1176 I like that answer, Nux Leander
"Now this is sothing I definitely wasn't expecting, to think I would be visited by one of the most renowned figures of today's tis, I am pleasantly surprised."
Said a woman sitting upon a grand throne, draped in an imperial blue gown that perfectly complented her flowing blue hair. Her eyes, a srizing shade of azure, held a depth that seed to contain the vast skies themselves. She had white porcelain, with soft pink lips, her facial pictures were nothing short of perfect, the woman was a beauty.
A Beauty Nux had t a few tis before, today, however, he had finally visited her domain and... He wasn't having a good ti.
"I didn't think the cost of pleasantly surprising the Empress of the Empire of Eternity would be being surrounded by her guards pointing their weapons at ."
He spoke with his hands in the air and a nervous smile on his face. Nux could tell, a single mistake here would be enough to get his head rolling on the ground. He was in a dangerous, no, extrely dangerous situation.
"I am sure you weren't expecting to be greeted by flowers when you suddenly appeared right in the middle of the Imperial Hall passing through all the security asures as if they didn't exist, now were you?"
Aurelian Stillwalker, the Empress of the Empire of Eternity questioned with a small smile on her face.
"Should I have appeared in private instead?"
Nux chuckled playfully.
"You are quite bold."
Aurelian didn't seem offended by his words, rather, she was amused.
"I do get that a lot, Your Majesty."
Aurelian then waved her hand and with her slight gesture, all the guards surrounded Nux backed away, and then disappeared, Nux could finally breathe again.
"So, Nux Leander, why are you here?"
"I need Your Majesty's help."
"Oh? Is it regarding the Dragon Lord?" Aurelian had a rough guess in her mind.
After all, almost everyone in Yrniel now knew about the enmity between ExceedoGenesis and the Dragon Continent.
"If it is then let make this clear, the Empire of Eternity will be staying out of this matter and will not be choosing any sides and since I want you to save any further efforts, I can positively say that the other two Human Emperors are the sa.
We will not get involved in this matter, no matter what you try to offer."
Aurelian made it clear.
Nux was a human, yes, however, that didn't an this made him eligible for their help, especially since the enemies were the Dragons, one of the Strongest Races in the entire world. There was absolutely no reason to antagonize one of the strongest forces in the entire world just for the sake of a single person, a person who was not even part of their Empire.
Actually,
"The fact that I can simply capture you and offer you to Arcturus to gain his favor and am still not doing it can already be considered a favor."
"Well, that part was actually under my calculation," Nux replied.
"Hmm?" Aurelian tilted her head in confusion and Nux continued,
"The reason I decided to co to you instead of going to the other two Emperors was because I could feel that Your Majesty is different from others. She isn't soone who would offer to Arcturus just to gain a little favor from him. I an, no matter how you see it, that looks like bowing down to him and I highly doubt soone like Lady Aurelian would do sothing like that.
I just cannot picture that scene in my mind since the Aura lady Aurelian excludes doesn't match the picture."
"Alright, you can stop your false flattery, I have no intention of offering you to Arcturus, well, not until you sohow manage to piss off, that is."
"Your Majesty, never in my life have I pissed off a beautiful woman. I am sure I won't be making the first mistake here."
A small smile appeared on Aurelian's face, she was definitely enjoying having a chat with this monstrous prodigy, he definitely had a way with words. It was different compared to all that monotonous conversation she usually goes through the entire day.
"Well, as much as I am enjoying our conversation, I still need to ask, why are you here, Nux Leander? What is it that you want?"
"The Human Trials.
I wish to take the Human Trials."
Nux requested.
Then suddenly, Aurelian, who had been observing Nux for a while narrowed her eyes and,
"That's quite an interesting condition that you are in." She comnted.
"Did it happen when you were attacked by Arcturus's n? But how did this even happen? No, what even happened? Your Human Bloodline... why does it feel so weak...?
It is almost as if you are a Half Human...
And the worst part is that there is no 'other half' within your Blood.
How is that possible...?"
Aurelian couldn't understand. Honestly, she was so curious that she wanted to capture Nux and study the changes in his Bloodline, she, however, held herself back and glanced at the Human Prodigy in front of her, waiting for his answer.
Nux simply shrugged, "I only know that sothing happened to my Blood and now I am here to take the Human Trials to get... new Blood. I have tried all other thods, but this is the only viable thod that cos to my mind."
"Well, since it is a problem related to Blood, it should go away if you get a new Bloodline, but why a Human Bloodline? Why not choose any other Race? A Race that is stronger than ours."
"I do not feel the need to abandon my Human Blood, those who think that Human Blood is weak are simply fools and I wish to prove them wrong. It is the sa reason Lady Aurelian stayed a Human instead of changing her Bloodline."
Nux replied with a proud look on his face.
Of course, he didn't give a rat shit about human blood or any other Blood in general, he only needed strength, which Bloodline provided him that didn't matter.
Similarly, he didn't know whether Aurelian had the sa reasoning as his or she simply didn't get the chance to change her Bloodline, he just said what was required to impress the woman sitting in front of him to get what he wanted.
And his thod seed to have as a big smile appeared on Aurelian's face as she heard those words.
"I like that answer, Nux Leander."
