1261 You are not going anywhere darling.
“…”
“Please do not stare at me for so long, Lady Ignatia, I am a man who is loyal to my wives.” Nux spoke with a playful smile on his face.
Ignatia just stared at him with a dumbfounded look on her face. There were a lot of things she wanted to say, but knowing the power dynamics, she knew it was better to remain silent.
“You are still doing it, Lady Ignatia.”
Nux replied. Ignatia’s mouth twitched in annoyance, she then took a deep breath and, “What are your demands?”
“Resources to open the Dragon Trials, Human Trials, Elven Trials, and any 2 other Trials in the future.”
Nux demanded.
“Don’t be crazy, that is an absurd number.”
“Arcy already told me, I am merely asking for 40% of whatever you currently have in your Treasury, I do not believe the number is as absurd as you make it out to be.
Lord Oberon took more than half of Skythorn City’s reserves when he defeated their City Lord.”
“You cannot compare the entire Dragon Continent with a small city. There are many factors that differentiate the two, countless management issues would rise if yo-”
“Lady Ignatia, as I mentioned before, I am not here to discuss politics, my stance is clear, give in to my demands and or face me.
I can also let Arcy Participate in the Tournament you Dragons have arranged to choose the next Dragon Lord, I doubt you would want a puppet as your Leader.”
“This is robbery.”
Ignatia complained.
“That is how a win and a loss works, nothing was supposed to be ‘fair’ since the beginning.
It is a robbery in the name of compensation, and you should already know it, calling it compensation is only done to give you face.”
“…”
Ignatia turned silent.
“When do you want these delivered?”
She questioned as she finally gave in, not that she was left with any other choice.
“You can keep them for now, I’ll collect them whenever I need them,” Nux replied. Ithania’s face twitched at how Nux was using them as vault. It clearly showed how he didn’t see them as a threat anymore.
“Alright.” She nodded.
Nux then brought out the already-prepared contract and presented it to Ithania, “Sign here as the acting Dragon Lord, please,” Nux spoke with a gentle smile on his face.
“Is that even necessary…? These Contracts barely hold any power now…”
It wasn’t wrong, ever since the Ancestral Order had stopped acting, many Contracts have lost their meaning as well.
Not to mention that with Nux’s strength, the situation where he would need the Contract won’t arise either.
“For you, it might not be.
But I have a few people watching all my actions, I have no choice but to proceed legally.” Nux smiled wryly.
He could still sense Aeliana watching him in silence.
Not to mention there was also Caesar and his new Mother…
Ignatia understood the meaning behind his words as well. In the end, she signed the Contract without any form of resistance, Nux grabbed the signed contract with a big smile on his face.
He stood up and just when he was about to leave,
“What did you do to him?”
Ignatia questioned.
“Hmm?” Nux tilted his head in confusion.
“It didn’t matter what kind of man he was, as someone who knows and has spent almost my entire life together with him, I know that he is not the type of man who would let his woman go inside a room together with another man, no matter who it was.
He was extremely possessive to what he considered ‘his’ then… how did someone like him not even bat an eyelid when it happened?”
Nux could see that the woman in front of him was hurt. Honestly, he pitied Ignatia, the woman had been through a lot.
“He is not the man you once knew, Ignatia.
That man is dead. Treat him as if he is someone who merely looks like him.”
Nux spoke as he turned around, ready to leave, then suddenly, he paused and glanced at Ignatia, “You are not safe here.”
Of course, he was talking about the other Dragons who openly opposed Ignatia. With Ignatia agreeing to his demands, they might not remain as loyal as he previously thought.
But then,
“I do not think it is something you should have to worry about.”
Ignatia replied, Nux stared at her for a while, she looked back into his eyes without a change in her expression, her intent was clear.
“I understand.”
Nux nodded as he then walked away, leaving the room.
“…”
Ignatia stared at the door for a while, nobody knew what she was thinking. A few minutes later, she returned to the Hall, taking over the command of the Dragon Continent and setting it back on the track.
…
On the other hand, Nux, who had returned from the Dragon Continent was currently standing in front of the Elven Queen.
A big smile appeared on Nux’s face as he then bowed his head,
“Lady Lyriana, thank you for everything you have done till now. I know it is shameless to say this when I forced you to do what you have done, I still believe I owe you for the gratitude and the open-mindedness you have shown me.”
“It is quite strange if you bow in front of your Slave and call her ‘Lady Lyriana’, Master.” Lyriana chuckled.
“I have already removed the Slave Seal from you, Lady Lyriana. Please do not act like this.” Nux smiled wryly.
He still regretted his past actions, he had to do it for his and his wives security however, no matter what, it was still unfair for the Elves.
“You really did remove it huh…”
Lyriana muttered, there was a strange look on her face.
Like the Succubi and Catkins, the Elves had already returned to their land, the same was true for her Divine Stage Subordinates, all of them left after the Slave Seal was removed, Lyriana and her daughter were the only ones left.
“I will be staying here.”
Suddenly, Lyriana spoke up.
“What…?” Nux was surprised.
“Don’t think too much, I am not staying here for you, but your wives. Unlike you, all of them are adorable people you can’t help but want to spend time with. Especially Evane, I can’t believe how that adorable girl got stuck with someone like you.”
“Hey Hey, I worked hard for that, alright? I even learned how to draw just for that.”
“That is your misunderstanding, you didn’t learn anything. You sucked at drawing, Evane told me that.”
“As if she would say anything like that.”
Nux had complete confidence in her woman.
“…tch.”
Lyriana snorted.
“And you are welcome to stay here, Lady Lyriana. I would never complain about being satisfied by beautiful women.” Nux chuckled.
“Don’t even think about what you are thinking.” Lyriana warned.
“Sure,”
Nux replied, looking right into the Elven Queen’s eyes. Lyriana narrowed her eyes, but not wanting to talk with him any longer, she turned around but just as she was about to leave, “Ah right, I forgot.
What about your Daughter, would she be staying here with you?”
The moment she heard those words, Lyriana instantly turned around and snorted, “That Allura isn’t letting her leave, so she will be staying here for a while, I am warning you again,
Stay away from my daughter.”
The Elven Queen warned.
“Sure.”
Nux replied with the same smile on his face.
“Yo-”
Lyriana wanted to talk more, but suddenly, the doors of the room opened up and, “Nux-”
Rune walked in, pausing when she noticed Lyriana was inside.
“I apologize, I would come at a later time.”
The Catkin replied, ready to leave, but,
“Oh, it is alright, we are done talking, Lady Lyriana was about to leave, It is not like we have some affair or sorts, hahaha, right, Lady Lyriana?”
Lyriana’s mouth twitched as she nodded, “That’s correct, Rune. I am about to leave, so please stay.”
The Elven Queen left, not forgetting to glare at Nux before leaving.
Nux just chuckled.
“The two of you are quite close,” Rune commented. After all, from her perspective, Lyriana has always been there to protect him, even going out of the line to do so.
“What can I say, I am too charming.” Nux chuckled, then, he looked into Rune’s eyes and with a playful smile on his face, “Won’t you agree?”
“…”
Rune didn’t say anything and just stared at the man with her usual emotionless look on her face.
“What is it?” Nux questioned.
“I still cannot believe a pervert like you was able to defeat the Dragon Lord,” Rune commented.
“You are underestimating me, eh?”
“Not that, I always knew that you were a monster but…”
Rune had no words. Nux smiled, enjoying the attention he was receiving.
“Anyways, I came here to tell you that all my people have returned to the Feline Cat City.”
“Well, that’s good.” Nux nodded.
“I will be going as well,” Rune replied but suddenly, Nux standing in front of her disappeared, she frowned, then as she turned around, she saw him standing on the door, “You are not going anywhere darling,
I will be keeping you here with me for a long time.”
Nux spoke with a big smile on his face.
With all the nuisance gone, he could finally focus on his main goal.
