Chapter 490 Master?
"Master…" Nulai unconsciously mumbled at the edge of her throne as her icy blue eyes reflected the fiery image of Viktor.
Her mumble was very soft and subtle, but Vanessa and Talia had their ears perked when they heard it.
Master??...Both of them wondered if they heard it right while Vadric didn't hear any mumble, but he was confused by her reaction.
He saw the face of a man made out of flames and couldn't recognize who it was. Surely, this face didn't belong to any notable figure, so why was his King reacting as if she recognized that face.
Who in the world could possibly garner such a reaction from her other than a certain entity.
Nulai quickly recovered her focus as she realized that she had accidentally lost her bearings for a moment out of shock. But how could she not be shocked after seeing such a face that was eerily familiar to the most important man in her life…the man who made her who she was now…the man without whom she may not have survived 8000 years ago.
She didn't care if these two heard her mumble and asked Talia, "Where is this man right now? Since you came here, then you must know where to look for him."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNulai didn't believe that this man was the same person in her mind. She thought it could be someone who just happened to look similar since such coincidences were possible, even if rare.
And the face she saw might have looked the same, but she felt as if she was looking at a different person at the same time.
However, her heart was a bit restless for the first time in a long time, and she felt like she had to put any doubts in her heart to rest by confirming things personally, even if logically, she shouldn't be doing so.
Talia shook her head with a disheartened look, "All I know is my darling came to this realm with the Fairy Queen, but I don't know where in this realm he has gone to. It has been a long time since he left, and that is why I am here to find him in case he and the Fairy Queen need my help."
Vanessa had a skeptical look since she didn't believe it. But considering the current situation and seeing how genuine Talia seemed with her words, Vanessa wondered if Talia was telling the truth when she first saw her arrive in this realm.
"May I?" Vanessa spoke up, making Talia narrow her eyes, wondering what she had to say about Viktor's disappearance.
Nulai nodded as Vanessa said, "I know where he is right now. He is with the Siren Queen."
"Eh?! I knew it! You evil vamp. What kind of deal did you strike with the Siren Queen to trick my darling??" Talia felt threatened since she had heard how seductive and dangerous the Siren Queen could be. Those who hear her voice can never turn back and would fall into her claws.
She couldn't help but be worried that the Siren Queen would do something bad to Viktor.
Vanessa became pissed hearing her accusations as she said, "Oh, just shut it! I thought you were the one who was planning something with the Siren Queen by involving Viktor. That is why I asked you what you were planning when I saw you here."
The two of them were glaring at each other, feeling angry that the other was hiding information from the other. Vanessa didn't even know Viktor was on some mission with the Fairy Queen, while Talia had no idea Vanessa knew about his current whereabouts.
But then the two realized that they were so suspicious of each other that they failed to see the truth.
However, Talia felt like chewing off Vanessa's head since it suddenly struck her that Vanessa had just blurted out Viktor's location.
Talia could only think of two reasons Nulai was so interested in Viktor. It was either she was interested in him, or she was looking to punish him for entering her realm without permission.
Either way, Talia didn't want Nulai to go anywhere near Viktor but now that things came to this, what could she do?
"The Siren Queen? Are you sure?" Nulai asked with a narrowed gaze.
Vanessa said with a strong nod, "Yes. I am certain of it."
Nulai hummed as she briefly closed her eyes as if in deep contemplation while Talia hissed at Vanessa for ruining her plans.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVanessa smirked since she could see that Nulai was interested in Viktor for some reason she couldn't comprehend. But as long as it would help Talia stay away from Viktor, she couldn't care less about it.
She also wanted to reveal to Talia that her charming 'darling' was busy engaging in immoral activities with the Siren Queen. However, that could wait for some other time, she thought.
Nulai finally opened her eyes as she said with an expressionless look, "You two can go home. I am willing to overlook this offense for the first and last time."
Vanessa was relieved and wondered if her seeing Viktor's face had anything to do with this.
But Talia wasn't happy since she was dying to see Viktor, "I don't want to go home. Let me join Your Majesty, and we can find Viktor together," Talia knew the Winter Dragon King must be planning to find Viktor after they left. But if she gets to join her, then she could keep an eye on things while reuniting with Viktor.
Nulai frowned subtly as she said, "I will only say this one more time. You are free to go home but if you refuse then I will take it that you don't want to leave this mountain till you freeze to death."
Talia felt chills in her blood hearing her words and bit her lip in frustration and helplessness. She could already feel her body shivering from the cold in this place. It was only because of the Winter Dragon King regulating the temperature in this hall that prevented her from freezing over already.
"You do not have anything to worry about. I do not plan to harm him. He will join you soon after I investigate some things," Nulai added as if doing a favor for Talia.
"Vadric, you will see these two out," Nulai said without even letting Talia say anything while Vanessa chuckled as she respectfully bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being understanding. I shall return to my home now."
Vadric gestured with his hand for the two to leave, making Talia click her tongue in indignation as she turned around to leave with a defeated look.
