The Bored Immortal-Chapter 539: Tell Us What You Saw
Viktor exchanged glances with Umilia and Taya who nodded, making him say, "Sure. We had planned for a two day vacation but who knew things would turn out like this. So I guess we will have to depend on you guys for tonight as well."
"It will be our pleasure and honor to have you three stay the night. Aelita, why don't you show them where they would be spending the night while I go and…try to put everything back together even though some things can never be recovered…" Chief Tamo trailed off with a doleful face, making Viktor realize he was probably thinking about Yavet, his son who died due to his own foolishness.
"We are sorry for your loss," Taya said as she bowed her head slightly along with Umilia and Viktor.
Chief Tamo forced a smile as he nodded stiffly, "Maybe it was his fate…"
Aelita's expression also became complicated as she placed her hand on her father's back and gently said, "Father, you should take some rest. I will handle everything."
Chief Tamo shook his head as he patted her cheek and said, "Don't worry, my child. I am fit as a horse and as the chief, the last thing I should do is resting right now. I will be down there if any one of you needs anything," Saying so Chief Tamo walked away with his walking stick, his back looking as if he was being burdened by something heavy.
Viktor couldn't help but feel impressed by this old man. Even after losing his son, he was still strong enough to carry out his duties and help his people. Not many could do that.
Aelita let out a low sigh as she could only watch her father walk away and then turned to Viktor and his wives, "Please follow me. Our people had already made arrangements for your stay earlier this morning."
"Hmm, this is quite big and comfy. Did they give us one of their best places to stay?" Viktor couldn't help but ask as he entered this woodhouse that only had a one room with a hall and a bathroom. But the room itself was big enough to be a hall on its own.
There were candle lights inside glass containers hanging from the ceiling, making the place look quite exotic, especially with a large balcony that provided quite a scenic view.
"Based on the layout I think they gave us this place because we are your wives," Taya said with a chuckle.
"Of course, my wives should be sleeping with me after all," Viktor said with a wink as Umilia and Taya blushed as the three stood on the balcony.
"Sigh, we never thought your birthday would end up with a mix of good and bad events. I feel bad for Chief Tamo and Aelita. Losing their kin right in front of them like that must have shaken them pretty much," Umilia said with a sympathetic look and suddenly remembered Death Queen making her expression taut.
"Fate is never fair nor does it judge based on good or evil. It just happens…" Viktor said as he looked out through the balcony.
Umilia nodded softly and then asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder, "Did you happen to remember anything about your past after everything that happened?"
Viktor shook his head but then he turned around and looked at both Taya and Umilia, "But I have something to tell you guys. Over the past few months I somehow got visions or fragments of memories from my past. Since they are just fragments I couldn't fully make sense of them but I now have an idea of how I came to be."
Taya's eyes lit up as she grabbed his hand and asked eagerly, "Really? Then why did you never mention anything about it? This is a good thing. You had always wanted to know your past, right? Why don't you tell us what you saw?"
Umilia also nodded as her eyes sparkled with curiosity.
Viktor blew air through his lips before telling them the things he saw in his visions. The more they heard, the more Taya and Umilia had their eyes become engrossed. Taya was blinking as if she was finding it hard to believe what she was hearing.
However, Umilia only felt it natural considering the things she had seen personally. But what surprised her was that Viktor actually managed to not die at birth despite being born from the mixing of vampire and werewolf blood.
The fact that he actually managed to hold on till his adulthood was impressive enough until something special happened to him that not only saved his life but also made him strong as he was supposed to be.
The two couldn't even fathom at what era all these events took place.
And when he finished, Umilia asked, "This is…I don't know what to say. Your birth parents were not only of noble bloodline but coming from the strongest background of that time. It seems like your past was far from simple and who knows what else we might learn from the memories you have yet to remember. I also didn't expect you to be such a sweet, innocent boy. I can't even imagine you like that. Even when you are pretending to be Dorian, I know it is still you," Umilia said with her hand on her lips, trying to contain her amusement.
"Hmph, but that didn't stop him from romancing two beautiful and powerful princesses. You were born a playboy, weren't you?" Taya asked with a harrumph as she pinched his waist.
"Oww, come on. I didn't really do anything and…I still have no idea how close I was to those two girls. I can only find out if I remember more…" Viktor mumbled as his expression became glazed, thinking about Eli and Tara.
Taya pinched her lips together but then she said with a low sigh, "It seems like something big happened for you to lose memories like that. Now that you told us what you remember so far, I am even more interested to know about your past more than anything. Who knows…you could have been a legendary figure in those times."
