The Bored Immortal

Chapter 214 - He Was Unkillable

Viktor and Nyissa had no idea about what was going inside Laynar's head. However, the two were secretly anticipating for the night to arrive since that was when their engagement ceremony was going to be held.

It was still evening, but the patriarch had already announced the engagement news of his daughter, which was like a thunderclap to every single one in the Fujo Clan.

In fact, those who heard it for the first time were frozen on the spot as if they could hardly believe their ears.

Without any hints or warnings, their young mistress, who had remained single for all these centuries, suddenly wanted to marry a man? Or was it an arranged marriage set up by the patriarch? Lots of speculation was going among the people of this clan.

The usually peaceful and quiet clan were now lot more lively as the people were confused but excited at the same time as well.

Everyone was wondering if their patriarch's daughter was really going to remain celibate for the rest of her life since it would be just sad, especially since there would be no continuation to the lineage of the patriarch.

They all then remembered the special guest that walked in today, and of course, Brad was obviously not the person, but they remembered the strikingly handsome young man and felt that he could possibly be their young mistress' fiance.

Still, they have no idea who he was or where he was coming from. Was he coming from a clan they had friendly relations with? Again a lot of guesses and speculations regarding this came up, and the whole clan was bustling with these rumors, gossips, making Nyissa's engagement the talk of the day.

But of course, the other shocking part was that the patriarch was going to conduct the engagement ceremony today. How could something this big be conducted so quickly? Still, since it was an engagement and not marriage, they were able to digest the news somehow.

It was just too sudden, and most were running here and there in preparation for it. Every single servant and maids were busy in preparation for it and also to make sure the ceremony would be grand enough since this was the first time in a long time such an auspicious ceremony was going to be held.

Meanwhile, Laynar was bowing before an old man looking in his late sixties with a beard and mustache. He was wearing white robes and had a sturdy stick in his hand, making one wonder why he was using it as a support to walk when he looked so healthy.

But only those who knew about this man, Karn Fujo, the first chief of the Fujo Clan, someone who literally looked after 1/4th of Fujo Clan's lands, resources, and everything, would know that this stick was his greatest weapon.

Everyone who was part of the Fujo Clan had Fujo as their surname, even if they were blood-related or not. It was a tradition they followed to respect their ancestor and to remember him.

"Father, please...you have to do something...I can't let Nyissa marry some foreigner!" Laynar never thought the engagement would take place today, and this made him feel as if the world was going to end soon, and he had to do something about it.

Karn squinted his eyes as he looked at his son and said calmly, "You seriously think I am simply sitting here without doing anything? Remain calm and let the ceremony start first. Then we will see what happens."

Laynar had a bewildered look, wondering why his father seemed so calm, but then he knew his father was always shrewd about things like these and decided to leave it to him.

"But still...can you tell me who that man named Viktor exactly is? Just now, you met the patriarch regarding this news, right?" Laynar asked in an impatient tone.

Karn pulled together his brows as he said, "This is something I don't understand. Apparently, that man named Viktor is not from a clan of wizards or witches or any clan that follows practices similar to ours. He is a...vampire...and a...werewolf. I am sure the patriarch wouldn't joke about things like these, but how could something like him exist? A child of a vampire and a werewolf? That should be impossible. And the other strange part is that he does not belong to any clan. I don't get why the patriarch is marrying his daughter off to someone like him, a rogue, who is not remotely related to our clan and instead belongs to some other race. We never had such a precedent in our clan. All the patriarch said was this was something our ancestor wanted which only puzzled me even more. Anyway, I have taken some measures, and I am sure this engagement won't be proceeding smoothly. The patriarch can only blame himself for this," Karn said with a tight smile.

Laynar's eye glinted with hope seeing how his father was indignant as well. It was obvious that whoever got to marry Nyissa would gain most of the Fujo Clan's power in the future.

But inwardly, he was even more pissed off to hear that Viktor was not even human but of a race that was no different than wild animals. That was his opinion of beings like vampires and werewolves.

And remembering the scene of someone like Viktor being intimate with his woman made him feel like clawing his nerves out in anger and frustration.

He couldn't bear to let them be close for even a second more, and waiting for the ceremony to happen tonight seemed like an eternity.

Meanwhile, Viktor finally decided to ask Nyissa about some things he saw in his vision.

"A vampire and a werewolf princess? The Frost King? Who are these people?" Nyissa asked in a confused tone, wondering why Viktor was asking about these things.

Viktor slowly shook his head, "I don't know...But as I told you before, my past is a mystery to me, and I recently had these visions that just seemed too real to be a dream. I learned about these things from those visions."

'Could it be when he was in his true form?' Nyissa inwardly speculated and again had a dilemma whether she should tell him about it. But the idea of Viktor permanently turning into something she won't be able to recognize made her hesitate. She felt that if she had the council of her aunt, Sae, then she would know what to do. But unfortunately, she was not here.

She then remembered Bamir addressing Viktor's wolf form as the Silver Night King. She felt as if she had heard this name somewhere and said to Viktor, "You don't have to worry too much. We could always try and visit the clans ranked above us to browse their library of ancient records. Since these clans are older than us, they would have more records from the past. But actually, I have heard of a certain powerful being from the ancient past that possessed a similar characteristic to yours."

Viktor knitted his brows and asked, "What was it?"

"He was unkillable…" Nyissa said with narrowed eyes as she remembered what she read about the Silver Night King.
