Chapter 109: Victor meets the in-laws. 3 (1/2)
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?”
