Chapter 134 I Trust You.

"Stronger than the King," Nux answered with a smile and Allura's eyes widened in surprise.

"S-Stronger than the king? But you are at Master Stage! You can't even defeat a Grand Master Stage Expert let alone a king." Allura retorted.

"Do you really think so? Then tell me, how old is the King?" Nux questioned.

"200 years or something," Allura answered with a shrug, it looked like she wasn't very bothered about it.

Nux frowned at that, however, he shook his head inwardly and continued.

"And I am just 18 years old.

I only need a few more years before I catch up to the King and then surpass him. Heh, then I can even become the new king."

Allura raised her eyebrows at that statement.

"You do know what you just said is enough to get you executed, right?" She questioned.

Nux's smile widened as he answered.

"Yes, I do."

Allura narrowed her eyes as she questioned.

"What if I tell what you said to the king? Are you not afraid?"

"Heeeeh?" Nux smiled as he moved his face close to Allura and muttered.

"I know you won't. I trust you."

Allura's heart started beating quickly, however, she quickly shook her head and cried inwardly.

'He is just an 18-year-old boy! What the hell are you beating so quickly for!?'

However, when she saw Nux's handsome face close to hers, she couldn't take it anymore and pushed him away.

"Y-You are too close." She muttered.

"O-Oh. My bad. I didn't know a mature woman like you would blush so easily. Though it makes me glad for some reason."

Nux smiled playfully.

"You!"

Allura wanted to retort, however, she noticed her red face on the window's glass's reflection and wasn't able to say anything.

Nux smiled even more and walked towards the table.

"Alright, let's eat now."

Saying that, he started placing the food on the plates and signalled Allura to join.

Allura didn't like that he was the only one doing this and she started placing the food on the table as well.

Nux paused as he noticed what she was doing, a small smile appeared on his face and he continued.

"So Lady Allura, what are your hobbies?" Nux questioned.

"Reading books…" Allura answered.

"Hmm? What type of books do you read?" Nux questioned.

"Fantasy."

"Ohh, that's good, I have an amazing story in my mind that matches the genre you read, would you like to hear it?" Nux questioned with a small smile.

Allura's glanced at Nux with eyes full of interest as she nodded.

She was out of good books lately, so any good story was warmly welcomed.

"So this is a story about a man, who lives in a world that is a lot different than ours."

"What kind of world?" Allura questioned.

"A world where the concept of cultivation doesn't exist. The humans there aren't able to cultivate and live longer. Everyone there is a normal man who is barely able to live for 100 years.

However, although there was no cultivation in that world, there was something called 'technology'.

With that, the humans there were able to progress so much that they could even leave their own planet and explore other planets outside."

"Oh?" Allura's eyes brightened, though she wasn't able to imagine a world without cultivation, this technology thingy sure did attract her interest.

"Alright Alright, Lady Allura, we are going to stay here for quite a while, don't just listen to my story, eat lunch as well."

"Yes." Allura nodded.

Nux smiled as he continued his 'story'.

What story was it?

Heh? Nux wasn't really an author was he?

He just spat out random bullshit and since the whole 'science' and 'technology' was new to Allura, she enjoyed whatever he said.

He wasn't dumb enough to tell her stories like Cinderella and all that, because the way people in this world think was different.

Therefore, for them to like the stories the people on Earth liked…

It was highly unlikely.

Well, whatever, the main goal was to talk.

Which he had achieved.

While he was at it, he also probed and learned about Allura's other interests as well.

The two of them continued, well, Nux was the one who spoke the most, but the way Allura's eyes were gleaming with interest, Nux knew that he had succeeded in the first step.

Gain her interest.

An hour passed by, and Nux had long stopped the story on something debatable, the two of them started talking if what the main character did was right or not, and this way, Nux started chatting about another topic.

He didn't realize it, however, he was becoming a master at changing the course of conversation. Unlike him in the past (on earth), now, he was the one who set up the pace of the conversation while the others followed.

How did this happen?

Who knows?

"Hooh, look at the time, Lady Allura, it's already 2 pm."

Allura's eyes glanced at the clock in shock.

She couldn't believe so much time had passed.

"So Lady Allura, when are we meeting the next time?" Nux questioned and before she could think too much, Nux continued.

"The next time we meet, I will make sure to bring a storybook that was popular in my town. It is also about Earth, the world without magic. However, it is a lot better than the one I shared with you before"

Allura's eyes brightened in joy.

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you, Lady Allura?" Nux questioned with a smile.

Allura was taken aback by the smile and she muttered, "O-Okay, then we will meet 1 week later. I have left the Palace 2 times already, someone will be suspicious of me if I leave again this week."

"Ahh, I can understand that, alright, next week it is then." Nux smiled, he then stood up, and walked towards the window.

"See you soon, Lady Allura."

"Wait!" However, just as he was about to jump out of the window, Allura called.

"I still do not know your name," Allura questioned.

A smile appeared on Nux's face as he replied.

"Nux Leander."
