"Lothur, come with me." 'Viktoria' opened the door and made a hand gesture to her husband, with her typical cold expression that made it look like she was always bored.
Seeing that, Lothur did not suspect anything and made his way into that residence he already knew.
"Dear wife, have you prepared dinner for your husband? Are you finally ready to take a step forward in our relationship?" He said casually, smiling and observing that woman of perfect proportions.
"Tsk!"
"If you're going to keep talking this nonsense, I don't think we should even go through with it." She said in an icy voice.
Then, she said in an ambiguous tone, "Anyway, I called you here today so we can talk while we eat something. I have some business to resolve with you..."
"Business? What business?"
"For starters, I want to know more about your plans at the academy. How is your development in that place? You have already completed one mission, so I imagine you will soon be doing other similar activities, no?" She walked him to the side of the dining area of the residence, where a table with several cuisines was waiting for them.
Gulp!
Upon smelling the excellent fragrance of that food, Lothur could not help but swallow his saliva in anticipation, waiting for the opportunity to taste such things.
Of all the things in this world that were different from those on Earth, cuisine was one of his favorites. Thus, he felt terrific whenever he went to have meals in this world.
And sensing the delicious smell coming from those receptacles on the table he sat around, Lothur felt his hunger suddenly being aroused. "Did you by any chance cook this? From the smell, I can already tell it's amazing!"
Hearing that, 'Viktoria' smiled and gave credit to the person who actually deserved it. "I wouldn't cook it for you. But if you want to know, that was Elise's doing. Satisfied? You guys get along so badly, but look how satisfied you are before you eat her food..."
"Elise, huh?" Lothur laughed as he had already started to serve himself. "Looks like this woman has some quality."
"Some quality, huh?" 'Viktoria' clenched her fists, trying to control herself not to hit Lothur.
"Wow!"
"She truly knows how to cook!"
"Tsk!"
"It's just a pity she has a terrible mouth. Otherwise, she would be the ideal woman to marry!" He said as he tasted the different dishes prepared by Elise.
'To marry?' 'Viktoria's' cheeks turned pink as some images flashed in her memory, making her think about what she should not.
'That jerk!'
'Does he know it's me and not Viktoria? Is that why he's making jokes?' Elise, disguised as Viktoria, wondered that, feeling strange to hear those words from him.
After her previous plans had failed, this blonde woman had thought of another method to try to eliminate Lothur. And after finding out that Viktoria had gone off to solve a problem outside Peters City, Elise had put her new plan into action.
She intended to get Lothur drunk and leave his body in Viktoria's room to make it look like he had drunk too much, come to a place he should not have, and died of natural causes.
It was the perfect plan!
She could eliminate her target effortlessly and still avoid suspicion.
As such, she was striving to follow through on her plans to make Lothur eat her poisoned food and drink the alcohol she had prepared for him.
'It does not matter. I will follow my plans to the end. If he has already realized something, I will end it all the moment he acts!' She made up her mind as she tasted her meal, which had poison in it. Still, since she had already taken some potions and was a 6th Transformation cultivator, such a thing would have no significant effect on her.
Soon, she began to speak with Lothur about the academy as they devoured the meal she had prepared, mainly him, who had already repeated it twice.
After a while, Lothur began to laugh like a fool, sometimes confusing his words as he saw the images in front of him becoming blurred.
As for 'Viktoria,' she was happier than ever, a little altered because of the drink. However, because of the potion she had taken, she was much more aware of everything than her companion.
"Honey... Why are... Are you so cold to me? Hey... Hey, come here, hug me!" Lothur stood up and walked over to her, walking awkwardly.
"Tsk!"
"I already told you not to try such foolishness with me!" She yelled at him, making a motion to slap his face.
However, as she did so, she saw Lothur deftly deflect her blow, stumbling forward and falling on top of her.
"Uh?"
"Ouch!"
"Idiot! You're heavier than you think! How do you let yourself fall on top of me?" Elise yelled at Lothur but suddenly felt the situation change as she had never expected.
"Foolish woman, let me show you what your husband is capable of..." He hugged her slender body before forcing his kiss, finally intending to join his wife.
"No..."
"Mmmmmmm~"
Elise attempted to stop Lothur's advance, but to her surprise, breaking free from his embrace and stopping his rapid movement proved to be incredibly challenging.
'What's going on? Why does he look so strong? Am I that weak at the moment? Or do I wish it without knowing it?' She wondered in confusion, feeling strange.
In a state of half-intoxication, the servant of Viktoria felt the enemy invasion in her mouth. Yet, as his body pressed against hers, she kept thinking of Lothur's younger brother.
"Mmmmmmm~"
'No! No, this can't be happening! I can't allow this to continue!'
'I can't let this worm touch me like that!' She slowly regained her strength as her tongue lost some of its natural ability to respond to Lothur's.
'And what's with those thoughts? Damn it!'
'This filthy person is my enemy! Why do I keep thinking about his body? I've seen other naked men before and never felt that way!' She finally opened her eyes, pushing that man up.
Upon doing so and gaining complete control of the situation, Elise finally pulled a dagger out from under her clothes, slashing toward the neck of the drunk man.
She then made an agile move, pushing Lothur against a wall until she stopped her dagger when it was pressed into the base of his neck.
"Ahhhh! How hateful!" She screamed for the first time, feeling like she should just slit his throat but knowing she could not.
Her perfect plan would only work if only the toxin she used were the cause of Lothur's death. Then, if she left battle marks on his body, there would be suspicion about what happened, and she could get into trouble.
With that in mind, Elise felt frustrated that she could not brutally kill this person who had dared to touch her body.
'That wretched bastard! He took my first kiss! How will I be able to give myself to the young master in the future?' She leaned her face against Lothur's, noticing the blood dripping from his lips where she had bitten him early.
She then could not control herself, tasting the enemy's blood in her mouth and wanting to slit his throat.
'You lucky bastard!'
'If you hadn't escaped from me in that forest, I would have tortured you slowly! But now, now!
'Now you can die peacefully.'
'Damn it!'
She finally took her dagger from his throat, realizing that the focus in Lothur's eyes was already going away, a sign of the effect of the poison she used.
"Tsk!"
"Anyway, you're finished!" She grabbed his body in her lap, carrying him toward Viktoria's bed.
"Tsk!"
"You will finally get out of my way. It's just a shame I'll have to remember you." She murmured in his ear before finally leaving that place in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Lothur saw the darkness in his eyes increasing little by little. At the same time, his other senses seemed not to be working at the moment.
'Ah, I'm so sleepy...'
...
"Lothur! Lothur!"
"What are you doing in my bed?" Viktoria asked as she entered her room the other morning, looking coldly at the man lying naked in that place...
