"Where have you been?"

Alicia, who had just finished explaining to Draco in the living room, was interrogated again after returning to the bedroom.

Riddle, who was half leaning against the window, did not look very good. He was certainly not happy that his student and subordinate disappeared inexplicably in the manor.

But why is there such a strong smell of blood? There seemed to be some blood on the edge of her skirt, and when she looked up, even the cuffs were a little dirty.

Before she could answer, Riddle's eyes turned cold and he asked again, "Are you hurt?"

There was a subtle concern in the man's tone.

From Alicia's perspective, he frowned slightly.

"I'm on my period." Alicia put the gun back to her waist without changing her expression. "What do you want to talk to me about? I remember today is my day off."

She had miscalculated; Riddle was not as gullible as Potter.

"Your period just ended six days ago." Riddle looked a little unhappy. She was hiding something she didn't want him to know.

Alicia's body froze, and she looked at the man in front of her with a distorted expression.

Merlin's period! Ugh, Merlin is a man, but that's not important. The point is, it's unacceptable that the second generation of the Dark Lord remembered her period. And why are they standing here and discussing this matter seriously?

No matter how you think about it, it's weird!

Perhaps mistaking the shock on the girl's face for a question, Riddle crossed his arms, leaned his head against the window, and explained nonchalantly: "I see..."

"Okay, stop!!!" Alicia covered her forehead as if she had a headache, and her fair cheeks turned a little redder. "Are you sure our mission has not been leaked? Harry Potter wrote to me and told me that there is something very important to discuss, and it concerns my father and godfather."

The girl was thinking in her head while she said seriously, "After I went to the appointment today, he said that someone told him that my father and my godfather had received orders from the Dark Lord to get rid of him in the next school year."

How to explain the smell of blood? Damn Dobby, he really caused her a lot of trouble.

Just blame it on Potter's uncle. If it weren't for that man, she wouldn't have been stained with such a disgusting smell.

"When we were arguing, Potter's uncle broke in - and the result was what you saw." Alicia lowered her head and patted her sleeves, without hesitation putting the blame on Potter's uncle.

Riddle stood up straight in an instant, with a cold look in his eyes that the girl couldn't understand: "Okay, I'll take care of this matter."

Before Alicia could react, he disappeared into the diary.

Dealing with the leak of the mission? How to deal with him like this? Is there really some way for him to communicate with the Dark Lord?

It seems her choice is clear.

Where Alicia couldn't see, a huge snake was hissing in a dark corner.

"Nagini." A hoarse voice sounded from the chair, and the big snake crawled over following the sound. "It seems that we have left a restless little tail in Hogwarts."

In the corridor of Malfoy Manor, Alicia looked at the portrait on the wall with a serious expression and frowned and asked, "Grandfather, does the Dark Lord have a bastard?"

Although Abraxas felt that this question was a bit abrupt, he did not treat it perfunctorily: "I don't think he has a so-called illegitimate child. The Dark Lord will not allow a second person with Slytherin blood to appear in the world. That is a great uncertainty. Moreover, in his opinion, he is the only one in the world who deserves the title of heir. Xia, why do you ask this? Someone claims to be his child?"

"No, Grandfather. This is just my guess, and now it seems that this guess is not accurate." After hearing the answer, Alicia's expression became more serious, "I found a Parseltongue - someone other than Harry Potter. He was hidden in a magic item by the Dark Lord, and he was wearing Slytherin's school uniform."

When they heard the words "Dark Lord", "Slytherin Heir" and "Parseltongue" in the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, the Malfoy ancestors who had been Slytherins for generations came to the nearby portraits at the same time.

"Child, do you know his name?" Abraxas had a guess in his mind, but the answer was too shocking.

"Tom Riddle," Alicia said. "His name is Tom Riddle."
