The Bored Immortal

"Send Umi inside," Taya said in a low voice as she pressed her ear, much to the confusion of Viktor, wondering who she was talking to and why she was pressing her ear.

"Is there something in your ear? And who are you talking to?" Viktor asked in pure curiosity.

Taya let out a soft chuckle hearing his question, thinking that she made the right decision to assign him a personal maid who would help him get accustomed to modern things.

*Click!*

Suddenly the door opened, and Viktor turned his head to see a luscious beauty in her mid-thirties entering the room, wearing a grey dress with white trim and lay down collars, short sleeves, a full skirt at above knee length with center pleat and a V-hemline apron with contrasting trim.

He recognized this as a maid outfit, but the woman's appearance made him raise his brows.

She had light olive skin with light green eyes giving off an exotic feel about her. Her face was heart-shaped, with a shapely nose and thin, pink lips.

Her long and thick black hair was tied into a bun, making her appear more professional. But the main attractive feature about her was how voluptuous and curvaceous she looked even when she was wearing maid clothes.

Her maid clothes, despite appearing decent and conservative, were somewhat hugging onto her curves, making her curves appear pleasing to the eyes.

He could only imagine how much ravishing she would look in tight fitting clothes.

Even though she was in her mid-thirties, her face still had a younger charm accentuated by her buxom body, which didn't seem to match her age.

Viktor had no doubt that she must have been even more lovely during her twenties if she still seemed so attractive at this age. However, her younger self wouldn't be as alluring as her mature self, Viktor thought.

Umi came inside and closed the door before bowing respectfully towards Taya, "Thank you for giving me this chance, Madam."

She then looked at Viktor and bowed with a hint of reverence in her eyes, "You will be in my care, Master Viktor. I promise not to disappoint you and hope you will be satisfied with my care."

'Seems like my days here won't be bad after all,' Viktor inwardly chuckled, seeing that he was even getting a maid of his own.

However, Viktor was surprised that he was going to have his own personal maid, a striking beauty at that when he thought that Taya didn't like beauties being around him. He wondered if she finally felt some pity for him or if some ghost took over her soul momentarily.

Taya noticed the evil glint in his eyes but then sighed, thinking that whatever happens is not something she could bother about since Umi was an adult who was capable of making her own decisions.

If possible, she would have assigned a manservant, but then she couldn't find anybody she could truly trust.

The last thing she wanted was to see Viktor philandering before her, but there was no choice in this matter.

However, Viktor was surprised at how overly respectful this maid was to him, especially when he looked like a vagabond.

He doubtfully looked at Taya, who saw through his confusion and said, "Umi knows who you are. I have briefed her as well since she would be personally taking care of you. I hope you don't mind."

Viktor shrugged, "Well, you know if you trust her, then it's all good." Viktor was confident in Taya's capability to find people she could trust since he was the one who taught her everything she needed to know to survive on her own and also to know what kind of people to keep close to.

However, Viktor wondered where Taya was bringing these women from since he was sure Umi was a foreigner and not a native of Ashua. Likewise, he also felt that Eva was not from Ashua as well.

He then speculated that she must have recruited them during one of her long travels. He also wondered how many else knew about his identity.

"Don't worry. No one else knows other than Eva and Umi. Not even my own daughter, of course. You can also trust these two to never mention your true identity to anyone else," Taya confidently said, guessing that Viktor had this question in his mind.

Umi subtly raised her gaze to take a peek at Viktor and was a bit surprised seeing how much Viktor trusted Taya and vice versa as well.

She had been suppressing her excitement, happiness, and nervousness since Taya trusted her with the task of taking care of the most powerful and mysterious figure of the Snow Family, who was also considered to be the benefactor who raised the Snow Family to become one of the most powerful families in the world.

Although on the outside, Viktor looked nothing like the image she had formed in her mind, she knew that a man like him who had stayed hidden for so long would surely appear low-key instead of anything grand.

She had quite a lot of experience with her age as well, and thus she knew never to judge someone based on their appearance.

"I have told her what exactly to do to give you a look that we want you to appear as. She will also fill you in with the made-up backstory we created for you. And this includes you being a countryside kid having little to no knowledge of city life or the latest technology. So this would cover up for you having no knowledge about these things for the time being. But since your identity involves you being a nerd, you will have to catch up pretty quick, which I am sure you can."

"So, you can go ahead and prepare before my daughter returns from her usual shopping spree," Taya said with a sigh.

"Alright, alright. I guess I have a lot of learning to do as usual," Viktor said as he walked backward.

"Don't forget to use the spectacles Umi will give you to cloak your physical identity," Taya said as a reminder.

Viktor waved his hands as a 'yes' while walking towards the door with Umi. He knew what Taya was talking about since this was something he used to do to wander around in different identities without having to go through exaggerated disguises.

"Oh, by the way, where is Brad and your brother, Noah? I thought I would come upon them here," Viktor curiously asked as he turned back.

"Oh, father is rushing here as fast as possible the moment he heard that you returned. As for Noah, he is currently on a business trip and wouldn't be able to come here anytime soon," Taya replied.

Umi felt it a bit surreal to hear that the most senior figure and the true head of the Snow Family, Brad Snow, was 'rushing' here as fast as possible.

If she didn't know any better, she would have never believed that a prestigious figure like Brad, who usually had a serious and aloof demeanor, would even have to 'rush' to someplace.

Instead, it was the exact opposite usually as even the most influential people would have to cross a lot of hurdles just to see him for a second.

Taya continued, "Besides, Noah and his family don't live here due to certain reasons."

"Oh, I see," Viktor didn't think much of it as there were families who had certain members live separately. He nodded as he left the room with Umi.

Taya finally took in a deep breath as she pressed her hand against her chest, feeling that she was still getting affected by his presence.
