Alaric And Lauriel

But wasn't Alaric Rhionen dead?

And ... even if he was alive, shouldn't he, as a normal human being, be very old by now?

Questions after questions raged in his mind. Lauriel was really eager for the answers.

"Uncle Rory ... I can't marry Nic ... My husband is still alive," replied Aleksis. "I'm sorry."

"Aleksis ...?" Lauriel approached her, trying to reach Aleksis but Alaric brushed his hand away harshly.

"I am telling you, if you take another step, I will not hesitate." Wearing an ice-cold expression on his face, Alaric pulled out his gun. 

Aleksis was surprised by the fact that Alaric pulled out a gun in front of his own father. She reflexively brushed off her husband's hand and rebuked him, "Alaric, you can't do that to your father!"

Aleksis' words stunned Lauriel.

"Fa ... father?" He frowned trying to make sure he had not misheard. "What did you say just now?"
