"Lord Hadeon! Lady Mallory is missing from her room—and she's nowhere to be found within the castle walls!"

"A decoration for the room!" Ivy popped into the room. "Would you like me to bring dead flowers into the vase?"

While returning towards the carriage, Mallory's heart almost jumped out of her chest upon seeing people with their cracked skins and slit eyes, along with untamed hair which looked like they hadn't been combed in several years.

"Keep calling me your wife like that, and I might just start taking it seriously," Mallory teased, her voice laced with allure.

As if that wasn't enough, Hadeon leaned closer to her, almost stealing her breath, when he said, "Your cheeks are appearing to look like ripened apples."

Hadeon only raised his hand towards her face and placed his index finger on her forehead. He then said, "The world is a deception filled with colours over the grey. Now you will see what I see for the world the way it is."

Hadeon wasn't subtle when it came to testing the tea too, and he then offered it to Mallory with a grin. He stated, "Sharing is caring in marriage and love."

However, before Mallory could grasp it, Hadeon intercepted the glass and took a sip. After savouring the taste, he clicked his tongue and said, "The juice looked so good, I couldn't resist not taking a sip."

As they stepped out of the house, Hadeon leaned in, his voice low, "Looks like your first friend is a witch and not a very good one."

Sable, seemingly oblivious to the undercurrents, was fixated on Hadeon with an intrigued gaze. Breaking into a warm smile, she suggested, "Why don't you both come over and have a cup of tea?" She then turned to Mallory, her eyes brightening. "I remember you liking the herbal tea. It's been so long since we last caught up with each other. Our vacations together were always too short."

The ends of Hadeon's lips stretched into a broad grin, his eyes twinkling as he remarked, "So it doesn't matter that she could have eaten children's organs, because she was nice to you?"

For a split second, George nearly convinced himself that Hadeon had just referred to him as "wifey." His eyes widened in bafflement, and his ears began to turn pink—but then he noticed Hadeon's gaze was fixed on Mallory, not him. George's jaw dropped open in utter astonishment.

"Indeed, you are right. Barnby could use your help." Hadeon nodded with a thoughtful expression. "You will be taking up the tasks he has today. Barnby," he called his butler-come coachman. "Lead Georgie to your duties today."

"L—Lord Hadeon," George said, looking startled by Hadeon's presence, and he quickly offered him a bow. How times changed, Mallory thought to herself. The human then said, "I was thinking, now that it has been two weeks since I started to work, how about I do something more useful to you and in the castle? Like, help Barnby when he's not here, uh?" His smile faltered.

"Where have you been all night?! Hadeon wasn't in the castle either!" George's voice was thick with concern, and his brows knitted in a serious interrogation mode. "Did you roll in the mud?"

While not far away from them, a shadow stood behind a tree and heard the conversation that had taken place inside the inn and the vampire murmured, "Hadeon Van Doren married a human?"
