Chapter 56 Confronting Medusa

Medusa stood there in the arcade of the building with Aiden, her arm was placed on his shoulder when someone approached them from behind. The audience which had already come out from the hiding began to hesitate upin seeing someone standing behind Medusa. The succubus was standing right in the middle of the arcade where a tall brawly figure appeared behind her confidence silhouette.

"Sir?"

A male student chirped hesitantly and stepped back, the rest of them lowered their heads while Medusa became reluctant to glance back. The succubus felt a familiar aura which stunned her and raised so many questions. But she had to confirm that her hunch was absolutely wrong as much as she hoped it to be.

Medusa jerked off Aiden's hand which was embracing her shoulder and slowly turned around with her pacing heartbeat. The succubus wanted her gut feeling to be wrong but perhaps things were not going as she had expected and assumed.

'No, no. It can't be. Dad!'

She was deep down elated to see that her father did not leave, assuming that he might have actually stayed in the vampire realm to protect her. Medusa could not believe her eyes that the man standing right in front of her would do so much just to have her back.

The naive succubus assumed that Ceres was perhaps here to win her love. However the sneaky incubus did not seem to be oozing a lenient and loving vibe. Which went completely unnoticed by Medusa who became blinded by the love of her father.

"What is going on here?"

Ceres asked in a stern voice bringing Medusa back to her senses that she had been mistaking the whole situation wrong way. The succubus immediately looked around herself to know if someone would speak to narrate the whole situation. But when no one uttered anything and exchanged glances towards each other, Medusa took the liberty to speak and to tell everything to Ceres.

"Sir, actually I…"

Ceres immediately stopped her by raising his hand up in the air, which caught Medusa off the guard and she got quiet. However the question began to buzz in her mind why would Ceres come there and meet her? Was that really necessary and if supposedly he was keeping an eye on Medusa to protect his daughter, how did he manage to get a job at the academy?

'What exactly is he planning? I knew something was wrong, but what the heck is he even trying to do?'

Medusa stared straight into his eyes while the old man stood there with his both hands tucked back over hips. Ceres was dressed in the university attire which raised the questions regarding why was he acting like not knowing her!?

"Not you, miss. You have already caused so much trouble. You don't get to speak in this matter before the witnesses."

Whereas Ceres shifted his gaze from Medusa towards some random guy who stood nearby and questioned him. The certain words pierced Medusa's heart who did not expect the cold treatment from her father.

"You? You tell me what happened here?"

He inquired from the boy who hesitated to stay anything anything thus kept his mouth shut. But upon Ceres' insistence he had to comply after all he was appointed as the professor there. The man raised his one eyebrow and nodded during the little story time. Medusa lowered her hands and averted her gaze, she could not bear to look into the eyes of her own vile father.

Aiden on the other hand was sure that something was wrong with his mistress, he was now bound to Medusa by the magic and was obliged to serve her. He slipped his hand around Medusa's shoulder and made sure to gently massage her forearm so she could feel better. Aiden kept on silently listening to Ceres, the professor while making sure Medusa would command him right on time.

"So, miss, whoever you are….the whole incident here indicates that you are guilty of provoking the guard and violating the rules of the premises."

Ceres confronted Medusa as if he had never known her not even knew who she was. The succubus stares deeply at him straight in his eyes, there was an utter painful expression on her face which made Aiden uneasy.

He was bound to serve his mistress and ease her pain because of the magical bond between them. He stepped in between Ceres and Medusa who was nearly at the verge of crying. Medusa clenched her fists in anger and resentment towards Ceres who publicly denied her existence as his daughter. Once again!

"You are getting the whole situation wrongly, Sir. Your perception is created by people here. How can you conclude the punishment when you we not even a witness?"

Aiden burst out in rage upon seeing the condition of his mistress, Medusa. He could not see the succubus becoming angry or sad at the confrontation. Thus he took the liberty to make things right by doing same with Ceres.

"And who are you, young man? Oh right, you are the one involved with her. Why Why you think you hold any say on this matter, when you are involved yourself in this scandal?"

Ceres mocked him completely neglecting what kind of higher class he belonged to, whereas Aiden took those words to his heart. And pounced forward to hiss at Ceres who in turn stood silent knowing that nothing could be done.

Ceres was well aware by now that Aiden was practically untouchable. He could sense his energy and potential by the power which was oozing from Aiden's body. Medusa on the other hand could not take anymore and turned around in despair.

Whereas Ceres just raised his one eyebrow in suspicion and called out for Medusa who did not imagine to ever hear those words.

"Where are you running to, miss? Don't think you can escape from punishment. You have to suffer the consequences for putting the lives of other students in danger."
