“…”
“…”
An awkward silence fell in the room.
“…hope that you were ordered to do it… Else things might not end well for you.” Thyra muttered in a dry voice as she glanced at Alger.
*Gulp*
Seeing the half-dead look in her eyes, Alger gulped.
“A-As I said before, I have no interest in calling you again and again… I was ordered…” He muttered.
Thyra clenched her fists.
“So what does he want now?” She questioned.
She was really getting tired of this game.
“…” Alger stayed silent.
He did not want to say what he was about to say at all.
“Hey… I asked something…”
“…” Alger did not reply.
“…” Thyra stayed silent and waited patiently.
“…” Alger still didn’t reply.
The poor man was just digging his grave at this point.
“SAY SOMETHING!” Thyra roared in anger.
“H-He asked if you have distributed the weapons to the assassins that are in Hardwick Mansion!” Alger questioned in hurry.
From his expression, he looked like he was ready to die.
“Huh…? Didn’t he ask me this in the morning?” Thyra muttered.
“H-He predicted that you would say something like this, he says that you did not clarify your answer in the morning and were too busy threatening him. Therefore, he is still not clear and wants me to learn about the situation.
That is what he said, I have not made anything up!” Alger was quick to add when he noticed the vein that had popped out on Thyra’s head.
Thyra’s body trembled in anger and frustration, she then glanced at Alger and a cold smile appeared on her face.
Alger’s face turned paled and his heartbeat quickened, it seems that his clarification did not work.
Thyra then walked towards Alger with a smile on her face, the closer she walked, the wider her smile got.
The scene was quite scary, honestly.
Alger closed his eyes.
He had accepted his fate.
…
*Bam*
A few minutes later, Thyra walked out of Alger’s room and closed the door with a loud bam.
She was really annoyed, however, after taking out her anger on Alger, she felt a little better.
She always wanted to do something like this, however, since Alger was a noble and a useful pawn for the kingdom, she couldn’t do it.
However, now Alger is as good as useless, therefore, she could also act a little unrestrained now.
If you put it that way, Nux taking over them all was a good thing.
As she thought up to this point, Thyra began shaking her head continuously.
‘What are you thinking, Thyra!? Isn’t that bastard Nux the main reason for all your frustrations!? Alger is nothing but an idiot who is forced to follow his orders!’
Thyra stopped inwardly, if Alger, who was lying in his room with a bruised face had heard her thoughts, he wouldn’t know if he should cry or be happy.
However, Thyra didn’t care about what he does, she continued walking and,
“AAnnhhh~”
Sigh… her luck was bad indeed.
She was correct, she indeed heard the thing she did not want to hear at all. Her little sister started twitching again and she paused.
Her feet then turned towards the source of the voice.
‘This is just for investigation purposes!’ She steeled her heart and walked towards Nux’s room.
Yes, she was not lying.
Okay?
…
‘Thyra, come to the garden’
The next day, in the morning, Nux ordered.
Thyra, who was busy talking with other assassins, paused when she heard Nux’s voice.
This was getting really really repetitive.
She took a deep breath, stood up and muttered.
“I need to go.”
“Yes, Miss One.” Twelve and the other assassins nodded.
Thyra then glanced outside of the window and noticed the sun wasn’t up yet.
‘Heh. He needs to ‘work’ this afternoon as well?’
She snorted inwardly as she walked towards the garden.
A few minutes later, she arrived in the garden and saw Nux wearing skin-tight assassin clothes, similar to the ones he wore when he met her the first time.
He was sitting on the grass and once his gaze fell on her, a small smile appeared on her face as he stood up and walked toward her.
“I wanted to talk to y-”
“I know it’s you!” Suddenly, Thyra pointed at Nux and shouted.
“Huh? Of course, it’s me. What the hell are you talking about?” Nux questioned as he furrowed his brows.
“Don’t act innocent. I know it’s you who prearranged this all.
You know that I peek at you guys in the night, don’t you?
No, It’s better to say that you manipulate me to peek at you guys, didn’t you?” Thyra questioned.
“How did you notice?” Nux questioned with a smile. Although he was surprised by her sudden discovery, he didn’t think too much about it and decided to come clean and use it to his advantage.
“Hmph! I am not an Idiot!
Although you act carefree, I know that you are pretty cautious about things.
Someone as cautious as you may overlook things one time.
The second time is acceptable as well, however, if you miss things the third time, something is wrong.
Once I thought of that, everything else was clearer.
You make Alger call me for some random, idiotic reasons, and every time I am about to return to my room, I hear a moan.
I walk towards the door and conveniently enough, you and your partner move closer to the wall that is right beside the door that I am looking from, giving me a perfect look.
How coincidental right?
No it’s not!
You planned this all!
I know it!
I am sure of it!
However, I still don’t understand one thing…”
Thyra then walked towards Nux and narrowed her eyes,
“Why are you doing all this? What is your motive?
Is this related to another weird magic of yours?
Or do you perhaps have a weird fetish?” Thyra questioned.
Nux’s lips twitched when he heard her last question.
This woman really knows how to get onto his nerves.
However, he knew he shouldn’t lose his calm.
He is a calm, patient and handsome man; he shouldn’t act like a brute.
A small smile appeared on Nux’s face.
“Heh. You are a pervert!”
