The Bored Immortal Chapter 427

"Orgaz, there better be a good reason for disturbing me while I am obviously busy," Ara said with a mean stare.

Orgaz was baffled to see her only put her head out while revealing the naked skin of her shoulder and the ends of a bathrobe sticking out. From this, he instantly concluded that she was busy bathing when he came knocking.

He quickly turned around as he apologized, "Forgive me, Madam. I will immediately inform the President that you are indisposed."

Ara inwardly let out a sigh of relief upon feeling relieved that she was able to fool Orgaz.

Ironically it was Azu who told her this idea to come up with a convincing excuse for disappearing so long.

"No need. I will talk to her myself," Mevron's voice suddenly boomed in the corridor, making Ara's face and body become stiff for a second.

She didn't expect her husband to suddenly barge into this corridor. Was he suspicious that she was gone for a long time? Of course, why wouldn't he? He clearly knew she would never leave the guests unattended, especially when so many important guests had gathered around.

But what worried her the most was if he would notice that his most treasured fruit was missing. If he checks it now she might be done for. If only he had come later things wouldn't be so dangerous.

"Orgaz, you can leave," Mevron ordered with a firm expression as Orgaz immediately left while Mevron walked towards his room with his hands behind his back.

Orgaz was a perceptive man who felt that something seemed off with Ara now that he thought about it. But he shook off these thoughts since it was none of his business and only Mevron was qualified to even handle things concerning her.

Even though Ara was nervous, she calmed herself down and put up an confused expression, "Dear, what's wrong—"

Before Ara could even finish, Mevron forcibly opened the door as he barged into the room, his eyes and senses scanning the room like a hawk.

Ara didn't even gulp as she tried to control her heartbeat lest Mevron thought she was up to something. Still, she was confident and relieved Mevron wouldn't find Azu in this room since he wasn't even here anymore.

A few minutes ago, before Orgaz knocked on Ara's door, she was contemplating whether she should listen to this lowly rascal who fooled her.

"Fine! I will tell you a way to get out of here silently, but…if you even let out a whisper or squeak of what happened here, I will personally make sure you suffer a fate worse than death, and that also includes everyone you love or care about. Do you get me?" Ara asked with a glowering look.

"Fine by me. But you better make it quick and free me first. Who knows when somebody or your husband might come here," Viktor calmly said, though inwardly he wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible before somebody else came here. He again got a signal from Sera, and that meant somebody was surely coming towards this room.

Ara pulled her hair in frustration as she said, "Uggh, get up and use this secret passway," Ara freed Azu as she drew a rune on the wall, and a small secret door revealed itself from within the wall.

Viktor pulled together his brows, wondering why Mevron would build a secret passage in his own room. It just didn't make sense, though he decided to first escape before thinking about other things.

As soon as those water coils disappeared around his body, he regained control over his limbs as he immediately got up and rushed towards the secret door.

"I have had better, but thanks," Viktor chuckled before disappearing into the secret passage.

"YOU!!" Ara almost bit her tongue in a rage since he clearly was mocking her for what happened between them. What pissed her off even more was that he made it sound like he had fucked better women than her. It was no different than rubbing salt onto her wound.

But she snorted as her eyes flashed with a cold glint, "I will be having the last laugh, Azu. Enjoy your last day," She mumbled as she closed the secret door, no longer having to worry if Azu would tell anybody else about what happened here.

And now, in the present, here she was, praying that Mevron doesn't find anything fishy. She had done her best to quickly put out new bedsheets and make sure everything looked as it was before.

"Dear, what is wrong? Why did you suddenly come here?" Ara pretended as if she was really confused since this would be how she would have reacted in an ordinary situation.

Mevron let out a subtle grunt as he saw that nothing seemed out of the ordinary. He turned around and looked at his wife with a fixed gaze as he calmly said, "It's nothing. I actually wanted to see if you were alright after you suddenly left like that. You never leave all those guests alone like that. So what happened, or why take a bath all of a sudden? Didn't you take one before the function began?"

Even though Mevron was asking calmly, Ara could feel the hidden pressure behind his voice. Still, since she was used to this for a long time, she was able to casually say with an exasperated look, "Ugh, I am so sorry, dear. I know it was not right for me to let you entertain everyone alone, but some ignorant maid bumped into me and let some drink stain my dress. I got rid of her immediately, but I had to take a bath since I can't appear before the guests after what happened."

She then continued as she caressed his arm and said with a smile, "But don't worry. I am done with my bath, and we can go back there together, hm?"

Mevron furrowed his brows as he nodded with a certain glint in his eyes, "You go on ahead. I will be following you right behind."

Meanwhile, Viktor made out of the secret passage to find himself in the middle of some forest, though he narrowed his eyes upon seeing the person in front of him, "I knew it…"
