Early in the morning, in Royal Concubine Amaya’s room, a figure covered in a black veil of mist was sitting cross-legged on Amaya’s bed.
The black mist looked scary as it moved around the figure’s body however, soon, its intensity started fading away.
5 minutes later, the Black Mist faded away and Amaya’s body was finally visible.
A few seconds later, Amaya opened her black eyes and her eyes widened when she saw a very familiar man sitting on a chair in front of her.
“Hmm, that Mist looks scary indeed,” Nux muttered with a smile on his face.
Amaya looked around and saw Kelton lying on the floor near the sofa. She then shook her head and questioned.
“Why did you hit him again? He wasn’t even in the room.” Amaya questioned.
“Well, he was knocking on the door, I thought he would disturb you so I knocked him out.” Nux chuckled.
Kelton had a poor fate indeed.
“You have some enmity with him, don’t you?” Amaya guessed.
“Trust me, I do not,” Nux answered honestly.
“I pity your opponents,” Amaya muttered.
Nux chuckled, however, soon, his expression turned solemn,
“Do you trust him?”
He questioned as he pointed at Kelton.
Amaya glanced at Kelton’s body and after thinking for a while, she nodded.
“I do.”
“How much?”
“99%”
Amaya answered.
She trusted Kelton, however, she did not trust him enough to talk to her about her physique.
Of course, she wouldn’t be surprised if Kelton already knew about it from that woman, however, there is no way she would tell him that she found a suitable technique for herself.
That is the reason why she only cultivates at night when Kelton is not around.
“You contradict yourself.” Suddenly, Nux muttered.
“What do you mean?” Amaya frowned.
“You say that you trust him, however, when I ask you how much, your answer isn’t 100%. That’s a contradiction.”
Amaya, however, had different thoughts.
“That is not a contradiction.”
Then, her eyes shined and she answered,
“You can never completely and blindly trust a human heart.”
“99% is already a very high number.”
“…”
Nux glanced at her and then, he proposed.
“What if I say that I have something that can ensure that he will never betray or harm you?”
“…”
Amaya stayed silent and started thinking about it, a few seconds later, she questioned.
“What is it?”
“It will be a little painful, however, after using it, you can trust him with your eyes closed,” Nux muttered.
“…” Amaya turned silent again.
She then glanced at Kelton’s body and started thinking more.
This time, she took a whole minute to think about it and then, she shook her head.
“Leave it, he has done a lot for me since I was a child, I won’t let him suffer through any pain just because of my insecurities.
I am not that selfish.”
A small smile appeared on Nux’s face.
He respected her for this answer.
She would rather reduce her cultivation time by half than harm her subordinate.
Mind you, she is someone who sold her life for cultivation, so something like this is a big sacrifice on her part.
Nux then nodded inwardly, however, he then realized that the atmosphere in the room was a little too boring for him and he decided to spice things up,
“So what about me? How much do you trust me?”
He didn’t even ask if she trusts him or not, he is her man after all.
Of course, she trusts him.
The main question is how much.
“1%”
“O-One?”
“Yes, and that too is just a graceful mark because you gave me Mantra of the Devouring Mist Demon.”
“So you really don’t trust me at all, huh?” Nux muttered.
“Not one bit, you are too handsome. You have the balls to touch the King’s wife. You can enter my room unnoticed. Plus, the way you talk, it feels like you are a playboy who has played with many women’s hearts.
There is no way I would trust someone like you.” Amaya shook her head.
Nux’s face twitched when he heard her answer.
“Tsk Tsk, to think you won’t trust your future man. Hmph Hmph!”
Amaya glanced at Nux and questioned.
“Why are you here though?”
Nux look at her blankly and blinked a few times.
Really?
Even if you want to change the topic, can’t you make it less obvious?
Tsk Tsk,
However, soon, a small smile appeared on Nux’s face.
She decided to change the topic, she didn’t deny his words.
That’s a good thing.
Nux nodded to himself.
Yes, he was a man who says that the glass is half filled.
“Why are you here?” While he was lost in his thoughts, Amaya questioned again.
“Why shouldn’t I be here?” Nux came out of his reverie and questioned back.
“Shouldn’t you be preparing for the academy?”
“Well, Alger is doing everything.” Nux shrugged.
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Amaya just shook her head.
“When will you leave? Today or tomorrow?” She questioned.
If a Marquee is doing the arrangement, it shouldn’t be a problem for Nux to enter the same day he decided to enter, there was no need for any long process and unnecessary waiting.
“1 month later.”
Nux answered.
A frown appeared on Amaya’s face as she questioned,
“Why are you wasting so much time?”
“Huh? Won’t you miss me if I go to the academy so soon?” Nux questioned back.
Amaya was taken aback by his response.
A weird feeling welled up in her heart, for some reason, she was…
Happy?
Amaya however, quickly shook her head and suppressed this strange feeling,
“No, I won’t miss you at all.”
Nux’s face twitched again.
It was really hard to flirt with this woman.
He, however, did not give up.
“That’s the reason I am not going.”
“Huh?”
“You won’t miss me, so what’s the point of leaving?
I plan to spend a month and get close to you, then once we get close to each other, I will leave,
That way, you will miss me and you will be forced to take back your words in order to see me.
That’s my plan.”
