YM778.TV Chapter 550 Nux... You Bastard...
"Hmm? Of course, I am. Can you even imagine any other man around Evane?
That silly girl is practically attached to that man.
I don\'t even understand how she goes from being a strict, cruel, and upfront ruler, to a girl who does nothing but smile as she stick to that man.
The transition is just too shocking."
Astaria sighed.
"A-A Cruel, Strict, and Upfront ruler?"
Arvina frowned.
She has seen that side where she just smiles while being spoiled by Nux, that side, she knows well.
But a Cruel Evane?
Was this some sort of joke?
"Hmm? You seem surprised."
Astaria frowned.
"That girl has been staying in the Academy, right? So you must already have some idea about her, don\'t you?" Astaria questioned.
"…"
Arvina didn\'t know what to say.
Seeing this, Astaria frowned,
"Arvina, speak freely, what are you thinking about?"
"W-Well… the Evane I know… s-she is completely different than Evane you are talking about…"
Astaria then started talking about how she views Evane and even gave some examples.
Hearing those words, Astaria frowned.
A person can change, however, it takes time to change their core values.
There is no such thing as instantaneous change.
A person can act differently, however, in the end, a keener person would realize something is missing.
She knew about Nux\'s Dual Cultivation.
The ability to strengthen women as they mate, it was absurd, however, since she saw the results with her own eyes, she knew it actually exists.
However, for Evane to change to this degree just because she gained power…
That seemed too far-fetched…
Suddenly, Astaria narrowed her eyes as she thought of another possibility,
\'Does that man somehow alter his women\'s personalities as well?
His women do seem abnormally attached to him…\'
Soon, however, Astaria shook her head.
She has spent a decent amount of time with that man.
His wives may be abnormally attached to him, however, was he any different?
Wasn\'t he as crazy about his wives as they were about him?
Sometimes, he even looks even crazier than his wives.
Then… then why did Evane change so drastically?
There was only 1 answer.
A person can only change to this degree if he witnesses or goes through something that shakes their entire core.
Evane has been targeted by the assassins twice. Was this an incident capable of shaking her entire core?
Normally, yes it was. However, in Evane\'s case, where a monster like Nux was always beside her, something like this should not affect her to this degree.
Then it only meant one thing…
Nux and Evane were hiding something…
Astaria\'s face turned solemn.
\'I need to ask that boy directly.\'
She made up her mind.
Her eyes then fell on Arvina who was lost in her own thoughts and suddenly, a strange question popped up in Astaria\'s mind.
"Do you think that man is behind her change?"
"Hmm? Nux? Yes, no, actually, I am sure it has something to do with him. That boy…
He has a strange power of making people think and see things from different angles… and then do something they never thought they would ever do…"
"Huh?" a frown appeared on Astaria\'s face as she noticed Arvina\'s strange expression.
"What are you talking about?"
"Haa? Huh? O-Oh, I meant, yes, that boy must be behind that change. Well, it is good for us and the Kingdom, and from what you are saying, it seems like Evane is happy as well, so it\'s a win-win."
Arvina answered with an awkward laugh.
Astaria, narrowed her eyes as she continued to glance at Arvina.
"Arvina."
She called.
"Y-Yes teacher?"
Arvina tilted her head in confusion.
"What do you think about Nux?"
"W-Well, he is an amazing student with exceptional talent. Not only that, he also has the will to learn things. He doesn\'t just rely on his talent and works hard.
He is a good student that every teacher would wish to teach, however,"
"However?" Astaria frowned.
"That man is a women magnet."
Arvina replied.
"Oh?" Astaria raised her eyebrow in curiosity.
"He is handsome, he is skillful and he is good with his words, he is everything a woman would look for in his dream partner, therefore, no matter where he goes, or what he does, he is always surrounded by women and do you know what\'s worse?
That shameless man would not run away from all this attention, he would rather enjoy it.
He would talk to all girls politely, sometimes he would talk to them with such a warm smile on his face that he would unknowingly steal those poor girls\' hearts.
However, even after all that attention, he would still go for women who clearly don\'t want any relationship with any other man and would pester them till they fall for them, then, he would disappear.
He can be very annoying."
Arvina explained.
"…"
Astaria, on the other hand, couldn\'t help but look at Arvina with a lost look on her face.
\'This girl…\'
Astaria realized.
This student of hers has fallen in love with that man…
And to make things worse,
"Arvina."
"Yes?"
"Do you like Nux?"
"Huh? Of course not, teacher. W-What are you talking about? Why would I like him? He is my student, I am her teacher. As her teacher and as a married woman, although I was forced to marry against my will and hate my husband to the core and hope he dies a gruesome death, which he would soon, how can I fall in love with my own student?
That is simply not possible. Please don\'t even joke like that.
I am not that kind of woman teacher.
And you know it as well."
"…"
Astaria didn\'t know what to say.
Just as she expected…
This student of hers…
She loves that man and to make things worse, she doesn\'t even realize it.
\'Nux… you bastard…\'
Astaria cursed in her mind.
"Arvina."
She called again.
"Hmm?"
"You are coming with me to the Royal Palace.
You will be staying there from now on.
It\'s not a request but an order, so don\'t even think about going against it."
"Huh!?"
