Cerise was angry at Gabriel for that Adrien refused to accept the marriage. There were a few times she tried to make Adrien marry her but he let out his inner bad vampire temper of the times she made nasty lies to ruin his life. They did not get along well and Adrien promised himself to never marry a vampire bride.

"He refused my marriage?!" She burst into anger.

"Of course he did. He almost crushed my neck to life!" Gabriel argued.

"He's getting more difficult by the year. I hardly recognize him" Cerise said.

"It was your fault you couldn't resist your lies. You had to get him angry in the first place!" Gabriel protested.

"And I never forgotten it" Adrien standing near the doorway.

"Oh, hi, Adrien" Cerise does her sweet act.

"Don't try to bullshit me again, Cerise. I know you're not here to apologize" Adrien glared, not happy to see her again, "And I know you don't care how I feel when you decided to show your face again like a bride I never wanted to have!" He growled angrily.

"Oh, come on! That was a long time ago!" Cerise complained.

"I don't forget that easily, Cerise" Adrien replied, crossing his arms.

"Son, just try to give her a chance," Gabriel said.

"I gave a her chance all right. Far too many to count when she breaks them so many times!" Adrien yelled at his father to remind him of the times Cerise didn't try to change.

"And I'm here to do my best to change for you" Cerise lied.

"Don't lie to me, Cerise. I know what you are and I'm not letting you do another shit to me again. Last time was unforgivable! I can still bite off your neck so hard you'll look nearly decapitated" Adrien hissed.

"Is that way to treat a lady?!" Cerise hissed back.

"You're no lady to me but a pathological lying bitch is what I see in you!" Adrien hissed louder to make her back down.

"Enough Adrien!" Gabriel raised his hand.

"And I simply had enough of your stupid requests, father!" Adrien hissed back at him before turning into a bat to leave the room.

"He will be mine no matter what," Cerise said.

"He's not gonna change his mind. I suggest you leave before he takes his anger out on me again" Gabriel said.

"Oh, really?" Felix pretends to be Adrien with messy hair just to annoy his uncle.

"Don't fool me the second time again, Felix" Gabriel knows it's just Felix.

The twin Adrien chuckled and slicked his hair straight back, "I love doing that. By the way, why the hell did you let her in? You know my cousin is not interested in you, Cerise. Better yet, you have a lot of fake names from your disguise 'sisters' as I remembered" Felix paced around her and so wanted to bite her neck.

"Yeah, like Lila Rossi," Cerise said.

"She tried to make a man look like he had a long-lost Italian sister but instead, she lured him into a trap" Felix glared.

"It isn't my fault he was so foolish," Cerise said.

"Iris Verdi looking like she came from an inventor who turns out she only stole invention ideas from a human inventor and drained him, taking all the credit!" Felix growled lowly.

"I was too obsessed with inventions to get close" Cerise lied.

"Bella Bruno a fake dancer to seduce men to give her money but turns out she simply tried to cheat her way!" Felix reminded her.

"That's what I do" Cerise replied.

"Clearly proves you are a pathological liar and my cousin hates liars like you. It's time to let go, Cerise. You blew your chances and broke his undead heart" Felix said.

"I will have him!" Cerise said but then felt her throat getting squeezed by a telekinetic energy by Felix.

"No one deserves Adrien's undead heart. If I were you, I would not get on my cousin's bad side. He may be a badass and handsome vampire but he doesn't like to be manipulated again" Felix made his telekinesis grip her neck harder.

"AAAARGH!" Cerise struggled to breathe.

"Felix! Stop!" Gabriel ordered.

"I won't stop until she hears what I just told her!" Felix squeezed her neck.

"AAAGH!" Cerise almost choked.

"ENOUGH!" Gabriel yelled.

Felix lets go of Cerise and glares down at her, "Never come back again. You've done enough to betray my cousin" Felix left the room.

Adrien had to calm down by meditation to not go savage again like he did by almost taking his anger out on his father. He closed his eyes to remain focused. Nino knows that he's concentrating to find inner peace but it doesn't last long whenever his father controls his life for eternity.

"Dude, I know you're angry. She shouldn't have returned. Wasn't she exiled by your mother?" Nino said.

"She was but since Mom died, she thinks the exile is lifted," Adrien said.

"I can't believe your father would try to force you into marrying her. Your kind hated her so much" Nino said while trying to meditate with him so he doesn't feel alone, "The vampire council should know this, bro"

"Of course" Adrien nodded.

He then thought about Marinette. His undead heart made a pulse at the sight of her beauty, smile, and kindness bringing him to full life would just be the perfect life he wanted.

"Next night, Marinette. Next night" He smiled while thinking of her.

"Dude, you're spacing out. I can see that" Nino saw.

"Sorry, just thought about Marinette," Adrien said.

"You are definitely lovesick right now," Nino said, knowing that his master is very stressed out now, "You are very stressed out" He goes behind him to massage his shoulder and he was right that he's very stressed out.

"What are you doing? I'm fine" Adrien tried to smack his hands away but Nino insisted.

"Dude, you need to chillax, a combination of chill and relax. You're not yourself tonight" Nino said, holding him still.

"I'm fine, honestly" Adrien lied.

"You're not fine. I can tell that the anger you build up has stressed you out. The meditation is not helping you" Nino stroked his shoulders to calm him down.

"Okay, I'm not fine. Agh, I'm just not very happy to see that bitch's face here in Paris. She has pissed me off for the last time" Adrien groaned from the tension in his shoulders.

"Well, I hate her just as much as you do. Just don't let your anger get to you" Nino said.

Little did they know, Cerise had overheard about Marinette's name. If this Marinette is Adrien's love weakness, perhaps this girl will make him surrender.

"He's in love with a human," Cerise said.

"And he's in love with your neck he can sink his fangs into," Felix said while being upside down near her.

"Ah, are you stalking me? Very naughty boy" Cerise flirted.

"And you a naughty bitch who has no business in spying on my cousin like a lost puppy" Felix hissed softly.

"Come on, you know how much I miss him," Cerise said.

"Miss him, yeah, but not in a good way. But you're not touching this Marinette, whatever her surname is" Felix warned her.

"So he did choose a bride?" Cerise flirted.

Felix lands on his feet and grips her, making sure his fangs are near her neck but he can't bite due to the law.

"What the hell are you doing?" Cerise struggled.

"Making sure you are intimidated by me and heed my warning" Felix hissed.

"Isn't intimidation enough for you?" Cerise whimpered.

"I can be when I want to!" Felix looks into her eyes glaring.

"Are you sure you're Adrien? He and Felix look exactly alike whenever one of you switch places to pretend to be each other" Cerise glared back.

"I am Felix. There's a difference between him and me, our attitudes" Felix said.

"Both of your attitudes prove that you and he have anger issues with me," Cerise said.

"Because I know what you're capable of," Felix said.

"You have no idea what I'm capable of this time. Not like last time, Felix. The only thing you're capable of is being the opposite of Adrien like a doppelgänger" Cerise said.

"I don't give a shit what you think I'm capable of. You already know what I can do and the last thing I want is for you to stay the hell away from my cousin. His mother exiled you long ago for what you tried to do. Instead of executing you in harsh sunlight, she spared you but exiled you" Felix growled.

Cerise just storms off in a huff. Felix smirked, knowing he won.

Marinette was out once more on the street, thinking about Cat Noir, "Whoever he's behind that mask, he must be really handsome"

He could be anyone with that muscular body. Blond hair is very common.

She was on her way to see Master Fu for her martial arts training since she needed to defend herself more.

"I hope he's there today," Marinette said to herself.

Eventually, she reached the dojo he owned. As much as she loved her mother's Chinese culture, her master surely had more fighting for his old age.

"Ah welcome Marinette" Fu was at the door.

"Greetings master. Sorry, I'm late. Just preparing my latest design this morning for the upcoming fashion contest" Marinette said.

"I understand, but let's get to training," Fu said.

"Let me guess. Luka came again? Last time we fought like cute animals" Marinette said.

"Come on, my melody" Luka in a martial arts outfit was standing near the doorway, "I fought like a deadly cobra"

"Cobras have no hands to punch, Luka" Marinette smirked.

"But they can bite" Luka taunted.

"We'll see" Marinette ran towards him to fight.

She missed with her knee strike but then turned around with a spin kick and managed to hit his thigh with the second kick. She then blocks his attacks with her wrists and then with a sweepkick she misses when Luka backflips. He got up with a spin but got kicked in the stomach.

"Not bad, huh?" Marinette smirked.

"I was going easy on you" Luka recovered.

"Okay, come get some" Marinette got ready.

While doing the whole fight for 10 minutes, Marinette had her legs around Luka's neck in a grip. He did say he was going easy on her because she's a woman and he prefers to not go easy on men his age.

"Give up," Marinette said.

"Yes," Luka sighs in defeat.

"Good boy" Marinette released him.

"You're getting better," Luka said.

"Thanks. And you're getting better at losing" Marinette said.

"Wait and see," Luka said.

"Now come for tea, my students. We have much to discuss about your training" Master Fu said while walking with his cane

"Yes, Master" Marinette and Luka followed.

Adrien was sketching in his sketchbook parchment paper of the girl he couldn't stop thinking about, "She really is beautiful as a princess" Adrien said.

"What you doing?" Felix being nosy as always when it comes to Adrien's compassion.

Of course, they were upside down in the ceiling since Adrien likes to be on ceilings.

"You can't seem to leave my ass alone, do you?" Adrien closed his sketchbook.

"I'm just bored," Felix said.

"And yet you can't find the perfect bride?" Adrien floats his book on the shelf and crosses his arms.

"I don't need a bride. You know women are all the same when they complain about themselves. My nails are broken! Is my makeup okay? Is my hair okay? Sheesh!" Felix gives examples of what he means.

"Marinette isn't like that," Adrien said.

"Keep believing that, cuz. You've seen how vampire girls were all over your ass the last time we had a masquerade ball" Felix reminded him.

"They just wanted me for my looks," Adrien said.

"And you couldn't even try to be aggressive to tell them to get the hell away from you" Felix glared.

"I couldn't upset my parents, Felix. Mom would have wanted me to enjoy the masquerade ball for her but she understands that I'm not interested in a girl until I find the right one. I thought it would be Lila until she was under disguise to almost use me as her prince of darkness. But here we are again" Adrien explained about his love problems.

"With Cerise trying to get you again," Felix said.

"She better not follow me wherever I go. She has no respect for my personal life. She better not harm my human bride" Adrien said.

"She doesn't know where she lives," Felix said.

"Doesn't matter. She can drain my emotional life again" Adrien jumps down from the ceiling, "And I seriously don't want to go savage again"

"I'd hate when it happens," Felix said, coming down from the ceiling to support his cousin's confidence, "That's the problem with you. With Mom gone, you forgot about love"

"I just wish it to be someone who loves from the heart," Adrien said.

"Is that why you met her because something changed you? Vampires take maybe two weeks to build a relationship. Humans take a very long time to build a relationship" Felix said.

"I know. And I look forward to the next time I see her" Adrien said.

"You rather be human?" Felix said.

"Be like a human" Adrien corrected him.

"Same difference but it's impossible. We are undead beings while humans are mortals" Felix said.

"I know" Adrien replied.

"There's a difference between mortal and immortal, Adrien. Mortals get sick, grow old, heal too slowly, and who knows what. Especially dying" Felix said, going downstairs with him to the kitchen to grab a bottle of blood.

"Yeah, that" Adrien sighs.

"But there was something that Nathalie did find when she used to be a treasure hunter," Felix said.

"Which is?" Adrien asked.

"It's a bracelet that turns any monster into a human," Felix said.

"What?!" Adrien exclaimed.

"Would you shut up? Yes, it exists. I know you all think it was some myth" Felix said, shoving a blood bottle in Adrien's mouth to calm him down.

Adrien's eyes widen, after what Felix did, but then drank the bottle.

"I wanted to tell you but you wouldn't believe me. As I see now how desperate you want God to help you, I decided to tell you now" Felix said.

"I would do anything to have it and without Lie-la bothering me," Adrien said.

"That's the problem, cuz. If you become human, your 'human' scent will be everywhere in the mansion. You know your father hates humans in his house, except for his bloody assistant" Felix said.

"I get that. He never lets me treat Nino as my best friend" Adrien said.

"But you make me pretend I'm your slave so he wouldn't punish you, my dude" Nino came into the kitchen.

"Nino, is my princess okay during the daylight hours?" Adrien asked.

"She's fine but you are not gonna believe that she's more than just a princess. She's a badass fighter" Nino said.

"Really?" Adrien asked.

"Yeah, she trains in martial arts," Nino said.

"Definitely her Chinese heritage in her," Adrien said.

"Chinese human? Heh, I was expecting like those from Spain. They are feisty when they're angry" Felix said.

"She's half French and half Chinese," Adrien said.

"And a total badass. You always like badasses, my dude" Nino said.

"Yeah, I do" Adrien nodded.

"Anyways, it's not easy sneaking into the vault that Nathalie kept. Your father would get furious" Felix said.

"There has to be a way," Adrien said.

"You can't but a certain cat can" Felix smirked.

"Ah yes," Adrien agreed.
