Kapitel 72: Conversation with the Wife

"Oh? Please don't bother about what I said. I was imagining a recent problem and got confused, dear." Lothur quickly dodged Viktoria's questions, not showing much of his nervousness.

"Is that so?" She observed him but did not pursue the subject, even though her intuition told her he was hiding something.

"It's good that you care about learning how to defend yourself, but don't overdo it."

"Don't try to compete with cultivators. It's pointless for a mortal to do that, even considering your recovery ability."

"You think so?" He smiled without exposing much of his fun, already imagining the expression Viktoria would make when he revealed his strength.

She ignored his jocular tone comment and touched on another subject she had discussed with Annaliese. "My sister told me about what happened between my parents and you on Friday night..."

Hearing that, Lothur lost his earlier smile and got a solemn expression. He looked at her and realized a slight concern in his wife's eyes.
