"Ehh….where am I…" Viktor incoherently mumbled as he tried to open his eyes which seemed a bit heavy. He felt as if he was waking up from a long slumber, yet what he dreamed felt so real, just like the past two times not too long ago.
"Azu! Thank the Holy Godmother. You finally came back," Seraphina's lips eased into a relieved smile as she saw Viktor open his eyes with a confused look.
"Sera? Wha…What happened? Wait a second…Mevron! He is—" Viktor recalled that they were in the middle of a fight.
"Don't worry. He is not here. We are safe…for now," Seraphina said with her lips firmly pressed together as she helped Viktor sit up.
She was happy that he came back sooner than she expected, and for some reason, she was already starting to feel better. But when she thought about the danger her realm was in, her chest felt even more heavy.
Viktor shook his head as he tried to get his thoughts and memories sorted.
He was surprised to hear Sera's words since the last thing he remembered was fighting Mevron and suddenly getting stabbed by a poisonous blade.
"Where the hell are we…" Viktor mumbled with a puzzled look upon seeing the dark blue room that had an elegant yet dark vibe.
"So you are really immortal, huh?" The face of a enchanting beauty with azure blue eyes suddenly popped up in Viktor's vision as he sat back, "Whoa. You? Don't tell me this is your…"
Yannah harrumphed as she said with a harsh squint, "Yes. This is my place. But don't think that I didn't forget about your fuck up at the ball. What did you even do to make Mevron chase you like that?"
Viktor coughed as he said, "I don't think the details are important."
Yannah leaned closer as she said with a bitter look, "Well, guess what. It is to me, especially after you ruined my chance to kill Ara. You have no idea how much I risked to get myself a chance. I wouldn't even be helping you by bringing you here if it wasn't for her."
Viktor looked at Seraphina, wondering what she did to gain Yannah'd favor. But most of all, he wondered why she didn't escape through her portal instead of staying back? Then he thought that considering her nature, she must have stayed back for his sake while sending away the fruit safely back to her realm. He felt that he owed her for bringing him to a safe place lest that lusty dragon imprisons him for some questionable torture.
He decided to answer Ara's question as he explained what he did to tick off Mevron. The more he said, the more Yannah's eyes were shaking in visible disbelief. The disbelief later turned into joy and glee.
By the time Viktor finished, Yannah had grabbed his hand as she excitedly shook it, "You nailed it! I take it back. I am no longer pissed at you. You did something better than simply killing her. Now, she will be experiencing hell from the very same person she was desperately trying to please. Hahahahaha…" Yannah laughed like a maniac as she stretched her neck backward.
However, she suddenly stopped laughing as she mumbled with a bloodthirsty expression, "I guess I can devour her flesh later. The flesh of a terrified person always tastes better."
Viktor had a blinking expression and remembered that he was sitting before a beautiful and seductive man-eater.
Nobody who didn't know her could imagine such words coming out of such a lovely mouth.
He felt that Ara must have done something bad enough to make this Siren Queen hate her to the bones.
But he didn't care since he felt that Ara had it coming.
Seraphina was surprised that Viktor actually did that 'thing' with Ara. Now she understood why Mevron seemed so angry.
"But I don't understand how I got caught. I am sure until the end, she never suspected me. Otherwise, she would have taken action earlier," Viktor said since this has been bugging him ever since it happened.
Yannah looked at him with a 'Are you serious?' expression.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that? I honestly don't know," Viktor said with a shrug.
Yannah let out a tired sigh as she said, "Ha…I am not surprised after knowing your nonexisting background."
"Ouch."
"But keep this in mind from now on. Never do it inside a woman who is your enemy, especially if you are in disguise. She must have easily sensed that your Odic essence didn't match with that of that arrogant bastard. Sigh, it's a pity I wasn't there to see her reaction…to realize that she just fucked up her own life out of lust, hahahaha…" Yannah couldn't help but feel satisfied, thinking about it, though she knew she couldn't get back what she lost.
'What a weird way to get caught…' Viktor had no idea that even a man's semen could be used like this in the supernatural world.
"Did you see something while you were…sleeping?" Seraphina asked since she felt that it could be something that might help Viktor know more about his origins.
Viktor could still remember what he saw and knew that it was his past from when he was very young. He also couldn't get the face of that girl named 'Eli' out of his head. It was like her image was striking a chord in his heart.
"Yes…but as before, I am left with even more questions," Viktor said with a contemplative expression and relaxed his expression as he looked at Sera, "Let's talk about it after we get out of here. So, what is the plan? Since your realm is out of danger, are we going to wait till the heat comes down or…?"
Seraphina's chest hardened as she said with a lowered gaze with guilt and pain written all over her face, "M-My realm is not out of danger….Mevron took the fruit."
"What?!"
