"You did get my message, right?"
"Mhm, don't worry, I won't do anything reckless, if she approaches me, I'll get myself involved, if she does not, I will just let it be."
"Amusing and smart, I like it." Eisheth smiled.
"I am just collecting brownie points for my future goals," Nux spoke as he glanced at Eisheth's body with a perverse look on his face.
"Heh, you are the first man I have warned so many times yet you don't take me seriously." Eisheth shook her head and sighed.
"Am I being too easy on you?" Eisheth muttered with a slight frown on her face.
"Hahaha~"
Nux laughed out loud.
"Don't worry, everyone feels like that when they interact with me, people find me quite likable, you know? Especially women."
"A pervert."
Eisheth commented.
"I wouldn't deny that." Nux simply shrugged.
"Anyways, now that we are done with Rune, let me talk about the main reason I am here.
Where is she?"
Suddenly, Nux questioned with a serious look on his face.
Eisheth's smile disappeared as well.
"I don't think it is right for you to meet her right now."
"Hm?"
Hearing her response, Nux frowned in confusion.
"What do you mean? Did something happen to her?"
"She just chose her path and needs time to figure herself out."
"Chose her path?"
"As I said, it is not appropriate for you to meet her right now."
"The way she left has me worried, it was as if she was suffering from something. I knew she needed some time so I didn't follow her, however, I believe I have given her enough time, I wish to see her now and ask if everything is alright."
"Do you really think you would be able to help my daughter if it is something even I cannot solve?" Eisheth questioned as she looked into Nux's eyes.
"There are things I can do that you cannot." Nux didn't back down and replied.
Eisheth observed Nux's expression for a while, then, she just sighed,
"Don't worry, nothing happened. She just doesn't wish to meet you right now. As I said, give her some time."
Eisheth replied.
"Have I done something that has saddened her?"
Nux questioned.
Honestly, Nux wasn't a fool.
He had an inkling about what it was all about.
He was not oblivious to the feelings Aisha has for him. However, he had turned her down decently as soon as he realized that. He had made his feelings clear, of course, he would understand if Aisha was acting like this because of his answer.
However, if that was the reason behind it, then Aisha should have reacted like that a lot earlier than this. Heck, she wouldn't even have come and formed a clan with him.
Why was she acting like that right now?
Nux felt like there was something else, something he didn't know about.
That was why he was here.
"Nux, as I said, she has just chosen the path she wanted to take. In other words, she has taken her first step towards maturity and it is a brave step as well.
You have not done anything, I just ask you to give her some time."
Eisheth spoke with a serious look on her face.
"…" Nux turned silent.
"Do not worry, I can't believe I am saying this, but I will take care of your friend, who, if you forgot, also happens to be my daughter."
In the end, Nux gave in,
"Then I will leave my friend to you, Lady Eisheth. I will be sending a trustworthy King Stage Cultivator later, if anything happens, please tell him to inform me and I will be here in that instant."
