"Rune, go with him."
Oberon spoke as he looked into his daughter's eyes.
"Father…?" Rune was shocked.
"You want to help him, correct?"
"B-But I am not strong enough…"
"Didn't he say that you are wrong about that and that he needs you by his side? When he has come all this way just to seek your help, how can you deem yourself unworthy of helping him?
From how I see it, this feels more like you trying to find an excuse to not help him.
If that is the case and you truly do not wish to leave with him, then by all means, stay here, the City needs a competent heir anyway, however, if that is not the case and you truly return the favor,
Then you need to leave."
Oberon spoke and Rune's expression changed.
She stared at her, father for a while, then, she glanced at Nux who simply smiled at her, and in the end, she sighed,
"I will do my best to help you in any way possible." She spoke with an earnest look on her face.
"And that is exactly what I need." Nux nodded as his smile widened and he quickly formed a portal again.
"You can leave." Oberon repeated, then, he turned towards his son, and, "Felix will be taking over your duties till you return. So you do not have to worry about anything."
"Yes, father."
Rune nodded.
"Take care of things here, Brother Felix. It would be good if you get used to things around here." Nux spoke with a playful smile on his face as well.
Felix stared at this shameless man in front of him and couldn't say anything.
Nux shrugged and turned towards Rune.
"Please." He gestured the Cat woman to move into the Portal he had created, however, just as he was about to follow her,
'If something happens to my daughter, I will use everything at my disposal to kill you. Even if I can't find you, I will wait for you to appear and I will continue to wait till eternity.'
He heard Oberon's threat.
Nux paused, then, he turned towards the father and smiled gently, 'I assure you, Lord Oberon, I will not disappoint you, or her.' freewebnøvel.com
'…that girl may not show it, but she has a gentle heart, a heart that has already been broken once. Please be careful and considerate to her.'
Oberon's tone turned unusually gentle.
'Since the start, I haven't been close to my children because of my distance nature, I have tried to change myself but habits formed for 1000s of years do not simply change just because you want them to. Not to mention that the gap between me and my daughter has already widened to the point where if I change my approach a little too much too quickly, Rune might think that I am doing it out of pity for her and wouldn't like it.
You, however, I believe are different.
Try to get her to open up to you, try to get close to her. I know you are trying to win her heart, but don't be too hasty when you do that. Take it slow, get close to her, let things flow naturally, and…
Take care of my daughter.'
Oberon spoke and this time, Nux was actually surprised.
This man actually cared for his daughter.
He didn't think that was the case when he saw him the last time he was here.
'Well, that's a surprise.' He muttered to himself, then, he glanced at his future father-in-law and,
'I will heed your words.'
Saying those words, he turned around following Rune and stepping into the portal as well.
The two glanced at the Father-son pair one last time, Nux smiled,
"I will be taking your daughter away now."
"Father, I will return as soon as I settle things there," Rune spoke as well.
Of course, Rune wasn't a fool. Nux's intentions were as clear as a day in her eyes, he did not need her help in any way, she knew Nux was far more capable and resourceful for that, especially now that he had returned, turning into a much more absurd monstrosity than before.
Rune knew that the only reason Nux wanted her close to him was because he was still aiming for her even after she had rejected him before.
So her saying this to her father was her way of telling Nux that she won't be falling for his methods.
Nux, who could tell what the Cat woman was thinking just smiled. Then, he waved his hand, the Portal closed and now, Nux and Rune were alone inside the [Core].
"How did you get Felix to be on your side?"
Rune questioned without wasting any time.
