Chapter 31: Cloaking Ident.i.ty
As if stepping on a cat"s tail, Umilia jumped out of Viktor"s embrace upon hearing the sudden knock on the bathroom door.
Viktor wasn"t anxious like Umilia but was exasperated, wondering who interrupted his pa.s.sionate time with his maid.
"Mummy, are you in there? I have been looking for you and didn"t find you anywhere else," A sweet voice of a girl seeped in from the outside.
Viktor raised one of his brows as Umilia whispered, "Oh no! My daughter is back, and I still haven"t finished styling your hair."
She then asked in her normal voice, "Yes, Saya. I am here. What do you need? I am quite busy here."
"Oh, I just didn"t expect you to use this bathroom. Anyway, Tia and I had just got back, and you told me that you had someone to introduce to me. So I just wanted to ask who it was," She asked in her melodious voice, which made Viktor think that she was gifted with a beautiful voice.
And this made him curious to see how she looked as well or how similar the mother and daughter looked as well.
Umilia"s heart was thumping loudly but still replied, "Ah, yes. I will, soon. You can go to your room and rest. I will introduce that person during lunch. Ah!"
Umilia got startled when Viktor suddenly hugged her from behind and began to kiss her nape.
"Mummy, are you alright?"
"Y-Yes, I am. I just almost slipped because of the soap," Umilia said as she suppressed her nervousness, not expecting Viktor to jump on her while her daughter was just outside.
She didn"t expect him to be this naughty but also, at the same time, she felt even more turned on from his kisses as his lips left lovebites on her neck.
"Be careful, mummy. Don"t forget to wash the floor with water after you use any soap," Saya said in a concerned tone, making Umilia feel guilty for lying.
But there was no she could just say that a man was kissing her in the bathroom.
Viktor took note of what Sayana said and felt that she seemed to be a sweet and kind girl, just like her mother.
However, his tongue was busy licking her nape and over her ears, making her ears hotter and feeling ticklish sensations.
But she noticed that his tongue was lingering over her neck from time to time, making her wonder why he liked to lick her neck so much.
However, Umilia had no idea that Viktor was finding the scent of her blood pleasant, which was something very rare for him. Rarely does he ever come upon a person whose blood smells exotic to him.
And now, his eyes gleamed as if he found a new prey and couldn"t help but roll his tongue over the veins on her neck.
"Master...w-we have to get ready...before lunch gets prepared..." Umilia breathed, feeling aroused from all his licking. She also let out a sigh of relief inwardly, seeing that her daughter had returned back to her room.
She found that she was quite getting addicted to his touches and kisses, making her want even more. It was as if a fuse of pa.s.sion was lit within her soul.
But her rational thoughts still remained, telling her that this was not the time to fool around.
Viktor, who was getting intoxicated by the scent of her blood, had his senses return to reality hearing her words.
He didn"t know how much about him Umilia knew, including the fact that he was a bloodsucker. But he decided to ask about it later, and based on that, he could probably gain a new blood donor!
So he reluctantly let go of her since she was right that he had to be ready by lunch at least.
Umilia felt relieved that Viktor didn"t insist on continuing, but at the same time, she was disappointed that they had to stop for now.
With panicky movements, she quickly put on her maid clothes back while adjusting her hair to make sure no one notices anything out of order, especially Taya.
She felt that if Taya or her daughter found out what she did, it would be extremely shameful.
Viktor"s b.o.n.e.r was still up, but he could only sigh as he told Umilia to continue with her business of doing him a makeover.
Soon within ten minutes, Umilia finished what she was supposed to do, making him look like a cute college boy. The rest would depend on Viktor since he would have to act like an innocent countryside kid.
Umilia then took out a spectacle case from her pocket and placed it before Viktor, "Master, this is your specs that Madam has requested that you wear to cloak your ident.i.ty. She said that this was how you usually do it. But how does it work?" She asked curiously.
Viktor opened the case and took out the white rectangular specs kept inside it. He examined it from all sides as he answered, "You see, mostly it depends on my acting, posture, and dressing. These three factors could hugely affect how a person recognizes someone. But the main reason I am perfectly able to cloak my ident.i.ty is that I can influence people"s minds to prevent them from recognizing my ident.i.ty." free(w)ebnovel
"It"s nothing fancy, but all I do is make their brain perceive my face as unimportant. Because of which, even if they really want to remember my face, they wouldn"t remember the important details or features of my face, thus making them unable to recognize me later on."
Umilia had an astonished expression and felt a bit worried if she would forget his face.
Viktor saw through her worries and laughed, "Don"t worry. How can I let a beauty like you forget my face? It only works if I want to."
Umilia shyly smiled while feeling inwardly relieved and asked, "But how are you able to influence people"s minds?"
Umilia was finding this all so mystifying and inconceivable, just the same as how he was able to retain his youth for countless centuries.
