The Bored Immortal

"So Sera, it seems our man Azu here is willing to do what it takes. But would you?" Yanah asked, maintaining the teasing smile.

Seraphina had never felt so abashed, but at the same time, she was no longer feeling as down as before. She realized she had already made a decision before Yanah even asked, and without even considering all that, how could she afford to lose out on the only chance that would save her realm?

So she slowly raised her head and silently nodded, despite knowing that she had just agreed to step into a dangerous territory she had never been to before.

Viktor had a slight look of disbelief since he didn't expect such a pure being to agree to this without any hesitation. But then he knew how desperate she was to save her realm. However, he wanted to know if she really didn't mind doing such things with him if it was not for her realm being in danger.

He knew he couldn't ask directly, but he knew there were other ways to find out.

"Great! So now let's talk about the important part," Yanah said with a beaming smile.

Viktor didn't know why but she was smiling like a salesman who successfully managed to lure in two customers.

Still, he asked with a doubtful look, "What important part?"

"Like obviously, you have to do something for me to give you that art," Yannah said as a matter of fact.

"Ahh…I knew it. Well, cough it out, and it better be something I can do," Viktor said, hoping Yannah wouldn't tell him to do something like killing Ara, which would involve a lot of headache and complications.

Yannah curved her lips as she smiled, "Aw, no, no. It's quite simple, dear. I want you to …impregnate me," As Yannah said this, she seductively bit her lower lip and looked into Viktor's eyes.

"Whoa…what did you just say? You want me to…impregnate you? Are you kidding me?" Viktor felt that Yannah was simply messing with him considering her nature but seeing how she was looking at him, it was dawning on him that she was indeed serious.

He looked at Seraphina, who showed a helpless look, and then again looked at Yannah as he sighed and said, "Why? I mean, it is not that I mind, obviously. But if this is about wanting to have a child desperately, the question is why?" Viktor wasn't really unfamiliar with such a request since, in the long past, there were indeed women who asked him such requests, hoping to bear a child that was as handsome and strong as him.

Unfortunately, they had no idea that he couldn't impregnate anyone despite being a god in bed. Still, he did it with them anyway, just to make them happy.

However, Yannah was not any ordinary human. She was the queen of an entire race, and he wanted to know why someone so powerful with such a high status would want his child, though he could guess why.

Seraphina didn't feel that her request was strange, considering how her people had been suffering for all these years. In fact, she was hoping Viktor could help her out as long as he was okay with it.

Yannah's expression became a bit doleful as she said, "It must not be that hard for you to notice that my people are dying. We have been cursed to slowly die in this shitpile of a place. It was my ancestors that placed a powerful barrier around this place that prevents any non-human races from entering unless I allow it. That is why even Mevron or anyone else like him never tried to get rid of us personally."

"Oh…" Viktor now understood why Mevron sent human adventurers to deal with the sirens.

Yannah's expression became fierce as she said, "But…I have no plans to stay here, waiting for a miserable end. I want to liberate my people and make sure we can reclaim our rightful home, which the mermaids now hog for themselves, hmph. And for that, I need someone powerful than is not only of my blood to break us out of this curse. So…" Yannah's gaze became fixed on Viktor as she continued, "...only an immortal like you could give me a child that will break the chains that bind my people."

Viktor was feeling a bit bad, especially after knowing that she was doing this to save her race, just like Seraphina. The problems humans had among themselves back on Earth seemed so minuscule compared to the problems these two were having.

But he felt even more bad knowing that he couldn't impregnate anyone. So with a difficult look, he said, "I am sorry, Yannah. I wish I could help, but you have to know that I can't impregnate anyone. I had tried for centuries, so…" Viktor remembered about Taya since she desperately wanted to have a child with him as well, and even now, she seemed to be researching to find a way.

He didn't know it was because of these things, but he was starting to wish that he was normal in this aspect. All this while he thought that it was helpful considering he was an immortal who can't have any responsibilities that can't outlive him. But now, his opinion about it was starting to change.

Yannah's expression surprisingly changed into one of excitement as she leaned forward and said, "Aw, is that what you have been worrying about? Don't worry. I tasted your blood while you were sleeping, and I know a simple fix to your problem."

"You what? Ah, never mind. You really know a fix? What is it?" Viktor eagerly asked, not expecting her to have a solution.

"I learned what I need from Seraphina, especially about the fact that you are a half-blood. And even if you don't seem to remember it, I am sure you exchanged your Origin Blood with a vampire and a werewolf in the past who were supposed to be your lifelong partners. It's weird that you remember none of it and that they are not here with you,"

Tara and Eli's faces flashed in Viktor's mind, which made his heart feel heavy for some reason, and he wondered if he was really in love with these two women. And if so, what happened to them that was making his heart feel so strange? He wished he could just dig out his entire part from his subconscious.

"Your past is as mysterious as it gets, but I like it. Ah, I am digressing. Anyway, the solution is …"
