Become mine, Lyriana Frostwillow.
“It is time to escape the bindings of Fate, Lyriana,”
Nux spoke and suddenly, Lyriana turned silent.
With her outburst over, she stared at Nux, waiting for him to continue what he was saying. That was how desperate she was, despite knowing perfectly well that what Nux said was no different than a joke, an impossibility, she still had a sliver of hope.
Hope that she might actually get a second chance.
Hope that she might actually be able to stand in front of the big fishes.
“I will not lie, I still do not know how am I going to help you.”
Nux’s starting words weren’t positive, his eyes, however, told a different story.
“What I intend to do breaks a few rules the Universe has set, it is not something that can be done easily, however,
It is not like I haven’t done it before.
If I need to break rules, I will do just that.”
Nux declared confidently.
Then, he extended his hands towards the
Elven Queen and,
“You just have to follow me.”
He didn’t clarify his intentions yet.
Lyriana was different from Eisheth, unlike the Succubus Queen, who would listen to her body and eventually give in and do what her heart desires, the Elven Queen was much stronger emotionally.
If she felt it was wrong, she would never give in.
She could even be compared to Arvina Skyfall to some extent, if it was a normal situation, Lyriana’s fate would have been similar to Arvina’s. However, there was one big difference between the two situations.
Nux.
The previous Nux might have respected Arvina’s wishes and left her alone,
The greedy, selfish, possessive Nux won’t do that.
Lyriana Frostwillow would become his eventually, and to achieve that, he would
use any means possible, even the knowledge that he has from the Illusion, knowledge that he normally shouldn’t
know.
“Why go this far for my sake?”
Lyriana questioned as she stared at Nux.
“I need a capable subordinate.”
Nux’s answer was quick.
His expression was firm, even the most
experienced negotiator wouldn’t be able to find out that it was a lie. After all, Nux had a million years to learn how to lie.
He was nigh perfect.
“A capable subordinate? Then why me?
There would be better options, no?
You even have Arcturus as your Slave, not
to mention you must have met more capable people in the Ancestral Order, did you not?”
Lyriana had many doubts, Nux however,
just laughed out loud and then turned around,
“Well, I guess if you believe that Arcturus
or someone else would do better than you if I give them a second chance, then it just shows you don’t believe in yourself and since even you yourself don’t believe yourself,
Maybe I was a fool to put my trust in you.
It was my mistake.
I take back my words, Lyriana.
You can stay here and rule the Elven
Kingdom, I am sure that with your
capability and the power you have, you would be able to bring the Kingdom to a
level never seen before.
Gather all the people you want me to help, me and
my wives will be resting in the guest room, summon us when you are done and once I help your subordinate, you can use them to overpower all other
powers.
I wish you luck.”
Nux raised his hand as a goodbye and he then started walking away.
Seeing Lyriana frozen, not making a move,
the wives frowned, Lane on the other hand, simply entered Nux’s shadow, not caring about anything else, Amaya was the same, she quickly followed Nux and seeing that, the rest of the wives followed.
Evane waited and stared at Lyriana for a while, she didn’t have much relationship with the Queen, but in the end, she did let her take the trail and helped her in whatever way she could. She even gave her
a few of the techniques that she uses to this day.
Therefore, Evane wanted to help the Elven
Queen, however, Ember was quick to grab her hand and walk away.
It was Lyriana’s own decision, they
shouldn’t interfere.
And it was good that they didn’t,
“What about my daughter?”
Before Nux could leave, Lyriana questioned.
Nux paused as he then turned around,
“If I leave with you, what will happen to my daughter?”
“What else? She would become the new
Queen and manage the Kingdom in your
stead.”
“She is too immature for that.”
Lyriana’s answer was quick and she wasn’t
like.
Ariana wasn’t Rislith.
Yes, she was stronger than the Succubus,
after all, unlike Rislith, Ariana was a Complete Cultivator, however, when it came to managing the Kingdom, Politics, War, and Personal Relationships, Rislith was far better compared to most people
her age.
Heck, the Succubus could even rival the most experienced rulers, she wasn’t called a genius without a reason.
Ariana on the other hand, was blessed with great cultivation talent, she spent her entire life cultivating, the current her
wasn’t even capable of thinking about sitting on the throne let alone staking it for herself.
She was a child for Lord’s sake.
“Then prepare her.
You cannot have everything you desire, Lyriana.
You have strong subordinates, a daughter who is willing to learn, a messy Mana making cultivating impossible, so you could spend a lot of time training your daughter.
It is a perfect opportunity to teach your daughter.”
“Can we not… take her with us?”
The Queen still didn’t wish to be separated
from her daughter.
“We cannot. She wouldn’t be able to survive.”
“Not even if you help her?”
“Do you think her mental fortitude is as
strong as yours?”
“But she is a genius, her cultivation talent
isn’t or-”
“Cultivation talent isn’t important, honestly, her talent isn’t actually that great
either, you just feel like it because that’s the highest threshold, compared to the true geniuses in the Order,
She is quite lacking. But what she is lacking more than talent is
conviction,
Something that you do not lack one bit,
Something that I am looking for the most in my subordinates.
So stop thinking about all these things and become mine, Lyriana Frostwillow.” .
