Matthias is shirtless, looking in the mirror. There are still wounds on his chest and abdomen, scratches from Dieter. But Matthias didn't tell Alice, which is why Alice didn't treat the scratch marks. That's are not ordinary human scratches, but rather like the scratches of a wild animal.
Darcy arrived with medicine. He was shocked when he saw Matthias's wound. "Were you attacked by a wild animal?" Darcy asked. Darcy opened the bottle of medicine and applied it to Matthias's wound.
"Maybe." Matthias said, nonchalantly.
"Maybe?"
"That person is like a wild animal," Matthias said.
Darcy could sense that Matthias was hiding something. "It seems you should start being careful from now on."
"What do you mean?" Matthias asked.
"I feel like someone is coming to seek revenge for what happened a decade ago."
Matthias just shrugged indifferently. "Just treat my wound. I don't care who's gonna come, i just want to live a normal life, just like everyone."
Darcy just nodded and treated Matthias's wound.

On the other hand, Selena was at Amalie's dorm, gossiping and playing games. Currently, they are discussing what happened to Dieter and Matthias, specifically about Dieter being in the library.
"Have you ever thought that today's Dieter is a bit strange? It's not strange because he's very quiet and doesn't have any friends. But like..... it's truly strange and mysterious, i don't know how to explain it." Amalie said.
Eva and Selena nodded in agreement, while Riley just listened quietly. Riley was in a different department, so she didn't know about the students in the natural sciences department.
"Yes, only a weirdo would just sitting quietly in the corner of the library while his face was bruised, his jersey was dirty, and blood was on his hands. Made the 2nd floor smell bad. I was sitting not far from him. He's refuses and kicks me out when i tell him he needs to go to the medical room." Selena said. She looks irritated.
Eva nodded. "Yes, not just you, but all the other students, professors, librarian, and the security, he chased them all away. They finally gave up and let him sit in the corner of the library. I heard this from other students because they also offered to help take her to the medical room. They thought Dieter might not be able to walk because his legs hurt, but he yells at them."
Riley just nodded, she just silent the whole time. "Oh.... Students from my department talk about that too."
"Is there anything interesting in your class?" Asked Amalie.
Riley shook her head. "No, I haven't gotten too close to the students in the class yet. But they are all talented, their painting in class are really good and realistic, i feel insecure."
Selena stroked Riley's shoulder. "Hey, you're talented too. I like your drawing and painting. Everyone has their own drawing style, and your drawing style is very unique."
Riley smiled. "Thank you. Oh yeah, can you help me? I want to cut my hair short. My long hair is so unruly, my hair got paint on it several times. Even though I've already tied him up."
"Your hair is very beautiful." Eva said.
"Honestly, I prefer my short hair. I grew it out because I was curious about what it would feel like to have long hair, but it seems I'm not curious anymore. I want to cut my hair." Riley said.
Eva finally helped Riley cut her hair to shoulder length and layered it into a bob. Riley looked much better with short hair, looking fresh and neat.

Selena looked toward the park bench and saw that the pink-haired girl had already arrived at the Academy and was sitting there. She didn't see her boyfriend, so she took this opportunity to introduce herself to her.
Selena walked slowly toward the girl and stopped right beside her. Alice was reading a book and felt Selena's presence. She tilted her head to look at Selena, so she looked confused.
"Hi, I'm Selena. I'm from natural science department. What's your name?" Asked Selena. Selena was very nervous.
Alice smile. She's truly so beautiful, it's unreal. She looks like a living doll. "My name is Alice, from Humanities & Social Science department." Alice said in a soft voice.
"Nice to meet you, Alice." Selena smiles.
Before Alice could answer, Matthias suddenly arrived and grabbed her hand.
"Let's go, i've bought lunch." Matthias said. He took Alice away, but suddenly he looked back and glared at Selena with hatred.
Selena didn't know what she had done wrong to the prince; they had just accidentally bumped into each other, and now the man seemed to have a personal vendetta against her.
Selena tried not to think about it and walked inside in academy.
"Don't talk to her." Matthias said.
"Why? She looks kind." Alice looks confused,
Matthias just shrugs. "I just don't like her."
"You can't dislike people without reason." Alice said.
Matthias looks at Alice with a stern look, he doesn't like it when Alice refuses his demand. "I say don't talk to her."
Alice is just silent, doesn't want to cause any argument with Matthias.
Selena is in her class, she's happy that she finally can get to know Alice, even though Matthias seemed angry. But she was so happy that after school and back at the dorm, she called Helena to tell her. People like Alice can usually only be seen on social media, TV, or in textbooks that discuss history or ethnicity. Who would have thought she would be able to meet them in the real life?

It's midnight. Matthias walked out of the manor area, approached the fish pond, and sprinkled fish food.
Matthias lived separately from his family. He lived in a manor in a remote location with Darcy and a few servants. Sometimes Alice will come.
His parents deliberately kept Mattias separate from them because they were afraid something would happen if he stayed close to them. It was very cruel, but it was true that something could happen if Mattias lost control.
Matthias saw a glowing red eye peeking out in the distance and in the darkness of the night.
"Stop chasing the rabbits in my manor area, i bought them for Alice, not for your dinner." Matthias said.
Yes, he was talking to the person with glowing red eyes. He heard the sound of someone laughing.
"I'll just take a few, your girlfriend won't know." the man said, slowly walking toward Matthias. And his eyes turned into aqua colour, it was Victor. "Besides, you can buy more." Victor said.
"Can't you buy an animal yourself? Oh yeah, i forgot that Dracula is poor." Matthias sneered.
Victor just rolled his eyes. "Whatever, thanks for the dinner." Victor said and he disappeared suddenly.
