The Bored Immortal

"F-Fine! This time I will allow you to carry me…" Tiana said in a flustered tone and had no idea why she was inwardly so nervous.

However, she put on a tough expression to not make Lucien think that she was intimidated by him or anything.

Viktor smiled as he shook his head and walked towards his office.

Tiana saw his smile and became dazed by seeing how dangerously charming his smile was. It was as if his perfect smile had a certain mystery to it that could draw in people.

But her thoughts reeled in as she realized that she was getting princess carried by a man for the first time, and it made her feel strange yet…excited.

And the way he was carrying her seemed like it was effortless for him. Was she that light?

However, her eyes widened the next moment when Viktor repositioned her to make her lie over his right shoulder as if carrying a rice sack, her stomach resting on his shoulder, "Now this feels better."

"Hey! I am not a fucking pig to get carried like this!" Tiana's face became red from anger and embarrassment since she could see people giving stares of amusement at her and giggling to themselves.

"Relax. Do you want me to drop you then? I thought you couldn't walk?" Viktor asked casually and acted as if he was about to drop her.

"No, no! I..I…Haa…Damn it!" Tiana let out a defeated sigh and had no choice but to lie over his shoulder with her arms and legs dangling in the air like some animal. She didn't like going back on what she claimed.

"Then at least walk faster!"

"Call me Teacher instead of 'Hey' and I will walk faster, beyond your expectations," Viktor chuckled and continued, "Also, whenever you request something from someone, don't forget to add the word 'please'."

Tiana was frustrated to hear his words and pressed her lips together in annoyance as if she would rather stay like this than obey him.

But in the end, she was still a public figure in a way, especially since her mother's face was displayed around the world in magazines, billboards, and so on. So, it was only natural that Tiana would also want to maintain a certain image of herself to not let her mother down.

And so, she finally said after a lot of hesitation, "Fine…Teacher…walk faster…please…"

Tiana grimaced as she said these words. It was as if she had to gather all her willpower to vomit these words.

"Now that's a good girl," Viktor patted her back as he quickly walked towards his office, and before Tiana knew it, Viktor had already made her sit on a chair.

"Show me your legs. Let me clean your wound and apply a bandaid," Viktor instructed while Tiana silently raised her long slender legs for him.

Viktor took a cotton swab and crouched before her legs before holding the soft calf of one of her legs, startling Tiana as she didn't expect him to hold her legs, "Hey!"

"What did I say just before?" Viktor asked her with squinted eyes.

"T-Teacher…" Tiana mumbled with pursed lips while wondering why she was doing whatever he said. Still, feeling his hot palm under her sensitive calf made her feel as if a strange sense of heat was passing throughout her body.

"Sss…Ow!" However, she got distracted as she grimaced upon feeling a stinging sensation on her wounds as Viktor cleaned them.

"Don't be a crybaby. This is nothing," Viktor chuckled. However, he couldn't help but feel that her legs were extremely pleasant to the touch. It was as if he was holding a piece of art in his hand.

"I am not!" Tiana said in an aggrieved tone but seeing Lucien treat her wounds with such care and focus made her feel…special?

What the hell am I thinking…He is my new teacher…Tiana didn't understand why she was getting so distracted by him. Is this what they call having a crush on a man? No way!....I just met him, and he is my teacher too…

Tiana felt that maybe her mind must be acting stupid because of all the drinks from yesterday.

"There…it's done," Viktor said as he got up after applying band-aid on both her knees.

"It is?" Tiana mumbled in a slightly disappointed tone without her even realizing it.

"Why? You don't want it to be?"

"N-No. I…I am going…back to my class…" Tiana got up in a flustered manner as she limped towards the door.

"Wait…aren't you forgetting something?"

'What does he want now??' Tiana clicked her tongue as she stopped walking and asked without turning her head around, "What…is it?"

"A 'thank you'...Whenever someone helps you out or does a favor for you, you should thank them. This is something even kids know. I thought you already knew about this," Viktor said with crossed arms as he leaned against his desk.

"You can't be serious…" Tiana mumbled indignantly as she never had to say thank you to anyone since it was only natural to her that people helped her out because of who she was. In fact, shouldn't they feel honored they got to help her?

"Oh, I am definitely serious. You see, you can't take people's help for granted, which I think you have for all this time. You need to let them know that you respect them and appreciate your help. So if you don't say thank you to me, then it means you disrespect your teacher and do not appreciate my help," Viktor said, taking the poise of a wise guru.

Tiana had a blinking expression since even to this day until now, she didn't know why people thank each other. But now, after learning the true meaning behind a simple 'thank you', she didn't feel that much hesitation to thank Lucien and said with pursed lips as she evaded his gaze, "T-Thank you…teacher…"

Viktor smiled, "Good girl. Now head back to your class. I will see you again next class."

Tiana subtly nodded and walked out.. And before she knew it, his last sentence was making her feel hidden anticipation.
