Chapter 1445 Questions and Answers.
"I am about 1250 years old." Nux answered.
"What...?" Aeliana stared at Nux in disbelief. She was expecting a surprising answer, yes, however, when she actually did hear the answer, her shock was stronger than she thought. "What does that mean...?" Aeliana questioned directly, unable to contain her curiosity. Nux should currently be around 250 years old, for him to say 5 times that number... This shouldn't be possible...
"Tell me about Azriel Ruinous." Nux decided to drop the bomb. Hearing the familiar name, Aeliana widened her eyes. Yes, Nux knew about the Progenitors, however, when the words Progenitors were mentioned, the strongest of them all, the Vampire Progenitor is usually not mentioned. Even in the upper echelons of the Ancestral Order, not many people knew about the Vampire Progenitor since the man never bothered to appear in front of people. Nux, who joined the order recently shouldn't even know Azriel's name, yet...
"I am living my second life, Master." Nux, who could tell what Aeliana was thinking, explained. "...why do you wish to know about him?" "You can avoid answering if you wish. I do not wish to force you." Nux reassured. He already knew it was a sensitive topic for Aeliana. The Vampire glanced at her disciple for a while, seeing the genuine look on his face, Aeliana momentarily paused and started thinking.
It was a topic she wanted to avoid, but at the same time, she wanted to know more about her disciple's life than ever before. She wanted to know what secrets he was hiding, she wanted to know why he was reincarnated, she wanted to know about his past life and their relationship in his past life, She had many questions that he needed the answers to and thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel selfish. She wanted to know everything about her disciple but didn't wish to answer any of his questions. In what world was that fair? Just like her, Nux, as her student, had the right to know more about her. Something that normal people didn't know about. 'I only wish the best for you, Master.' Suddenly, Aeliana recalled Nux's heartfelt words and finally, she made a decision. "Azriel Ruinous is the strongest being in Yrniel, the strongest of all the Progenitors, the Vampire Progenitor and, my father." She decided to open up. "There are countless things I can tell you about him, you can tell me what you are particularly interested in, his strength, his abilities, the Magic Circle he uses to share his Blood, his control over the Yrniel's Will, I know quite a lot." "I wish to know about his relationship with you," Nux answered. Aeliana stared at Nux once again, then, unable to hold herself back, she questioned, "What was your relationship with me in your previous life? How much do you know about me?" "Hey hey, weren't you supposed to answer my question?" "Your question is too abstract, the answer you are looking for is a long one, it is not fair if I give you a long answer and you only give me short ones." "...I didn't think you would act so shamelessly." "That is a false accusation, I am merely stating logical facts." Aeliana shrugged. "Haah..." In the end, Nux simply sighed. He didn't even bother countering the woman's words, just from her expression alone, he could tell that she was already ready with many more arguments to shut him up and make him follow her arrangements, there was no point in trying to win against a woman who leads an organization as huge as the Ancestral Order her entire life. "I wasn't as close to you in my previous life as I am right now. We knew each other, acknowledged each other's presence and I knew how capable you were, but our relationship was still on the level of acquaintances." Nux replied and Aeliana narrowed her eyes, "Acquaintances huh... not many refer to me as a simple acquaintance..." Then suddenly, another thought popped into Aeliana's head and, "What about Vyriana, what was your relationship with her?" "Hey hey, aren't you going too far now, Master? You still haven't answered my question and are continuously asking me more and more questions. You are ruining the game." "It is not my fault, your questions are too abstract, not to mention your previous life is making things too difficult for me, I do not know what you know and what you do not, I do not know what level of detail I should give when I answer any of your questions. I cannot just see you as a simple disciple now, I need to know more about you in order to give better answers." Aeliana reasoned, "How about this, I will ask all the questions I want right now, you answer them, once I am done, you can ask me anything you want and I promise you, As long as it is not something that threatens Yrniel's security, I will answer all your answers, no matter how personal they are." Aeliana offered. She could already sense that Nux wasn't particularly interested in knowing more about the world unlike how many others from his background would be. Aeliana guessed that it was because he had already experienced many things in his previous life. She could sense that he was more interested in knowing more about her, something he didn't know considering their relationship in his past life. The Vampire could guess what type of question Nux wanted to ask, so giving him full liberty to get all the answers he needed was definitely an attractive offer. "Deal." And just as she expected, Nux readily accepted her offer. Aeliana smiled, "So? What was your relationship with Vyriana in your past life?" "She was my Master, someone who taught me most of the things I know, someone who created the technique I use even now, and... The woman I deeply loved."
