Chapter 412 You Are My Fairy
"It seems like we will be attending the president's grand ball after all," Viktor said with a narrowed gaze as he saw the Fruit of Youth disappear back into the platform while Narin was winding up the auction with her best smiles.
Seraphina took a deep breath as she looked at him and said with concern on her face, "This will be very dangerous and risky. Are you sure…you want to still help me with this? I don't want—"
Seraphina wouldn't have been this worried if it was the dark elves. But now that they have to deal with Prince Mevron, who was part of the royal family of the Winter Dragon race, she only got more worried.
It was not that she thought Viktor was weak but because if things don't go according to plan, he might suffer. He was still someone who was like a baby in the supernatural world, and she really had no idea if being immune to death was his source of motivation or if there was something else.

Plus…there is no way I am going to let you deal with this alone…especially among these assholes," Viktor said in a determined tone as he looked at her beautiful black eyes that made her look even more sacred.
Seraphina became a little flustered as she averted her gaze and asked, "Why…Why are you going so far for me?"
Viktor smiled as he leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Because…you are my fairy."
Seraphina blinked her eyes as she became even more flustered, not understanding what he meant by that or in what way.
"Come on. Time to go to the ball. But before that, let's pick up our Siren Queen," Viktor said as he got up, making Seraphina come out of her reverie as she followed him.
Still, her soft gaze was on his broad back as she walked behind him.
Narin was busy handing over the auction items to the buyers one by one. And finally, when Viktor's number was called out, he and Seraphina went through a door, only to be greeted by a dark hall with barely any lights around.
Still, Viktor could see clearly what was in front of him. Beside Narin, a pale blue-skinned voluptuous beauty was sitting on the cold floor. To Viktor's surprise, she wasn't lying in a water tank anymore. Instead, she had slender legs, her skin subtly glowing and unblemished.
It was as if her skin reflected the beauty of water itself. Viktor didn't notice since he had never observed her closely, but now…for a moment, he couldn't help but feel fascinated by her exotic beauty.
She was sitting on the floor in a listless manner, her head drooped. There was a thick steel collar around her neck with an equally thick chain extending towards Narin's hand. Anybody who saw her would think that even if she was a flesh-eating sea monster, she looked so harmless right now.
However, when she subtly raised her head to look at Viktor with her dead cold azure eyes, Viktor's gusts made him think that this was just a predator feigning weakness to attack at the most opportune time.
"It's my pleasure that I am able to meet the great Goblin Slayer up close. Anyway, I won't take up your time, sir. Thank you for doing business with us. To show our appreciation, please take this small token which will let you buy items from us again at a discounted price," Narin said with her prettiest smile as she handed out a small golden token to Azu.

Still, just because a rabbitman landed a finishing blow on a dying goblin wouldn't warrant any attention from her. But she already learned that Mevron and even a certain someone very close to him was interested in this cute-looking couple.
So she had no choice but to act nice just to be safe. She took a subtle glance at Sera to check out her beauty, but she was covered up in a cloak, but that still failed to hide her well-endowed figure.
This made Narin feel like a commoner before her. Not even before the mermaid princess, she felt like this.
Still, seeing Azu up close, Narin had no idea a rabbitman could look so handsome and charming.
However, she had no idea that this 'Azu' character was in disguise and that he would look even more drop-dead handsome in his true form.
Viktor didn't have any interest in Narin anymore after seeing the kind of items she was selling without feeling anything. In fact, he was feeling some distaste and could only imagine how Seraphina must be feeling since she was standing right behind him.
"Wait…where is the water tank? I thought sirens could only walk on land for some time? So won't her legs revert back to her original form after some time?" Viktor asked since he didn't want the Siren Queen suddenly transforming in the middle of his plan.
Narin flashed a smile as she said in a sweet voice, "Oh sir, please don't worry. She is a Siren Queen, and that means she has the ability to keep this form as long as she likes. But of course, she needs to be in her other form to truly use her abilities and also if you want to extract the crystal in her throat. It is a very complicated procedure, so I advise Sir Goblin Slayer to research it."
"Well, is this safe? What if she suddenly attacks me?" Viktor casually asked though he heard a scoff of contempt escaping from the back of the Siren Queen's mouth.
