Victor was currently sitting on a large black sofa, and behind him were the five maids who were waiting for any possible orders from their respective masters.
On his right side, Violet was sitting with a small smile on her face as she held Victor's arm possessively, but unlike before, when she looked like a teenager in love.
Now, she looked like a real wife and looked much more mature than before.
On his left side was Sasha, who was next to Victor, and on Sasha's side was Ruby, who had a cold look on her face.
Victor was somehow feeling a DejaVu with this situation and feels like he has done this in the past; 'Oh, it was the first time I met my master.'
He felt it happened a long time ago, even though it was only 6 months.
Noticing the silence in the room as if everyone was waiting for him to say something, he said:
"Let's introduce ourselves first, as it's the first time I've met my 'in-laws'." Victor displayed a small smile..
"..." Adonis smiled. He liked a little how Victor wasn't affected by their looks:
"It's okay with me." He displayed a small smile.
And for the first time, everyone could really see why in the past he was called a young man of great beauty.
'I had forgotten how handsome he was... Agnes is lucky... If only I could have kidnapped him before.' Natasha thought.
The only ones who weren't affected by Adonis' beauty were Victor, Violet, Ruby, Sasha, Kaguya, Yuki, who was already used to Adonis' beauty, Natalia for the same reason as Yuki, and Luna, who didn't care much for the existence of the most beautiful man.
Also, Maria who only saw Adonis as a walking piece of meat, even salivating a little. She feels that if she eats him, it's going to taste really good… In the literal sense, of course.
Agnes huffed with pride when she saw her husband, as her face said, 'That's my husband!'
Victor saw this attitude out of the corner of his eye and smiled a little inwardly, 'She really does look like Violet.'
"My name is Adonis Snow, and this beautiful woman is my wife, Agnes Snow."
"Nice to meet you. My name is Victor Walker..." Victor introduced himself, but, suddenly, his face showed a strange expression.
"Adonis? You mean that Adonis who was loved by two goddesses?" Despite not knowing much about mythology, Victor knew about the myth of Adonis and remembers seeing it from a movie in the past.
The saying: 'he's handsome like an Adonis'. He didn't know what that saying was at the time, but when he searched the internet, he found it was about a Greek myth of a man who was loved by two goddesses.
Persephone, the queen of the underworld, and Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love…
"Yes."
'So it was real….' Victor had suspected this before, but he didn't think it was possible; 'If Adonis is in front of me, then do these two women exist too? Are they goddesses? Or something different?' He was a little curious now.
"..." Victor looked Adonis up and down, and he understood; he really was handsome... Divinely handsome... But he saw something in Adonis' tired smile.
"You suffered, huh…."
"Well, I was born handsome but without strength." He continued with the same smile.
"A curse, huh?"
"Yes."
"So..." Victor looked at Agnes.
"Was it her?"
"Sometimes, yes, but she is better than the other two."
"I see... But you seem to like it."
"Well, life has its ups and downs, and if you think too much about the past, you will go crazy."
"Wise words coming from you." Victor flashed a small smile.
"Although I look like I am, I'm old, you know?" He laughed
"An old man…."
"Indeed…"
"..." Agnes and Violet were speechless. Why are they talking in codes? Why are they talking like they're old friends!? What is happening!?
"What are you talking about?" William asked.
"..." Natasha was curious too.
"Oh, it's nothing." The two spoke at the same time.
"..." William and Natasha were looking at the two of them strangely.
"Anyway, My name is Annasthashia Fulger. I'm Sasha's mother."
Victor looked at the woman and spoke neutrally. "Yes, I Know."
"Oh? You seem to have a very negative opinion of me."
"Knowing that my wife was tortured just for your fun is not a very pleasant thing, right?" Victor didn't like hitting the bush and got right to the point.
"…" Suddenly, the whole atmosphere of the place became more tense.
"D-Darling." Sasha grabbed Victor's arm and started pulling in an attempt to get him to stop talking.
"Heh~, aren't you very overprotective? How can you judge me when you don't know anything?"
"Hmm, you're right." Victor nodded in agreement with Natasha's words and closed his eyes as he began to think about it.
"Right? I may have a reason for doing this."
"And that's not unusual either, you know, right? Countess Scathach did the same thing to Ruby, so why aren't you pissed at her too?"
"Hmm, Hmm. You're right." Victor continued nodding, agreeing with Natasha's words.
Suddenly, Victor opens his eyes, "But I don't care if you're right or not."
"Eh...?"
Victor's eyes began to glow blood red, "You hurt my wife, look."
He pointed to Sasha, who was shaking as she held Victor's arm.
"..." Natasha and William looked at their daughter in silence.
"You traumatized her…." Victor clenched his teeth angrily, "You traumatized your own daughter. And that's reason enough for me to be annoyed with you."
Unlike Ruby, who Scathach trained/tortured to be strong and independent, Natasha trained her daughter just for her own fun. She didn't even care about Sasha.
The process was the same, but the goal was different.
Victor's anger was so great that it was starting to affect Violet and Ruby, who were feeling his emotions through the connection.
'I need to stay calm, don't let yourself be influenced.' Ruby thought as she squeezed her hands, she needed to be the one with a calm mind, but then she looked at Violet and saw something that surprised her.
'Is she calm...?' Ruby looked at Violet's hands and saw her squeezing her hands tightly. 'Wrong, she's not, but she's holding back.'
She exhibited a small satisfied smile, 'She has matured.'
Adonis saw it too, and he smiled pleased at his daughter's coming of age, but he didn't know how it felt to know that his precious daughter was 'contaminated'. However, he knew that day would eventually come, and he also respected His daughter's decision… He just felt complicated as a father.
"Hmm... So what?" Natasha spoke after thinking a bit.
"..." Victor continued to stare at Natasha.
"She is my daughter, and she belongs to me. I can do what I want with her." Natasha smiled and spoke.
"I had her, I raised her, she belongs to my Clan, as long as I'm the leader of my Clan, she'll do what I want, right?" Natasha looked at her daughter.
"…" Sasha's body visibly trembled as she heard her mother's words.
"…" Suddenly, the whole atmosphere in the house was silent again, and the atmosphere around was heavier.
People who knew Victor quickly looked to him to see what his reaction was, and surprisingly, his face was neutral, and he didn't look angry.
Victor looked at William, "And you? What is your opinion about this?"
"Me? Hmm... I don't care?" William replied after thinking for a while. He really didn't feel anything since he only cared about Natasha and the power Clan Fulger has to offer his family, and Sasha is just a tool for him to have that safe power... Not to mention that he is too submissive to Natasha for him to try to oppose her.
But in the end… he doesn't care so much. After all, living life with a Countess has its benefits.
"I see..." Victor lowered his face a little, and his expression was hidden by his hair. The killing intent coming out of his body was causing visible discomfort in the people next to him.
"Father…" Sasha's body shook even harder, and she looked like she was about to cry at any moment.
'I know they thought that of me, I always knew… But why am I sad? I should be used to it by now….'
Ruby quickly hugs her friend to support her, and this time she didn't hide her anger.
'Master...' Yuki was worried about Victor.
Kaguya, on the other hand, just joined Victor's shadows.
Suddenly Victor's killing intent disappeared, as he lifted his head and smiled with a kind face, his smile was so peaceful, it was so warm, that he didn't even seem to be angry a few seconds ago.
"..." William and Natasha opened their eyes in shock. They didn't expect this reaction.
'Looks like you made your decision, my son-in-law.' Adonis' smile grew a little in approval.
Even women who knew Victor well didn't expect this reaction from him.
'I'm sorry, my beloved wife.' Victor patted Sasha's head.
"!!!?" Listening to Victor's thoughts. Sasha, Violet, and Ruby looked at Victor.
"Don't-" Before Sasha could say anything.
"Darli-" Before Ruby and Violet could stop Victor.
Victor spoke in a gentle voice that sent shivers down Natasha and William's spine:
"Then you two don't need to exist."
"Wh-" The two didn't have time to react.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Victor shot towards the two and grabbed them both by the face with his hands, then, using their bodies, he broke through the mansion wall easily. When he arrived outside the mansion, his body was covered in lightning, and, using the lightning, he flew into the skies and took them both away from the royal capital.
"Darling, NOOO!" Sasha yelled.
RUMBLE, RUMBLE!
Everyone can only hear the lightning sounds in the distance.
