Chapter 458 We Were Going To Be Honest With Her!?

"These are all the things I could think of."

Arvina spoke.

"Hm hm."

Nux nodded.

Seeing him like that, Arvina couldn't help but speak,

"Just… just don't offend her, alright?"

"Of course, you don't have to worry about that."

Nux replied with a confident look on his face.

Arvina didn't like that confident look at all, however, in the end, she decided to trust her student.

'Nux? Are you awake?'

Suddenly, Nux heard Evane's voice in his head and he frowned,

'Hmm? What happened?'

'Lady Astaria is summoning you. Well, she is actually summoning me, but I think the main reason for that is because she wants to meet you.'

'Hmm? Didn't we tell her that I was injured?'

Nux frowned.

'Only your legs were broken, 2 days are more than enough for them to get healed, we can't keep using this excuse.'

Evane replied and Nux's frown deepened.

'2 days?'

'Hmm?'

Evane frowned as well.

'Evane, where are you?'

Suddenly, Nux questioned.

'In the Palace of course.'

'Why did you return so quickly?'

'You know I can't stay out of the Palace for more than a day, right?'

'More than a day?'

Nux couldn't understand.

'What are you talking about?' Nux questioned.

'Huh?'

A strange confusion.

"Oh, you finally woke up. I never thought your cultivation session would last for more than 20 hours."

Suddenly, Amaya, who had just woken up spoke up.

"More than 20 hours?"

Nux frowned.

"Yes, you were sitting cross-legged for more than 20 hours."

"Wait… does that mean..."

"Yes, you have stayed here for more than a day. Evane had already returned."

Amaya clarified.

Seeing his confused face, Arvina frowned,

"What happened? Why do you look so confused? It's pretty normal to lose the Track of time when you are cultivating. This must have happened in the Past as well, didn't it?"

"Huh? Ah- yes, of course! Of course, it has happened in the past. Hahaha~ I just didn't expect it to happen right now."

Nux laughed.

"What are you talking about? It is not something you 'expect' to happen. It just happens." Arvina couldn't understand.

"Well usually, his control over this is strong, so he rarely loses track of time, also, he has to meet Lady Astaria as well, that's why he said that he didn't expect this to happen."

Amaya smiled.

"Ah, I get it."

Arvina nodded in understanding.

"Don't worry, you can tell her what happened. Teacher is not someone who will point at you if you lost track of time during Cultivating. She is not that petty."

"I understand."

Nux nodded.

A smile then appeared on his face and he bowed a little,

"Teacher Arvina, I am already late, I don't think I should make Lady Astaria wait anymore, so I will be taking my leave."

"Alright. Be careful though."

"Yes, I will be."

Nux nodded, he then walked towards Amaya, the two of them shared a light kiss then Nux left the room.

Then he kissed all of his wives and then disappeared.

The next second, he appeared right in front of Evane and smiled,

"Well, I am back."

"Finally." Evane smiled.

"Well, don't blame me alright, that was my first time 'Cultivating', okay?" Nux scratched the back of his head.

"Hahaha~ People would die in shock if they heard a King Stage Cultivator say something like this." Evane chuckled.

Nux smiled as well.

He understood it well.

His System was a fucking cheat, without it, he was nothing.

'Oh well, let's think about all these sentimental things later. I have more important things to do right now.;

Thinking that, Nux took a deep breath, he then turns towards Evane and smiled,

"So? Shall we meet Lady Astaria?"

"Alright."

Evane smiled, she then lifted her chest and,

"My bodyguard, follow me."

"As you command, Second Princess."

Evane and Nux walked out of the room and a few minutes later, they appeared in front of a lavish-looking room.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Evane knocked.

"Enter." A command was heard.

Evane and Nux nodded at each other and entered. There, they saw a black-haired beauty sitting on a chair with a leisurely expression on her face.

The moment the woman's eyes fell on the two of them, they brightened,

"Oh ho? You two finally decided to show up, huh?"

Astaria questioned with a smile on her face.

"Greetings, Lady Astaria."

Evane bowed, and Nux, who was standing behind her bowed as well.

Astaria just shook her head,

"Yeah Yeah, I don't need any formalities, have a seat."

Evane sat at the seat Astaria pointed at.

Astaria waited for a while, then she glanced at Nux and spoke,

"Do I have to give you a special invitation? Have a seat."

"Yes, Lady Astaria."

Nux sat down as well.

"I investigated what you said a little, and yes, Prince Raguel might actually be the one behind this attack."

Astaria spoke.

Evane's face changed, however, there weren't any major changes in Nux's expression.

"You don't seem very surprised." Astaria glanced at Nux.

"I already knew that. Lady Evane didn't lie, the proofs would of course support her statement." Nux shrugged.

After talking with Arvina, he had a better understanding of the woman sitting in front of him and he wanted to use this information as much as he can.

Hearing his answer, a smile appeared on Astaria's face,

"Alright then, let's not waste any time on these useless conversations. Let me talk about what I actually called you here for."

Astaria glanced at Nux and spoke.

Nux looked into her eyes and smiled,

"I am glad that we are on the same page."

In an instant, the air around the room changed, Evane, who was the main character before now turned into a side character, Astaria completely ignored her presence and shifted her entire focus on Nux.

"Boy, I want you to answer some of my questions and be sure to answer them honestly, your life is at risk here."

Rather than being intimidated, Nux just smiled and nodded,

"Please ask, Lady Astaria."

"Why are you helping Evane? You have a bright future ahead of you. You might even reach my level if you try ha- no, scratch that. With your absurdly high talent, you will definitely reach my level in the near future.

Then why bother with something so fruitless, why is someone like you degrading himself to be a servant of someone who will never reach your level, let alone surpass you?"

"Because I love her, of course."

Nux answered honestly and Evane's eyes widened in surprise and horror.

'We were going to be honest with her!?'
