Chapter 73 Troubles?
Being a Head Maid of the Royal Palace comes with its own perks. Since you are a head maid, you aren\'t anyone\'s personnel maid and you don\'t have to be ready to serve them 24/7.
After 9 in the night, the head maid is free of her duties and is even allowed to leave the Royal Palace.
Of course, just like Edda, most of the head maids in the past had already given their life to the Palace and don\'t have anything to do even after they are free of their duties.
Therefore, they stay just in the room that is given to them by the Palace.
Today, however, it was different for the current head maid of the Royal Palace.
Just as her work ended, Edda rushed outside and left the castle.
Walking a little more, she arrived at the assigned site and a big smile appeared on her face when she saw the person she has been yearning to see for a long time standing right in front of her.
"As always, you look stunning, my perverted maid"
Nux complimented with a smile.
"I am not a per- thank you…"
Edda wanted to retort to his remark but she soon remembered what she did last night and just accepted the compliment, ignoring the pervert part.
Seeing that she was not refusing him calling her a pervert, Nux smiled before he extended his hands towards her.
Edda smiled as well and the two then sat inside the carriage Nux booked beforehand.
This time, their destination was The New Malia City, no, there is nothing special about the city, Nux just thought that he shouldn\'t book the same inn every day since his partner is the head maid of the Royal Palace.
Also, he still hasn\'t seen many places in this world so this was a good chance to see more.
However, unlike last time, when he was very excited when he left the capital, this time, his face had a solemn look.
Edda wanted to question what happened but he just raised his hand and told her to wait.
...
"Stop the carriage"
As the carriage entered a deserted alleyway, Nux ordered the driver to stop.
"What happened?" Edda questioned again.
"Two Master stage Cultivators are following us, both of them are stronger than you"
Nux informed, he had already sensed that these 2 people were following them, more precisely Edda as he only noticed them when Edda appeared.
He did not take action since they were still in the capital and the person behind them might send some more later.
Therefore, he waited…
Waited until he reached a deserted alleyway like this one…
Also, he will admit that it did feel really good acting all-knowing like those novel protagonists.
"Wait for me here, I will deal with them"
While Edda was panicking, she heard Nux\'s voice.
"What can you do!? You are just an adv-"
She wanted to retort but then remembered the speed he showed her this morning and decided to stay silent.
She knew he was a lot stronger than a normal Advance Stage Cultivator.
Nux then activated his [Conceal] before he leisurely walked out of the carriage and walked into one of the houses.
Then he entered a room and saw a man covered in black, looking outside through a window, clearly having no idea that one of his \'targets\' is standing right behind him.
[Name: Colby Wilton]
[Age: 55 ]
[Mana Cultivation: Master.]
[Body Cultivation: Mortal. ]
[Race: Human ]
[Occupation: Assassin of Marquees Bannermane House]
[Talent: Medium]
[LVL: 36]
[HP: 280/280]
[MP: 390/390]
[STR: 44]
[AGL: 44]
[VIT: 46]
[STM: 42]
[INT: 62]
[DEF: 39]
…
\'Bannermane House…\'
Noting that name, he chopped the back of his neck with his hand, causing the man to lose his consciousness.
Nux then reactivated his [Conceal] and walked into another house, doing the same with another man.
He noticed that he was an assassin of another house, the Hardwick house which was also a marquees house.
He then dragged his body into the room where he dealt with another assassin before he walked towards the carriage and called Edda.
Edda just couldn\'t believe how calmly and leisurely \'Dio\' dealt with these two assassins, it was as if they couldn\'t even see him!
"They are from Bannermane and Hardwick house; do you know why these two marquees\' houses are after you?" Nux questioned.
"How do you know these two are from those houses? I am sure that they would never tell you that even if they are dead" Edda questioned in shock.
Nux then pointed at his golden eyes as he muttered,
"I can see everything with these eyes, I don\'t need them to tell me that"
In the darkroom, Nux\'s golden eyes shined, Edda was enchanted by their beauty and was brought back by Nux\'s question.
"So? Do you know why these two marquees\' houses are after you?"
"I do, these two houses want to get close to the royal harem through me."
Nux was shocked when he heard her, wasn\'t their goal similar to his? Nux felt weird when he thought about it as he muttered.
"You must be very loyal to the kingdom, huh... You are refusing them to the extent they even sent assassins after you. I am sure they must have promised you some benefits before."
"Hmph! Loyal my ass!"
"Hmm? Didn\'t the palace provide you with everything you have right now? Shouldn\'t you be loyal to them?" Nux questioned.
"Things aren\'t as simple as you think, Dio. Did I not say I don\'t know who my father was? That was not because he died too early, it was just that…"
Edda didn\'t need to say anymore. Nux also understood what she meant and stayed silent, however, a question arose in his mind.
"Then how di-"
"I just rose in ranks too quickly. My body was still not fully mature so they decided to wait. They just failed to calculate that I would become a head maid so soon therefore I was saved" Edda replied.
"And could give my first time to you…" She then muttered with a small smile on her face.
