Viktor pointed to a chair and said, “First, come and sit here.”
Felia blinked her big pretty eyes as she didn’t hesitate and sat down on the chair while wondering what he wanted.
Viktor also took a chair and sat down in front of her and then asked, “Can you give me your hands?”
Felia tilted her head but didn’t ask anything as she raised her hands while staring at him curiously.
Viktor felt as if her hands were as soft as silk and lovely in shape. Just holding them was enough to make one feel a sense of calmness and comfort.
Viktor, however, seemed to be hesitating about something and finally decided to just do it as his eyes turned a mystical blue, his aura completely changing.
Felia noticed the change in his eye color and gasped as her lips parted in awe, “Wow…so beautiful…your eyes…”
Viktor softly smiled, and fortunately, his worries didn’t come true about him losing his mind because of his imprint on Talia.
In fact, he was able to think clearly, and even though he was feeling an urge to just simply check on Talia, he was able to suppress it with his will. If he had the willpower of an ordinary human, he would surely have succumbed to his urges by now.
”Viktor? What are you thinking about?” Felia asked in a puzzled tone, seeing him getting drift away in thought.
”Nothing. But now I am going to help make your hands feel better. This might sting a bit,” Viktor gently warned, making Felia finally realize that he wanted to do something about the bruises on her hands.
”You can do that?” Felia asked in an excited tone, making Viktor softly chuckle and say, “Watch.”
Saying so, Viktor made her palms face towards him as he gently pressed his ice-cold lips against the bruise on her palm, making her grimace slightly upon feeling a slight stinging sensation. But at the same time, for some reason, she felt her cheeks warm up upon feeling his cold lips tickling her palm.
Viktor knew that in his werewolf form, his body’s temperature would be very cold and was using his lips as a means of cold compression on her palm. His lips were the coldest compared to other body parts, and since there wasn’t any ice with him, he found this most suitable though feeling her soft skin on his lips was triggering certain dangerous thoughts.
However, he suppressed them and focused on healing her bruises, and enjoyed her radiant smile as she giggled upon feeling tickled.
”It’s really working…I am feeling really good…” Felia said with a slightly dazed expression as she looked at Viktor with a smile.
Viktor then moved his lips away from her hands, afraid that he might lose control, especially when her pure ethereal beauty was enough to take one’s breath away. If it was the Fairy Queen in her place, he would have no idea how worse these urges would have been.
Felia saw Viktor massaging her hands and asked, “Why did you help me? It was really nothing bad at all,” Felia felt as if her bruises were just an insignificant thing even though it was giving her a slight sore sensation before.
”Because you got this by trying to look after me. And when a pretty fairy like you goes so far for me, how can I sit back and do nothing?”
Felia felt as if the strings of her heart were struck, making her slightly look away as the fair glowing skin of her face reddened slightly, “T-Thank you…I am sorry to trouble you like this…If only I was like others, you wouldn’t have had to do this…”
Viktor noticed how her tone seemed sad, and her expression dulled a bit when she mentioned how she was not like others, which confirmed his guess.
Still, he asked, “Do you know why you are different from the others?”
Felina slowly looked at him and shook her head, “I don’t know why I can’t be like other fairies. I wish I at least had wings so that I could be more useful to them by flying around and doing things for them. But the best thing I can do now is climb trees to get the fruits for my sisters to eat, even though they can easily take them on their own. They just let me do it since they don’t want to take away the only thing I am good at. Allmother said that it is just not my time to bloom yet, though I feel that she doesn’t want to make me sad and that I am just a broken fairy.”
”You are not broken to me. You don’t need wings or powers to be special. Just your presence alone is enough,” Viktor said in a soothing tone as his gaze fixed on her, making Felia timidly look up at him with a delicate red hue on her cheeks.
”H-How do you know?”
”Because that is how I am feeling right now. You, sitting right here before me, is already making me feel good. Besides, if you weren’t good at climbing trees, would we have met each other?” Viktor asked with a slight smile, making Felia’s lips arch into a tender smile as she felt a strange sensation in her chest while looking at him.
”D-D- you want to come outside a-and…look at the stars with me? T-They are really beautiful at this time…” Felia had no idea why she asked, but she just wanted to spend more time with him.
”Of course. Lead the way,” Viktor smiled as he followed her.

It was soon the morning of the next day when both Viktor and Felia were sleeping on the soft, lush green grass after talking for hours while looking at the stars yesterday night.
However, a panic-filled cry of a fairy echoed in the area, “Oh noooo!! The Fruit of the Blessed One is gone!!”
