Incubus' Blood Harem-Chapter 57 Confronting Medusa | Part 2
'I can't take this anymore. Why is he acting like he doesn't know me?'
Medusa looked straight into her father's eyes, trying hard to figure out why was he acting like that. The succubus was unable to comprehend why did his behaviour suddenly changed from lovingly sweet of that night to the current one. Medusa saw the old man standing in front of her with a stern gaze.
She felt Aiden leaning forward within just a flash movement, and reached for Ceres' collars as he hissed at him. Whereas Medusa was completely zoned out due to her father's actions and cold treatment towards her.
'Why is he even here? And who even hired him? Ugh, how did he even manage to hide his identity?'
The succubus had numerous such questions which required answers as soon as possible. Because things seemed to have gotten even more fishy. However she needed to stay in the academy with Kayden to find out why Ceres was working there.
'I can't let him see me like this. No, no Medusa you can't show him that you are affected by his actions and bullshit.'
Medusa averted her head and sneakily wiped off her tears when Ceres was talking to Aiden. They both had a heated confrontation which resulted into nothing. Ceres had to maintain his position in the academy, which required asserting dominance.
"Leave him, Aiden. Let's go."
Medusa reached for his arm and gently pulled back Aiden, while her voice calmed him. He refrained from beheading the professor Ceres, who was dead set to provoke both of them. However Aiden stepped back and turned around with Medusa when they both simply ignored he professor's presence.
She did not want to deal wit her father anymore due to his dual behaviours and cold treatments. Medusa did not intend to confuse herself with someone's actions, who was himself not loyal to anyone let alone his own daughter.
Whereas Ceres just raised his one eyebrow in suspicion and called out for Medusa who did not imagine to ever hear those words. The nonchalant voice fell in her ears and hit like a hard slap across her cheek. She knew that Ceres did not care about her but she expected him to at least care for her a bit.
But her assumptions were soon turned upside down when she heard those words. Ceres somehow blackmailed a professor to make him replace Ceres in his spot. Because he intended to stay close to Medusa after his last visit to Jones' house. He already suspected that something was fishy and Medusa hid some important news from him.
However he simply did not want to confront her about the 'potential heir' of the former queen succubus. Ceres knew his daughter and fully acknowledged how she would react upon his confrontation about the heir. She will just warn the boy and take him away somewhere hidden to protect him.
"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."
Medusa halted immediately upon hearing the horrible news, while Aiden's eyes turned glowing crimson red. His silhouette moved a bit when Medusa held his hand imminently to stop him. She already knew his potential and acknowledged that Ceres could also feel Aiden's powers.
"Shush, calm down." ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
The succubus whisperer while leaning closer to him, the effect caused by Medusa's voice sent a shiver down Aiden's spine. Medusa crept in between Ceres and Aiden, as she confronted him by the same words. She knew how to trap the old man in his own words. After all they both shared the same cunning blood.
"Consequences, uh? For putting the lives of other students in danger? Oh really now!?"
She crossed her arms and stood in front of Ceres with confidence while placing one leg bent a little ahead. Aiden on the other hand smiled at her courage and admired his mistress for being able to step up unlike that victim girl.
"And why am I responsible for all this mess? His fucking guard was the one who killed a girl right there at the entrance. But nobody is going to question that, right? And here I am declared responsible for it just because I had a little play with my friend? Hypocrisy at its best. Just great!"
Medusa mocked him by reminding Ceres of that girl who just got murdered and was still not served justice.
"A little play? Young lady, do you really have no manners to follow the decorum of a public place?"
Ceres returned the bashing to her upon hearing Medusa talking back to him. Whereas the other students began to pull out phones to record the whole scenario. Because it had been once in a while that a student had insulted a professor.
"No, sir. I'm sorry but my scoundrel father was not capable of teaching me anything. But why are you avoiding the actual issue?" 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢
Ceres widened his eyes upon the blunt remarks and the hatred in her tone. He could not react on the particular matter which was deliberately brought up by Medusa. However Aiden could not grasp why she would curse her own father by using such degrading words.
"I am not avoiding the matter, rather I'm not interested in believing in a brat like you. Who knows you are not spewing lies to protect yourself and this…this boyfriend of yours!?"
Ceres became grumpy with his tone but kept himself calm outwardly. He had to hide his identity thus controlling rage was one of the necessary precautions.
"Although the matter with that female victim will proceed by scrutiny. Justice will be served."
He immediately took the liberty to state the things further, handling the situation could earn him a longer stay in the academy. Aiden became irritated by Ceres' constant allegations of lies, he could sense that Medusa was also bubbling with rage. He had to do something to impress and help his mistress, after all that's what a loyal slave does to get some favours.
