Mixed Blessing System

After finishing his kiss with Viktoria, Lothur remained there, embracing her while looking over her shoulder at the many faces watching them.

He mischievously smiled as his hands gripped her waist, making those people look at him as if he were a monster dominating their beloved 'princess.'

One of them, Aiken's uncle's son, saw that and took a few steps forward, approaching the person desecrating the body of the goddess in his heart.

"Lothur!" He shouted, drawing the attention of the shocked people in the surrounding area and Viktoria, who had not cared for the onlookers nearby.

"What do you think you are doing? What have you done to make our young miss accept this?" He said in an accusing tone, making it sound like Lothur was blackmailing Viktoria.

And such a thing made sense. After all, how could the most beautiful woman in this city, one of the most talented and incredible ladies of the younger generation, allow herself to be touched and even kiss a good-for-nothing like Lothur?

It was absurd!

Many in the surrounding area began to mutter the matter while the guards still looked at Lothur, very impressed.

Lothur felt Viktoria turning to look at that person and said. "Who are you?"

"Don't you recognize me?" Viktoria's cousin exclaimed angrily, feeling humiliated that this person pretended not to remember him. "Don't play the fool. You know who I am!"

"Really?" Lothur smiled in a way that showed he was teasing that person.

Viktoria then asked this cousin, who always had strangely looked at her. "What do you want, Tobias? Lothur is my husband. Why do you think he would need to use some special tactics on me?"

Lothur laughed as if he was watching a clown and commented. "Tobias, if I did something against Viktoria, what makes you believe you can rescue her? You are much weaker than she is... As for your intelligence, well, we don't need to talk about that, right?"

Laughter erupted from a few people there as Tobias' face turned red. "Are you calling me dumb? You? Really?"

He stepped forward, intending to show his presence to this bold mortal, but before he could say anything else, Lothur put one of his arms around Viktoria's shoulders and walked out of there.

"Well, we'll be going now. My wife and I have things to do." Lothur's striking voice reached Tobias' ears as the people there continued to watch the two of them.

This fellow, red with shame, stood watching them, frozen by his anger and loving disappointment at seeing Viktoria so intimate with that sack of shit.

'How did this happen? How did my Viktoria let herself be fooled by a pretty little face?' He looked down at the ground and clenched his fists. 'Is it just because I'm not as handsome as him?'

'Damn it!'

'Lothur, just wait! Soon my circumstances will change, and I'll sort this out! I'm sure a lady like Viktoria wouldn't hook up with shit like you!' He maniacally looked in the direction of where those two were walking.

But as Tobias directed his anger at their plans, one of the guards there remembered that he had to talk to Lothur and put his shock aside.

"Wait a moment!" He shouted as he ran up to the couple walking into the residence area of this place.

"Young master, a person is waiting for you outside the estate." He said as he came closer to the two individuals who had stopped after the previous shout.

"Someone waiting for me?" Lothur questioned in curiosity.

"Yes, the Second Miss already went to talk to him earlier today, but he insisted on talking to you. So he's still at the entrance to the estate waiting for you."

Viktoria looked at Lothur and asked. "Who could that be?"

"I don't know. Let's see about that..."

The two then made their way to that place where Philip had spent all night waiting for Lothur.

After arriving at that place yesterday, this fellow thought Lothur was having fun at the local night or perhaps settling some business outside the Frost estate. So he had decided to wait for this young man's return.

Hours later, he had thought about leaving, but the thought that Lothur would arrive soon after he left had prevented him from doing so.

With that, he was still around at this time, when the movement in the streets was already getting hectic, not only for the everyday activities of this city but also for the event that would begin later.

Hence, when he finally saw Lothur's distinguished face, this man stood up from where he was standing and felt that his long wait was over.

He was in a bit of a bad mood, but considering that he had come without an appointment and was the one seeking this meeting, he did not have that problem in mind when he greeted Lothur.

"Young Lothur..." He shook one of the hands of the fellow in front of him and looked at Viktoria strangely, feeling that he had seen her before. "And you must be his girlfriend, right? Annaliese."

Annaliese had said she was Lothur's girlfriend the day before, and when she had given her brother-in-law's information to this man, she had introduced herself. Because of this, he naturally confused them when he saw Viktoria, who was very similar to that person.

Viktoria was famous in Peters City, but most people only knew her by name. Since she and Annaliese were quite similar, people like Philip had no way to recognize or differentiate between them despite their distinctions.

So, as Lothur felt a shiver go up his back, Viktoria looked away, narrowing her eyes to observe him.

"Girlfriend, huh?"

Lothur corrected that man, "Sir, don't make trouble for me. The one you saw was my sister-in-law, my wife's twin sister." He used his hands to gesture, showing Viktoria to that individual. "We just used that little lie to ward off that annoying guy trying to woo my sister-in-law..."

"So that was it... Makes sense, now." The old fellow understood the misunderstanding and helped Lothur avoid the problem of a jealous wife. "Indeed. Cedric courted that young lady when she said she was your girlfriend."

"Is that what happened?" Viktoria asked, a little doubtful of the veracity of that. "You are not inappropriately approaching my sister, right?"

Lothur smiled. "Viktoria, how can you suggest such a thing? Don't you trust your husband?"

"Humph!" She turned her back on him since her answer was obvious.

On the other hand, that fellow from the Formation Masters Association finally recognized Lothur's wife. 'Viktoria... That's a unique name. Uh? Frost family...'

His eyes opened wide. 'That fellow is the husband of the young genius of the Frost family? Viktoria Frost? Not for nothing! Someone as excellent as him could only be around others of his level!'

'It all makes sense now. He is not a servant but the young master of the Frost family!'

As he thought about the possibilities in his mind, he heard Lothur stopping trying to convince Viktoria and this beauty questioning him. "Anyway, what do you want here at this time of the morning? Is there something wrong?"

Philip then shook his head in denial and said. "There is nothing wrong, First Miss Frost. I just decided to come and deliver Lothur's identification as a formation master and have another chance to talk with him."

After saying this, he picked up the items he had refused to hand over to Annaliese earlier. Since he had waited for Lothur, he would not allow someone else to hand these over to that woman and risk not having an excuse to approach this person.

"Can we talk somewhere more private?" He asked after handing Lothur the ID and cloak of that institution.
