*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
“Who is it?” After Nux left, Allura heard a knock and questioned.
“It is me, Lady Allura”
“Enter”
Then Allura’s protector entered the room and she questioned.
“What is it?”
“I wanted to ask what plans you have for today, Lady Allura.” The protector questioned.
However, before she could answer, the protector furrowed his brows,
“Lady Allura, why are there two sets of plates on your table?”
Allura was shocked when she noticed the plates, however, she didn’t show any change in her expression.
Meeting Nux was her little secret.
She couldn’t tell anyone else about it because she was sure they would misunderstand.
“Nothing, I just wanted to check if the food tasted different if we keep it on two different plates,” Allura answered whatever came into her mind.
“…” Her protector looked at her weirdly, however, he didn’t say anything.
‘Just how bored one has to be to try something like this…’
However, no one was stopping the protector from thinking and judging inwardly.
The protector then shook his head to get rid of these thoughts and then questioned.
“So back to the topic, what are your plans for today, Lady Allura?”
He completely ignored the plate incident.
He felt like it was better to do so.
Allura sighed in relief when her protector didn’t question much. Of course, nobody knew what face she would make if she knew his inner thoughts.
“Let’s return to the palace.”
She muttered.
“W-What?”
“Is there a problem?” Allura frowned.
“Ah, no! Lady Allura, there are no problems at all, I shall prepare everything.” The protector bowed and left the room in surprise.
“What’s with that look on your face, Bruce?” The other protector questioned when he noticed the surprised look on Bruce, the protector’s face.
“Lady Allura wants to return…” Bruce answered.
“What? Why?”
“I do not know… I am surprised myself.”
“This has never happened before… she just came here, stayed in a room and now she wants to return? She didn’t tease anyone, she didn’t observe anyone, she didn’t buy out a stall just to see the owner’s reaction, why the hell is she returning so quickly?”
“Who knows?”
“Is she sick?”
“Why would she leave the Palace if she was sick?”
“You have a point.”
The two protectors started thinking.
Although Allura was pretty unpredictable and does things randomly to entertain herself, she wasn’t completely unpredictable either.
Therefore, her protectors, who have been protecting her for years now know a lot about her habits.
They were sure that Lady Allura was acting weird.
“Well whatever, isn’t it better for us anyway?” Bruce muttered.
“That’s true, maybe Lady Allura is maturing…”
“She’s not a child, you know?”
“Ugh, whatever, just go and prepare the carriage, I will stay here.”
“Alright.”
…
Night, inside Alger’s room, a similar, no, a very scene was repeating itself.
“…”
“…”
Thyra and Alger started at each other.
“I am ready, I am ready, you can go ahead and beat me.”
However, Alger was too familiar with where this will go, therefore, he prepared himself for what was about to come and raised his hand in surrender.
No use going through the same script again and again and again.
You might go ahead and hit him.
At least he is mentally prepared for it right now.
“Did Nux order you to call me here?” Thyra questioned.
However, Alger didn’t fail to notice that her tone was a lot calmer than yesterday, not only that, rather than calling Master Nux ‘that bastard’ she called him by his name.
A small smile appeared on Alger’s face.
Of course, he was not thinking anything weird.
The poor man just wanted to survive without being beaten.
And he saw an opportunity to do that.
“Y-Yes, Of course, it was Master Nux who told me to call you.” Alger nodded with the friendliest smile possible.
Actually, Thyra wanted to hit him just because of that weird smile of his, however, she controlled herself.
She was not a brute delinquent.
“So? What does he want today?” She questioned and as soon as she did, the smile on Alger’s face disappeared.
He had forgotten, there was no way he could save himself from the beating today.
Master Nux didn’t leave him any chance to.
Alger gulped as he remembered that question, he did not want to ask that question at all, however, he was helpless. He couldn’t do anything about it at all.
Alger closed his eyes, his face paled and he questioned.
“H-Have you learned anything from your spar with Master Nux today? Have you profited in any way?”
“…”
Thyra stayed silent.
Since she didn’t say anything, Alger knew she was pissed and opened his left eye to check her reaction.
His body trembled when he noticed that she was just standing there with her head down and her hair were covering her eyes.
“Pfft”
Suddenly, a laugh escaped out of Thyra’s mouth.
‘Huh?’ Alger opened his eyes as he glanced at Thyra in confusion.
“Hahahaha~” Thyra then started laughing out loud.
“He really couldn’t find a better topic, could he? Hahaha~” Alger’s room was filled with Thyra’s surprisingly sweet laughter.
‘Has she gone crazy? Am I about to die?’ Alger thought inwardly.
“Don’t worry, I know it’s not your fault, you are just following orders. Alright, I will take my leave now.” Although she had covered her face with a mask, Alger was sure that she was smiling right now.
Thyra then left the room and smiled.
‘Hmph! What an exhibitionist!’ Thyra snorted.
‘But this time, I will pass through that room without peeking! I will not peek at all!’ Thyra nodded to herself with her eyes filled with determination.
She then started walking, the closer she walked to Nux’s room, the faster her heart started beating.
‘I do not hear anything! I do not hear anything! I do not hear anything! I do not hear anything! I do not hear anything!’
She continued to convince herself as she walked, however, soon, she noticed something.
‘I do not hear anything…’
She frowned.
Was her convincing power too good?
She walked closer to Nux’s room and,
“…”
Still no sound, no moaning.
‘What happened?’
Thyra thought curiously.
In the end, Thyra couldn’t control herself anymore and walked toward Nux’s room.
She arrived at the door, crouched and then slightly opened the door like she always does.
However, She was surprised to see that the room was empty.
‘Hmm?’
She frowned but before she could think too much,
A hand covered mouth as someone grabbed her from behind and carried her into the room.
