Chapter 1446 Misery loved company.

"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." Nux answered as a nostalgic smile appeared on his face. Aeliana, who heard those words was surprised, soon however, a frown appeared on her face. If Vyriana was someone he loved in his past life, then why would he avoid her like he di-

'Wait...' Suddenly, Aeliana realized something. "Then those women you protected in the Forgotten Continent..." "All of them were my wives in my past life. They were women I could go to any lengths for. The only difference between Vyriana and them was that Vyriana hadn't accepted me as her husband back then." A wry smile appeared on Nux's face as he shook his head, "What could I even do? Defeating that crazy dragon was the only way to win her heart and...

Defeating her was no easy task." "I can see that..." Aeliana muttered unconsciously. Vyriana was indeed a monster, even she, who had lived for such a long time would have a hard time defeating her if she regressed her cultivation to Divine Stage. She might even lose. Aeliana could also see how winning that woman's heart was only possible through defeating her. She would never give in to someone weaker than her and would probably kill the poor guy... that woman was obsessed with strength. Everything Nux said checked out. His strange actions of secretly having countless experts protecting random women he never even had proper interactions made complete sense now. However, there was still something Aeliana couldn't understand,

"Then why didn't you approach any of them...?" The obsessive look that appeared on Nux's face when he talked about his wives and Vyriana wasn't something Aeliana missed, heck, it wasn't something anyone could miss. Just that look was enough to tell Aeliana just how deeply this man loved those women. For him to not approach them even when his feelings were so strong...

"Father's aura burst out, the aura was so strong that the enemies instantly sensed that their chances of victory were slim and retreated. My father was strong, strong enough to face all the enemies alone if that was required, however... that strength came with a severe restriction. A restriction that stopped him from killing the murderers of his wives and avenging them. The battle ended with Yrniel's victory, but in that battle, Yrniel ended up losing its strongest being." Aeliana stared at Nux and, "Unable to bear the death of his wives, father decided to seal himself deep inside the Core of Yrniel, only bothering to wake up if Yrniel was in any sort of danger." "So this is why..." "Yes, that is the reason he doesn't show himself any longer," Aeliana answered. "But to leave his daughter alone when she lost both her mothers...

Isn't that... cowardly...?" Nux couldn't help but speak out loud. He didn't know how Aeliana would react to his words, however, as someone who had started to care about Aeliana, he couldn't help but find this situation ridiculous. How could he abandon his daughter like this!? Strongest man in the world!? Nux could only see a coward who sealed himself because he couldn't handle the pain. "What would you have done?" Suddenly, Nux heard Aeliana's question. He turned and looked at her, the Vampire didn't seem offended by his words, she was just curious. "What else? Take care of my daughter, make sure to give her the best life possible. A life where she lacks nothing!" "And what about your wives? Are you just going to let it be? Especially when you think that the reason they died was because you didn't act fast enough?

How would you act if all your wives die because of you and the enemies roam freely?" "...I will avenge them. I would do anything in my power to avenge my wives, I would torture my enemies in ways that death would seem like a sweet release. Something they wish for but never receive.

I would torture those bastards for eternity, no matter how long it takes." The look in Nux's eyes was horrifying. Aeliana, however, wasn't intimidated, rather, she just chuckled, "And what if...

You cannot do that? What if no matter what you do, no matter how strong you get, you still can't avenge your wives?

What if you were forced to live with the fact that your wives died because of you and you still cannot avenge them? How would you react then?"
