She got up slowly and sat on the bed, trying not to make a single sound. However, the young man was very alert. He immediately opened his eyes and when he saw Marion moving on the bed; he hurriedly got up and knelt at the foot of the bed.
"How are you?" he asked in the gentlest voice Marion had ever heard. The girl could only stare at him with amazed eyes. She hadn't noticed the man's face before, and now she was surprised to see that he was wearing a black leather mask which covered most of his face.
Alaric was aware of how Marion was transfixed by his face. He realized that the girl felt uncomfortable with the mask he was wearing.
Alaric smiled slightly, sat down next to the fake Aleksis and took the girl's right hand, then touched it to his face.
"The doctor said you might be a little dazed and so you may not be able to immediately remember everything that happened. It's only natural for people who were in a coma like you. I'm just glad to see that you're fine." He closed his eyes and let 'Aleksis' hand rub his face.
Marion began to feel uncomfortable. This man seemed to love Aleksis very much, she thought. Wasn't this one of the assassins of Alaric Rhionen? What had happened exactly? Was this guy also secretly related to Aleksis?
"Why are you wearing a mask?" the girl asked him in a soft voice. She must find out what really happened. "Sorry, I can't remember who you are."
Alaric opened his eyes and nodded, "It's okay, I will wait for your memory to recover. But from now on, I will no longer hide anything from you. I'm sorry because even though we are married, I didn't trust you to tell you the truth. I'm sorry , really."
Married?!
Marion's mind went dizzy. She did not know Aleksis had married this man.
Did her parents know? Did Lauriel know ?? ?
WHO WAS THIS MAN ACTUALLY ??
Wasn't he just ... or
Was he Alaric Rhionen himself...?
"Uhm ... I can't remember anything due to the accident. Can you please tell me who you are?" Marion looked at the pair of purple eyes with questions. Hmm ... his eyes felt very familiar. Lest the Alaric Rhionen that they met all this while was not the real Alaric, but ...
Alaric nodded. "Of course, I'll tell you everything. There are no more secrets between us."
He patted the fake 'Aleksis' hand gently and started telling his story.
"My name is Alaric Rhionen. We met for the first time on a night train in Thailand, and at that time you were on an adventure with your godfather, Uncle Rory. When we first met, you called me Prince Siegfried; you were very funny ... 9 years later you were almost kidnapped by a human trafficking plot in Singapore and we met again. At that time you also lost your memory temporarily and I couldn't find your family - again you called me Prince Siegfried, that's why I was able to contact your Uncle Rory. We spent a week together until you regained your memory, and I never expected that for the 8 years after that incident, you kept thinking about me and even looked for me to Singapore."
Alaric looked at the fake Aleksis with a loving look. While the girl just listened to his story with an increasingly stirred heart. This was really Alaric Rhionen, and whom they saw earlier was a fake Alaric!
"I closed my heart from anyone for decades, but you broke through. You were the first woman who loved me so deeply and made me experience feelings I had never known before. In short, I fell in love with you, and so did you. The feelings that we have for each other is so strong and mind blowing that you asked me to marry you after only four days together ..."
Marion pressed her mouth together, muffled. She did not expect Aleksis and Alaric's relationship to be that close. They were even married!
"Th ... then, what happened. What haven't you told me?" Marion asked in a trembling voice. All this information made her heart shake.
This was all a mistake.
All this while the Wolf Pack had been trying to free Aleksis from the influence of Alaric Rhionen ...
While maybe Alaric Rhionen thought he had to save Aleksis from the hands of bad people.
"I started wearing this mask 7 years ago, with the excuse that my face was badly disfigured in an accident, and you believed me. But the truth is ..." Alaric sighed and slowly opened his mask, "Actually I want to cover up the fact that I don't age. You think that I'm an ugly man in my 40s. But actually, I'm much older than that ... I was born in 1945."
Marion screamed in surprise when she saw Alaric's face without his mask. This was neither an old man nor a disfigured face. What she saw sitting next to her was a handsome young man with a slightly pale face and skin as smooth as snow; he even looked a little bit like a woman because of the smooth lines of his face.
His pair of purple-colored eyes looked very mysterious, adding to the unique impression of his purple-platinum-colored hair.
This was not an ordinary human's appearance. This man must be an Alchemist, Marion thought.
Was this the secret that Alaric had kept all this time?
Of course, now everything made sense.
Of course he knew the secrets of the Alchemists ... He himself was part of the immortal clan.
"I usually disappear and change my identity after a few decades, but my last project was too important for me to leave, so I chose to cover my identity behind a mask. All my subordinates at the company thought that I was disfigured, and so did everyone else. On the one side , it made it easier for me to move around because no one knows my real face. " He smiled soothingly and rubbed the fake Aleksis's cheeks that looked pale in surprise, "You ... no matter how badly my face is disfigured, you love me unconditionally. I shouldn't let you go without knowing who I really am. You have no idea how I almost went crazy when I was told that you died without ever knowing the truth."
"Oh, Alaric ..." Marion bit her lip frantically.
This was all a mistake.
Both parties were apparently attacking each for the same reason: their love for Aleksis ...
"One more thing you need to know about me. I don't age, not because of medical errors or unnatural gene mutations as I always thought, but because, apparently, I'm part of the Alchemists - you probably never heard of them. They are a hidden group of people, they are all around us, and they rule the world ... I was finally able to find traces of my family; I finally know who my mother is, my face ... they say it's very similar to my mother's, I no longer hate my face."
Marion looked at Alaric with an open mouth. She was about to speak but no words could come out.
"Wh ... who ... is your mother?" she asked then with difficulty.
"Her name was Luna, she was a princess from England. She died while giving birth to me in Romania, but before she died, she forced the midwife to cut a small bit of her hair for me." Alaric touched the locket that hung around Aleksis' neck. He had pinned it when she slept, then opened it slowly, "This is my mother's hair. See, it's the same color as mine, right?"
Marion looked at the braided hair with a shaken heart. Her hands covered her lips in surprise as her eyes alternately looked at Luna's hair and Alaric's face. No doubt. Alaric was indeed Lauriel's son.
"You ... do you know who your father is?" she asked.
"Hmmm ... yes, but I don't really care about him. His name is Lauriel. He is an adventurer who doesn't care about worldly life. You don't need to think about him. He doesn't want me, so I don't want him either." Alaric looked at Marion's face, which was now in tears. "Hey, why are you crying? Are you afraid of me? I'm may be different from you because I'm not an ordinary human, but I'm still the same Alaric. I'm still your husband ... please don't be afraid of me."
Marion realized that Alaric still didn't know that Aleksis was an Alchemist too. Alaric did not even know that Uncle Rory and Lauriel were the same man, and that he had actually met his father in person.
Oh no...
This was all a big mistake.
