Chapter 1438 Question and Answers

"Why don't you start then, my dear Master?" Nux spoke with a small smile on her face. Aeliana stared at the boy in front of her, seeing the confident look on her disciple's face, she couldn't help but feel... relieved. He seems to have prepared these questions before she even captured her, it meant that he was prepared for this moment from the beginning, while that did bother her a little, to be honest, she was somewhat glad that Nux was prepared. It meant that he had something up his sleeves, something that would prove that he was not an enemy. Of course, the fact that he lied in the first place was enough to tell that he had his secrets, but who didn't? Aeliana didn't care. She just didn't want to lose a worthy disciple she found, she could already see what a great addition to her forces Nux will be once he grows. She didn't wish to go against him there, therefore, she was looking forward to what the boy had to say for himself. "Do you intend to harm me in any way?" Aeliana asked the first question. "Harm Aeliana Ruinous? Is that even possible?" "There are many ways one can harm others, Nux, physical harm isn't the only one." Aeliana narrowed her eyes. Despite this being the question Nux prepared himself, Aeliana wasn't satisfied with the answer. A 'no' was what she was looking for. Nux looked into his master's eyes and smiled, then, he continued, "I do not wish to harm you, Aeliana Ruinous. Rather, I only wish the best for you, I wish that you achieve everything you want in your life and be happy. With how much you have done for others till now, you deserve nothing but happiness." Nux spoke and seeing that the Amulet didn't react, Aeliana knew that he wasn't lying. Inwardly, a small smile appeared on her face. She was glad. Feeling her disciple's sincere emotions made her happy. For some reason, her reaction to those words was stronger than she expected. "Moving to the next question, do you intend to harm Yrniel or the Ancestral Order in any way?" "There are people I love living in Yrniel and Ancestral Order, those people will be sad if I turn my back to these places without any reason and seeing those people sad is the last thing I want.

Since he had the freedom to not answer the question if he didn't want to, there was no problem in proceeding forward. "What do you think of me?" Aeliana questioned. Nux stared at the Vampire for a while, as if she was thinking of an answer, he closed his eyes, even considering what he already knew about the Vampire from his previous life, then, he came up with an honest answer, "Someone I can trust." He replied and the Amulet didn't move. Aeliana raised her eyebrow when she heard those words. "You trust me...?" She seemed surprised. "Well, there are some things I cannot tell you, but other than that, I know I can entrust you." Nux answered, then, with a smile on his face, "Of course, as my Master, it is your duty to protect your student anyway." "Right." Aeliana chuckled as well. Then suddenly, a solemn look appeared on her face and, "I noticed you mention the people you love quite a lot, who are they? From what I know from my investigations, you weren't particularly close to a lot of people. Are these the people you secretly protected? You went as far as enslaving the entire continent and ordered your slaves to secretly protect them without them knowing anything." "Your investigation is quite thorough." Nux muttered. He knew it wasn't difficult to do it, Slave Seal wasn't omnipotent, heck, even Vyriana could get the answers she wanted through his slaves, what was stopping Aeliana, the Leader of the Order? "I have my ways." Aeliana smiled lightly. "Well, since you already know the answer, why even bother asking." Nux knew he couldn't hide it anyway, so he just shrugged helplessly. This, however, made Aeliana frown, "But why would you do that? Those people barely know you, some of them don't even who don't even know you. Why would you go so far for them? Even if it was love at one side, with your looks, power and talent, you should have no problem approaching them and making them yours then... why are you not making any moves?" She questioned, clearly, she had looked into his wives' memories, something he didn't like one bit but could he do anything about it? Of course not. Aeliana was strong. The Strong could do anything and the weak couldn't resist. The Vampire had already admitted to investigating his past, for her, looking into the people close to him was included in that. When Yrniel's security is under question, she doesn't consider many things. "I... have my reasons I cannot reveal." This time, however, Nux didn't give a direct answer. There was a strange expression on his face. A distant expression that Aeliana hadn't seen before. And this made her realize something, This expression, it wasn't something she had never seen before, she had seen it, in Nux's loved one's memories...

And this realization made her frown in confusion. Why would... he act distant with the people he loved...?
