Novel Full Chapter 123 Back To The Academy
At the end of Sunday, after arriving home next to Annaliese, Lothur ate something in one of that estate’s dining halls and went to his small room. But on this occasion, he did not cultivate nor train since he had done many things in the last three days and needed to rest for the beginning of the week.
So, apart from preparing some items to train his tailoring skills the next day, he just lay down on his bed and slept until dawn.
The next morning he followed his usual routine, quickly making his way to Annaliese’s carriage in the area outside the home of the Frost patriarch.
“Good morning, Ann…” He was entering that carriage when he suddenly saw an extra person there.
“Viktoria, dear, what are you doing here?” He asked as he looked at one of the twin sisters sitting side by side.
“Lothur, my sister is going to the academy with us today. Aren’t you happy?” Annaliese promptly explained to him, smiling at being able to go to the academy with her.
Annaliese lived in Viktoria’s shadows within the Frost family, but this woman loved her older sister and respected her very much.
In fact, she was very proud of Viktoria and liked when her sister went to the academy with her.
“Hmmm.” Lothur nodded to Annaliese and looked at Viktoria once again. “Perhaps you would like to spend more time with your husband, dear? That’s nice of you…”
“I’m sure everyone will be envious of me when they see me walking hand in hand with you through the academy gates.”
Annaliese swallowed her saliva, turning slightly red at Lothur’s behavior. ‘Holding hands?’
Viktoria looked at him coldly, clenching one of her fists while having her other hand hiding it. “You must be dreaming things if you think I will let you touch my hands.”
“Oh? I thought we had to look like a couple? Was I wrong?” He looked at Annaliese, smiling. “Perhaps you would prefer that I do this with Anna? If you suppress your cultivation, I’m sure people will think…”
“Lothur, we don’t need intimacy in public to demonstrate our relationship. Only indiscreet people act like that. So, as long as you walk side by side with me, no one will think anything strange.” She said after breathing for a few moments, controlling her urge to hit him.
‘Elise is right. This scumbag needs to be taught a lesson!’
‘I’ll make some preparations today, and then I’ll start putting him in his place!’
‘Humph!’
‘I doubt I can’t control him!’
“Is that so? Well, it makes no difference then. But I hope you won’t mind my absence at times. I have some appointments today…” He remembered his agreement with Anneke, who had invited him to her room.
“Do whatever you want,” Viktoria said as she looked down the street.
But Anna did not let Lothur’s comment go ignored. “Are you talking about that little sl… Cough! Cough! That girl, Elke?”
“Also…” He smiled.
“Lothur, why do you keep up this? I think your situation is complicated enough, don’t you?” She shook her head in a complicated way to ignore, indicating something that only she and he could understand.
“I truly don’t think you need it…”
“Oh?” He understood Annaliese’s subliminal message as he looked at Viktoria in curiosity.
On the other hand, Viktoria was slightly surprised by Annaliese’s good intentions in keeping this man out of trouble. “Leave him, Anna. Then, when things go wrong with her, we’ll be here to enjoy the show.”
“No, sister, I’d rather not see that happen…” Annaliese looked away and continued. “That would be bad for the family…”
“Oh?” ｂ𝚍ｎｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏｍ
While they were talking about this matter, the carriage arrived at the Morning Star Academy, where, without delay, they proceeded side by side through the entrance of that place.
“Look at that. That’s the First Miss Frost!”
“WOW!”
“She’s so beautiful!”
“My God, how could a bastard like Lothur have gotten the fortune to marry her?”
Groups of young people in the surrounding area began to comment in whispered tones as the trio continued on their way towards the academy’s interior.
But while some noticed how impressive Viktoria was, others soon noticed the changes in Annaliese.
“Hey, isn’t that Annaliese? What happened to her? She looks different.”
“True! Her appearance seems to have changed overnight. I wonder if the Frost family found something valuable and decided to give it to her?”
“Impossible!”
“A decadent family like that couldn’t distribute such valuable resources to someone with her talent! It would have been better to have given it to Viktoria!”
“Tsk!”
“That bitch got lucky!” A blonde woman looked in Annaliese’s direction and understood what was behind the change in Lothur’s sister-in-law’s appearance.
‘Damn!’
‘If I had known something like this would happen, I wouldn’t have given up that Soul Bone!’
On the other hand, while dozens of people were paying attention to the two sisters, a woman with blonde hair and green eyes approached them with a smile.
She had a remarkable appearance that seemed to make a golden aura appear in her surroundings, while anyone would think that she was descended from some divine bloodline or something like that.
With her graceful steps, full of elegance but also with some sensuality, Lothur could not help but watch her closely, surprised that he still found people capable of shocking him. ‘Who’s that?’
“Viktoria, I’m glad you came, or this day would be tedious…” The sweet voice of this blonde broke Lothur’s thoughts as his group finally stopped face to face with this woman.
“Good to see you, Karen.” Annaliese greeted this blonde, her sister’s best friend.
“Hmm, you look better than ever, Anna.”
Viktoria then introduced Lothur to her friend. “Lothur, this is Karen Hum, a good friend of mine.”
“Karen, this is my husband, Lothur Ritter.”
“Oh? So you are the infamous Lothur, huh?”
“I’ve heard a lot of things about you…” She smiled at him before giving him a friendly hug and kissing his right cheek.
She then said in a low voice in one of his ears. “I hope you’re treating her well, or, hehe…”
Feeling her grip on his shoulder, Lothur did not back down and tried to make her waist closer to his. “If you want to get involved in our relationship, I hope you are prepared for everything…”
“Bold…”
“I like it!”
After they parted, the two looked at each other meaningfully but said nothing more, and quickly those women returned to their conversation.
Lothur, on the other hand, soon bid farewell to the three, heading for Sector-1. As for Annaliese, she accompanied her sister for a few more minutes until only Viktoria and Karen continued on their way towards the last sector of this institution.
“Viktoria, I must say that your husband is much more handsome than rumors give him credit for! I would probably steal him from you if it weren’t for his poor talent!” Karen smiled as she said that.
“Tsk!”
“Stop these jokes. I have something serious to talk to you about.” Viktoria was not bothered by the previous comment.
“Oh? It’s about him, right?”
“Hmm, indeed.” Viktoria looked thoughtfully at her friend and pulled her to a quieter place near a garden of Sector-6.
After they sat down on a bench made of stone near a fountain, Viktoria began to tell her problems with Lothur. “That fellow has been getting bolder and bolder.”
“He talked a lot of nonsense before, but he was completely harmless and was under my control. But recently, he’s been doing pretty much whatever he wants!”
“He doesn’t answer my questions, makes me keep waiting for him, ahh… Just thinking about it makes me feel angry at that scumbag!”
“Oh?” Karen looked at her friend curiously, not expecting the always calm Viktoria to show nervousness when talking about her good-for-nothing husband.
“He’s even seeing another woman, even though he’s married to me!”
“What? And you allowed this?” She stood up in shock. “I know your marriage is a fantasy because of your debt to that person and your family’s current situation. But this could still affect your image!”
“I know…” Viktoria said as she looked at the ground. “I wanted to avoid such a thing, but that scumbag managed to beat me in our argument…”
“He has been very independent recently. I feel like every time I talk to him; I come out losing… It’s like he has nothing to lose, and any result is fine for him, while for me…”
“Tsk!”
“Anyway, I don’t want to keep remembering all these defeats I’ve had for him.”
“I want you to help me deal with this uncontrollable fellow. Do you know how?”
“If possible, I want to make him crawl under my feet!” Viktoria clenched her fists to the point where discernible sounds came from her hands.
‘It seems that even someone so talented and calm about her feelings can be provoked by the opposite sex.’
‘Amazing!’
“Well, there are ways to deal with someone like that, but it’s not easy. You can even lose control of the situation and end up falling…”
