Ara was incensed to see that Mevron was looking in the direction of that rabbitwoman who was standing with that hateful siren queen.
Why were these men so interested in a nobody like her when someone as beautiful and royal as her was already in the hall. Even if she were to ignore other men being interested in that rabbitwoman, how could she as a wife endure her husband suddenly showing interest in another woman?
For all this time, he had never shown any interest in another woman, even though it was considered normal for a winter dragon to have multiple wives. But Mevron married her with the pretense that she would be the only woman he would be interested in.
And this was the fact that angered her the most since it indirectly meant that Mevron considered that rabbitwoman to be better than her in at least one way.
"I am not feeling well. You can dance by yourself if you want," Ara said in a piqued tone as she suddenly turned around to walk away.
Mevron didn't say anything, but he could see that she was pissed off. But only he shot a glance in her direction before walking away as well.
Ara purposefully walked slowly to see if Mevron would call out to her. But all she got was complete silence on his part, let alone even ask why she was leaving.
"Ugh…damn you…" Ara gnashed her teeth as she shot a resentful look at Sera before walking away.
Seraphina felt as if someone was showing strong hostility towards her and turned her head around in the direction she felt the feeling, only to see Ara's back as she walked towards the doors of the hall.
'Oh no…I have to tell Viktor,' Seraphina got worried seeing that Ara was walking out of the hall for some reason, and this meant that there was a good chance she would bump into Viktor. Even if he was under disguise, this could complicate things a lot.
She was about to touch her bracelet when,
"Sera, where did your husband go?" A deep yet noble-sounding voice came from behind.
Seraphina frantically turned around, only to be surprised by Mevron's sudden appearance before her.
Still, she tried to calm herself down as she forced a smile, "He said he forgot to bring something from where we are staying and that he will be back very soon."
Mevron raised one of his brows as he said, "Oh, I see. So, why don't you tell me more about yourself? Your dreams, your aspirations. I am sure people might consider a rabbitwoman to not have any goals but simply be a housewife for the men in your tribe. But I don't believe that. I believe every person, whether man or woman has their own dreams they want to fulfill. Who knows…perhaps I can help you fulfill them."
Yanan, who was standing just a meter away from Sera, frowned, seeing Mevron up close. If only she could, she would have tried to finish him as well, but for now, she will have to settle with taking care of Ara.
Still, she was getting fond of Sera and, for some reason, didn't want her getting involved with Mevron. Just based on the words Mevron said, she could see how Mevron was trying to manipulate her without trying to appear as if he was.
Any woman would feel tempted by his words since it seemed as if he was ready to offer the world for her…as long as she chose him.
However, to her surprise, Sera's next words astonished her, "It may be true that everyone has dreams, and some are still trying to fulfill them. But I don't have any such desires since I am happy and satisfied with what I have, even if they might seem small or little in others' eyes. The only dream I have is to protect what I already have."
Mevron's expression shook for a split second since he had never expected such words from her. Of course, he had met lots of people who weren't that ambitious or showed that they had no ambitions at all. But he knew that deep within them, each of them always wanted something more, even if they didn't realize it.
But the feeling he was getting from this innocent beauty was too pure. It was as if she really had no desire to want anything more than what she had. This was something he had never witnessed before. Even someone like him, who seemingly had everything, always sought for more...especially a certain someone whom he had wanted for the majority of his life.
How could any person be absolutely free from desires? Or was it because her husband, Azu, was able to make her feel so satisfied.
Yanan inwardly smiled, feeling more and more fond of this pure rabbitwoman beside her. She could now see why someone like her would try to help her.
But what she still couldn't understand was how someone like Azu managed to hang out with a woman like her. Those two seemed like polar opposites, especially since she could smell a lot of blood on Azu.
However, she felt jubilant to catch Mevron's stumped expression for a second there. He must have never really known how rejection would feel, especially from someone of a very low status compared to him.
Meanwhile, a minute or two ago, Viktor got a signal on his bracelet, which made him learn that everyone had entered the ballroom and that he was good to go.
Seraphina helped him disguise himself into looking like Mevron to the last detail. Even the vice president, Orgaz, wouldn't be able to spot a difference, looks wise.
Viktor came out of the bathroom and mimicked the pose and expression of Mevron based on what he knew from studying Mevron so far. If he had more time, he could have done better, but since he planned to do everything silently and quickly, it shouldn't really matter.
He walked towards another corridor at the end of which Mevron's bedroom was located. If not for Sera providing him directions, he would have definitely got lost.
There weren't any guards around, but he suddenly felt his bracelet vibrate twice, which made him knit his brows together.
"Tsk, fuck it," Viktor thought as he quickly walked towards Mevron's bedroom and was about to open it when,
"Dear? What are you doing here?" A silky voice of surprise came from behind.
