But to his surprise, the chain that wasn’t even that thick seemed like an unbreakable chain, though Talia seemed to be awed about something else, “Wow~You are really invulnerable to fire. I bet all the other vampires will be really jealous of you, honey~ I am so proud~”
Talia said as she looked at him with a besotted expression.
Viktor clicked his tongue as he walked towards her and firmly gripped her shoulders as he looked into her eyes, “You will remove this restraint from me,” Viktor said in a captivating tone that could charm any woman usually, especially with his crimson eyes looking so focused.
However, Talia’s ember eyes glinted as she drew a circle on his chest and said, “Honey~ You can’t charm me like that…especially if you are in your vampire form. I am stronger than those ordinary women you hang out with. Are you impressed?~”
Viktor tried his best, but his eyes didn’t seem to affect Talia in the least, making him realize that in his vampire form, he wouldn’t be able to suppress her.
But if he waited till the night, he had no idea how he might behave with her, especially after what happened last night. He wondered if he imprinted on her as well without him realizing it.
Viktor then realized that dealing with a woman like Talia cannot be done in a conventional way.
But in a way, that will make her feel as if she will get the benefits, though in reality, he will come out as the winner in the end.
So he let out a defeated sigh and said, “It seems I underestimated you, Talia. I am impressed.”
Talia coquettishly fluttered her eyes as if she was flattered to hear compliments from her dearest.
”But if you want me to follow you to your realm, then you will have to get rid of this restraint first. Otherwise, what will people think of you and me? They will think that I don’t want to be with you or something? Now…that isn’t the impression you want to give people, right?” Viktor asked as he cupped her red hot face.
Talia’s expression became pensive as if she was deeply thinking about it and asked in a doubtful tone, “B-But you won’t run away, right? I know you have both vampire and werewolf bloodlines coexisting somehow. But your vampire bloodline hasn’t yet recognized me as your soulmate. Still, I am sure soon enough I can succeed in that too,” Talia said as her eyes glowed with firm determination.
”Only a blind fool would run away from a goddess like you,” Viktor said with a charming smile as he let his finger caress over her soft glistening dark red lips.
”Honey~ Mhmm~” Talia felt as if her heart was melting hearing his words and lovingly sucked his finger into her mouth while the restraint around Viktor’s wrist disappeared into embers.
Viktor smiled, seeing how he could make this woman obey him. Still, seeing her suck his finger like that, he couldn’t help but feel as if she was a cute puppy attached to her master. From this angle, she didn’t give off any dangerous or strange vibe but was harmless.
”Sister Talia, that man is tricking you! Don’t listen to him!” Miri cried out from behind with puffed cheeks, making Viktor pull his brows together as he turned around, thinking that he should teach this little pipsqueak a lesson.
His figure immediately disappeared from the spot as he reappeared right near Miri and caught her with his hand, trapping her within his palm.
Miri cried out as she banged her tiny fists on his palm, “Noooo!! Let me go, you big bad wolf!! Otherwise, I will bite you!” Saying so, she opened her mouth, revealing her pretty tiny teeth, and bit onto his palm as hard as she could.
”Is that it?” Viktor asked with an amusing look as he looked at this poor little thing trying her best to get out of his palm.
Now he felt as if they weren’t really that annoying but quite cute and amusing.
He wasn’t applying any pressure to hurt her but just enough to prevent her from flying away. Surprisingly, her body and wings felt so soft as if he was touching silk and felt ticklish as her ethereal dark green wings brushed against his palm, trying to flap itself.
”Nooo!! Please don’t hurt Big Sis Miri!” Little Pina hovered near Viktor as she clasped her hands together as if begging him.
”Please punish us instead. Don’t punish our Big Sis Miri! Big Sis Talia, help us!” Little Uria also hovered near Viktor as she tugged at his arm with her tiny fingers, begging him to let her go.
Seeing these cute little things crying like this, even a hardcore criminal would feel their hearts getting soft, and even Viktor couldn’t help but feel pity for a moment.
But then he told himself that these mischievous pipsqueaks will change their tune again once he simply lets her go.
”Honey, why are you bullying my friends?” Talia asked with pursed lips as she crossed her arms.
”Well, they bullied me first. But if they apologize, I will let them go. So Miri, isn’t it? Are you going to apologize or not?” Viktor asked with a smile.
”Pha! My butt will apologize. Shoo, shoo!” Miri stuck out her tongue as she tried to pull up her buttocks as if to mock Viktor.
Talia suddenly whispered something to Miri before looking at Viktor with a teasing smile.
Viktor felt as if this woman was up to no good again and asked, “Hey, what did you just tell her?”
”It is a secret between friends, honey~” Talia said with a charming wink before continuing, “But I did convince her to apologize. Isn’t that so, Sister Miri?”
Viktor looked at Miri and was a bit surprised to see her looking at him with an apologetic expression as she said, “I am sorry, my humble master. Will you please let me go? I promise I won’t play any pranks again.”
Viktor looked at her puppy eyes, and since he got the apology he wanted, he let her go, but the moment he did, Miri’s expression changed into a prankish one as she said, “Why don’t you open and look at your palm, Master?”
Viktor felt as if his previous guess was indeed true, and as he warily opened his palm, sparkling green particles that seemed like magical dust blew over his face, making him accidentally inhale it and sneeze aloud.
”Achooo!! Achoo!! Achhoo!!” Viktor kept on sneezing before his body finally got rid of whatever was making him sneeze like this, though his eyes already became a bit watery and reddish.
”Hehehe, someone is having their sneeze day today,” Miri giggled as she danced in the air, flapping her wings.
”Tehehe~Big Sis Miri, you are soo clever!!”
”I knew it! Big Sis Miri never disappoints us.”
Miri raised her chin proudly in the air as she said, “Even if I did it, Sister Talia gave me this beautiful idea.”
Upon hearing Talia’s name, Viktor slowly turned his head to look at Talia, who was trying to stifle her giggles, “I am sorry, honey~ I just couldn’t resist, hehe~”
Viktor took a long deep breath and realized that Talia and her company of winged pipsqueaks were fated to be friends.
Still, he lunged towards her to get revenge as he called out, “Come here, you!”
”Honey, noo~~” Talia giggled as she tried to run away from her angry mate.
”Talia, Miri, Pina, Uria, please stop it. We are supposed to treat our guest with respect and not bully him,” A melodious voice that could put anyone in a daze echoed in the area as everyone froze on the spot.
