“So, what do you want, young man...” Frederic picked up the tea cup and looked at Alexander suspiciously
Alexander was standing in front of Frederic with a slight smile
This smile made Frederic raise his guard to the utmost
When Alexander smiles it means there is an impending disaster
“Actually...” Alexander maintained his smile, but lowered his head, hesitating to speak
It's rare for me to see him so calm...Frederic frowned
Alexander took a deep breath. “I have a very important matter.”
"I know, Julia told me that, otherwise I wouldn't have let you into my office." Frederic replied indifferently, Of course he wouldn't let any random person into the academy principal's office, but if Alexander came here himself and declared that there was something important, then most likely there was something really important.
“Well the thing is...” Alexander rubbed his neck lightly, but soon he mustered up his courage. “I have a girl I love and I want to confess my love to her...”
"..." Frederic looked at him in amazement
He expected Alexander to ask him something
That's why Frederic was planning to refuse no matter what Alexander requested
However, he didn't think for a moment that Alexander would say this to him
Alexander continued. "She's a vampire."
“Uh…” Frederic let out a harsh voice in surprise
"That's why I want to confess my love to her in a unique way."
"Oh...and how would you do that?" Frederic's voice was full of doubt
Alexander looked at Frederic with puppy eyes. “Can you give me some of your blood?”
“What?...” Frederic was shocked for the second time in a few minutes
“There is a story I read in a book...” Alexander sat on the sofa and looked at the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling
Alexander started telling the story. “There was a man who wanted to confess his love to a vampire girl, but that girl was from a noble family. He knew that her family would reject him if he proposed to her, and at the same time he heard about a powerful monster that caused the destruction of several villages in the fiefdom ruled by her family. The eldest son of this family, who was trying to stop this monster, was injured...
Frederic listened with interest and curiosity to this story to find out the reason for this strange request
“After this news reached this young warrior, he decided to kill that monster. But it was not easy because it was a level four monster...”
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
Frederic raised his eyebrows when he heard about the level of the monster
There was an abyss-like gap between the fifth and fourth levels
When a person rises to the fourth level, his body will undergo changes that radically raise his strength level
"The problem is that that warrior was weaker than that monster, but he was determined to fight that monster because death would be better than losing his beloved. And after fighting for two days with that monster and destroying vast lands, the brave warrior was able to slay that monster and filled a portion of the monster's blood into a vial and took it to the girl he loved to offer that blood to her, confessing his feelings."
Alexander paused for a moment
“Did the girl accept his confession...” Although Frederic thought it was just a silly childish story, he was curious about the ending of the story.
“...” Alexander suppressed his desire to spoil the matter
He wanted to tell him that the girl had rejected that warrior's confession
Then he starts laughing out loud
But he knew that Frederic would kick him out of the office if he did this
So he had no choice but to end the story in a traditional cliché way. “She accepted his confession and they married and lived happily ever after.”
Frederic rubbed his mustache
It was an expected ending, but something was still unclear. "Then why do you want my blood?"
“I want to give your blood to that girl when I confess to her.” Alexander revealed his goal
“…” Frederic’s hand that was rubbing his mustache froze and he looked at Alexander with a blank expression
Didn't that warrior offer the blood of a monster when confessing his love?
Then why would you want to give your crush my blood instead of a monster's blood?
"So what do you say?" Alexander looked at Frederic with a hopeful expression
“Not even in your dreams...” These were the words that came out of Frederic’s mouth, crushing Alexander’s hopes
Alexander fell to his knees and began to beg. “Please, principal, you are the only one I can ask this request to.”
Frederic's eyes twitched at Alexander's plea. “Why don’t you buy monster blood instead?”
“I don't have enough money for that.”
“What about that fortune you made selling sweets?”
“The government temporarily froze my bank accounts.”
"..." I almost forgot about that
Frederic remembered that he was present during the unveiling of Alexander's dessert recipe
The secret ingredient was a substance that stimulates the secretion of happiness and euphoria hormones, and activates areas of the brain that bring back happy memories
It was like a drug, although it is not addictive
However, government officials could not stand idly by
They temporarily froze the money Alexander earned by selling those sweets as punishment
Frederic was one of the people who agreed to this decision
Frederic looked to the side with some guilt
But he quickly regained his composure and returned his eyes to Alexander
Well, I guess this brat is at this sensitive age... Frederic sighed emotionally
He knows that Alexander is just a young man, so it is natural for him to fall in love with someone else
Frederic couldn't help but think of his granddaughters
He felt softness in his heart as he remembered their charming smile, so he decided to do a good deed by helping this young man on the journey of searching for his love. “I will find you some blood for a level 4 monster, what do you think?”
"..." Alexander remained silent
“…” Frederic didn’t expect Alexander’s reaction to be so dull
Aren't you supposed to be happy about this?
"Can't I have some of your blood?" Alexander smiled nervously
"..." Why do you insist on getting my blood?
Did anyone tell you that my blood tastes like strawberries or something?
“No… it's just that your level is high, so I'm sure this will show her my sincerity.” Alexander waved his hands when he noticed Frederic's expression
Frederic did not immediately agree
This was a strange thing to do
He is the principal of the most important educational institution in the world. So it would be embarrassing if anyone knew that he had given his blood to a little girl
Of course, this hurt his pride greatly
But something strange is happening. “Why didn’t you ask your father for this?”
Alexander looked at the ground, avoiding Frederic's piercing eyes
"Don't expect me to help you while you're hiding something from me."
Alexander sighed resignedly. “The girl’s name is Elizabeth Penhaligon.”
“I don’t know a girl with that name...” Frederic frowned. “Is she noble—”
Frederic stopped talking as he thought for a moment about the name Penhaligon
" are you crazy?." Frederic screamed with wide eyes
“I know there is a rift between our families, but I'm sure this won't be a problem—”
Frederic quickly interrupted. "Won't it be a problem? If your grandfather finds out about this, he'll break your limbs."
"I'm going to marry Elizabeth, not him. So I don't think he has anything to do with it." Alexander tried to defend his decision
Frederic leaned back on the chair and looked at Alexander with an incomprehensible expression, then opened his mouth seconds later. "You can do whatever you want..."
“What about the blood?” Alexander asked cautiously
"Sorry kid, but I don't want to get involved in this. The last thing I want to see is your grandfather showing up on my porch in the middle of the night." Frederic shook his head
"Well...this would definitely be scary." Alexander could not stop himself from commenting, but he returned to his goal again. “And what should I do?”
"I don't know..." Frederic shrugged
“All I want is a few milliliters of blood. I will not tell anyone this and I will take this secret with me to the grave.” Alexander tried to convince him
“No means no...” Frederic expressed his resolve in his decision
