Chapter 414 Not A Damsel In Distress

"Why…do…you…care?" The Siren Queen asked in a seething tone as she looked at his eyes with a cutting gaze.

"Because I don't want you getting in my way," Viktor said with a narrowed gaze, making the Siren Queen raise her brows, feeling a bit confused and doubtful of what he said.

But she had no idea that Viktor was telling the truth. The main reason Viktor didn't stop Seraphina from helping the Siren Queen was that Viktor was feeling very suspicious about the whole picture of the Siren Queen getting captured.

Even if top adventurers like Narin were involved, there was no way they could have captured the Siren Queen all by themselves.

Viktor had been to the Lulling River himself. He could see how big of a home-ground advantage the sirens had because of the river itself. No soul can beat them in water unless they come out.

So how could they have captured the Siren Queen herself, especially when she had her own people as an army to help her? Why was she the only one captured and not even one of her people?

The only way the Siren Queen could get captured was if she came onto land, but nobody with a brain would purposefully put themself in a situation of disadvantages only, especially someone like the Siren Queen.

Viktor took a good look at her eyes, and she looked like someone who plans things very carefully and ruthlessly if needed. In his long life of having to deal with all sorts of people, he certainly had come across eyes like these.

Because of this fact, he felt that it was probably a good idea to get the Siren Queen in his hands and find out what she was up to. That way, he can make sure she won't mess up his plan and let her free as Seraphina wanted as well…after everything was over.

"I knew it…You are no ordinary rabbitman. You are here with ulterior motives that are probably against the interests of the big fuckers in this town, especially Mevron," The Siren Queen said with a knowing smirk.

She took a good look at this handsome hunk before her and realized that she had missed out on certain details. Previously, she wasn't in the mood and only shot a single glance at him since he was supposed to be a nobody and a fucktard who was going to die in her hands anyway. What could a weak rabbitman do to her anyway?

But now, she could feel that even if he seemed to be a rabbitman, his eyes seemed to give off a vibe that was anything but weak. It was giving off a strong air of confidence, especially in her presence. She had hardly seen these kinds of eyes in her life. It was as if nothing could really faze this man.

Viktor shrugged even if she knew he was up to something, "Well…we all have our agendas, and I would say it's best we stay out of each other's way. You are no damsel in distress, and I know you don't need our help. But…my wife out there wanted to really help you and free you later."

"Your wife? How surprising…" The Siren Queen said with a knowing smirk again, making Viktor wonder if she caught onto the fact that they were a fake couple.

Should he have tried to act better? But it was not like he could really make Seraphina do intimate couple stuff. She was already too flustered and confused about the impromptu kiss on the first day here.

He couldn't make her feel more uncomfortable, especially due to her innocent nature. fooling around and tell me. It's not like we have a lot of time in our hands. Whatever beef you have with anybody in this town, I don't care. But I have to know so that I can make sure you won't mess things up for me," Viktor said with a fixed gaze.

The Siren Queen coldly chuckled as she lightly scratched a circle around Viktor's throat with her sharp nail, "And what will you do if I say it's none of your business?"

"Then I will have to keep you here till I am done. Don't think of escaping or getting rid of me because trust me when I say…Not one of us will go down without causing a huge ruckus here," Viktor said with an inner glow in his eyes.

If it was anybody else, the Siren Queen would have laughed it off, but she squinted her eyes as she stared at him for a few moments before nodding, "You surely got guts and a point. Well, this goes both ways. I don't want you getting in my way as well. So you have to tell me what you are up to as well."

"I asked you first," Viktor said with a subtle grin.

The Siren Queen rolled her eyes as she sighed and said, "Fine. I will let you win this one."

She continued as her azure eyes turned cold, "I am here to tear out the throat of Ara Anath…the so-called mermaid princess."

Viktor raised his brows in surprise as he looked at her. What could the mermaid princess, who rarely steps out, probably would have done to warrant the wrath of the Siren Queen to the point she got herself captured just to kill her? The other important fact that one can't ignore was that she was the wife of Prince Mevron, the biggest bigshot of this town.

Was the Siren Queen really not afraid of any payback from the Winter Dragons? The mermaid princess surely now had ties to the Winter Dragons through Mevron.

Whatever it was, the mermaid princess surely didn't seem to be a simple character.

Viktor was curious, but right now, he really had no business or interest in knowing more about her motives or reasons.

"Good. It seems we won't have a—"

"Not so fast. It's your turn, remember?" The Siren Queen stopped him suddenly as she clutched the hair on the back of his head.
