Chapter 400 - One Step Closer
A few days passed, and it was Viktor's tenth day in the Darkstar Realm and a very important day since today was the day the Darkwell Trade Union was going to hold a grand auction where the Fruit of Youth would be sold to the highest bidder.
All Viktor had to do was find out who the buyer was and steal it back from them. With Seraphina's help, Viktor thought that he would be able to pull it off, though he knew this was risky.
But desperate times called for desperate measures, though right now, Seraphina had a bit of a difficult expression while looking at the mirror and scanning the dress she was wearing. Her hands would unconsciously tug and adjust the dress to cover her skin but all in vain.
The two were in their room when Viktor saw the look on Seraphina's face and asked with a soft chuckle, "What's the problem? You don't like this dress which they seemed to put some effort in?"
Since the vice president of the Darkwell Trade Union invited both the Goblin Slayer and his wife to the Grand Ball to be held after the auction, they also gave the two a set of clothes, requesting them to wear it for the occasion.
The clothes the two received were made out of the finest fabric, and even Viktor was impressed since he had never worn such a fine piece of suit. He was sure that they got the material imported from some big-shot place.
However, even if the material and quality were all top-notch, Seraphina was not too keen on wearing her dress due to how…revealing it was.
Viktor felt as if whoever picked her dress knew exactly who was going to wear this dress since it seemed as if it was made to look Seraphina like a bewitching goddess.
If Viktor had to summarize, her dark golden shiny silk dress seemed like a dress the top models back in his world wear during galas or some top-notch fashion venues. It was clinging tightly to Seraphina's curves, making her round and curvy assets well accentuated, especially her big round buttocks.
But the sight that would trigger every man's little brother was her oversized breasts, barely being covered and restrained by her dress. Just a simple tug, and they might pop out of the dress, which could set off chaos.
The overall silhouette of her dress accentuated her sex appeal, giving her a bold and seductive look while giving off a pure goddess-like aura as well due to her natural beauty.
Even her pale and smooth slender legs were on display with fabric flowing down the middle till her feet.
Still, due to the material and design of the dress, it gave off a noble and elegant look to anyone who wore it, let alone Seraphina, who had such charms inherently.
As the Fairy Queen, even if she was in disguise, her mesmerizing beauty could not be fully hidden.
Even Viktor sighed in awe, unable to take his eyes off her tantalizing figure, especially her oversized sweet breasts that looked so soft and supple.
He thought that those two big melons could bury his face easily.
Seraphina felt even more embarrassed feeling Viktor's gaze on her, but for some reason, she didn't feel like chiding him, especially when she wasn't feeling uncomfortable under his gaze.
Thinking about it, she even shared a bed with him for days, sleeping together and being so close to his soothing aura. And for the past five days, she wasn't simply sleeping close to him but was sleeping under his embrace, much to her embarrassment.
On the day they returned from the Blackmere Forest, she was unable to sleep properly, not only because of her worry about saving her realm but also due to her disappointment in how realms like the Darkstar Realm were filled with people like Brono and his party who would commit evil acts without any hesitation out of greed and desire.
After seeing it up close, she could now understand some of the teachings left behind by the Holy Godmother, which she previously was unable to understand completely.
She knew she had no duty or obligation to save or protect any realm other than her own. But after imagining how many people must be suffering because of people like Brono, her mind couldn't stay calm.
At that time, Viktor suddenly hugged and pulled her closer to his body as he whispered in her ears, "If you keep worrying about others like this, then you won't get the time to look after yourself. And if that happens, then I will have to look after you whether you like it or not. So use me as a hugging pillow and go to sleep before my hands lose control because of a beauty like you sleeping near me. You know how much of a nuisance my werewolf bloodline can be. But if you are asleep, then my hands will be obedient."
Seraphina remembered getting nervous because of his words as her mind got distracted from her worries. Before she knew it, she fell asleep in his embrace, though she knew what he was really trying to do and was thankful for that.
She couldn't help but feel grateful again since, so far, she was getting one step closer to saving her realm with his help. She did not dare imagine where she would be now had she come here alone.
And now, she shook her head inwardly, wondering why those memories, including her first kiss, were popping into her mind now.
"Don't think too much about it. Remember, this is all just a pretense. They don't even know who we really are, nor should they. We will get this over with as quickly as possible and be on our way home," Viktor said gently as he placed his hands on her soft shoulders. Seraphina nodded with a smile as she slowly turned around before her gaze slowly got pulled towards his, both of them gazing at each other's faces as silence descended.
Viktor's eyes got glued to her lotus pink succulent lips as he unconsciously leaned his face closer to hers…
