"Him, of course, you silly," Hadeon chuckled with amusement, while leaving Mallory dumbstruck.Â

"Monkey Mal is upset that she isn't the number one servant of mine yet, as she has lots to learn. Her devotion knows no bounds," Hadeon dramatically announced, one hand placed over his chest. "She even filled the bathtub with her tears over it."

"But you have yourself, haven't you?" Hadeon raised his eyebrows and then said, "Well, lucky you. I will give you the needed crash course in bath time etiquette."

In her haste to finish the task, Mallory came to the side of the bathtub and moved her hands in a lightning speed on Hadeon's arm, prompting him to stare at her. His eyes narrowed, and he couldn't resist a sarcastic jab, "Do you think I'm a floor waiting to be scrubbed?"

"I… my heart is crying with joy," Mallory replied sarcastically, taking the hairstick from him.Â

"I believe that's quite sufficient," Hadeon's voice sliced through the air as Mallory poured soap flakes from a jar into the bath. "Are you deliberately emptying the entire jar to provoke a reaction from me, or is it simply because you've mistaken this for a laundry time?" His eyes slightly narrowed as he stared at her.Â

"Thank you for telling me that. I didn't know it," Mallory retorted with a touch of sarcasm, going not unnoticed by Hadeon.

"Do vampires drown in water?" she asked hesitantly, hoping to distract herself from the impending awkwardness.

"If it were normal, I would personally take you to church and have you rid of your sins," Hadeon stated in a nonchalant tone. "But as your master, you know there are always exceptions to the rules." He paused for a moment before adding, "And there's no need to worry about underperforming and dying by my hands. I am a tolerant man."

Hadeon loomed over her like a shadow that was eclipsing the sun. His golden eyes bore into hers, and his eyebrows quirked up in question, "Hm? I merely asked if my loyal servant was going to assist with my bath, but it appears someone's taken a detour to the sinful land."

Her eyes! Where was the holy water when she needed to cleanse her vision?! Maybe she needed to splash acid in her brain.

Mallory's cheeks flared red, and she averted her gaze, scolding Hadeon with exasperation, "For goodness sake, put your shirt on! Do you have no sense of shame?!" She couldn't help but notice his trousers riding dangerously low on his hips.

"Are you waiting to bathe me with hot water or…" Hadeon teased her, dropping the shirt to the ground that he had balanced with one of his fingers.Â

"Always with the graveyard. You must have been a grave keeper or a coffin maker in your past life," Hadeon tutted her. "You are right, though."

"Tsk, picky child," Hadeon remarked before a smug smile appeared as he noticed Mallory clinging to the blanket. "You know, if you want to smell me, all you have to do is ask. There is no need to hug my blanket as if you cannot live without it. I know I am irresistible, but we need some boundaries here."

"What are you doing, monkey?" Hadeon questioned, and a sly smile danced on his lips as he watched Mallory's attempt to escape. As he got out of bed, it lightly creaked, which only made her clutch the blanket tighter. "Trying to be part of the circus for my personal entertainment?"

"Something smells exquisite this morning," Hadeon murmured. Mallory remembered she had brought him a glass of blood so that he could have the strength to annoy her more, she sarcastically thought to herself.Â

"Take this to Lord Hadeon's room."
