'And this has been going on for more than 100 years…' Lyriana trembled as she rembered the words she said before, 'How do I know that you are not fooling ? It won't be the first ti you did it. Maybe you do not have a way to make stronger and are just buying ti until you do.' To think she would say those things when his mind is already pressured by an enemy who is after him and his wife…
Lyriana wasn't a fool. She knew helping her wasn't easy. She was already recognized by the Universe. In the Universe's eyes, she was an insignificant Incomplete Divine without a Law, her potential was severely limited. What she wanted Nux to do was to sohow help her rebuild her foundation, turning her from an Incomplete Divine to a Complete one, and that too, giving her a chance to form a Law. She was pretty much asking for a second life. What she wanted was even possible! It was an absurd request that anyone else would not only decline but would also call her crazy for expecting sothing like it. But…
Not only did that man accept her request without judging her, he even returned with a thod. 'I am not going back on my word, I am simply saying it would take ti.'
He said it would take ti, he said he cannot help her right now and it all made sense now. Even if there was a thod, that thod was sothing that went against the Universe, the entire Universe would be in chaos if he used that thod. How much attention would he attract if he pulled sothing like that? Even if she knew next to nothing about the World beyond Yrniel and how Outer Space worked, Lyriana could guess that the answer was a lot of it. Especially that being who was strong enough to hurt Riona and force Lane into hiding all when Nux was with them, There was a high chance Nux would attract that being's attention if he did what she wanted…
What Lyriana wanted him to do would not only put his life in danger, it would also threaten his wives and even her…
Nux just wanted to sohow deal with this enemy before helping her…
He was only thinking of a way that was safest for everyone… that too, during the ti when he should already be boiling in anger, frustration, and at the sa ti, feeling a sense of helplessness…
Lyriana could tell what Nux must have been feeling all this ti… for more than 100 years…
And to think she would make selfish demands during this ti…
Lyriana clenched her fists. Recalling Nux's eyes when he looked at her that day, Eyes that she felt were expressing his anger…
Now that she looked back and recalled those eyes again… she was able to see the helplessness veiled behind his anger and the mont she saw that, Lyriana felt like her entire world crumbled. Hate…
She was hating herself for what she did…
To lash out at the only person who saw her as more than a washed-up, crazy old woman, the only one who reached out with a helping hand when no one else would…
Not to ntion she did so when he was probably at the lowest point of his life when the people he loved the most were under a threat and he was unable to help them…
The more she thought about all this, the more she blad herself. "Stop thinking about it, you didn't know the whole situation, it is not your fault." Eisheth, who could tell what the woman was thinking about reassured her. "…that doesn't excuse what I did. I had no right to lash out at him like that, even if I didn't know anything, I was still in the wrong. I made an absurd request and didn't have enough patience to wait for him… my actions scream that I didn't trust him from the beginning…
I didn't trust the only person trying to help …" Lyriana couldn't even lift her face anymore. "You were just desperate. It is normal to montarily lose yourself in desperation." "You didn't," Lyriana spoke up. "You were in the sa situation as , you know there is a level beyond, a level you cannot reach, you must have been desperate as well, but you didn't act like ." "I was never desperate." Eisheth however, shook her head. "W-Wha-" Lyriana couldn't understand. "There is a world beyond the world, a mountain beyond the mountain. Who knows what's beyond what we know? I was never the strongest anyway, I simply accepted that fact." A small smile then appeared on Eisheth's face and, "I am a coward, Lyriana. Unlike the brave you, who is prepared to go against your fate, who has been trying to go against her fate, I gave in a lot earlier, So the reason you are in this position is because you are better than .
There is no reason for you to feel low. In a journey where no one trusted you, you finally found soone who does. You lashed out at him because you considered him soone close to you.
It's easy for you to let your guard down around him, to show him your raw emotions, even the ones you try to hide from the rest of the world. You felt comfortable enough to let out your anger, frustration, and pain that you have been holding onto for thousands of years, in front of him because you trust him. That's what we do with people who an sothing to us; we reveal our truest selves, For better… or worse." "Soone… close to …?" Lyriana muttered those words out loud with a confused look on her face. Eisheth, who saw her face, smiled inwardly. 'Heh. I wonder what reward I can ask in return for this.'
Indeed, the Succubus Queen was no different from her daughter. Just like how Aisha slowly 'corrupted' her mother, the mother was now doing the sa thing with another woman. Sure, Eisheth had her own reason for choosing Lyriana, the two of them were kind of in the sa position, she felt a sense of comradery with her, but in the end, she was still doing all this for the 'rewards', that couldn't be denied. Right now, however, Eisheth knew that there was still a lot of work left, the woman was too passive, her head was too straightforward, intense and diligent to understand hints. "Yes. You lashed out at him because you feel safe around him. Sure, things got out of hand because of his situation, but what is more important is that you realized what you did. You can still make things right." "I can…?" Lyriana replied as she slowly turned her head towards the Succubus Queen. "Of course you can. Actually, you can do more than just make things right." Suddenly, a scheming smile appeared on Eisheth's face and, "In the end, whatever happened ultimately happened because Nux reacted much differently than he normally would, sure, he had his reasons, but you didn't know about that. It wasn't your mistake either yet he still lashed out at you, If you go to him, you can not only make things right again, You can even ask for more."
"More…?" Lyriana tilted her head. "Indeed." Eisheth nodded. Soon, however, she shrugged, "Well, not now, He is currently with Riona, then it is our turn, so it would still take him a few decades before he leaves our clutches." Eisheth spoke as he licked her lips. No matter how much she wanted to help this woman, there was no way she was going to give up on her turn. After all, she still needed to take her revenge. Thinking about it, Eisheth's purple shined with intense, unhidden lust, her face heating up in an instant, And Lyriana, who saw her condition, only continued to stare at the woman in silence, No one knew what the Elven Queen was thinking.
