It is time to escape the bindings of Fate, Lyriana.
“Anyways, you two should leave,
I have things I need to discuss with Queen Lyriana.”
“What things?” Ariana was curious.
Nux however, just waved his hand and,
“It isn’t something children should know.”
As he said those words, Ariana and Elijah’s bodies started floating again as they were kicked out of the room, leaving only Nux, his wives, and Lyriana inside.
Yes, even the hidden guards that were keeping an eye on everything were kicked out and despite being strong Divine Stage Cultivators, there was nothing they could do to resist.
Nux then used Dark Amethyst to seal the room, making sure no one entered or heard their conversation. Seeing his
actions, Lyriana raised her eyebrow,
“What are you doing?”
She questioned.
“You are coming with me.”
Nux was direct.
“Huh?”
The Elven Queen frowned.
What? Where? When? Why? How?
There were simply too many questions in
her mind, however,
“I said you are coming with me.”
Nux didn’t seem like he was even trying to
answer her questions.
“What are you talking about? Why would I
come with you?”
“Because I want you to.”
“I am not your Slave anymore, Nux
Leander,” Lyriana answered in her usual
cold tone.
“This is why I am here to bring you with me
instead of ordering you to come to me directly.”
“What makes you think I will follow you?”
“Well, your daughter now has Elijah and
since she is a Complete Saint, she is more than capable of taking care of the
Kingdom.”
“That doesn’t change anything.”
“It does.”

…
Lyriana frowned, then, with a smile on his
face, Nux continued,
“It frees you, Lyriana Frostwillow.”
“What…?”
“Aren’t you bored?”
Suddenly, Nux asked a question.
“Bored…?”
“The Elven Kingdom is now the strongest
and others may not know about it, but you still have the Divine Stage Dragons Slaves who once served Arcturus.
So even if it may not look like it, in truth, the Elven Kingdom is more than capable of defending itself from any threats.
It is actually a threat to others now.
But,
That’s it.
There is nothing more you can achieve here, Lyriana.
If you are thinking about uniting Yrniel
under one banner, that’s a fool’s dream, you know it won’t happen.
The Ancestral Order is much much stronger than you think, they would never
allow this to happen.”
“What are you trying to say?”
Lyriana was confused.
“What I am saying is that I will bring you to
a bigger, much more entertaining stage.
A stage where you won’t have to hold back
anymore.”
“Are you trying to make fun of me?”
Lyriana questioned as she looked into Nux’s eyes with a solemn look on her face.
“I am no-”
“The Outer Space.”
Lyriana interrupted him.
“That is where you wish to take me,
correct?”
“Yes.”
Nux nodded.
He wasn’t surprised that Lyriana guessed
it, rather, his smile just widened even further when what he expected came true.
“I am an Incomplete Divine Stage Cultivator with a weak Law of Self, even
your wives, who were once weaker than me have all surpassed me.
Take me to a grander stage?
A stage where I do not have to hold back?
Do
you think I am in any position to hold
back?
Do you think I would be able to take on any enemy there even if I give my all?
Or do you just want to see me make a joke
out of myself and enjoy the show?” Lyriana’s words were harsh.
Even Nux’s wives were taken aback by her
sudden outburst.
After all, Lyriana wasn’t the type to let her
emotions get the best of her, she was always cold and calculative. Even when Nux tricked her into becoming his slave, she didn’t let her emotions get the best of her and only accepted her defeat. So for her to react so aggressively without
even listening to what Nux was trying to
say…
None of the wives could understand it.
Nux however, was different. Just like others, he had seen Lyriana live
and die many times. He had observed her
so much that he probably knew the woman more than she did herself.
Lyriana’s true nature, it may be hidden
from the rest of the world, but not from
Nux.
Lyriana was a power-hungry maniac, a conqueror.
The Elf loved, no, she craved more and more power. She craved excellence.
People often forget this since she is only an
Incomplete Cultivator, but Lyriana was considered to be one of the strongest Divine Stage Cultivators in Yrniel. She was
strong enough to be compared with the Dragon Lord and the Vampire King, something that wasn’t possible for other elves, but Lyriana was an exception.
Because of her hunger for power and
excellence, she broke the limitation of her own race, becoming much stronger than what a normal incomplete divine stage elf would become.
She was different from all.
She was the first woman to notice that Nux
uses energy other than Mana, that was how deeply she had used and analysed whatever ‘tools’ she had.
Unfortunately, luck was never on the Elven Queen’s side, first, she was forced to become an Incomplete Cultivator so she could later take over the throne of the
Elven Kingdom.
Then, because she craved power, she
directly jumped to the Divine Stage, not knowing that she was making the mistake of not forming a Law because she didn’t have this knowledge beforehand. Sure, she did manage to become one of the youngest Divine Stage Cultivators Yrniel
had seen, but… without a Law, it was all useless.
Lyriana’s potential was crippled. Sure, she could go against beings like the
Dragon Lord and Vampire King, but in her heart… she knew she was weak.
She knew that the stage she was playing at was only a small pond where the appearance of even a single bigger fish would destroy everything. She knew that in the grand scheme of
things, she was nothing. But in the end, she still accepted all that.
Or at least that’s what she thought…
But…
Nux knew that the Elven Queen’s heart never accepted it.
Lyriana Frostwillow craved excellence,
She never wanted to settle for less.
It was just fate that things turned out to be the way they did, her bad luck,
However,
“It is time to escape the bindings of Fate,
Lyriana.”.
