The Bored Immortal-Novel

"Wait…I don't want you to confront her alone. I will come with you too," Nyissa said with a determined gaze, making Viktor nod softly.

Nyissa softly smiled as she asked, "Then what about Vanessa? Now that you explained things, there is also a good chance she is also somehow involved in all this."

Viktor furrowed his brows as he leaned against the table as he said, "Once not long after college started, Tiana was almost bullied by the president's daughter."

"Oh…but it seems as if you were not the one who helped her out…" Nyissa mused.

Viktor nodded as he said with a slight headshake, "It was her roommate, Vanessa, who helped her out. I never expected a high-profile girl like the daughter's president to be here, plus the fact that she would have no qualms in trying to harm the daughter of the famous Taya Snow. She must be really crazy, and I am actually glad Vanessa taught her a lesson. And this was why I thought that maybe Vanessa might be a good girl despite the suspicions I had about her. That is why I let the two of them just go on like that, especially since Saya said she liked her roommate, Talia. But now I feel that even the fact that they are the roommates of two of the people I care about could not be a coincidence."

He rubbed his forehead as he added, "They probably know something about me, and till I know things, I can't rest easy."

"I understand. Let's do it," Nyissa said as she slowly got up, eager to really find out who those two girls really were.

Viktor, but then he remembered something suddenly as he asked, "By the way, as we discussed earlier, were you able to sense any kind of evil energy or something in this college so far?"

Nyissa knitted her brows as she shook her head, "Nope. Nothing so far. Don't worry. If something like you described really happened, then next time it won't escape my senses."

Viktor had asked Nyissa if she was able to sense any energy that seemed off within this college. He was concerned about this since the first time he was able to sense the presence of Odic Force, he remembered sensing something ominous coming from the college premises.

Even though it was a vague and temporary feeling, he just couldn't shake it off and had even asked Umilia to be sure. But even she didn't detect anything suspicious, making him wonder if it was just his imagination.

"Forget about it. Let's go to my office," Viktor said as the two left.

—

Back in Viktor's office, a knock sounded on the door,

"Come in."

Vanessa came in with her usually inexpressive look.

However, her expression froze the moment she saw Nyissa standing there and looking at them with squinted eyes as she said, "You were right, Viktor. She is surely not ordinary. A vampire…I should have found out earlier…" Saying so, Nyissa slowly walked forward with crossed arms while Viktor also got up with a serious expression.

"What is the meaning of this?" Vanessa asked with a frown and, at the same time, seemed disappointed with herself that she was unable to sense Nyissa standing inside. However, she had no idea that Viktor and Nyissa had already decided to conceal her presence since they might have avoided her if they knew she was inside. Nyissa had comprehended higher levels of the Cursed Arts after her late grandfather passed down his knowledge to her.

Still, it didn't seem as if she was disappointed being found out.

"Where is your friend Talia?" Viktor asked with crossed arms.

"Took you long enough. Anyways, she is not my friend, and how the hell should I know where she goes?" Vanessa answered stiffly.

Viktor stepped forward and said, "I guess I will just deal with her later. Now…are you willing to explain yourselves on the roof or…"

"Let's go," Vanessa coldly said as she turned around and walked away.

Viktor and Nyissa glanced at each other and nodded before they followed her.

On the roof, Viktor and Nyissa were looking at Vanessa with a skeptical gaze, making her let out a frustrated sigh and ask, "Fine. Now that you both know I am not here to study and also know that I am a vampire, then you two surely can guess why I am here."

"You are from the Icemoon Kingdom…aren't you?" Nyissa voiced her suspicions with her arms crossed. However, one could notice that her fingers were tapping against her skin in uneasiness.

"That is correct," Vanessa confirmed as she glanced at these two, making Nyissa take a deep breath as if the thing she was worried about had already happened. Now it was up to her and Viktor to make sure things didn't escalate any further.

"So…you came here because of what I said during the engagement ceremony?" Viktor asked while wondering if he should feel glad that his plan worked or if he just invited trouble unnecessarily. Still, his thirst for answers did not make him feel any regrets.

Vanessa subtly scoffed as she looked at Viktor and said, "What did you expect? You falsely proclaim yourself publicly as a fallen prince of our kingdom and expect us to do nothing? Do you have any idea how many questions we had to answer back in our home because of what you said? Many were already prepared to set out and take your head to present it before everyone and say that you were just a foolish bastard who didn't fear death and loved to brag. But then someone in our kingdom talked it out with our priestess, and he sent me here to find out more about you."

Viktor knew there was a good chance he might tick off this supernatural big shot of a kingdom because of what he said. But he wasn't afraid of death, and he did succeed in making them interested in him.

He was finally looking at a vampire other than himself.

"Then I suppose the other girl named Talia must be from the Hellborn Dynasty.. Am I right?" Nyissa asked doubtfully.
