Chapter 562 Tsk Tsk, You Greedy Queen.

"The mother-daughter pair can be dangerous, especially now that their relationship has improved,"

Nux spoke with a wry smile on his face.

Astaria turned towards Nux and furrowed her brows,

"Rather than dangerous, people like them are just… annoying.

They are weak, but they go around, planning this and that, trying different ways to harm you, even if they are your allies, you won't know when they will betray you, they could never become a person you could trust with everything you have, you would always need to keep your guard up around them.

I prefer straightforward people more.

If they hate you, they will say it right to your face.

That is how things should be, straight and simple."

Nux listen to Astaria's words and then a smile appeared on his face,

"Amaya is not like that.

I trust her with my everything and I don't need to keep my guard up around her.

Rather, I am most relaxed whenever I am with my wives.

To be honest, even Riona, she may be calculating many things while she is with others, however, when she is with people she actually cares about, she will be completely different."

"I have no clue how you trust people like them, you have to know, manipulation is what they are good at."

Astaria warned.

"Heh. If I can't even trust my women, then who would I even trust?" Nux replied with a smile.

Astaria frowned, then, she just snorted,

"I just don't like people like them…

I'll consider Amaya as an execption."

"Thank you for that.

Though I do understand why you don't like people who excel in planning and manipulations, you are the type to solve everything with your swords."

"That is a much better way to solve things."

"Hahaha~ I agree.

I am the same as well."

"No you are not, stop lying." Astaria shook her head.

Nux smiled wryly, "You are right, I am not…

I am more like a lazy person who doesn't want to do anything.

I would rather just stay in a Palace, surrounded by my beautiful wives, and enjoy my life.

Things like manipulations, planning, war, all of them are too troublesome for me."

Nux spoke as he slowly dropped his head on Astaria's shoulder.

…or what he tried to do.

However, before his head could touch Astaria's shoulder, Astaria disappeared and appeared a few meters away.

"Don't even try," Astaria spoke.

"Tsk, you are ruthless. You could at least support your student who is now tired, can't you?"

Nux, whose head was now on the ground snorted.

"Support yourself on your own."

Astaria snorted.

Nux sighed.

"Anyways, are you sure you don't want to be with Evane right now?"

Suddenly, Astaria questioned.

"I won't be cultivating today, I'll go straight to her after I have recovered a little," Nux replied.

"Tsk, take a bath before you go, you stink." Astaria snorted as she pinched her nose.

Nux's face twitched, he, however, ignored Astaria's statement and smiled,

"I would go straight to her.

We two will bath together."

"Shameless."

Astaria spoke.

"She is my wife, spending time with her is not shameless.

Of course, you are welcome to join if you want."

"I would rather not."

Astaria shook her head.

Nux sighed again.

"Alright, I am going now."

Astaria spoke.

"At least wait till I recovered enough to stand up," Nux replied.

"Don't try to fool me, you monster. You usually only need 10 minutes and 15 minutes have already passed. You are just looking for ways to keep me here so you can spend time with me.

What a pervert."

"You caught me."

Nux didn't deny.

"…"

Astaria turned around and walked away.

Seeing her back, Nux couldn't help but smile.

Then, he stood up, stretched his body, and turned around as well.

His direction, the Royal Highness's room.

…

"Queen Evane."

Nux bowed his head as he walked into the room.

Evane, who was sitting on the bed wearing a thin gown, placed her right leg on top of her left and spoke in a dignified voice.

"You are late."

"I apologize, my Queen."

Nux replied.

"You think a mere apology would be enough?"

Evane questioned as she narrowed her eyes.

"I… I have made a mistake, My Queen, please punish me accordingly."

"Come here," Evane ordered.

Nux stood up and walked towards her.

Of course, since he was in front of the Queen, he didn't dare look at her face and kept his head low.

"Look at me," Evane ordered.

Nux finally raised his head and glanced at Queen Evane's green eyes.

"What do you think your punishment should be?"

Queen Evane questioned.

"A lowly man like me don't dare to suggest anything to the mighty Queen,"

Nux knew his limits.

"4 nights then."

Evane spoke.

"No no no, that's too much." Nux quickly shook his head.

"3 nights?"

"Still too much."

"T-Two, I am not going lower than that."

Evane quickly broke the character.

"Tsk Tsk, you greedy Queen."

Nux snorted as he climbed onto Evane's bed and placed her on her lap.

"What's wrong with being greedy? I am the Queen."

Evane snorted.

"Now look at that~

Showing off already, aren't you?"

Nux spoke and Evane chuckled.

"Anyways, are you ready for today?" Suddenly, Nux questioned.

Evane pouted,

"I still wanted you to be with me as well."

Nux, however, shook his head, "You know we can't do that yet. With all these Emperors acting out, we are not sure what's going to happen in the future.

Containing news in Palace is simple, it won't do good if everyone knew about it right now."

"…I know that already."

Evane spoke.

"Of course you do, you are the Queen after all."

"But I am still sad…" Evane pouted.

"Then how about a bath together to make it up to you?" Nux suggested.

"I won't ever deny that~"

Evane replied seductively.

She obviously wasn't planning to keep it as simple as a 'bath.'

Nux, of course, knew what she was planning.

And who was he kidding?

He was planning the same thing as well.
