"You asked for some time and I generously gave you enough,
Are you ready for our bet now?"
Lilith questioned with her usual seductive smile on her face.
"Lady Lili-"
"No, he is not."
Nux wanted to reply, however, before he could say anything, Vyriana stepped in front of him and spoke up, looking into Lilith's eyes with a defying look on her face.
Seeing her attitude, Lilith couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"For some reason, I and Nux have not been communicating enough, therefore, I wasn't informed about the bet the two of you had made until recently." Vyriana explained the situation. Her explanation, however, didn't lessen the Progenitor's frown, rather, her confusion only deepened even further.
"I fail to understand how that matters here," Lilith spoke.
Seeing her reaction, Vyriana frowned as well.
It was as if she was thinking, 'How come she doesn't understand something so simple?'
Heck, the Dragon even looked at the Progenitor with a doubtful look on her face thinking that Lilith was trying to act ignorant. Of course, she wasn't planning on letting her continue her game, she clarified her words even further,
"As I said, I wasn't informed about the bet, so it cannot be considered anymore.
The bet is void."
Vyriana declared. Nux wanted to stop her, after all, too much was on the line in the situation, Vyriana however, simply glared at him, silencing him without even saying a simple word.
The meaning behind her actions was clear.
Let me deal with this and you stay out of this.
Now Nux wasn't the type to let things like these happen if he didn't want them to, this time, however, the one doing it was Vyriana. He had no choice but to agree.
He couldn't possibly offend his Dragon now, could he?
Yes, he was a Simp, kill him.
Lilith, of course, wasn't letting a mere Divine Stage Cultivator walk over her, she continued her questioning,
"I still do not understand where your presence is required here. The bet is not about you, it is about Nux, you have no right to decide things for him."
The Dragon, however, didn't back down,
"As a matter of fact, I do have the right to make decisions in his stead.
He is mine."
She declared confidently.
Lilith narrowed her eyes, and Vyriana, whose confident face flushed ever so slightly as she understood the meaning behind her words, was quick to reframe her sentence,
"He is my student. I was given the responsibility to guide his progress throughout his journey. Therefore, a bet that would have a significant effect on his mind, which would definitely affect his future journey, cannot be made without my presence.
Thus, the bet can only be voided."
Lilith however, shook her head once again,
"The bet is already made, it was settled the moment I gave Primordial Blood to that girl." The Progenitor then turned towards Nux and,
"You don't plan on going back on your words after your wife already got the Blood, correct? That would be seen as you fooling and taking advantage of me, which, I assure you, wouldn't be a good thing."
It was a direct threat and hearing those words, let alone Nux, even Vyriana had a solemn look on her face.
Progenitors were generally an easygoing bunch, however, that is because they were too lazy to care about most things. As beings who had been living for millions of years, things that could trigger a reaction out of them were far and few.
Of course, this didn't mean things like those didn't exist.
There were many things that could indeed get a reaction out of a progenitor and once it does…
Well…
Also, Lilith wasn't in the wrong here.
She had indeed given Primordial Blood to Allura, which was also the reason why the woman had changed so much, becoming even more seductive than she already was.
It shouldn't be forgotten that these are the same beings who could smash someone like Aeliana, the strongest being in the Ancestral Order into oblivion without even putting any real effort. A mere Divine Stage Cultivator like Vyriana, no matter how strong for her stage she was, in front of a Progenitor, she was nothing.
Taking advantage of a being was impossible.
Also, Lilith wasn't in the wrong here.

He was indebted to Lilith and he couldn't possibly go back on his words.
