The Bored Immortal

"You could just let your father speak for you using that sound token he gave you. I am sure everyone here respects and reveres him to the point some of them see him as a deity. Who would dare to not listen to their founding father?" Viktor said confidently as he put his leg over the other.

After all, who would dare to not listen to their ancestor's own words?

Voroz raised his brows, wondering why he never thought about this way. Even if his father was dead, his last words should be enough to convince the Fujo Clan about these controversial things.

But he also never expected his aunt, whom he respected and looked up to since the times he was just a kid, to be someone who truly loved the Blood Demon. It just made him question the existence of his own clan and how much of their history was truly right.

They all had a common goal before to destroy the Blood Demon, but now that was gone, he suddenly felt as if their clan had lost something that bound them all together.

However, he felt that he was thinking silly as he remembered his father's words that their true mission was to eradicate evil and not the Blood Demon specifically.

So, it didn't matter if the Blood Demon had died or disappeared or become someone else altogether.

It was just that over the centuries, people of the Fujo Clan thought of the Blood Demon as a powerful demon that caused their ancestors pain and suffering. Thus, he was seen as the biggest enemy, and someone they felt had to eradicate which blurring the true purpose behind the existence of their clan.

"Alright. Thank you for the suggestion. But let's forget about those things for now and talk about something else important...my daughter," Voroz said as his gaze focused on Viktor.

Viktor felt as if the air around him was becoming heavy, though he knew Voroz was testing him.

"Do you really want to marry my daughter? You two don't even know each other for more than a day. Do you know how to take care of her, and are you capable enough to love her in every way? I also don't know you. That's why I have no choice but to ask you," Voroz asked with folded arms as his gaze narrowed.

Viktor could see that Voroz wasn't really happy about giving away his daughter's hand-in-marriage to someone so fast, especially the Blood Demon, who was like their mortal enemy.

It would just be quite ironic, and he could only imagine Voroz's reaction when he first heard the news.

Viktor, however, wasn't daunted by these questions and confidently leaned forward as he said, "You are right. I have only known her for just a day, but for people like us, time is not that valuable to us. It is the experiences that matter, the things that we experienced together, especially how we fought and supported each other. After experiencing all this, I immediately realized that she was the kind of woman I would like to have as a wife. We indeed had some misunderstandings at the beginning, but all those were solved shortly enough."

Voroz squinted his eyes as if he felt that what Viktor was telling did make sense, and in an arranged marriage, it wasn't necessary that the man and woman should be in love with each other.

Usually, it was just two strangers marrying each other through a match-up made by their families, and if they happen to fall in love with each other in the future, then well and good, and if not, there was nothing that could be done about it.

However, Nyissa was his only daughter and someone he loved the most and just couldn't bear to marry her off in an arranged marriage style since he cared about her happiness too, especially considering how she lived her life for all this time.

He felt as a father, he should at least make sure her future was happy and bright. But at the same time, he couldn't also ignore his father's final dying request, and Nyissa didn't exactly seem to protest as well.

But at the same time, he knew that Viktor was strong and powerful enough to marry and look after his daughter. In fact, he couldn't think of anyone else who could possibly suit his daughter.

After interacting with Viktor till now, he felt that Nyissa was right when she told him that the Blood Demon doesn't exist anymore and Viktor was some other person altogether. He also felt that Viktor was an easy-going person and didn't seem like a senior expert at all but someone anybody could talk to and be themselves with.

This was something that was missing in most people in his circle, especially the men when they thought they were powerful and put on airs.

He knew knowing when to be humble and having humility were some good values he wanted Nyissa's husband to have. Otherwise, there could be problems in the future.

And if his aunt, whom he revered and idolized from a very young age, fell in love with the man sitting before him, then she surely must have seen something in him, and this made him feel more at ease.

Seeing how Voroz's expression was a bit complicated and seemed thoughtful, Viktor sighed and said, "Besides, if you want to feel more comfortable with all this, I am okay with postponing the marriage till we get to know each other more to the point that she asks you to proceed with the marriage. I can wait till that day. Till then, I am happy with her being my fiance."

Voroz's eyes lit up, and he felt that Viktor was a better man than he expected and said with a slight smile, "Thank you...My gut tells me that my father probably made the right decision in making you my daughter's fiance. But as you said, let us wait for Nyissa. So far, she never said 'no,' but at the same time, she seemed confused about something. It was the first time I ever saw her being so confused though I understand since things like these play with our heart and mind."

Voroz felt more at ease and thought that Viktor indeed seemed the best candidate so far since he respected Nyissa's wishes as well. He was sure that if it was any other man in Viktor's place, they would do everything to rush the marriage since who wouldn't want to have a gorgeous and powerful beauty as their wife? Of course, most men don't want their wifes to be too powerful but since Nyissa's beauty was enough to enrapture people's souls, they were willing to overlook it.

But seeing how Viktor, despite being so powerful and even have the approval of his father and Nyissa, still chose to do it the right way.

Voroz felt more comfortable with Viktor now, and the two changed the subject and continued to talk about other causal topics.

Meanwhile, outside, a few minutes ago, Ayana was walking away to find her Master when Laynar shouted from behind, "Wait!"
