The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1610

When the king of the tribe sentenced Kurt's aunt to death back then, his grandparents hiredsomeone to investigate what had happened in their state of panic. It was then that they found outthat she had sent her two kids away overnight. Because of that, the high priest accused the two kidsof bringing bad luck to the tribe.

Although Kurt's grandparents really wanted to save her, there was nothing much they could dowithin the strictly hierarchical tribe. As such, they decided to try and rescue her children instead.They figured it would at least provide his aunt with some form of consolation while she awaited herexecution.

However, they could not seem to replace them no matter where they looked.

The tribe tortured his aunt for years while searching for her kids, but they were unable to locatethem. Eventually, the wicked king had the worst idea possible—to have his mother bear thepunishment of her sister's crime. He forced himself on her, and that was how Kurt came to be.

As if that was not bad enough, the high priest accused him of bringing bad luck to the tribe whenhe turned ten. He suffered the same fate as his cousins. Had Karl not arrived in time, he would havedied there.

In the dark, Kurt wore a scornful smile on his face and said, “That's not true. He only has that facebecause that woman used some kind of drug,”

“Drug?”

Upon hearing that, Vivian was so shocked that she stopped crying instantly and stared wide-eyed athim.

What? I didn't know it was possible to alter a person's appearance through the use of drugs!

The young man nodded. “She consumed a specially concocted formula when she was pregnant.According to modern-day science, it's a type of drug that alters genes.”

“Seriously? Something this powerful actually exists?” she exclaimed in surprise.

A person's appearance depends entirely on their parents genes, but Kurt said that woman was able tomake Prince Jason look exactly like Brother Cal by altering his genes with drugs... This is unbelievable...Even with how advanced technology is these days, I don't think a drug like this has been invented yet!"Yeah, so you need to be more careful next time. Don't go off on your own,” Kurt exhorted,frowning.

Naturally, he would not tell her that the woman from earlier was actually a former high priest inElysium and that the drug she used was no legitimate stuff either. Due to Elysium's mysterious andisolated nature, there were many nasty things in the tribe that the world did not know of.

The two of them returned to the villa that night.

After sending her to her bedroom, Kurt was about to leave when she pleaded, “Kurt, could you leavethe door open? I'm still a little scared... A-At least wait till I'm asleep before closing it?”

Vivian was so embarrassed that her face was burning bright red when she said that, and she couldnot even bring herself to look at him.

Of course, Kurt was not about to say no to her request, especially when she was asking him soearnestly.

His ears, too, turned scarlet as he lowered his head to look at her. Watching her averting her eyesfrom him, he almost told her to go to sleep and that he would watch over her in the room, but hisshyness caused him to swallow those words.

In the end, he stood by the door until Vivian fell asleep.

It was not until he heard the sounds of her steady breathing that he quietly entered the room.Moonlight pouring in through the window illuminated the room as he sat down in a chair andwatched her while she slept peacefully.

The sun was high up in the sky by the time Vivian woke up the next day, but Kurt was nowhere insight.

Where's Kurt?

As she glanced about the room and noticed the chair that had been returned to its original position,she jumped off the bed with a start.

“Kurt? Kurt?”

"Ah, you're awake?”

Kurt's voice, which had yet to deepen fully, sounded particularly pleasant to the ears.

Feeling relieved, Vivian bolted downstairs in her pajamas and ran toward the young man who wasbusy making breakfast in the dining room.

“I thought you left.”

“Nope. From now on, I'll drop you off at school before I head over to the university,” Kurt replied ashe turned toward her.

However, the sight of her milky white skin and curvaceous figure beneath her thin pajamas causedhim to retract his gaze immediately.

A slight blush formed on his face as he lowered his head, but Vivian did not notice it as she wasoverjoyed after hearing him offer to send her to school every day.

“Really? That's great! Here, these are the keys to my car!” she exclaimed excitedly while handing himthe car keys, only to pout in disappointment when she remembered that he could not drive. “Oh,wait... You can't drive since you're not eighteen yet... Then, I'll have my driver pick us up instead!”Kurt did not say anything in response, but he had a smile on his lips the entire time.

The duo headed out half an hour later, and Vivian stood by the gate until the car disappeared fromher sight before skipping into the campus.

"Vivi, you're here.”

“Hey, Sonia!” Vivian chirped, her mood brightening further when she saw her best friend.

Yet, Sonia's expression turned solemn after she greeted Vivian.q
