“Hmph! You still dare to feign ignorance after staying with Nux for 8 straight hours? Have some shame.”
Thyra snorted.
“8 Hours?” Amaya frowned.
“Still acting?” Thyra raised her eyebrow.
“No wait…” Ember, however, frowned.
“Edda is right, how are you still walking?”
She questioned and then answered to herself,
“This could only mean one thing, you two did not have sex for 8 hours, did you?”
“Of course not. As much as I want to do that, I know that I would pass out a lot sooner.”
Amaya shook her head.
“Indeed, 8 hours is too much, even for me.”
Edda nodded to herself.
“What were you doing inside then?”
Thyra questioned.
“Where is Nux?”
Evane questioned.
“Well, he…”
Amaya didn’t know how to answer, therefore, she just opened the door.
The women peeked into the room and,
“That’s… Nux?”
Ember frowned.
“I have seen this before.”
Thyra spoke with a serious look on her face.
“Don’t worry, it is not dangerous. On the contrary, it is good for him.”
“How long has he been like this?” Felberta questioned.
“6 hours.”
Amaya answered.
“How is that safe!?”
Thyra shouted.
“I told you, it’s safe. He is in control. Just treat it as if he is cultivating and don’t disturb him.” Amaya explained.
“Heh, Nux cultivating… feels strange.”
Felberta commented.
“Indeed.”
Lane, who is usually silent nodded as well.
“It’s because we can’t help him anymore.”
Thyra spoke.
Ember’s face turned solemn as well.
“We should cultivate as well.”
Felberta suggested.
“Indeed.”
The women nodded to each other and returned to their rooms.
Except for Amaya…
She just walked back into the room where Nux was cultivating.
“What are you doing?”
However, just as she was about to close the door, Thyra appeared in front of her and questioned with a doubtful look on her face.
“Nothing, I just want to cultivate.”
“But why in his room?”
“It is my room.”
Amaya replied.
Thyra narrowed her eyes, “He is inside, so it is his room for now. You can use his room.”
“I want to stay in the same room as him,” Amaya answered.
“You are not special.” Thyra narrowed her eyes.
“I know, I am just here because it would help me.” Amaya, of course, had an answer.
“What do you mean?”
“You see that Mist? I feel like I can get stronger if I observe it, it is different from the normal Mist.”
And to show that she wasn’t lying, Amaya raised her hand, and Devouring Mist seeped out of her hand.
Thyra looked at the two Mist and turned silent.
She then glanced at Amaya’s face for a while and,
“You are lucky.”
Saying that, she turned around.
She sensed it, Amaya wasn’t lying, and the Mist surrounding Nux was different.
It felt… much more threatening.
Thyra didn’t know much about this, therefore, she decided to step back.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Amaya’s face.
She closed the doors and walked near Nux.
Sitting cross-legged right in front of him, she focused and soon, started comprehending the Mist surrounding Nux.
Others started their respective cultivations as well and the entire mansion turned oddly silent.
…
“You can come in, teacher.”
The next day, Nux, who finally opened his eyes sensed his teacher standing in front of his room.
A second later, Arvina walked into his room.
“Lovely evening to you, teacher.”
Nux smiled.
Arvina smiled, her eyes then fell on Amaya, who was sleeping on Nux’s bed with a smile on her face.
“I can’t believe I am seeing this expression on her face. She usually had an expressionless mask on her face back in the Royal Palace.”
Arvina couldn’t help but comment.
“Mhm, I saw that expression as well, it had its own charm, to be honest, however, this smile suits best on her beautiful face the best.”
Nux smiled as he glanced at Amaya who was sleeping without the care of the world.
“I guess she is relieved because she doesn’t have to return to the Palace anymore,” Arvina spoke.
“She will return soon.” Nux, however, shook his head.
Arvina frowned.
“As the Queen of course.”
“You are ready to become the King, aren’t you?” Arvina smiled.
“No, I am not.” Nux shook his head, then with a smile on his face, he explained.
“The plans have changed, I do not wish to become the King anymore. I just want to stay with my wives and enjoy my time with them.
Plus, I don’t really wish to go against that monstrous teacher of yours.”
Hearing him say that, a smile appeared on Arvina’s face,
“So she is finally out huh?”
“Indeed.”
Nux nodded.
“So? Did you meet her?” Arvina questioned with a playful smile on her face.
Nux sighed helplessly, “Meet? She even gave me a gift.”
“A Gift? What Gift?” Arvina frowned.
“She broke my legs.”
“…”
Arvina raised her eyebrows.
Nux then told her what happened and after hearing all that, Arvina sighed,
“You are lucky she didn’t kill you.”
“Well, I did what you told me to. I won her interest, and with Evane backing me up properly, I survived. It may not look like it, but I thought about it for a long long time before deciding to meet her.”
“And what would you have done if she had insisted on killing you there?”
Arvina narrowed her eyes and questioned.
“I would have run away, of course. Though that would have affected our future plans badly.”
“And how exactly do you plan to run away from an Emperor?”
Arvina questioned.
“I have my ways.” Nux smiled.
“…” Arvina didn’t know what to say.
“Oh right, teacher.”
Nux called out.
“Yes?”
“I am planning to meet her again, what do you think I should give her as a meeting gift?”
Arvina couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
“Do you not value your life anymore?”
“It will be more suspicious if I don’t meet her now. Also, this time, I am planning to be honest with her. So I believe she won’t hurt me.
I don’t wish to become the King any longer, remember?
I am not her enemy.
I am just a person who supports her granddaughter.”
“…”
Arvina didn’t know if she should be impressed or ashamed of her student’s shamelessness.
“C’mon teacher, give me some tips, will you? How do you think I should deal with Lady Astaria?”
“Haahh…”
Arvina sighed.
This would be a long discussion.
