1497 How did I fall for that?
"Oh ho? Look who it is!"
Allura chuckled with a playful smile on her face as her eyes fell on Rune and Nux who just came out of the room.
Seeing Allura and others looking at her with that knowing smile on their faces made her feel embarrassed. She felt as if these people had seen everything she did inside, even her shameful moment.
The only one who had a somewhat normal gaze was Vyriana, however, the aura the woman released was simply too powerful for Rune to try and get along with her.
Yes, the rest of the women were quite strong as well, however, she had met other women before and was somewhat comfortable around them.
For Vyriana, who had always been a distant being, she was still having a hard time digesting the fact that this scary woman was now her 'sister'.
Of course, Vyriana didn't make things easier for the cat woman either, in her eyes, the cat was the competition, so she was looking at her with an even more piercing gaze, intimidating her even further.
Nux, who noticed that chuckled, then, he held Rune's hand, pulling her out of her reverie. Rune snapped out, blinking a few times as she glanced at Nux. Vyriana's intimidation completely failed since Rune's mind didn't even register her presence, once again, the only one she could think about was the man standing next to her.
The rest of the people didn't matter...
Or at least that is what should have happened but...
"Sister Rune~"
Rune heard a voice that surprised her. She stepped back when she realized Skyla was standing right in front of her with a cheeky smile on her face.
"Your face is still red, your legs are trembling, and you are tightly holding darling's hands, Hehe~
You must have had a good time, didn't you?"
Skyla questioned.
This was one of her favorite hobbies and it was something no woman could escape from. With her big eyes, Skyla looked into Rune's eyes with an expectant look on her face, Seeing her expression, Rune was taken aback, she wasn't expecting to be subjected to such heavy curiosity the moment she stepped out.
"You are going to share all the details with your sisters, correct?"
Skyla questioned with the same cheeky smile on her face.
"D-Details?"
Rune stuttered in confusion.
"Come on Sister Rune, there is no point in trying to fool us. You are a cat kin, we all know cat kins are anything but innocent."
The playful maid then turned towards a certain cat woman and chuckled before shifting back to Rune, "So why don't you stop playing around and share the details of the time you spent with Nux? It is a tradition no one can escape.
We call this, 'The Talk'."
Skyla's smile widened as she made a grand gesture.
"Of course, you won't be alone, we will share details regarding our first times as well. That way..."
Skyla then moved close to Rune and whispered into her ears,
"You would get to know about Nux's weakness we all have explored over the centuries and will have a better time when you stand 'against' him.
You don't want to keep losing, do you?
We can help you win."
Skyla offered.
Obviously, her offer was rigged.
Her promises were false.
Despite knowing everything they did, no woman ever won, and with how monstrous Nux had gotten, the gap between them had widened ever further.
Of course, this wasn't something Rune needed to know for now.
Every woman smiled.
They were all waiting for Rune to fall for Skyla's words.
The innocent Rune mistook their smiles as a sign of cooperation. A collective mission to 'defeat' Nux, it was something she wanted to participate in as well, therefore, "A-Alright..."
She agreed.
She wanted to know everything as well.
The women's smiles widened.
Nux on the other hand, inwardly shook his head. He couldn't believe how his wives had trapped yet another one of their sisters into their trap.
He couldn't believe how shameless they had gotten.
Sometimes he even wondered where they got it from.
'Tsk tsk.'
Of course, there was nothing he could do here other than snort inwardly and lament. Soon, the innocent Rune will be one of them as well, so it is all right.
"Good Good."
Skyla nodded continuously, it was really easy to convince these young women these days.
The rest of the women only stared at her back.
'Is that because of her Law? How come every single one of us falls for her trick?' Vyriana wondered in her head as she narrowed her eyes.
Now that she was seeing everything from the sidelines, she couldn't believe that she had fallen for the same trick as well. Just how was that even possible?
'That girl must be using some sort of power.'
She concluded, not thinking about this anymore.
She didn't wish to recall her dark past.
"Shall we start then?" Skyla questioned with a big smile on her face and just as she was about to turn towards Nux and send him away, "Edda, create a room where time flow is slower than normal, the slower the better."
Nux spoke up.
"Alright." Edda nodded and with a wave of her hand, the room was created.
"Talk in there."
Nux spoke, pointing at the room.
Then, he turned towards Amaya, the one who would understand everything the quickest and, "Rune is now a Semi Saint, a 3000-year-old Semi Saint, Semi Saints aren't supposed to live that long, so her Cultivation Life Span is already over.
Right now, she can only live as long as a mortal, since her mortal age is around early 30s, she only has 40 years to live.
So make sure she stays in places where time flows slower till I become a Saint."
"I understand."
Amaya nodded.
Nux smiled, just as he thought, he could rely on his smartest wife anytime, "I also want you to stay next to her, 40 years is a short time, I don't want to take any risks."
"Leave everything to me." Amaya nodded reassuringly.
Nux nodded back, then, he turned towards the Eldraeth Progenitor and his smile turned perverted, It was time to taste the Progenitor.
But then,
"Nux, we need to talk.
This is urgent."
Vyriana spoke up with a solemn look on her face, interrupting his thoughts.
