"Hmm, let's just say that I am here to steal a treasure from the house of Prince Mevron. I know this entire building is like his home and that he sleeps on the top floor, which is also coincidentally the place where the Grand Ball is going to be held. So what I need you to do is wait till I finish my business. Because the last thing I want is people panicking and running here and there after seeing a dead mermaid," Viktor said as he looked at her eyes to see if she would listen to him or not.
"Ah…and here I thought I was the only one with some guts here. I don't know if I should call it brave or foolish of you to try and steal from the house of a Winter Dragon. According to their ways, if somebody is caught stealing from them, especially those that belonged to the direct lineage, the death penalty won't be merciful," The Siren Queen said as she batted her beautiful eyelashes.
"I should say the same for you. Killing the wife of a Winter Dragon won't be earning you any favors," Viktor said with a smirk.
"Now that you got me curious, you never told me what you plan to steal to make you desperate enough to do something like this," The Siren Queen said as her nails caressed his chest.
Viktor grabbed her hand as he said, "I said I would tell the reason for why I am here, but I never said I was going to tell you what I plan to steal."
"Hmph, you better not mess up or tell anybody else about what I said, not even to your so-called wife. Otherwise, I will tear out your throat before I do that mermaid," The Siren Queen said with a cold glint in her eyes as she swatted away his hand.
Viktor could see that she was dead serious about the whole business of killing the mermaid princess, and he still had no idea how she planned to escape or if she was willing to get herself killed for this.
"Fair enough. Anyways, now that we are going to stay together for a while can you at least tell me your name?" Viktor asked.
"Does it really matter?" The Siren Queen asked with a tired headshake.
"Well, it's a bad habit of mine to learn the names of women who catch my eye," Viktor said with a classy smile.
The Siren Queen shook her head with a look of disbelief and amusement, "How interesting. You really have a spine of steel to flirt with me. But since you asked nicely, you can call me Yanah."
"Hmm, got a nice ring to it. My name is—"
"Azu…Let's get going. I want to use this time to study the place where that wench is going to die," Yanah said with a dangerous smile.
Seraphina was walking about to and fro anxiously when the bathroom door opened, and she saw the two come out.
She had no idea what the two were talking about, but she didn't ask, considering it was private. Her mind was, anyway, filled with thoughts of getting back her fruit and was looking at Viktor with an anxious expression, indirectly asking him if everything was going to be alright.
"We talked about some things, and she told me there is no need to worry about her. She can let herself free after we are done. But till then, I want you to keep an eye on her. You can do that, right?" Viktor asked Seraphina while Yanah rolled her eyes.
"Umm…okay…I can do that," Seraphina said with a hint of confusion on her face. She had no idea how the Siren Queen was planning to escape by herself. But since Viktor said so, she felt there was no need to ask about it.
The three of them soon left for the Grand Ball along with the invited guests. Everyone who had attended the auction was attending the Grand Ball that was being held on the top floor.
Not a single one who sat for the auction would dare to miss such a grand party, nor would they want to. It was only at this place and time could they try and form a relationship, no matter how weak, with the President of the Darkwell Trading Union and make their lives better.
If in the slightest chance Mevron was to take some interest, they would be returning to their homes with a wide grin on their face. Other than Mevron, they could try and form alliances with the first-born demons, especially the ones highly ranked among them.
And this would mean that the men would be bringing the women from their homes for this grand ball. There couldn't be a better occasion for the fathers to show off their daughters' beauty and talents.
Even though there were still a couple of minutes left for the function to start, most of them were already here, chatting and checking out each other.
However, suddenly the bustling in the hall gradually came down when a well-endowed beauty with oversized breasts and wearing an elegant yet sexy glimmering golden dress stepped into the hall along with a handsome and muscular rabbitman beside her.
All of them had their breaths stolen by her pure yet titillating beauty. Could a woman look so innocent yet seductive at the same time?
And as if their eyes were drawn by a magnet, they noticed the pale blue-skinned voluptuous beauty behind the handsome rabbitman, restrained by a chain and being made to follow by the rabbitman like a slave.
They never knew the Siren Queen would look even more alluring up close and, for a moment, even forgot about how she was a dangerous maneater. The presence of these two beauties already made their lower half restless.
But the moment they felt the Siren Queen's cold azure eyes looking at them, their little brothers immediately shriveled up in terror.
