"Is everything under control?" Nux questioned.
"Of course." Riona smiled.
"It was faster than I thought," Nux commented.
"Of course it was. Who do you think you are talking to?"
"Indeed, as Amaya's mother, you have to be at least half as good as she is." Nux nodded.
"She still has a lot to learn.
She lost the bet, you know?" Riona nodded her head and smiled as she glanced at Amaya.
Obviously, she was expecting a hiss in response to what she said, however, Amaya completely ignored what she said and continued to play with Nux's hair while he placed his head on her lap.
"Mhm, luck is also part of life, I guess." Nux nodded.
Completely undermining Riona's victory and blaming it on luck.
"…" Riona didn't know what to say.
'The two of them are similar when it comes to certain things.'
She thought inwardly as she glanced at the couple having a moment together.
"Anyways, after that little dose, Eardwolf is now acting like a good puppy. All the servants who attend to Amletus have already been turned into slaves.
Though I am still not the Queen, I hold all the powers now.
We are expecting to get some information out of the letters that Herms send to Amletus.
Now the only thing we have to do is wait."
Riona quickly reported everything.
"Are you sure I don't have anything to do?" Nux questioned.
"Nope, you are free to go." Riona smiled.
Although she had a smile on her face, even a child could tell what she was thinking,
'Just leave already, why are you taking so long.'
That was the only thing going on in Riona's mind.
Today, miraculously, Amaya had decided to stay with her mother while Nux returns to the Skyfall Kingdom.
Riona, of course, was very excited to spend time with her daughter and wanted Nux to leave them alone as soon as possible.
"Do you really have to go?"
Amaya, on the other hand, had completely opposite thoughts.
She wished that Nux stayed with her as well, however,
"You know I have to go right? She will kill me if I don't." Nux replied with a wry smile on his face.
"Tsk, she is abusing her authority," Amaya complained.
"She is the strongest after all."
"Do you think you can defeat her today?" Amaya questioned with a serious look on her face.
Nux's expression turned serious as well,
"I am not sure.
I won't lose easily, that's for sure.
I was able to force her to use her own Mana and Skills in the last battle, though she overwhelmed me because of that.
After another round of training, I feel like I am prepared now."
"Training you after throwing out a challenge like that, tsk." Amaya snorted.
"Heh, she is that desperate."
Nux's smile widened.
"…"
Amaya just turned silent.
"W-What are you two talking about?"
Suddenly, Riona stepped into the conversation as well.
"The Wager between Nux and Astaria," Amaya answered.
"Wager?"
"Yes, as you already know, Astaria is now training Nux."
Riona nodded.
"Well now, she went ahead and challenged him to a little wager!"
"What? Really!? What are the terms?"
"If Nux manages to defeat her,
She would marry him."
"WHAT!?"
Riona shouted in surprise.
