"Why to bother with something so fruitless, why is someone like you degrading himself to be a servant of someone who will never reach your level, let alone surpass you?"
Astaria questioned with a solemn look on her face.
"Because I love her, of course."
Nux answered honestly and Evane's eyes widened in surprise and horror.
'We were going to be honest with her!?'
Evane questioned through the telepathic connection. Nux, however, didn't answer and continued to look at Astaria with a smile on his face.
Astaria narrowed her eyes.
"You love her?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
"I do."
Nux nodded and to prove his point, he grabbed Evane's hand.
Evane, who was scared about the consequences was now even more surprised, however, even after that, she didn't reject him.
She tightened her grip and glanced at Astaria with a determined look on her face.
'Whatever. If she decides to attack you, you know what to do.'
Evane spoke.
'Don't worry.'
Nux replied in a calm voice.
"With my talent, I certainly deserve to be your granddaughter's hand, right, Lady Astaria?"
Nux questioned.
"…"
Astaria didn't say anything and just continued to observe the two of them.
Nux was just smiling at her, Evane, however, looked a little scared. However, she wasn't scared because Nux was lying, she was scared thinking about what her reaction will be. Still, Evane was looking at her with a determined look on her face. Astaria liked that look.
At the very least, she can be sure that her granddaughter actually loves this boy.
However, that was not her concern right now.
"Love huh?"
She spoke,
"What if you only want control over the Throne through her? What if you want to use her as your puppet so you can rule this Kingdom?"
"Heh, why would I do something so pointless if I wanted that? In a few years, I will become an Emperor, the strongest existence in this world.
Once that happens, I can create a Kingdom of my own, why would I work so hard to take control over some other Kingdom?" Nux replied with a smile on his face.
Hearing his answer, Astaria couldn't help but chuckle,
"Do you really think making your own Kingdom is that simple, boy?"
"Is it not?" Nux tilted his head in confusion.
Astaria smiled,
"If you, as an Emperor, try to create your own Kingdom, your action will be seen as a revolt against the Four Strongest Countries in this world.
Skyfall, Skadi, Solid Earth, and the Woods, all of them would attack you and this includes the Emperors supporting these Kingdoms. There is no way you can go against all these Kingdoms alone."
"If I become an Emperor, then I can."
Nux, however, didn't back down.
