"An Observer?"
"Yes, an Observer.
You might have heard about him,
Orpheus Bloodheart, my father, and the Head of the Bloodheart House."
Melia spoke with a small smile on her face.
"…is this an attempt to intimidate me? Because if it is, then let me tell you, it is definitely working."
Nux spoke with a wry smile on his face.
"You are not supposed to admit that, you know?"
"I just thought you were different from other nobles.
I never thought you would use your father to intimidate me and would try to make me sign a contract on unfair terms."
"The terms of our contract have already been decided, Nux. I am not trying to trick anyone here.
Trust me, I am doing this to show my sincerity."
Melia spoke with her normal, expressionless look on her face.
"He is the man who I respect the most in this world.
My father is a fair and upright man who values his pride and virtue over everything.
I will never cheat anyone in front of him, because even if I do get what I want by doing that, I would disappoint him and that, is something I cannot accept. It is my bottom line."
Melia explained, then, a small, barely visible smile appeared on her face,
"Of course, I will admit that I am a little curious to see how you would react when you meet father."
Nux just smiled wryly and didn't say anything.
Melia took that as a yes, she then summoned a servant, ordered him to form a contract, then stated the conditions in front of Nux, both parties then read the terms, and only when the two of them were satisfied, was the contract sealed.
"Take this to Lord Orpheus and him that I wish to see him."
Melia ordered.
The servant nodded, bowed his head, and then, he walked away.
"…"
The room turned silent.
Melia didn't say anything, and since Nux and his wives seemed to be looking at each other, showing different expressions on their faces, Melia decided not to bother them and started looking outside the window while sipping on the wine with a calm look on her face.
A few minutes later, the servant returned and reported,
"Lady Melia, Lord Orpheus has agreed to meet you."
Melia nodded at the servant and ordered in an emotionless tone.
"You can leave."
The servant bowed his head and walked away.
After that, Melia's stoic expression broke and she turned toward Nux,
"Are you prepared?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"To meet a being who can squash me with just a thought, of course I am."
Nux nodded with a strange expression on his face.
"It seems you are prepared."
Melia smiled a little and then,
"Follow me."
Nux and his wives then followed Melia and after walking for around 10 minutes, they appeared in front of a room.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Father, it is me."
