The Bored Immortal

"Mmh!~" Nyissa was startled as her eyes widened, but she slowly relaxed as she stopped resisting but instead reciprocated his kiss as she closed her eyes and forgot about everything else at that moment.

Viktor was pleased to see Nyissa finally let go of unnecessary worries. The reason he even kissed her suddenly was not only just to spite Han but also to ask Nyissa indirectly if she was ready to stick with him through the bumpy road ahead and trust him in leading her forward.

If she didn't want to, she would have pushed him away or resisted his kiss, and he would have no choice but to accept her decision. Fortunately for him, things did not turn that way, and Nyissa seemed to have gladly put her faith in him.

Nyissa had never made a decision for herself for all these centuries of her life. Every decision she took was for others and to benefit others. She had been protecting her lands and the people in it while neglecting her own happiness and desires. In fact, she had neglected them so much she had no idea what her own desires and wishes were.

Only at this moment, for the first time in her life, she realized that she wanted to explore a new way of life with this man beside her. Being with him made her feel alive, and her heart thump.

He made her feel as if there was a cushion behind her to catch her in case she fell and save her no matter what.

These kinds of emotions and feelings were a first for her, and she was becoming fond of them as they offered a different perspective of life.

All the people gathered around in the courtyard were shocked to see Viktor kissing their Young Mistress so domineeringly, that too, in front of everyone, including Sage Han!

They never thought that someone so powerful, cold, and strict like their Young Mistress would bend so easily in the arms of another man. Not even in their dreams could they imagine such a thing.

The patriarch had a blinking expression, not expecting Viktor to be so bold and, more so, his daughter to accept his advances just like that. Was this even his cold and aloof daughter from before?

Karn's eyes twitched, seeing how his son's potential wife was getting taken advantage of by some foreign man.

Sage Han was the one who was the least expressive, though inwardly, his nerves were literally shaking from being insulted like this and seeing the daughter of his Mistress being kissed by another man publicly!

If the High Elders get wind of this, no...if Nyissa's official fiance gets wind of this, he might cancel everything out of anger, and their whole alliance would crumble away before it even had a chance to strengthen.

Purity was something important whenever a woman married someone else in their clan, no matter how high their status was. In fact, the more important their status was, the more eyes there would be on to check things like this.

And right now, the daughter of the most important woman in his clan was kissing a man that was not her official fiance! How will he even show his face before the High Elders? He was sent here to prevent such incidents, and yet he was too careless and didn't expect this man to be audacious enough to do something like this.

Han's lips and eyes were quivering, feeling incensed. When was the last time his orders and instructions were ignored like this?

Before he could even shout at Viktor, Viktor broke the kiss and looked at him with a smile, "So...now that I have kissed and hugged her, what else do you want me to cut off from my body?"

"Viktor…" Nyissa, with a reddened face, tugged at his sleeves, wondering why he was trying to provoke the Sage even more. She also put her veil back on subtly while wondering what came over her before to not feel embarrassed about doing something so bold before others.

"You are courting death, brat!" Sage Han had never felt so infuriated and enraged by being made a fool out of him like this.

Even if he found it beneath him, he decided to take action with his own hands instead of letting this uncouth man do even more damage.

Voroz became worried and was ready to stop Sage Han even though he knew he did not stand a chance against him. Still, he couldn't simply sit still and let his daughter and the man she likes get in harm's way.

"Wait...before you think of forcibly getting me out of here, let me tell you something. Otherwise, you might regret it, and in fact, your superiors in the clan might even hold you responsible for a potential disaster," Viktor said in a serious tone as he stood with his back straight while Nyissa was puzzled about what he meant.

Sage Han immediately froze as he frowned and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

No matter how much Han wanted to put Viktor down, his words made him feel cautious, and as someone who lived for a long time, he knew when to take control of his emotions and think rationally. He knew Viktor wouldn't have simply said those words to buy time as there was no use.

Karn, who was looking forward to seeing Viktor get destroyed, was frustrated, wondering what kind of trick he was going to pull out now.

The fourth chief, Narin Fujo, squinted her eyes as she subtly looked in Viktor's direction, feeling that this man seemed to be more interesting than just being a pretty face or foolishly bold.

Before, she thought that he might be acting recklessly to impress Nyissa but seeing how calm and confident Viktor was, she felt that there was something more to him.

"Did you even bother to ask who I am?" Viktor asked in a lofty tone, making Sage Han realize that he indeed did not even bother to ask for such basic information.

But it was not that he forgot, but a certain someone already informed him that this Viktor guy was a nobody but just a rogue vampire with no clan.

Still, just to be safe, Han asked, "Well then, enlighten me while I am still patient."

Viktor smirked and said with regal bearings, "I am the true second prince of the Icemoon Kingdom and the first son of the Hellborn Dynasty!"
