After hearing Lothur agree with her for the first time in this conversation, Viktoria felt a little better. "But I don't want you to continue with that woman."
"No, not that." He shook his head, at the same time feeling her heaving breath on his bare chest. "I'll tell you who I date, but you won't have any power of choice regarding that."
"I will just let you know so that we can deal with the situation more efficiently."
She then clasped her hands in anger at this uncontrollable young man, feeling frustrated that she could not make him obey. "All right."
"Tell me about this woman then..."
He then gave a brief account of the redhead he was with when Annaliese caught them. "Her name is Elke Becker, she's 17, and she's my classmate in geopolitics class."
"Becker? The young lady from the Becker family?"
"Hmm, that must be her."
Viktoria's eyebrows drew together tightly, and she increased the tone of the conversation. "Definitely not!"
"This woman is not for you to play with! That will only bring trouble to our family and may even worsen the relationship between the Beckers and us!"
p As Anneke had told Lothur earlier, the Becker family was in the mining business in this province. And even if House Frost was number one in this productive sector, if the other competitors got together, even Viktoria's family could face problems.
Plus, considering how her Frost family's connections had recently been with the local powers, Viktoria could not help but think that Lothur's move would only worsen everything.
"Tsk!"
"Rest assured. I know what I'm doing." He turned and walked out of that bathroom, heading toward the garment he had already separated on his bed.
"No, Lothur, you can't do that. That girl will soon become available for her family to find an arranged husband to create relationships with other powers."
"You continuing this madness will create problems for all the organizations involved in this!" She shouted at him as she followed him out of the bathroom.
However, as she did so, she saw something she did not want to when the healthy young man stood completely naked in front of her as he dressed.
"You..." She was appalled to look at her husband the way he had come into the world. 'What a shameless man!'
'He dares show that thing to me?' She bit her lips and said. "Lothur, are you doing this on purpose? Do you want me to teach you a lesson today?"
"Viktoria, you are in my room. First, you broke into my bathroom while I was taking a shower. And now you followed me while I came to get dressed."
"What do you want?"
"Tsk!"

'What an annoying rascal!'
He ignored the woman slowly approaching him and said as he stood with his back to her. "Anyway, I will start doing as you said before. I will be more careful in my adventures and talk to you about the women I go out with."
"Other than that, I'll be careful with Elke, but I'm not going to stop doing what I want because bigger problems might affect me." He said, ready to maintain his mindset at all costs.
"You're truly not going to listen to me?" She pulled him by one of his arms, making him stand against one of the walls of that place, face to face with her.
"No." He smiled.
"If it were another day, maybe if you kissed me... No, not even that." He let go of her and walked to the side of his bed.
After sitting there and seeing Viktoria's deadly cold stare, he got ready to lie down and said. "By the way, since we've already made it clear how things will happen in the future, I want you to tell your sister about this."
"Annaliese?" Her eyebrows went wide because of her surprise. "Why? What are you thinking, Lothur?"
"She keeps testing my patience talking about how I can't get involved with other women and things like that. So, I want you to make it clear to her about our arrangement."
"Maybe then she can accept the situation without more problems being generated between us..." He said with a mysterious smile on his face, thinking of his sister-in-law.
If Viktoria did what he was asking, that would be enough for him to win the bet previously made with Annaliese. And with that, he could finally start training with her!
'With that done, I'll probably be able to level up quickly!' He pondered what would happen next.
He did not know exactly how the advances regarding his 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' worked. But considering that all bodies had their limits, he understood that it was not enough to be beaten by the strongest person in the world for him to become better than this individual.
But what would be the limit of this? How much would his attributes improve with training alongside Annaliese? Would these increases decrease over time?
Anyway, he had many questions in mind. Still, he felt that using the possibilities of his Physique was what would help him understand these points. At the same time, he felt that he could even learn more about the system by doing so.
Hence, he was excited for tomorrow when he could finally approach Annaliese regarding their agreement.
But while Lothur was thinking about tomorrow, Viktoria was still standing beside him, looking at him in a complicated way.
"All right, I'll tell my sister not to bother you about it..."
"But I don't want you taking a shine to her side. She is out of bounds, do you hear me?" She approached the young man lying on that bed and said this emphatically.
"Don't play with her!"
"Hmm, I won't do anything with Anna that she doesn't want." He smiled at her. "You have my word on that."
"Humph!"
"You are despicable!"

After those 'kind' words, Viktoria left that place in a hurry, feeling her head boiling with anger. But she had no choice but to accept today's defeat since she had no idea how to deal with Lothur.
Due to her overconfidence in her characteristics, she never imagined that she would need to make an effort to control her husband one day. And since she had no feelings for Lothur, she had not even bothered about such matters.
In this way, she had put herself in this vulnerable position, in which she now felt uncomfortable seeing him acting so independently as if she did not matter.
'That bastard!'
'I won't forget that!'
...
The night quickly gave way to day as Lothur finally awoke in his room, satisfied with the magnificent night's rest he had had.
He had slept like a baby after yesterday's training, something he had not yet experienced in this world since his arrival here.
And feeling the pleasurable sensation in his body, something that was making him even more excited about cultivation, he prepared to leave that place for another day at the Morning Star Academy.
Soon after getting something to eat, he headed towards the place from where Annaliese's carriage left every day.
However, instead of finding that beautiful woman waiting for him, as had happened on his first day of class, he was the one who had to wait for her today.
"Old Graf, where is Annaliese?" He asked as he reached the coachman's side.
Seeing the silver-haired young man addressing him, Graf promptly replied to Lothur. "Young master, the second lady should be here by now. But perhaps she will be another five or ten minutes."
This person was one of several servants of the Frost family, one of the few people who did not, at least openly, despise Lothur.
Lothur was able to cultivate cordial relationships with a few servants despite his unfavorable circumstances at this location, where many spoke ill of him and even wished him the worst.
Many were envious or resentful that they did not have the same luck as him, despite having qualities much more helpful than this good-for-nothing. But even in places like this, there were always those who no longer cared so much about the success of others and were able to transcend some worldly desires.
That was particularly true for some more experienced people, like old Graf, who was already in the last years of his mortal life.
Therefore, Lothur's predecessor had not had to live in a place where he was hated and despised by absolutely all people.
Among them, Graf was someone who treated Lothur with relative respect.
"Is that so?" Lothur said in a low voice, just before he sat down inside that red carriage and began to wait for Annaliese while he thought about what to do later.
But it did not take long before a woman with a sulky expression on her face entered that carriage.
"Oh? Anna, I thought you..."
"Don't talk to me!"
"You're a pig, and I don't want you anywhere near me anymore!" She said this angrily as she remembered her conversation with her sister the night before.
