“What are you doing here?”
Rune questioned as she glanced at Nux.
Felix, who saw a human appearing right next to his sister widened his eyes in surprise. However, seeing Rune’s calm reaction, he realized that his sister knew this man and remained silent.
“What do you mean? I was worried about Lady Rune going in and meeting her brother, so I decided to follow you.”
Nux replied.
“So you are telling me you were here all this while…?”
Rune questioned.
“Of course. How do you expect me to protect you if I don’t follow you everywhere?”
Nux replied with a kind smile on his face.
He had his doubts before, however, today, he finally confirmed it. The entire City Manor was already under the [Core]’s range. So he decided to take a little risk and follow Rune, if he gets caught, he was going to use the excuse of being Rune’s subordinate, however, just as he expected,
Oberon Feline, one of the most perspective beings in the world, couldn’t sense his presence. He did react a little when he walked right behind his throne, however, Nux was sure that it was just Oberon’s instincts acting up and he couldn’t actually sense him.
And with Oberon standing right in front of him all this while and still not being able to sense him, Nux was now even surer.
Nux was now fearless.
Hearing Nux’s words, Rune and Felix were taken aback. Especially Felix, did this human just say that he was here all this time, and he, his sister, and his father, none of them could sense his presence?
Felix was in shock.
Rune was the same, she knew Nux was different, but to think that he can even avoid her father’s, a Divine Stage Catkin’s perception.
Just what kind of monster was he?
“Anyways, enough about me. The main problem here is something else.
What have you decided to do, Lady Rune?”
Nux questioned.
Coming out of her reverie, Rune’s expression changed again and she shook her head,
“I do not know.
What do you think?”
She questioned.
“Hmmm, I am more inclined towards your father’s side of the story, my wives have the same opinion, but that just means his story is just more believable, I am not saying it is true.
And of course, we cannot make our move unless we are absolutely sure who to trust.”
Nux replied.
“I know that, but how do I know which side is speaking the truth? Is it father? Or is it mother? Father has already given us an ultimatum, he is going to make a move regardless of what we choose.”
Rune replied. The situation was indeed troublesome. Not to mention the time limitation that Oberon had set by giving them an ultimatum. Although he didn’t mention it clearly when he asked them to decide, they obviously don’t have much time to look around.
“Should we… just run away…?”
Suddenly, Nux questioned.
“Since we are not sure, we can run away, buy some time and look around, once we have more information, we can decide properly.” He explained himself.
Rune glanced at Felix.
“We can take him away as well. Though I won’t be releasing those Chains.”
“If we do that, then we would be going against both sides, I do not want that. I want to know the truth… if possible.
I will only consider this as a last resort.”
Rune replied after thinking for a while.
“I understand.”
Nux nodded his head.
Rune turned silent.
She was trying to think of something.
Felix, on the other hand, was on a completely different wavelength than the two.
‘What the hell is happening here!? Who is he!? How did a Great Sage escape all our senses? Why is Sister asking for his advice on something so crucial? And what did he say before? Protect her? How was a Great Sage going to protect a Saint!?’
His mind was a big mess filled with all these questions.
Of course, Nux and Rune didn’t pay him any heed.
They were busy with their own thing.
‘If it is as Lord Oberon says, then the mother isn’t just some normal woman, she is someone who is manipulating Felix and is trying to make him kill Lord Oberon. A woman like that won’t possibly rely on just Felix alone.
She should have something else prepared. Or at least someone who can keep an eye on Felix’s reactions.
Someone who is close to Felix, someone who Felix trusts.
There must be someone who is on her side, else manipulation at this level is simply not possible.
If we can find that someone then knowing the truth shouldn’t be difficult.’
Amaya, who heard all about the situation spoke.
Nux thought about it, the only person who came to his mind was Leo, however, that man was a Saint, he wouldn’t possibly give in so easily and the Slave Seal won’t work.
‘What about Aragorn…?’
Suddenly, Amaya spoke up.
‘Aragorn…?’
Nux frowned.
‘According to Rune, Felix started changing 1500 years ago when their mother ‘died’, before that, the two of them had a good relationship.
If that is true, then Aragorn doesn’t match in the timeline.
He met Rune 2800 years ago, that is way long before any of this happened.
If he was on Rune’s side and later shifted positions, then there was no reason for him to act like an impotent for all these years.
Then…’
‘He was not on Rune’s side to begin with…’
‘Indeed.’ Amaya nodded.
‘Aragorn…
He was ‘planted’ on Rune’s side by someone else.’ Nux realized.
Then, however, he frowned,
‘How are we going to interrogate him, even though he is not a Saint, he is still a Semi Saint, Slave Seal won’t work on him.’
‘You don’t have enough points?’ Amaya questioned.
‘I do not.’
Nux shook his head.
He had already used most of his System Points, so he could not upgrade Slave Seal.
‘…’ Amaya turned silent.
‘If only that bastard was not a Semi Saint, everything could have been solved.’
Nux snorted.
‘There is a way.’
Suddenly, Melia spoke up.
