Chapter 28 Close Shave!

'This old man is trying to put me in trouble. Gah!'

Medusa mumbled to herself as she headed towards the arcade, the woman was ready to defend herself if Kayden behaved rudely with her. The succubus clenched the hem of her shirt and felt disgusted upon remembering that it was Kayden's shirt. She could not help but to feel like a fool who assumed more than she should have.

She opened the door slightly to make sure he was still asleep before the succubus intended to run away right after waking him. Kayden on the other hand was soundly sleeping, Medusa headed inside and halted near the bed.

'Look at him! Such an insensitive jerk. Malcolm was right, the queen's seed is incapable of showing basic decency.'

Medusa scoffed and then glared at Kayden while studying his expressions. She could not fathom but pity herself for getting attracted to a guy like him, who probably did not see her as an equal let alone a love interest. She shook her head to focus and raised her voice to wake up Kayden, Medusa pulled him by the forearm and constantly stated her purpose of coming.

"Wake up!"

Kayden groaned and shifted his side to avoid her, which irked her because Medusa was already not in a good mood. And seeing Kayden throwing tantrums annoyed her to the extent that the succubus unfolded her tail around the waist to do the deed.

"Are you not going to comply, uh?"

She questioned the half sleepy boy laying on bed and waited for Kayden to respond while she stared at him angrily.

He did not reply, permitting Medusa to use her ways to satiate her anger. She wrapped her tail around Kayden's waist and lifted him a bit to toss the guy off the bed. Their tails and horns were one of the powerful weapons and both were strong enough to play the role of another person during fights. She crossed her arms and tucked beneath her breasts, as the succubus patiently waited to hear his rants.

"What the hell!? Are you nuts?"

Kayden shouted as soon as he fell on the floor over his face and hit it pretty badly. He managed to get up by supporting himself on the edge of the bed only to see a scary succubus. Medusa stood there with a nonchalant expression as her tail was alert up in the air resembling a scorpio. Kayden rubbed his eyes and held his hurt nose, he refrained from shouting further acknowledging she would not hold back from attacking.

"Jones is waiting for you downstairs in twenty minutes."

She stated the deadline in one breath and turned around to leave the room without water for his reply. The door closed and Kayden sighed with relief, he could visibly feel the difference in her behavior and aura. It differed from the last night and the very thought reminded him to ask where she vanished after midnight. Nonetheless he raked through his hair and got up from the floor to head for a bath.

[Back in the lounge- kitchen]

Medusa arrived in the lounge when Jones was done putting everything on the table and sat down quietly. The old man took a few moments to break the ice between them and questioned.

"How did it go? Is he awake?"

The succubus tucked her back with the chair and pouted angrily as she complained to the old man who listened to her with attention.

"He is and will remember this morning forever. You sure have a spoiled son, Jones."

She shifted her gaze towards the old man who put the teapot on the table. Jones chuckled upon her words and patted on Medusa's head which caught her off the guard. And she could not react to the kind gesture for which she had always yearned from her father.

"It seems you have already taken your revenge, haha."

Jones teased her and appeared to be totally fine with Medusa and Kayden coming at each other's collars. Nonetheless she smiled sarcastically at him pretending she was not affected by his kind fatherly gesture.

"I have put some clothes of Kayden's mother on the sofa, I will be happy if they are put to some use."

The old man pointed towards the certain direction while Medusa could not help but ponder upon his previous words.

"Thank you."

Her voice was shallow though the gratitude was genuine because it finally cleared the misunderstanding and she realised Jones really loved Kayden's mother. The old man nodded when Kayden entered the scenario and greeted both of them.

"Good morning, dad."

He deliberately ignored Medusa to make her feel guilty for the earlier act. But the succubus was not going to submit herself to his manipulation anymore.

Medusa completely ignored his presence and did not even bother to look at him. Jones could already sense the cold War but perhaps it was wise not to butt in at that time.

"Where are my shoes, dad?"

Kayden raked through his hair and flexed his good looks which were enhanced due to his awakening. He was clad in a casual attire, and ready to visit the academy in a new avatar.

"Where they always are, in the storeroom."

The old man totally forgot about putting Malcolm's body in the storeroom. Although he was kept hidden in a box, the stench of blood was still lingering in the storeroom. It was bearable for Jones due to his years of practice but it affected differently in Kayden's case.

'Oh shit!'

He headed towards the storeroom totally unaware while Jones recalled his big mistake while he was pouring tea. The old man's eyes sparkled crimson with the realisation which could be lethal for all of them.

He could not afford to let Kayden loose once again only to kill someone else. However Medusa was aware that she was required to keep him distracted from focusing too much on drinking blood, if Kayden happened to smell it accidentally while being outside and away from Jones.
