First, he doubted his sister, then his father, and now even his mother had to apologize in his stead. Lazarus clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger.
He was disappointed in himself.
“Well, I can’t entirely blame him either. I might have done the same thing as him if I was in his position. Family comes above all the reasonings, after all.”
Nux replied as he continuously nodded at his own words.
Lazarus glanced at Nux with a surprised look on his face.
Nux, however, completely ignored that and glanced at Melia,
“Plus, I wouldn’t want to see a disappointed look on that cute face either. I can totally understand where Lazarus is coming from.”
Hearing those words, Melia widened her eyes, then, her face turned slightly red as she glanced away, not looking at anyone.
Seeing her reaction, Lazarus’s wives raised their eyebrows in surprise.
They then glanced at each other and in an instant, they understood what others were thinking.
‘Did our little Melia just blush?’
The three women glanced at Lazarus and seeing his shocked expression as he glanced at Melia, they knew Lazarus was affected as well.
Ambrosia, on the other hand, raised her eyebrow a little, she didn’t expect this human to be this daring, and her daughter’s reaction…
She found it amusing.
‘Should I really allow my daughter to join his clan? I might completely lose my little angel…’
“A-Alright, let’s stop this, shall we? Brother has prepared all this so let’s not waste this. I will be joining Nux’s clan, however, this doesn’t mean I am disappointed.
I have learned a lot today, and I know that by joining this clan, I will be learning many new things as well.
This clan will be our new home from on, and I promise you, in the future, we will become the strongest clan there is.
Even stronger than the Bloodheart House.”
Melia glanced at Nux and smiled.
Nux smiled back and nodded with an assured look on his face.
Melia’s smile widened, then, she continued,
“And to achieve all that, I will be leaving the Bloodheart House soon, and I hope that you all will support my decision.”
“We support you with all our heart, Mel,” Ambrosia spoke with a smile on her face.
“However, don’t expect that we would let you surpass us that easily. We will give our all.”
“I expect nothing less.”
The mother and daughter glanced at each other and smiled.
“Alright then, to celebrate my daughter’s growth, let’s continue this on the dining table.”
Ambrosia clapped, gathering everyone’s attention. The Banner that was hanging on the wall moved on its own and then disappeared.
“Follow me,” Ambrosia spoke as she turned around.
10 minutes later,
The group entered a lavish room with brown-yellow colored tiles on the floor, light brown walls, a huge window that opened to one of the most beautiful sights in the entire Yrniel, the bustling Kingdom of Night. The room was big, and in the center, there was a huge dining table with many appetizing dishes on the top.
Ambrosia smiled as she sat on the Host’s seat and offered everyone to take their seats as well.
Lazarus sat next to Ambrosia, his wives sat on the other side. Melia sat opposite to Lazarus, and next to her mother. Beside him, sat Nux and then his wives. No one sat on the second Host’s seat, it belonged to Orpheus and since he was not here, his seat was left empty.
“Alright, I believe introductions are in order.”
Ambrosia spoke with an elegant smile on her face.
Unlike Orpheus and Melia, who rarely showed emotions, Ambrosia always had an approachable smile on her face. It seemed that, unlike his looks, when it came to showing his emotions, Lazarus took after his mother. Whereas Melia, on the other hand, was like a female version of her father.
Ambrosia then pointed at the red-haired woman sitting next to Lazarus and spoke,
“Nux, I am sure you are wondering who these beautiful ladies are, so let me introduce them to you,
She is Luciana Bloodheart, Melia’s sister-in-law, and Lazarus’s first wife.”
“It is a pleasure to meet you, Nux.”
Luciana spoke with a smile on her face.
Ambrosia continued and pointed at the Blonde,
“She is Esme Bloodheart, Lazarus’s second wife.
And the lovely lady with Blue hair is Claudia Bloodheart, Lazarus’s third wife.”
Nux nodded at the three women in front of him and smiled.
The three of them were beautiful and they weren’t weak either.
Luciana, the first wife was even stronger than Melia, she was a Semi Saint Cultivator, the other two weren’t weak either, they were Great Sage Cultivators as well.
Beautiful and powerful,
If Nux had met them before, he would have definitely been mesmerized by them, however, in front of Ambrosia, their charm took a hit.
Of course, this didn’t mean Nux was being a jerk about it, he glanced at each of these women and looked into their eyes before greeting them politely.
“I am Nux Leander, I hope you all will take care of me.”
Then, he pointed at his wives and introduced them as well.
After the introductions were done, Luciana glanced at Nux and complimented,
“Nux, I have to say, your wives are beautiful.”
“They indeed are.”
Nux nodded as he glanced at his wives with a gentle smile on his face.
His wives smiled back, the celebratory party continued as everyone chatted with each other. The wine was quickly brought in as well, livening up the party even further.
The party continued for a good hour then Ambrosia finally stood up.
“Alright lovely people, I still have somewhere I need to be,
You enjoy the food, and Nux,
Do not hesitate to ask for more.”
“Of course,”
Nux replied with a smile on his face.
Ambrosia nodded and then, she walked away.
The moment she left, it was as if the chains binding everyone in the room had disappeared and everyone except Melia and Lazarus sighed in relief.
Ambrosia was open to everyone and had an approachable smile on her face all the time, she wasn’t arrogant, nor was she bossy, she was far above others, she showed proper respect to everyone, however, even after all that, she still had an intimidating aura around her, Maybe the fact that she was just perfect was what made her so intimidating.
All in all, once Ambrosia left, only then did everyone sigh in relief, but suddenly,
Lazarus stood up from his chair, and then, he walked towards Nux.
