Seeing Nux flirting with Melia like that, Aisha’s expression changed.
“So is that how he acts when he goes after a woman?”
She questioned with a strange expression on her face.
“It is a lot different than the way he acts when he is with me.”
She muttered, her expression seemed different from her usual playful and cheerful self.
“That is true, it’s been a while since I saw him act like that.” Allura, who was walking near Aisha nodded.
Hearing her words, the atmosphere around Aisha turned even more damp as she lowered her head and smiled wryly,
“I mean… Melia is beautiful… and she is strong… I get it…
But… I am not that bad looking, am I…?
Or did I come out too straightforward, not giving him that feeling of conquest that men like so much?
Should I have acted aloof and distant, making him come for me?”
Aisha muttered.
Hearing her words, Allura just laughed dismissively,
“Heh, as if you could ignore someone like him and act aloof.
Woman, I am surprised that you didn’t jump at him the moment you saw him.
Ain’t no way you can just ignore a treat like that.”
Allura spoke.
Not many would believe that the ‘treat’ she was talking about was her own husband.
“What can I do…
It is not my nature to act like that, if I like someone, I go after them,
Is that wrong…?”
Aisha questioned with a strange look on her face.
“Hmm, not really, I know a woman who ignored Nux and even rejected him but rather than wanting the feeling of ‘conquest’, he just accepted her choice and moved on.”
Allura replied.
“Then…”
“Well, he just doesn’t see you that way.
That initial connection, it is just not there.”
Allura shrugged.
Aisha lowered her head and clenched her jaw. From how she was blinking her eyes, it was clear that she was trying to hold back her tears.
Seeing that, Allura placed her arm around her neck and questioned,
“What? The great Royal Succubus is giving up so quickly?
Tsk Tsk, I honestly expected better.”
“W-What do you mean…?”
Aisha’s expression changed.
She didn’t jump at Allura in anger. She knew her, if she was saying anything… then…
Aisha could feel hope…
“There is no ‘initial connection’, then just forget about it.
Focus on other phases.
He cares for you,
Use that, although you would need some manipulations and sacrifices, you can do that for him, can’t you?
Of course, just give up if you can’t. There is no pressure, he still sees you as a close friend, he even revealed the existence or [Core] to you and you have the permission to enter it whenever you wish, so you know he will treat you differently than other women and won’t forget about you.
You will always be his close friend that he would treasure.”
Allura spoke.
“I do not want that.”
Aisha’s response was quick.
“I do not want to be his close friend.
I want to be his wife, like you guys.”
Her intention was clear.
Hearing that, Allura smiled,
“Then what are you waiting for?
It is high time you get serious, girl.
Melia has a big head start.
Don’t let her get him before you,
How embarrassing would that be?”
“What do I need to do?”
Aisha questioned.
“Why should I tell you?
It is my husband we are talking about?
Why would I show you the way to his heart?
I do not want to share him with more people, you know?”
Allura spoke.
Clearly, she was asking for some sort of reward.
Aisha, who understood her intention questioned,
“What do you want?”
“I will tell you that later,
When you finally become one of my sisters, I mean.” Allura spoke with a mysterious smile on her face.
Aisha smiled.
She liked what Allura just said,
“Alright, I will owe you a big one then.
Now tell me what I need to do.”
“Do you know what pushes Nux away from you?” Allura questioned.
“My straightforward nature?”
Allura shook her head, “I told you already, he is not like that. He doesn’t need that feeling of conquest or whatever. Or maybe he does, but that is not what is affecting your relationship.”
“Then is it because I am a succubus, does he not like these succubus features?” Aisha questioned with a worried look on her face.
“…”
Allura stared at Aisha with a deadpan look on her face.
“Ah right… you are a succubus now…”
Aisha realized.
“Then what is it…?”
She questioned.
“What is the difference between you and me?”
Allura questioned.
“…”
Aisha thought about it for a while…
She and Allura were different… but she knew physical features were not what Allura was talking about…
Then suddenly, Aisha’s expression changed…
“I think you get it now?
Nux does not like sharing, at all.
He is extremely possessive,
So a succubus like you, who plays around with different men every day,
You can be his friend, but there is no way he would accept you as his woman.”
“B-But doesn’t he have all of you as well?”
“Hmmm?” Suddenly, Allura’s expression changed.
“You are sharing him with others as well… so… why does he get to keep all of you to himself…?” Aisha pushed.
“Hmmm. I don’t know… That is a good question…”
Allura muttered.
But then, she just shrugged.
“Well, you can say that he can do it because it is him?
I mean, I do not know how to ‘defend’ him here.
You can even call it hypocritical, but who cares?
Don’t all the Kings have a harem of women around them?”
A smile appeared on Allura’s face as she spoke,
“In our eyes, Nux is no different than a King,
A King we never wish to go against, a King we never wish to leave, a King who has spoiled us to the point where others just don’t cut it.
We do not need other men.
We just want to be his.”
“…”
Aisha turned silent.
This feeling…
She could never understand it…
But when she looks into Allura’s clear eyes…
She envies her…
That expression on Allura’s face…
That obsession, that care and… that love as she looks at Nux’s face…
She wondered what she would look like when she had a similar expression on her face as well.
