The bait had begun, Mallory thought to herself, her eyes meeting the calm golden eyes from a distance.

'As for the tavern keeper, he had it coming.' Hadeon's earlier words echoed in her mind.

"Did you catch that, monkey? It seems I've got fans wherever I go." He then feigned tiredness, "The struggles of being adored. It's exhausting. To think I have touched so many lives." Mallory was certain that those 'touched' by Hadeon would've preferred less contact, given his skill of providing a one-way ticket to the afterlife.

"Mallory," Hadeon called her by her name to her surprise. "Have you fallen in love with me? You have been staring at me a lot. I wouldn't be surprised, because of how loveable I am."

Simultaneously, Mallory's gaze fixed on Hadeon as he deftly gathered his long locks, securing them into a sleek ponytail. With his hair now neatly tied back, his piercing eyes commanded attention, which exuded a calm aura that felt unnerving. She later realised he had done it so to avoid being compared to George's hideous art that covered the walls of the town.

"Please don't strain yourself. You're not going anywhere, and I'm right here," Jane reassured her, seeing Martha smile and hum in response. But two weeks later, with the winter growing harsher, the old woman passed away peacefully in her sleep.

"We'll see about that tomorrow, Mr. Wood. Have a good day," Jane replied, turning back with a small smile on her lips as she got inside.

"I will," Agnes replied, wondering if she would enjoy Corby.

"About what? I had no hands or fangs in the woman's death," Hadeon replied, his head tilting ever so slightly. "This time, I am as innocent as a newborn kitten. Meow." Mallory frowned as she stared at Hadeon's golden eyes. If it wasn't him, then who was it?

"I know it sounds strange, but upon washing the wound on the neck, there were two dots on the deceased's neck. Another woman from our village met a similar fate! A few of us have banded together discreetly to investigate, as not everyone know about these forgotten creatures. We seek your aid, if you would be willing to lend your assistance," said the village man.

Hadeon's expression shifted suddenly, his voice taking on a dramatic tone. "No! No matter how tempting my sacred abs may be, I simply cannot permit you to touch them at night!" His declaration drew a flush to Mallory's cheeks, which only deepened when they encountered two curious villagers in the hallway. "Oh no, I hope you did not hear that…!" he said in a surprised voice.

"You're practically my neighbour, monkey. It appears that you relished your punishment a bit too much. Maybe I should reserve a grave for you right next to mine," Hadeon remarked, his smirk stretching wider as his golden eyes twinkled with amusement.

So father, please don't look for us, as Gary and I have embarked on a new chapter together, one filled with love and sex.

I pen this letter because I won't be able to say it to you directly. Father… I am madly in love with our trusty coachman, Gary. It was fate that made us spend so much time together that we fell in love. True love, father, and he loves me for who I am. He loves bald heads, and I have decided to shave them off for him. And frankly, I couldn't be happier. It will be easier during the summer heat.

"What Mallory? Lady Mallory Winchester," Hadeon scolded, his tone dripping with disapproval as he shot George a stern look. "It looks like someone forgot to teach you manners, or you must have forgotten to pick it up. But fear not, Georgie. Van Doren Castle is just the place for such errands. How great is that?" He flashed a bright smile.

"Stop contemplating the direction of the knife and focus on the target," Hadeon's voice drawled, his grin as sharp as the knives. "And if you need some motivation, just think about the lovely times you spent with Georgie. You know how he tarnished your reputation and practically escorted you to the scaffold. There's no need to worry about damaging something that is already damaged. Isn't that right, Georgie?"

As Mallory took a deep breath and reached for one of the knives, determination etched across her face. She turned to face George, whose eyes bulged with fear. She had punched his nose with precision before, so how bad could her aim really be. Right?

Next to the woman, a person with red eyes growled, but that wasn't all. Soon there were a couple more growls from different directions, and one that came right next to Mallory.
