“We are the Royal Soldiers! Open the door, or we will break it!”
“Why are the royal soldiers here!?” Allura questioned in panic as her eyes widened in fear.
Nux narrowed his eyes well.
How did that happen?
Did the king learn that he kidnapped his concubine?
But how?
The only possible way for that to happen is that Allura’s protectors defeat Thyra, Two and Three and then rush towards the Palace.
But even then, how did they know he was here?
Nux frowned.
He was worried.
He was worried about Thyra.
If Thyra lost, then why didn’t she inform him?
Is she safe?
Suddenly, Nux started panicking as well.
He needs to know what happened to Thyra.
He has to escape.
It isn’t really difficult to do so if he uses his Conceal, however, Allura would be left alone.
And although he can store the bed and table in his storage ring, the smell in this room would be enough for the soldiers to know what had happened.
Allura would be executed if the king learned that she had cheated on him.
Nux then glanced at Allura and started thinking.
Allura was important,
But Thyra was at risk as well.
Who should he choose?
“Nux.”
Suddenly, Allura called out.
Nux then glanced at her and saw her blue eyes brimming with determination.
“Let’s go out and fight together. I am a Master Stage Cultivator as well, if we try really hard, I think we can escape. If not…
We will die together while fighting our enemies.”
“Huh? Why would you do that? You can escape. I will hold them back and buy you time.”
A small smile appeared on Allura’s face as she replied,
“I am not an attention-seeking whore, Nux.
I am a faithful woman, you stepped forward and took my hand, you promised to give me the attention I crave, I won’t betray you when it actually counts.
I’ll be with you even if it means we die together.” The determination in her eyes did not fade away.
“…” Nux stayed silent as he glanced at Allura.
Then, a small smile appeared on his face and he commented.
“The king really missed out on an amazing woman, huh?”
“Heh. Isn’t that good for us? This allowed us to meet each other.” Allura smiled as well.
Then, she continued,
“Let’s fight our way out, Nux.
I promise, even if we die, I will find you in the afterlife and we will spend the rest of our time together.”
“Hahaha~ Why are you acting like this is the end of the world?” Suddenly, Nux laughed out loud.
“Huh?” Allura frowned.
Has he gone mad from the pressure?
That was her thoughts, however, the reality was completely opposite.
He had calmed down now.
Thyra or Allura?
That was a stupid question.
He was a greedy man.
He will choose both!
Suddenly, Nux’s expression turned serious as he questioned,
“Allura Skyfall, are you willing to be my woman with all your heart?”
“Huh?”
“Answer the question,”
“Y-Yes I am willing.”
Though she was confused, Allura still nodded, then, she felt another weird energy entering her body and she frowned even more.
“There is an ability called [Conceal]. Activate it and run away, I will take care of these soldiers.”
“Huh? W-What do you mean?”
“Use the Ability and run away. I know it’s confusing but I am sure you will figure it out.
You know how to use the ability, you just have to trust your instincts.” Nux instructed.
“I-I won’t let you sacrifice yourself!”
“Haah? Who the hell is sacrificing himself? It’s those soldiers who will die!” Nux retorted.
“I wo-”
“Allura, we don’t have time, just trust me.” Nux tried to explain, however, he soon realized that it will only waste more time.
“Alright, let’s do this, you can run away and hide somewhere. If you see that I am losing, you come and save me, okay?”
“O-Okay!”
Allura nodded.
She then thought about it and somehow, she activated [Conceal].
It was as if she has been using this ability since she was a child.
“Alright, I’ll leave, but I will be watching,” Allura muttered.
Nux nodded.
Allura then left through the window and Nux walked towards the door.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
“Open the door or we will break it!”
Nux then heard the same voice again, however this time, he frowned.
What the hell were these soldiers doing for so long?
Were they waiting for him and Allura to finish and formulate their plan?
Where are they? In a novel?
In what world does that happen?
Nux then activated his [Sense] and soon, a smile appeared on his face and at the same time, he sighed in relief.
He then shook his head as he walked forward and opened the door.
3 soldiers wearing Golden colour armour that had Skyfall Kingdom’s crest on it were standing in front of him.
The three of them had covered their faces and when his eyes met Nux’s, the one who was banging the door turned silent.
“Took you long enough! Why didn’t you open the door when you were ordered to!? What were you doing!?” The soldier in the middle questioned in a hoarse voice.
Nux then raised his hand and answered,
“Nothing… I wasn’t doing anything…”
“Step aside! We want to enter and search your house. We suspect that you have kidnapped the Royal Concubine, Allura Skyfall!”
“Are you sure you want to enter?” Suddenly, Nux questioned.
“Huh!? What do you mean? Are you planning to go against us?”
Nux, however, ignored the person in the middle and turned toward the other two.
“Are you sure you want to enter my house? You might get punished for not respecting the privacy of the citizen of the Skyfall kingdom.”
The two soldiers stopped.
They felt like Nux’s words have other meanings behind them.
Soon, their eyes widened in surprise and they stepped back.
‘Master Nux, it was all Miss One’s plan, we were only following her orders.’
Suddenly, Nux heard two’s voice in his head and he smiled.
‘Where are you?’ Nux questioned.
One of the two soldiers lifted his feet a little.
‘The left one?’ Nux questioned.
‘Yes, Master Nux.’
‘Who is Thyra?’
‘The one in the middle.’ Two answered.
‘As I expected.’ Nux’s smile widened.
“Who do you think you are!? Do you think we will care about your privacy? Step aside, else you won’t be able to handle the consequences.”
The soldier in the middle shouted.
“Tsk Tsk, bad soldiers need to be punished,” Nux commented, he then pointed at the soldier in the middle and announced.
“Especially soldiers like you, Thyra Cruse!”
