The Bored Immortal
chapter-110

"I should check up on her…" Umilia said in a low voice as she tried her best to get up.

But Viktor suddenly lifted her and made her lie down on the bed, "I will do it. You should take a rest."

Umilia could feel numbness all over her body and shyly nodded as she covered herself up with the quilt.

Viktor asked with a smile, "No one else is in this house right now, right?"

Umilia nodded, "Yes. All the servants and maids would only come by morning except for some guards that stand guard outside. Tia and Saya should be asleep as well."

Viktor saw the digital clock, which read 11 PM, and felt that should be the case as he left the room.

He went down to see Eva bringing along Taya by putting her arm around her shoulder.

Eva then suddenly saw Viktor approaching and froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.

"What made her drink like this?" Viktor asked as he stood near them and saw that Taya was barely conscious, clearly sensing the smell of alcohol from her.

Eva briefly said with a hint of guilt in her tone, "She has a lot on her plate."

Viktor sighed and said, "I will take her."

Eva stepped back with Taya in her arms in apprehension, afraid whether Viktor might take advantage of Taya in her current state.

"Give her to me, Eva," Viktor had no time to play games and said in a serious voice as his eyes began to glow a mystical blue.

Eva suddenly saw an image of a terrifyingly large pair of mystical blue eyes forming above his head, staring down at her, while her surroundings seemed to dissolve into pure darkness.

The phantom image looked like the eyes of a monstrous beast surrounded by darkness, making her heart tense up and her expression pale. She felt as if a boundless amount of cold pressure descended on her mind, freezing her thoughts, senses and everything to the point she felt her mind was plunging into a cold abyss.

Before she knew it, her hands were already moving as she let Viktor take Taya from her arms.

Seeing Eva's shaken expression, Viktor regretted using his ability. In fact, he never planned on using it, but he just suddenly felt irritated by her behavior in such a situation.

But right after a few moments, she came out of her stunned state and was shocked to see Viktor had already lifted Taya into his arms and was carrying her away.

Eva wanted to immediately follow him and tell him to stop. But she strangely found it hard to speak and move as if her knees got locked.

Her heart was also loudly thudding against her chest, and it was only then she realized that what she experienced just now was absolute terror and her fear made her give in without her realizing it.

She didn't expect Viktor to be this terrifying, and for the first time, she felt very afraid of him.

She slapped and pinched herself to get out of this state, and only after a few moments she felt that she got back full control of her body and ran towards Taya's room to see what Viktor was going to do with Taya.

She used her utmost willpower to suppress her apprehensions since, in her mind, she had formed Viktor's image to be a predatory beast who takes advantage of innocent girls and that she should protect Taya from such men.

If Viktor knew about this, he would have burst into laughter any other time.

Just as Viktor slowly reached Taya's room, he saw Eva catching up in a hurried manner.

Viktor raised his brows, not expecting Eva to quickly come out of her stunned state, and was impressed by her willpower because he knew people who even got scared to death or at least peed themselves or worse even if he only used his ability for a bit more longer than he used it on Eva.

Also, at the same time, Viktor couldn't help thinking why Eva was so attached to Taya to the point she even followed him after what just experienced.

He was sure Eva would have a lingering fear inside her heart, and still, she followed him, which meant her concern for Taya overpowered her fear, and he could only think of very few reasons when people act like this.

He now understood her worries and said in a reassuring tone as he stood before Taya's room, "Go sleep, Eva. I will take care of Taya. She will be safe."

Eva pinched her lips and looked at his eyes that showed a lack of deceit and felt that his words were in good faith.

She suddenly felt as if she might have misjudged Viktor but still felt aggrieved about him scaring her before. In fact, she mentally kept a count of two since he tried to intimidate her the first time they met as well.

So she didn't say anything but kept an upset expression as she walked past Viktor before glancing at Taya, making her expression soften for a second before entering her room.

Thinking about how Viktor and Taya were going to be in a room alone made her feel a prick in her heart, because of which she glanced at Viktor coldly before entering her room.

But still, she could feel her heart thumping loudly, making her think about those frightening pair of mystical blue eyes again.

Viktor inwardly sighed, seeing that he made her upset, and decided to deal with it later and to first lay this drunken beauty on the bed.

He closed the door and walked towards Taya's bed as he laid her down.

He saw how she was still wasted and wrapped the quilt over her body after making sure nothing else was wrong with her.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt his hand being grabbed and turned around to see Taya unconsciously pulling his hand as she incoherently mumbled, "Viktor…don't leave..."

Viktor narrowed his eyes as if some of the suspicions he had in his mind got confirmed and smiled as he got on the bed beside her.

He leaned his back against the bed's headboard and lifted Taya's head, and rested it on his lap.

"Sleep well, Little Taya…" Viktor said in a low voice as he caressed her head while Taya's lips slowly arched into a soft smile as if she was having a good dream.
