimes, Gin, was one of the people whom her father feared at the moment. If she remembered correctly, her grandfather made a statement that within the next three months, the heir to his possessions will be decided. That's probably why her father was in a hurry and made an appearance. After all, if the grandfather knew what they've been doing to her, then they will probably live the rest of their lives with nothing but their clothes on.

Mallory bit her lip. If she went home now, then she can have a couple of days... no, probably weeks, of peace. She was sure that Leo will honor their promise. Having made up her mind, she was about to speak when she saw a hand in front of her. "Long time no see, Uncle Odin."

Uncle?!

Odin and his family were confused. They could not remember meeting the man yet he seemed to be strangely familiar. Too familiar that it was scary.

Odin glanced at his daughters and noticed the confusion evident in their faces. This man... was not the Young Master Orpheus. He looked at the man and asked cautiously, "Who are you and what is your relation with my daughter?"

My daughter? Mallory felt like puking blood. He actually had the guts to call her his daughter! After all these years of hiding... never did he genuinely care for her. How can he call her his daughter?

Aldo noticed the change in Mallory's emotions but did not question. He placed a hand on her shoulder and answered the question, "Uncle Odin has surely aged. No worries, I will remind you."

Odin was agitated by what the man said but kept his mouth shut. If this man was someone with a high standings, it would be best to think of what he should do next. However, if he wasn't... then it goes without saying. He'll have him disappear from the area. After all, he, himself, had the power to do so. But when he heard the young man continuing, Odin was left stunned and disappointed.

"I am the ex-fiancé of Mallory. Surely that's enough to recall who I am, right?"

"Don't lie to me, young man. Surely you know how dangerous it is when you lie," Odin warned, not taking his words seriously.

"Also if you're gonna lie, why take the name of a dead man?"

Hearing his warning, Aldo suddenly laughed. Just because he was under Zorek's control does not mean that he has forgotten how to defend himself. "Uncle, Mallory and I used to play at the hospital. I accompanied her until it was time to go home. My parents even enjoyed her company when I bring her to my house. Of course, it's quite an eye-opener scene... that day when you and your family barged into my house while my parents were away just so you could drag her out of the house."

The girls' faces changed as they listened to the young man speak. At first they were mocking him but at the end of his speech, they were filled with fear and disbelief.

Such reactions did not escape Aldo's eyes and was slightly satisfied. "Now, Uncle Odin, Auntie Mikva, Sister Thana, Sister Anna... perhaps now, you remember me, right?"
