Chapter 328 - The genetic disorder (1/2)

A few minutes later, her question was answered by Alaric's appearance in the lobby. His hair looked short and had a somewhat platinum-blonde shade. Aleksis remembered that yesterday when she met Alaric, he still had his long, shoulder-length blonde hair, tied with a red ribbon.

Why did his appearance change today ???

Did he cut and dye his hair today? What for?

Aleksis really didn't understand.

If Aleksis didn't recognize Alaric's body shape and if his face was not covered by a leather mask, she would think he was someone else.

Alaric smiled a little when he saw Aleksis. ”Good afternoon, Princess.”

The receptionist seemed astonished to see her boss smiling and even calling the girl 'Princess'.

Was the guest in their lobby right now a genuine royal princess? She initially thought the girl was merely joking.

”What happened to your hair?” Aleksis asked, confused.

His body, appearance, voice all belonged to Alaric, but his hair became completely different from the last time she saw the man.

Alaric just shrugged.

”Maybe a genetic disorder. I'm still investigating the cause. My hair sometimes changes colors on its own whenever I experience profound emotional changes. You could say my scientists are very happy to make me their guinea pig. There is a lot of interesting information that they can investigate in me.” He grabbed Aleksis' hand and led her across the office and then into his room. ”I didn't expect you to come this fast. Takeshi said you will be coming, but I assumed it would take a bit longer.”

”Oh ...” Aleksis could only say yes.

Her conjecture was correct, Takeshi indeed reported everything to Alaric. However… did he tell Alaric what happened at the cafeteria?

Alaric had a commanding presence which prompted everyone in the office not to try to even tilt their heads up to steal glances at the girl who came to see their boss and then got brought into his room.

They could only guess inwardly, but there was nothing to talk about.

In his room, Alaric took out a pot of tea and two cups and then presented it to Aleksis. ”Tea?”

”Thank you.” Aleksis received one cup with a happy heart. Apparently, her guess was wrong. Alaric went out to meet her in the lobby to greet her, not because he didn't want Aleksis to enter his room.

This thought made her very happy. Alaric actually appreciated her so much and treat her like a real princess. He even casually followed Aleksis' game earlier and greeted her with 'Princess' in front of his staff.

”How is life in the dorm? How is your first day in college too?” Alaric asked, sipping his tea.

”It's normal, my classes weren't interesting,” Aleksis quickly replied. ”I want to know why your hair can change so quickly. If I didn't know your body ... I would have thought you are someone else posing as Alaric Rhionen.”

”Know my body?” He asked in a teasing tone, making Aleksis almost spout the tea she was drinking.

”Ugh ... you know what I mean,” Aleksis said with a blushing face.

Well, at this point, of course, she recognized Alaric's body, because they had been exploring each other's bodies so intimately for a few hours yesterday. And she would always recognize the delicate movements and the gentle nature of the deadly Demon King. He was the perfect Yin and Yang.

”I know,” Alaric nodded. His face behind the mask looked amused. He tapped on his thigh, signaling Aleksis to sit on his lap.

Looking a little shy, the girl obeyed. Of course, she was very happy to sit on Alaric's lap. If possible she would sit there forever and never go home.

”What about genetic disorders? I've never seen a person who can turn his hair white overnight.” Aleksis stroked Alaric's hair, making sure his hair was indeed authentic.

”This is not white, but platinum blonde.” Alaric corrected her words. He objected to calling his hair white. He was not that old yet. ”I told you I don't know what causes it, but I've experienced drastic changes in my hair color several times before. Usually, it's because something big happened in my life. Even now, my team of scientists is still investigating it.
