“I do not believe this! Let’s spar again!” Three stood up in anger and pointed her wooden sword at Nux. From the bruises on her face, it looked like she didn’t enjoy today’s spar.
“Nope, we won’t be sparing anymore, I have things to do.” Nux however, shook his head.
“Am I right to assume that you are scared? If that is the case, I can back down for you,” Three smirked, trying to use reverse psychology on Nux and hoping to get him to fight her.
“Heh. That won’t work on me,” Nux smirked.
“Tsk Tsk!’ Three snorted.
“Three, that is enough, learn to accept your defeat.” Two muttered.
His face was bruised as well, however, he seemed more calmed than Three.
“Two! How can you accept this so easily? Although we had Miss One with us yesterday and it was easier to defeat him, I don’t believe we cannot defeat him with the two of us working together!
He is only a Master Stage Cultivator.
We are Grand Master Stage Cultivators, how can we lose so easily!?” Three questioned out loud.
“…”
Two remained silent.
Actually, he found it a little unusual too. Yesterday, although Nux was able to fight against 3 Grand Master Stage Cultivators, that was only because they were holding back.
Today, although they did not have Thyra with them, they could still give him a decent fight and even defeat him.
However, the results were a lot different than what he expected.
They were defeated.
And although it was not a crushing defeat, it wasn’t a very tough and challenging fight either.
He couldn’t understand how it happened.
‘Did he improve so much in a single day? What kind of progress is that?’
Two questioned inwardly as he glanced at Nux with a frown on his face.
Nux noticed his expression and could pretty much deduce what he was thinking.
However, in the end, these two were just slaves, he didn’t need to tell them anything.
“Alright, that will be enough, we will spar tomorrow, I have things to do. You two can return.” Nux ordered, this time, his tine wasn’t playful and Three understood the difference.
Therefore, although dejected, she turned around and walked away.
Two bowed and followed Three as well.
Nux then stretched his body a little, and just as he was about to return, he heard a voice.
“Master Nux!”
Nux turned to the source of the sound and saw Alger running towards him.
“Hmm? What happened?” Nux questioned.
“Master Nux, here. I thought it was a little important so I should share this with you” Alger muttered as he passed an envelope to Nux.
Nux furrowed his brows; he took the envelope, he noticed that there was a little red mark on the edge, however, he ignored it and opened the envelope.
Then, he took out the letter inside it and started reading.
‘To My one and only love, Algerama,
The bird did not fly out today, maybe she didn’t want to meet her lover? Did they fight? Was the bird feeling sad? What about the bird’s lover? Was he sad?
I do not know, however, what I know is that I am brokenhearted since I have not met you for so long.
I just keep looking at the bird, dreaming about the day when you and the bird will meet.
Would you like that bird?
Would you like how it chirps?
Would you like her voice?
Or would you like me more?
I hope you will find the bird outside soon because if it stays in her small cage, it will break my heart.
You, of course, wouldn’t be able to bear seeing me like that, it will hurt you as well.
And when I think about you being in pain because of worrying about me, my heart shudders.
Thus, I hope you find the bird soon.
I hope you find her soon’
After reading the whole letter, Nux’s glanced at Alger with a dead look on his face.
“What kind of shitty letter was it? Was the writer drunk? And why the hell are you sharing that cursed thing with me?” Nux questioned.
Alger panicked, “Master Nux, don’t come to any conclusions so quickly, please read the name of the sender.”
Nux frowned, however, he did as Alger told and read the sender’s name.
Edrea Fox.
Nux then narrowed his eyes, he had heard this name before.
“It is Edrea Fox, a Sub Head Maid of the Royal palace,” Alger revealed and Nux’s eyes widened in realization.
Edrea Fox, the bitch who eyes on Edda’s position.
Wait…
Soon, Nux realized something.
“This is not a love letter, Master Nux.
The ‘bird’ she is talking about is Miss Edda.
She is saying that Miss Edda didn’t leave today, maybe she had some fight with her ‘lover’, that is you. She is worried that Edda won’t leave the Palace a lot and wants me to deal with her as soon as possible.”
Nux’s eyes widened in realization…
That… somehow makes sense…
“Why is she sending this to you?” Nux questioned.
“Well, we had a deal. I will umm… kill Miss Edda, obviously, since she is the subhead maid, she will become the new head maid, then she would let me get close to the Royal Harem.” Alger answered, however, with how his legs were trembling, anyone could tell that he was scared.
However, Nux didn’t care, Alger has already got what he deserved, plus, there is a much more important question in Nux’s mind right now.
“Why do you want to get close to the Royal Harem?”
“Because the Kingdome Of Skadi ordered me to.”
“Hmm? What does the kingdom want with the Royal Harem?” Nux questioned.
Previously, he wasn’t interested in world politics, however, now, things were different.
Plus, this directly affected Allura and Edda, Nux had to do something, at the very least, he should know what was going around.
“I do not know what the kingdom wants with the Royal Harem; however, I do have a theory in my mind.”
