Mixed Blessing System

After hearing Lothur’s question, Elise clenched her fists and said coldly. “The young miss has invited you to her residence, abusive scumbag.”

“Abusive scumbag?” His eyes sharpened at this new way of her referring to him.

“That’s what you are, isn’t it? You tried to force yourself against me with a bullshit excuse…” She laughed, but only contempt and anger could be seen in her manner.

“Your attempt was a good one, scumbag. But know that a loser like you will never get the chance to touch me!”

“Viktoria and this family may have released you after they couldn’t find anything to incriminate you, but I’m not them.” He took a step forward, causing that woman to frown her eyebrows and step back. “To me, you are guilty until proven otherwise…”

“Tsk!”

“Lothur, are you truly trying to force yourself against a poor servant of your family?” She hated him even more for her inability to act in this situation. “Don’t you feel ashamed that you have to use these methods? Come on, stop using excuses and say at once that you desire me!”

“I desire you? Why would I do that? Someone with a poisonous tongue like yours doesn’t have the least to attract me.” He said as the two of them moved, one back and one forward.

‘Bastard!’

‘You pay me, Lothur!’

‘I’ll make a point of making you suffer!’ She clenched her fists before turning and running, pretending to be just a weak mortal, as everyone thought.

As for Lothur, he did not chase after his wife’s servant since that might get him into trouble.

With that, he just watched for a few moments in the direction she had left before sighing and heading for Viktoria’s residence.

‘Let’s see what this woman wants… If it’s nothing prolonged, I’ll still have time to practice my techniques and try to use my tailoring skills to produce something.’

…

After some time, Lothur entered Viktoria’s residence, and she soon invited him to sit down and have some tea.

Immediately upon hearing his wife’s invitation, Lothur felt that was something wrong going on, as Viktoria seemed much nicer to him today.

He left his usual bold side to watch her in silence. Meanwhile, he tried to understand the situation as he looked at her clothes that were a little more sexy than usual.

‘Did something happen?’ He looked at the woman standing next to him, pouring tea for him with a serene look on her face.

After she finished serving him, Viktoria sat across that table, coming face to face with her husband. “Try it. I think you’ll like it…” She suggested.

Gulp!

‘Something is going on here. Definitely!’ He swallowed his saliva and looked at the cup with red liquid and white smoke.

After tasting that drink under his wife’s gaze, he looked thankful and deeply into her brown eyes. “Viktoria, is everything okay?”

“Sure, I just wanted to invite you for a drink so we can talk a little. Even if we are husband and wife only on paper, nothing stops us from getting along, right? So, let’s talk a little and get to know more about each other.” She replied, smiling at him.

“That…”

“That’s a little odd, honey.” He looked down at her slight cleavage and then back to paying attention to her eyes. “You’ve never been this friendly to me before… I feel like something is going on. This change is too sudden.”

“Yes, you are right, Lothur.” She showed no irritation with the way he was referring to her. “I just realized how badly I was behaving before… Anyway, since we are together, I feel like we can have a much better time if we at least try to be friends. Don’t you think?”

His eyes opened wide after that comment. ‘This woman assumed she was wrong? That’s the first time I’ve seen a woman do that!’

He looked to the sides, trying to see if there was some kind of trap, but the system information confirmed that this was indeed his wife. ‘Maybe she’s drunk? But, no, it could be some other kind of hallucinogenic substance. The cultivation world cannot be underestimated!’

He rose from his seat and said. “Honey, I sense that you are not feeling well. How about we call Anna? Maybe…”

Upon hearing this, Viktoria closed her beautiful eyes but showed no anger. Only in her mind was she beginning to feel irritated by her husband. ‘Do you think I’m sick just because I’m treating you well? Am I that unpleasant in your eyes?’

She then stood up and took one of Lothur’s hands, stopping him from leaving. “You’re right. I am feeling a little strange… But it’s no big deal. I just need you to stay with me for the hour.”

“Can you do that?”

Gulp!

“Yes…” He replied in a tone that sounded more like he was asking himself whether or not he should go through with it.

“Good. Walk with me to my room. I’m feeling a little weak right now…” She grabbed Lothur’s arm and braced herself against him as if she had lost her balance.

Sensing her movement, Lothur did not flinch and used his other hand to support her, firmly gripping Viktoria’s right forearm.

Then, as they slowly walked to her room, this man smelled Viktoria’s perfume as he felt the soft skin of her arm.

‘What’s wrong with her? Why is she letting me touch her when before she wouldn’t even allow me to touch her hands?’ He looked at her every second, calmly leading the way, not understanding this situation.

On the other hand, Viktoria looked fine on the outside. However, her heart was pounding like never before, and her many thoughts gradually made her feel a headache.

‘Damn, do I truly have to do that to control him?’

‘Maybe this behavior of his is temporary, and I don’t actually have to give him hope…’

But the demon on her shoulder soon gave voice to its contrary thoughts. ‘No! I have no way of knowing that for sure, and I frankly can’t stand his current ways!’

‘I want him to get down on his knees to me and go back to behaving like a good husband who obeys his wife!’

‘Ahh! But it’s truly hateful to have to let him touch my body…’ She looked at the hand firmly squeezing her forearm, noting Lothur’s strength. ‘But this fellow does have some admirable strength.’

‘Hmm? His forearm looks strong and defined… He must be training hard.’ She felt the sweat from Lothur’s hands on her skin and looked at his handsome face.

‘What? Why are you looking at me so strangely? Aren’t you supposed to have your eyes full of desire right now?’ She felt particularly challenged as she saw his worried look.

She then decided to ask an intimate question to break the awkward silence of this strange situation. “Lothur, how are you and that girl doing? Do you like her?” 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑛𝘦𝘵

“Uh?” He was surprised by the question. “That… Uh… Well, I suppose so. Why the question?”

“I just want to know how you two are doing…” Her face turned red, and she asked. “How far have you gone? Anna said you were kissing before…”

Lothur laughed and answered vaguely. “We went as far as she wanted to go…”

Finally, Viktoria stopped walking, feeling that such information was somehow not simple. ‘What does that mean? Don’t tell me you’ve crossed the line and…’

‘No! Impossible! She wouldn’t be that dumb!’ She closed her eyes and smiled at her silly thoughts.

‘Are you by any chance jealous, darling? Perhaps you have finally realized that you may lose your man?” Lothur regained some of his usual demeanor as he provocatively asked this.

“Sigh…”

Taking a seat on one end of her bed, Viktoria held one of his arms and looked him in the eye. “Why do you have to be like this? We’re doing so well…”

“Lothur, you knew it? It’s not impossible for us to get along…” She winked at him with her left eye before relaxing her body on that bed.

As she did so, she realized how he looked at her full of beautiful curves body and smiled internally. ‘Realize what you are missing…’

After a few moments, she sighed and said. “Lothur, thank you for helping me. But I feel that I need to rest for a while. So, you can return to your room now.”

“Oh?” He looked her in the eye, no longer seeing as much of the woman of a few seconds ago. He began to distrust this woman’s honesty.

He then listened. “Let’s talk later about your adventures with Miss Becker. I don’t want you to make a mistake with her.”

“Other than that, I look forward to hearing more about your accomplishments at the academy. Can you tell me about it later?” She smiled gently at him just before closing her eyes and pretending to fall asleep.

Lothur looked at her for a few moments, gently having run one of his fingers through the hair on her forehead. ‘Viktoria, you… Are you trying to…’
