“I heard that you greeted my wife quite warmly when you two met,
As a responsible husband, I have to return the favor, don’t I?”
Nux’s smile turned demonic.
Seeing that smile on his face, Wyot’s body trembled.
He was definitely regretting saying whatever he said earlier.
‘Why the hell do you have to open that fucking mouth of yours everywhere, you idiotic bastard!?’
He cursed himself inwardly.
“Hmm? So what did you say? That you won’t listen to her orders, that she is not even the actual Queen? Hmmm? What else? Was there something else?” Nux started pondering.
“I-I…”
Wyot didn’t know what to say.
No traces of his past arrogance could be seen.
Who was he kidding!?
Just look at the ground.
Valora, Trever, Keeve, Reeve, and even Sir Wysten, all of them were lying on the ground, unconscious, just how can he defeat a monster who defeated all of them at the same time?
Not to mention, that he did it after defeating all of the other members of the Shadow Unit.
“I… I… d-didn’t…”
In the end, Wyot could only stutter.
Suddenly, Nux’s demonic smile disappeared and,
“Hahaha~”
He started laughing out loud. Then, he started patting Wyot’s shoulder.
“Hahaha~ Don’t worry, I am not that petty to bother about things like that. Also, my wife is not someone who needs my protection, she can stand on her own. So don’t worry, I was just joking around.”
Nux spoke.
Wyot smiled and nodded his head,
Inwardly, however, he was cursing his luck to get on this bastard’s bad side.
‘Joking around? Are you telling me that Killing Intent surrounding your body was all a joke!? Joke my ass! You aren’t fooling anyone with that fake smile of yours!’
Wyot swore inwardly as he continued to look at Nux’s face.
Suddenly, Nux’s face turned serious again.
Wyot’s heart skipped a beat.
‘D-Did he hear my thoughts?’
He even started thinking about absurd things now.
“Well, the jokes and all could go on, I still need to finish this test.”
Wyot finally realized that they were still in the middle of the battle.
‘How could I forget that?’
He thought inwardly, then suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise, he prepared his shield, ready for Nux’s attack, however, before he could even take his battle stance,
He felt a slight impact on the back of his neck and he felt his vision blurring away.
It was something very similar to what happened a few minutes ago.
With different thoughts in his mind, Wyot finally lost consciousness and fell on the ground.
*Thud*
“Haahh… that was the last one.”
Nux sighed deeply, then he wiped out his clean forehead, acting like he did a big job, his sword disappeared and he turned towards Astaria and the others.
“That was a difficult test indeed.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Iria and Phorus’s mouths twitched.
Monster, this man was a complete monster.
The two of them then turned towards Nux’s women, however, a frown appeared on their faces when they noticed a disappointed frown rather than a happy smile on Amaya and Ember’s faces.
“It took 17 Minutes, our calculations were wrong…” Amaya commented.
“It’s not our fault, that bastard was talking and chilling around while fighting, if he was a bit more serious, he could have done it within 10 minutes,” Ember spoke.
“But it is Nux… we should have calculated the time he would waste in… being Nux…”
Amaya started thinking and analyzing.
“…” Ember turned silent.
“Oh c’mon, don’t be too hard on yourself. You did good, though I don’t know what you even did.”
Nux then appeared in front of Amaya and started patting her head.
As he continued to pat, Amaya’s frown continued to fade as well, soon, the frown on her face was replaced by a tiny smile and as if trying to hide her expression from others, she buried her face in Nux’s chest and continued to enjoy his pats.
“Tsk, sometimes I feel like you act like this just so you could get his attention.”
Seeing this scene, Ember commented.
Amaya turned her head towards Ember, then, without saying anything, she buried her face into Nux’s chest again.
Ember’s eyes widened,
“Wait… you don’t actually do it to gain his attention, do you?”
“…” Amaya didn’t answer.
Different possibilities appeared in Ember’s mind.
“Tsk, don’t act like you don’t ever try to act spoiled to get his attention.”
Felberta, who was standing beside Ember snorted.
“W-What are you even talking about?”
Ember retorted as quickly as she could.
Felberta just snorted.
Nux sighed and then started hugging all his women.
Seeing this scene, Iria and Phorus didn’t know how to react.
This scene was just too… bizarre.
Especially when it is compared to a scenery of around 40 bodies lying on the ground, just a few meters away from this… flowery scene.
Their eyes then fell on their future Queen, who was currently resting her head on that man’s chest, there was a warm smile on her face as the man hugged her and moved his hand around her waist.
Different thoughts appeared in their mind.
Where was that cold girl who ordered a mass cleanup throughout the Royal Palace, the girl who caught criminals and dragged them around the Palace as if they were dogs, just where is she?
Who is this girl who just had a beautiful smile on her face while she enjoyed her husband’s care?
Just what is with this contrast?
Iria and Phorus couldn’t understand.
“Are you done with your lovey-dovey show?”
Suddenly, the flowery scene was broken away when everyone heard a voice.
Nux glanced at Astaria and smiled.
He then walked towards Astaria and questioned,
“So I passed out the test, didn’t I? How was my performance? Was it satisfactory?”
Nux knew that what he showed today had definitely shocked Astaria, her mind was currently full of questions, and Nux was interested to see how she would react.
What would she ask about first?
Would it be about his sword?
Or maybe the spikes that appeared out of the ground?
Or how no one could see him during the fight?
Or maybe something else?
Nux didn’t know, however, out of countless possibilities in his mind, he definitely didn’t expect this one.
“Fight me.”
“H-Huh?”
