“We may fight against each other, but we cannot hate each other,”
Skyla answered.
This was one of those rare moments when she was actually serious and wasn’t just playing around.
“…”
Evane turned silent and started thinking about Skyla’s answer.
A while later, she asked another question.
“You can’t hate against each other, I understand.
You can’t wish to have Nux all to yourself, I understand that as well.
But what about defending Nux? What about restricting him? Why not stop him from getting together with more women? Why don’t you try and avoid me? Why don’t you show your rejection towards me?
Why are you so good to me? Why call me ‘Sister’?”
Evane still couldn’t understand.
“As I said before, I won’t do anything that would hurt Nux. Restricting him is impossible. With his charms, no matter where he goes, he will attract women.
Also, believe it or not, this ‘restriction’ you are talking about.
Nux has placed several on himself.
He may act like a pervert who is attracted to any woman he finds, however, he will not go after a woman just because of her beauty.
If that was the case, then Sister Felberta’s friends, his new ‘friends’ he made in this academy, and even Candice,
He would have gone after every one of them.
Trust me, it is not that hard for him.
I shouldn’t be saying this, but all he has to do is push a woman to a wall and most would accept him.
With his looks, talents, and strength, something like this is not difficult at all.
However, since he genuinely cares about all of us and wants to spend more time with us, he tried to limit himself.”
This was something Nux has never talked about or discussed with anyone before. However, after being with him for so long, his women understood this on their own.
Nux may seem like a pervert on the outside, but inwardly, he truly loved all his women and genuinely cared about them.
Thinking about all this, a beautiful smile appeared on Skyla’s face.
Then, she glanced at Evane and continued,
“Of course, there are certain women,
Women who even he cannot resist.
You are one of those.
You are someone who won his heart even though he was trying not to lose. You are someone who forced him to break his restrictions.
He won’t chase after a woman that easily, he will chase after a woman after a long fight in his heart and since he is already doing so much while thinking about his relationship with us, we see no need to place any restrictions on him.
He is already a perfect husband for us, after all.”
Skyla’s eyes shined beautifully.
Even Evane was taken aback by that smile on her face.
She seemed… genuinely happy.
Very happy.
However,
“Still… don’t you…
Don’t you want to be even more… selfish…?”
The matters regarding the heart were complicated.
These feelings… they were complicated…
Hearing Skyla’s words, Ember may not want to restrict Nux anymore, however,
She still wanted to be his first woman…
She wanted to be someone who took all his firsts.
His first kiss, his first midnight cuddles, his first time, she wanted all of them.
However, knowing that someone has already taken them made her feel…
Sour…
“I can’t blame you.”
Suddenly, Skyla spoke.
“Hmm?”
“In the end, no matter what,
You are the Princess of the Strongest Kingdom in this world.”
“…what does that have to do with anything.”
“It does. A lot, actually.
What do you think a homeless man desires?”
“Huh?”
Evane frowned.
She couldn’t understand how that jumped into their conversation.
“He would desire to live like a normal, common man. A small house, food to eat, that would be enough.
Now answer this, a simple commoner, who has everything that the Homeless man desires, is he satisfied?
The answer is no he is not.
The commoner isn’t satisfied. He desires to live a life where he has a loving family, a life where he spends all his time with his children, and a loving wife.
Just like this, a man who has this all would desire money. Money with which he can buy things that would make him and his family happy.
A man who has this all would desire even more money. The man with lots of money would then desire power, he would desire to become a noble. A Baron would desire to be a Viscount, a Viscount would desire to be a Marquee, a Marquee would desire to be a Duke, and the Duke would desire to be the King.
Even the King, the King would desire to rule the whole world.
Everyone would desire different things and the desire gets higher and higher the better your position is.
A homeless person wouldn’t even dream of a partner.
I, a normal maid, only desired a normal, loving partner. Thoughts about me having him all to myself didn’t even appear in my want. I was fine as long as the man is not abusive, and is sane. I had very low standards.
You, on the other hand, are the Princess,
Your desires and the standards you have set up for your future partner are too high. So high that a man like that might not even exist.
And of course, it is not your fault. If I was in your place, I would have probably done the same.”
Skyla patted Evane’s shoulder.
However, Evane narrowed her eyes,
“So you are saying… that Nux is not up to the standards I have set in my mind?”
“Trust me, Nux is incomparably better than whatever standards you have set in your mind.”
Skyla was quick to deny.
There was even a rare, disdainful look on her face right now.
It was as if she wanted to say,
‘Nux doesn’t meet your standards? Who do you think you are, bitch?’
Of course, our cute Skyla wouldn’t say those words out loud.
“I do not understand… What are you trying to say… first you say my standards are high, then you say that Nux surpasses my standards…
Why are you making things more confusing than they already are?”
