"Concubine of the king huh… that is unfortunate indeed." Nux nodded to himself and then, he muttered,
"It must be tough living a life where your husband won't touch you and treats you like an object."
"W-What did you say?"
Allura's eyes widened in surprise and she questioned.
"I said it must be tough living as someone's trophy." Nux repeated as he shook his head in 'pity'.
"H-How do you know that?" Allura questioned.
Not many people knew about the king's 'hobby'.
Although the king himself hasn't forbidden anyone to talk about it, it is still an unspoken rule to not say unnecessary things out loud.
"Edda told me," Nux answered honestly.
"Edda? Why would she tell something so sensitive to you? No, wait! Why would she tell anything to you? How do you know her?"
Allura asked countless questions at the same time.
Her mind wasn't working properly right now.
First, her carriage was attacked by a few unknown people.
Even her protectors, who were supposed to be strong Grand Master Stage Elites, those protectors weren't able to stop these unknown people at all.
Then, she was kidnapped.
After that, she realized that the person who kidnapped her was this young man who she was going to have lunch with.
Now, she realized that this young man also knows her new 'friend' and not only that, her friend has even revealed an extremely important secret to this man.
Just what the hell is wrong with this day!?
Fear, surprise and then fear again, all these emotions attacked Allura one after another.
However, Nux wasn't done yet.
"What do you mean how do I know Edda? Didn't she tell you about me?" Suddenly, Nux questioned.
"H-Huh?" Allura frowned, she then thought about it a little more and,
'I have a lover, he is very handsome~~'
She recalled what Edda talked about the most.
"Y-You are Edda's lover!?" Allura's eyes widened in surprise as she questioned.
"Took you long enough to realize. You are surprisingly slow, Lady Allura. Hahaha~" Nux laughed.
However, Allura wasn't in a mood to laugh with him at all.
She just couldn't digest so many things at the same time. Her head was aching now.
"But why would Edda reveal everything to you?"
"Hmm? I am her lover, what's wrong with her telling me something?" Nux questioned back.
"T-That was a secret! I trusted her thinking she won't out me however, she betrayed my trust! She wasn't supposed to tell that to anyone else, not even her lover!" Allura shouted.
Her emotions were getting the better of her.
"Edda was right about you." Suddenly, Nux stated.
"H-Huh? W-What did she say?"
"She said you are a person with a good heart," Nux answered.
"O-Oh… that's nice of her…" Allura muttered.
A small smile appeared on her face, it felt good to be complimented like this, though it was a little sudden.
"However,"
"Hmm?" Allura glanced at Nux.
"She said that although you are a good person, you have a fatal flaw.
You are a scaredy-cat."
"Huh?" Allura frowned.
"She says that you have already given up and have accepted your fate as the King's object, his trophy.
Your 'boredom' is nothing but a veil that covers your fear.
However, you are still too scared to do anything about it, that's why she called you a scaredy-cat.
