Chapter 95: THE PERFECT MAN

VIVIAN

Vivian slowly opened her eyes. She stared at the ceiling. Reminiscing on the fight last night.

Caelan and Mimi who turned out to be her first Beast husband Lucien who has been out of reach.

Her eyes widened. She immediately sat up.

The room was still a mess. Half of her house had been destroyed from the battle, and several pieces of furniture were scattered everywhere.

Vivian sighed. "What a disaster."

A delicious smell suddenly drifted into her nose.

Her stomach growled.nVivian blinked.

Food?

She quickly climbed out of bed.

When she walked into the main room, it wasn’t really a room since she demarcated it for some privacy. She froze.

Lucien was limping. Yet he was carrying plates of food toward the table.

He carefully placed one plate down.

Then another. Beeny was sitting nearby in her Orc form, staring at the food impatiently.

Vivian stared at Lucien’s injured leg.

He was still injured. Yet he had made food for her.

She felt something warm spread through her chest.

What kind of perfect man is this?

She glanced toward Beeny. Then back at Lucien.

Caelan can’t compare to him.

Not even close. Lucien noticed her standing there.

He smiled. "You’re awake."

Vivian quickly looked away. "Yes."

She walked toward the table and sat down.

Lucien placed her meal in front of her.

"Eat."

Vivian smiled. "Thank you."

She picked up her spoon but stopped.

Her eyes moved toward his injured leg.

"Are you okay?"

Lucien nodded. "As long as you’re fine, I’m fine."

Vivian’s eye twitched. "Those words again."

She rolled her eyes. "You’re always saying that."

Lucien chuckled. "I’m only telling the truth."

Vivian looked at him suspiciously.

Then she remembered something.

"By the way..."

She leaned forward.

"What happened to you? And are you the one cleaning my house all this while?"

Lucien nodded. "It was me. I. ..I..just wanted to help."

Vivian said. "You should have told me. I thought my house was haunted."

Lucien replied with his head down.."I wanted to tell.you but I can’t keep my human form for long." Lucien’s smile faded slightly.

She asked. "Why were you in that dog form for so long?"

Beeny’s ears immediately perked up..Even she wanted to hear the answer.

Lucien sighed. "My pollution rate became too high."

Vivian’s expression became serious.

He said. "I was also injured by my work partner."

Her eyes widened. "Your partner?"

Lucien nodded. "Because of the injuries and the pollution, I couldn’t maintain my human form properly."

He lowered his gaze.

"That’s why I remained in that form to gather spiritual energy."

Vivian slowly understood. So Mimi wasn’t simply pretending to be a dog.

He had actually been struggling. "And then?"

Lucien looked at her. "You saved me."

His voice softened. "Now that I’m in Ignora, I don’t know anyone except you."

He paused. "So..."

His expression suddenly became pitiful. His head was placed down. "Please take care of me. When we get back to Haxia I will give you anything you want. I don’t know how to...Umm.."

Vivian stared at him.

Lucien quickly added, "I don’t know how long we will stay on this planet. I’ll find a job soon."

"I’ll earn enough Star Coins to take care of my own needs and yours too..please don’t send me away or abandon me. I have only you Vivian.."

Vivian couldn’t help smiling.

"Alright."

Lucien’s eyes brightened.

"Thank you for saving me.. My female Master.."

Vivian corrected.."Call me Vivian or Wife."

Lucien said "...no. you are my Master and my Mistress.."

He suddenly lowered himself to his knees.

Vivian blinked.

"Lucien?"

He gently placed his chin on her knee.

"I’ll behave. I will be a good Male companion... I will give you all my money when we get to Haxia. And I have a secret I will also tell you in Haxia.."

Vivian froze. Her heart skipped.

Thump. She stared down at him.

Why was he acting like a dog?

He looked so harmless.

So obedient.

And...So cute.

Vivian’s cheeks became warm. She immediately stood up.

"I-I need to go inside!"

She hurried into her room.

The moment the door closed behind her, Vivian threw herself onto the bed.

She rolled from one side to the other.

"Ahhh!"

She buried her face in the pillow. "He is so kind to me and respectful.."

She rolled again.

"Even with half of his face covered he is still handsome."

She covered her face. "At first, he was just a know-it-all."

She laughed. "But now he’s actually cute."

Vivian suddenly remembered something.

He had once promised to help her escape the Astronova family.

And now? He was injured, helpless, and completely dependent on her.

She couldn’t help laughing.

"He used to act like he could solve everything."

She hugged her pillow. "Now he’s at my mercy. I will have to bully him a little. Who told him to talk trash at me."

A strange thought suddenly entered her mind.

Vivian’s eyes widened.

"Having a child who looks like him..."

She paused. Her face turned red.."...wouldn’t be so bad."

Vivian slowly slapped both cheeks. "What am I saying?!"

She sat up.."You have a lot of things to do, Vivian! No time for men."

She grabbed her communicator as a call came in.

She answered. " Sir Darius?"

Darius Valen’s voice came through. "How are you doing in Ignora?"

Vivian looked around her destroyed room. "Not fine."

Darius was silent for a moment.nThen Vivian asked, "Did you find anything about my father?"

She lowered her voice.

"And that Guide who rejected soothing him?"

"I want to know her name."

Darius sighed. "She’s from the Federick family."

Vivian’s expression darkened. "The Federick family again?"

Her fingers tightened around the communicator.

"What am I going to do with them?"

Darius suddenly asked, "Did you kill her?"

Vivian answered calmly. "Yes."

"She wanted my life first."

There was a brief silence.

"Alright."

Darius didn’t ask for details. "Just make sure everything was cleaned perfectly."

Vivian nodded. "Don’t worry."

Darius suddenly changed the subject.

"My wife and son are currently in Ignora."

Vivian raised an eyebrow.

"My wife wants to meet you."

He paused.

"And she wants to see your Zerg."

Vivian glanced toward the door. "Beeny?"

"Yes."

Vivian smiled. "Alright."

Before she could say anything else...

BANG! The door to her room suddenly opened. Vivian jumped. "What’s wrong?"

Beeny stood there in her Orc form. She pointed toward the front door.

"Someone is outside."

Vivian frowned. "Who?"

Beeny grinned. "You won’t guess who it is."

Darius was still on the communicator.

His voice suddenly became suspicious. "Why is there an Orc in your house?"

Vivian rolled her eyes. "Don’t worry about that."

"There are rules about having Orcs in as a soldier with no high rank. Vivian...."

"You don’t have to worry about it."

She immediately ended the call. Vivian looked at Beeny. "What is it again?"

Beeny pointed toward the door. "Just go see."

Vivian sighed. "Fine."

She walked toward the front door. The moment she opened it...

She froze. Her smile disappeared.

Her eyes widened. "No..."

She instinctively tried to close the door.

But several powerful hands immediately pushed against it. The door was forced open and it almost hit her head.

Vivian stumbled backward. The guards stepped inside.

And standing behind them... Was the last person Vivian expected to see. "Bad luck," She muttered. "What do you want this time?"
