"What? Are you serious?" Vanessa could hardly believe her ears. It was as if he told her to utter a word that didn't exist in her dictionary.
"I said…apologize to her," Viktor slowly said as his tone increasingly became cold.
"Viktor…" Nyissa was about to tell him to don't worry about it. But then she sealed her lips as she remembered that her man was someone who was too obstinate about things like this. However, at the same time, she couldn't help but fall in love with him even more for things like this, even if it would mean offending a bigger party.
Vanessa narrowed her eyes as she didn't back away under his gaze and said with an icy stare, "And what makes you think I will apologize to her? It's not like I wasn't telling the truth. You two have caused enough troubles for my kingdom, and the fact that you two are nobodies only make it worse," Vanessa's tone contained a suppressed yet intense amount of anger and frustration.
Viktor stepped closer to her, his eyes looking down at her, "I will say one last time. Apologize to her for being a condescending bitch. Or trust me…our relations going forward won't exactly be…friendly," As Viktor said this, his eyes began to glow crimson as he continued to look at her.
"You…" Vanessa's eyes also began to glow blood-red as she stared back at him and the air around him began to turn bloody and stifling.
Yet the moment she saw his cold crimson eyes staring into hers, she felt as if all the blood in her body was becoming heavy and sluggish to the point she felt chills in her blood. Her breathing became difficult as if her lungs got heavy, and she felt a burning sensation in her head.
If this continued any longer, she felt as if her entire body would be set ablaze.
'Impossible!' This was the only word Vanessa could shout inwardly in shock and surprise as she knew what she was experiencing right now.
Complete and total bloodline suppression! The feeling was just too overbearing! Not even when she stood before her father would she feel such a terrifying sensation coursing through her entire body.
It was not as if she was staring at just a Prime Vampire, but someone or something way more than that…something way more terrifying was lying within those crimson eyes that seemed to induce primal fear in the very essence of her soul.
The entire blood in her body was screaming in pain and agony to cower before this man and fall on her knees to acknowledge his superiority. But it was her icy willpower that was still keeping her standing before him as she refused to succumb to these frightening feelings nor acknowledge that her bloodline was inferior to a rogue nobody vampire!
"*Cough!*" Vanessa lowered her eyes when she suddenly felt blood rush into her mouth but covered her mouth immediately so that she wouldn't accidentally spit out the blood before these two.
Nyissa narrowed her eyes as she noticed the tension in the air dissipating away and could guess what really happened here.
Viktor was about to say something when Nyissa held his hand and said, "Viktor, let it go. Young ones always make mistakes. We can forget about it for now."
Viktor's eyes returned to their normal color as he looked at Vanessa and said, "Fine. Just this one time, then. You should be glad Nyissa didn't stoop to your level."
Vanessa swallowed back the blood in her mouth as she removed her hand from her mouth and looked at Viktor with a wary expression.
"What are you looking at me for?" Viktor asked with knitted brows.
Vanessa took a deep breath, and after some internal hesitation, she looked at Nyissa and said stiffly, "I don't need anyone's pity. But I admit I went too far with my wordings. So I apologize for my unpleasant words. I didn't mean item."
Viktor raised his brows, not expecting this girl to be so mature about it. He thought she was an arrogant brat, yet she quickly changed her tune. Still, he couldn't understand the reason behind it. For some reason, he felt that she didn't apologize just because she felt guilty.
Still, he also decided to not hold a grudge and said, "Fair enough. At least you admitted that you are wrong. Right, Nyissa?"
Nyissa looked at her with squinted eyes as she slowly needed. For some reason, she didn't feel surprised, but instead, she felt that this vampire girl was up to something.
Vanessa took a deep breath as she said to Viktor, "I am sure we have many questions to ask each other. But all that can wait till I am done with my assignment in this realm."
"Assignment? What are you and that werewolf girl up to by roaming around in our world?" Viktor asked skeptically.
Vanessa looked at him and said in an aloof tone, "That is not your business to worry about."
Viktor shrugged, "Fine. No need to be so pissed about it."
"Now that I have satisfied both of your curiosity, I have to go now," Vanessa said as she glanced at the two before walking away with a focused gaze as if she was contemplating a lot of things in her mind.
"Haa…that went well…" Viktor sarcastically said as he shook his head and looked at Nyissa as he asked, "What do you think? Are we in trouble or what?"
Nyissa had a look of disbelief as she stared at him and asked, "Seriously? You are asking that after offending her? Anyway, I know you are not really worried about it. The man who does not fear death…or one who cannot even if he wanted to. Still, what made you confident that she or her kingdom will try to target your people as retaliation?"
"Nah, they won't. From what you told me, their powerful kingdom works on rules and beliefs. Besides, didn't you hear what she said? Somebody important in her kingdom is interested in me. I doubt they would do anything to harm me till I satisfy their interest, anyway.. But until then, we have time to figure out things if we can," Viktor said with a sigh.
