If you've had your fill, just kill her and those useless children of her's, there's no reason to escalate matters."

" If you still haven't had your fill, you can just capture her and place her somewhere else where you can go and use her whenever you please."

" That could actually work. Brother your brilliant." Charles eyes suddenly brightened after hearing what his brother had to say.

" A genius is calling me a genius. Looks like I might be a reincarnated emperor." Henry chuckled. " Come brother, there's no need to be moody when there's lots to enjoy." Henry and Charles laughed before heading down to mingle with the guests.

" From the barony of wiserfield, Baron Frederick wiserfield!"

" Owner of Rose merchant group, Sir Guezril Hamlin." The late attendees of the party were annoyed by the announcer. With each new arrival, the crowd would murmur amongst themselves because it was known that only the most influential figures usually arrived last for party's like these.

" So this is how a gala is like." Su Ping sat a random table at the edge of the grand hall with Melinda, Sal and Mel.

Su Ping spotted a passing waiter who had a tray filled with glasses of cocktail and drinks.

" Don't mind if I do." Su Ping smirked mischievously.

[Dark Tentacles]

Two dark tentacles popped out from the shadow beneath his seat, moving swiftly, picking two glasses before retracting back to Su Ping.

" Care for a drink my dear." Su Ping flashed a cheeky grin at his wife who chuckled before taking it from the tentacle. Melinda then clinked glasses with Su Ping before taking a sip of the wine. Her face turned a bit rosy, not expecting the wine to be of such fine quality.

" Darling, why not keep those away less you scare the other guest's." Melinda stared at Su Pings dark tentacles that were busy playing with Mel and Sal who giggled with each touch.

" As you wish." Su Ping chuckled, the Dark Tentacles tickled Mel and Sal's tummies before retracting into the shadow and vanishing.

" Daughter of Viscount Edward Montgomery, Victoria Montgomery." The moment the announcer mentioned the name Montgomery, everyone on the floor all turned their gazes towards the person making her way down the stairs to the Grand hall.

Victoria who was dressed in a black stunning dress that looked like it was designed after the enchanting night sky itself, looked even more stunning than she previously was. Her curvy figure and seductive beauty, even attracted gazes of longing from some of the guests, if one said that the entire grand hall all had eyes for that stunning woman, no one would be able to refute.

" Lady Victoria, you look even more stunning this evening."

" Lady Victoria's beauty is beyond words, even an angel couldn't compare."

" My dear when will you finally be willing to get wed, if your interested, I know of a few prominent bachelor's that would surely meet your taste."

Victoria who was suddenly the center of attention, smiled amicably, while nodding at the guest's who came up to greet her, yet her eyes was always moving from place to place, as if looking for someone in particular.

' Found you.' Victoria'sips curled up ever so slightly when she spotted the figure she was looking for at the far edge of the hall.

" ...!!"

' This pesky woman! Can't she let me be?!' Su Ping began regretting ever warping Victoria's mind because the troublesome girl was now heading this way.

Su Ping knew that if she came here, all attention would definitely be on them, or more particularly, himself.

He refused to be exposed so soon. Who knew what thoughts they'd have if the saw the first daughter of the viscount suddenly acting infatuated with a random man.

Su Ping didn't want to think of how the viscount himself would react, after all, he just got here today. If the man saw his daughter suddenly acting like some vixen around him, Su Ping didn't need to add two plus two to know that the Viscount would definitely become suspicious.

Victoria's heart beat speed up as she made her way through the crowd, squeezing through people as she got closer and closer to Su Ping's location.

" Found you...?" Victoria blinked, looking confused when she saw Su Ping's seat completely empty.

' Where did he go?' She wondered, glancing around.

" Lady Victoria, do you need something?" Melinda asked with a smile. Victoria stiffened, she approached the table with a friendly smile, to think she'd missed the woman that her master favoured so much.

" Sister, You look stunning in that dress." Victoria smiled before sitting at the table. Her actions naturally attracted the gazes of several within the crowd and soon murmurs began to grow.

" Thank you my lady, You look equally stunning yourself, some might say even more beautiful than most." Melinda replied with a smile.

" I'm honored sister thinks of me so highly." Victoria chuckled before turning her gaze towards Mel and Sal. " These two must be mister Su's children. They really do resemble him, I'm sure you must be proud."

" I really am sister, I'm really blessed to have such a wonderful husband all to myself aren't I."

" Well I won't deny that." Victoria chuckled yet she cursed Melinda within her heart. To think that she would actually say such a thing to her.

' Looks like I've underestimated her, she really isn't like other coward commoners...'

Mel and Sal were silent, staring at the woman at their table with curious looks.

" Well I hope you enjoy the event, I'll have to excuse myself now, they're still lots of guests to greet." Victoria said before she got up.

" Goodluck my lady, I hope you have a wonderful evening." Melinda watched Victoria leave before she entered the crowd of mingling people.

" Is she gone?" A small voice came from Melinda's lap. A black snakes head suddenly popped up onto the table, glancing left and right as if to make sure the dastardly vixen was really gone.

" Yes she is." Melinda sighed helplessly. She lifted the folded suit on her lap and placed it behind her table.

Su Ping quickly reverted from a snake back to his human form, making sure to fit into the suit at the same time. After he was done he sat in his seat with a tired sigh.

To think that he, the mighty Dark Dragon King, was actually forced to hide from a human woman. Su Ping then turned towards Melinda with a curious look.

" Why didn't you send her away immediately?" He asked with a raised brow.

" I just wanted to know what type of woman she was." Melinda said before taking a sip of her wine. " Is it wrong for me to know the type of women my husband stays around with." Her face suddenly changed into one of amusement.

Su Ping pressed his lips tight but didn't say anything. He didn't understand what she meant by that. He wondered how it was possible to know what type of person someone was from a single conversation. In the end he simply ignored it since he could already tell from Melinda's look that she obviously wouldn't explain it to him.

' She's just trying to tease me again.' Su Ping felt a sense of helplessness, he couldn't help remembering back when his wife was more docile and easy to understand yet now she seemed more like an unpredictable courtesan and he was the clueless emperor who couldn't understand her thoughts completely.

But just because he was the clueless emperor didn't mean he was under her complete control. The courtesan might be smart, but even she couldn't get the emperor to abdicate his throne.

." If she's proving troublesome, then why not imbue her with a different set of commands." Melinda said in a hushed whisper but her husband shook his head lightly at her remark.

" It's not as easy as you think." Su Ping sighed. " Let's take for example, her mind is a blank canvas, if I were to place her under my temporary control, it would be like using chalk on a black board."

" I can easily erase it afterwards but, placing her under my permanent control is the same as using black dye on a white cloth... With my current level of expertise, it's hard to rewrite. Trying to write something else into her would be troubling, like trying to untangle a meshed up ball of yarn... It's possible but I might risk damaging her mind if I'm not careful."

' Who knows...she might even acquire several split personalities.' Su Ping shivered inwardly at the thought. An unpredictable Victoria was the last thing he wanted right now.

Melinda's demeanor turned intrigued but she didn't say anything else afterwards. Since her husband had already told her it couldn't be done, she had no intention of questioning him further.

" Sir, would you like a glass of wine." Su Ping raised a brow when a waiter approached him with a tray of wine glasses in hand.
