Viktor took his robes from her hand and said, "If there is one thing you have to be sure of is that I don't marry someone whom I don't like. Don't worry, your Master will be in very good hands."
"That's what worries me," Ayana said with pursed lips, but then she shook her head and said, "Anyway, I am no one to have a say anything about this. If Master thinks you are alright, then it must be true."
"What about you? Do you have any plans of marriage, or are you going to be Master's little girl forever?" Viktor asked in a teasing tone.
"Hey! I am not a little girl. I am 99 years old! Ooops..." Ayana immediately covered her mouth as her face flushed red in embarrassment.
Viktor had a blinking expression, "Wow...so ol...uh...young…" Since Viktor was someone who lived most of his life with ordinary humans, he was not used to seeing others being so old yet looking so young.
He used to consider himself as the only exception or the oddball.
"You...you were about to call me old...right?" Ayana asked with an aggrieved expression and looked as if she was going to cry from embarrassment.
Viktor innocently waved his hands, "Of course not. How could I? Look at you...You look so beautiful and young. If there's anyone here old, it should be me."
Viktor knew that age was something very sensitive to women no matter how old they were, and this time he was only about to accidentally call her old, but she somehow caught on to it.
"R-Really?" Ayana calmed down a bit hearing Viktor calling her beautiful and young. In the Fujo Clan, her age was not really considered old, but she knew that among ordinary people, she was old enough to be anyone's grandma, and she thought Viktor was picking on her by using that fact.
"Would I dare lie?" Viktor said with a charming smile as he looked at the fierce yet drop-dead gorgeous beauty standing in front of her. Her light grey eyes were a bit watery now but still had a subtle, alluring charm that could make a man's eyes melt.
Even if she was wearing a loose-fit robe, Viktor could make out her slender curvy features, her ample-sized bust, and her tempting round buttocks.
He gently caressed the ends of her shoulder-length silky black hair and said as he smelled it, "You smell like wild strawberries...quite refreshing…"
"Hey! That's illegal! You are about to marry...I mean, get engaged with my Master...you c-can't…" Ayana's cheeks blushed a cute pink, and she was wondering why she was stammering like an idiot in his presence.
All she wanted to tell him was that he couldn't fool around with other women now that he was going to marry her Master.
"I can't what?" Viktor asked with an oblivious expression and said as he came closer, "You are her disciple...so if I am marrying her, wouldn't that mean I have to take 'care' of her disciple as well?"
"Take care? Ah...my mind is going nuts...I am leaving!" Ayana felt that she might lose her sanity and that something 'bad' might happen if she stayed around the wolf any longer.
Viktor slightly laughed, looking at her run like a nervous rabbit, and shook his head. But right before he was about to turn around, he suddenly noticed a certain someone sneaking around.
'This guy...he is definitely bad news…' Viktor narrowed his eyes as he saw Laynar casually walking around, though his eyes were like a hawk, scanning around. And when Ayana coincidentally walked past him in a hurried manner, Viktor noticed how Laynar's eyes immediately turned towards her and how a certain glint flashed past his eyes.
Viktor was very familiar with the look of his eyes since he had dealt with so many people with the same look.
He quickly put on the robes Ayana gave him and tied a scarf around his face before sneaking out of his quarters. Before going out, he asked Brad to let him borrow his phone for a while.
He also grabbed a cloak on the way without anybody seeing it and covered himself with it as he followed Laynar from afar.
Since it was nighttime and his werewolf bloodline was taking dominance, he was able to go invisible here and there whenever needed to evade the eyes of the people around him.
However, he wondered if he misunderstood or not since Laynar didn't seem to be following Ayana but was going somewhere else.
Still, Viktor's instincts were telling him to continue to follow, and he did, only to find out that Laynar was going into a secluded spot.
Meanwhile, Ayana, who was still feeling that her face was very warm, wanted to take a bath before she attended her Master's engagement ceremony.
But on the way, she met a fellow practitioner, a girl who sought her help for something and asked Ayana to follow her.
Ayana thought that she still had some time to spare and agreed to help her.
But after following her for a while, Ayana found herself walking towards a place where nobody else was around, "Are you sure this is the place?"
The woman who was walking in front of Ayana smiled, "Of course...it's just a little ahead over there."
Ayana frowned and subtly spread out her senses, only to notice something strange on the ground ahead.
Still, she didn't say anything, and when she was about to step on a certain spot, the woman in front of her turned around as if she was anticipating to see something.
"I knew it!" But she was in for a surprise when she saw Ayana grabbing her hand and pushing her towards a certain spot and a flash of black light
"Ahh!" The woman cried out in shock, but the next moment after the flash of black light disappeared, she was lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Hmph. What a cheap trick," Ayana snorted though she wondered why one of her own people would try to knock her out.
"Tsk, she can't even do one thing right," A frustrated voice of a man sounded from behind, and Ayana turned around, only to be surprised to see Laynar along with five other men.
