'She's strong, beautiful, and resourceful.
She knows everything, she seems to be on your side, and has even prepared a eting gift for you.
So Nux…
Why do you not trust her?'
Shadow questioned as she sensed Nux's distrust when he talked to her.
Yes, all the emotions Nux showed, the inexplicable attachnt, that connection, and whatnot, it was all an act.
During their entire conversation, never once did Nux's feeling of distrust disappear or even thin out. Rather, it continued to grow.
And this confused Shadow.
Not just her, it confused the rest of the won too, even Amaya.
After all, with how the won acted, they felt like the Seer had so sort of connection with Nux in the future. Possibly, she was, or in this case, would be one of his wives in the future.
She even appeared and stopped Nux from using the Relic that would alert the World of Eternity. She also didn't give in to the Supre Worlds' demand when they wanted her to find him and told him everything he wanted to know, or he could know.
Then why?
Why the distrust?
And why such apparent distrust?
The won would have understood if Nux was just being cautious; it aligned with his nature. When soone with so much power approaches him, regardless of their intentions, he is always cautious of them.
Heck, he is less cautious in front of his enemies than those who appear to be his allies. Even in front of Azriel, he had never once truly let his guard down. But this…
This seed different.
Nux wasn't being cautious of her like he usually is with Azriel, he was…
He was feeling emotions he would usually feel while dealing with an enemy. Even in the case of Vulpiana, when he was distrustful of her and planned everything out, he didn't feel such intense distrust.
It was almost as if…
'She plans to betray us.'
Nux answered, and the won all frowned in absolute confusion.
'How do you know that?'
Amaya questioned directly. After all, she didn't catch anything odd. Rather… she had started to… accept her.
Yes, if it wasn't for Nux's constant distrust that she felt, she might have already accepted that woman as her future sister.
'Maybe that is an oddity in itself?'
Amaya wondered in her head.
Right now, however, she was still confused. She wanted to know what made Nux think this way. She wanted to know what he saw that she didn't. She wanted to know what she missed.
'The way she talked, I felt like she knew .'
Nux started, and the rest of the won nodded; they felt the sa.
'I felt like I had so sort of strong connection with her, possibly in the future.'
The won nodded again.
'Possibly, she will beco one of my wives in the future.'
And again, the won nodded.
Then suddenly, Nux returned to his Universe and appeared in front of his wives.
"Tell , what is it that I desire the most? My true goal, a goal I have been working for all this while?"
"To beco so strong that no threat could hurt you or us and making it so that we live in this Universe for eternity with no being or entity bothering us."
Felberta answered.
This was sothing everyone knew.
The end goal was the sa since the very beginning, and it wasn't just Nux's goal alone, it was the goal they all shared.
Nux nodded at his first wife, then he continued,
"And if we do get what we desire,
What are we going to do next?"
"Live happily forever?"
Felberta answered.
This was sothing very obvious.
Did it sound boring?
They were with Nux, nothing around him was boring. They could spend eternity with him.
"And?"
Nux continued,
"What else?
No, let make this clearer,
What would you do once we get what we desire?"
"Stay together with you…?"
Felberta answered with a frown.
Not because she wasn't sure, but because she was confused as to why Nux was asking sothing so obvious.
"Would any of you return to the ti you didn't et and change anything?"
"No."
Amaya was the first to answer.
"My experiences were what made and led to my encounter with you. I love who I am right now because I know you love .
I wouldn't change that in any way."
The other won nodded as well.
They all thought the sa. Then suddenly, Amaya realized what Nux was trying to say.
"You do not trust her because she ca to you?"
"I know none of my wives would ever do.
Even if you have the power to return to ti, you would only do it if you have any regrets, and if you, as my wives, have any regrets, it ans that I failed as your husband."
Nux's eyes then shined brightly, and,
"And if there is one thing I am certain about, it is that I will never fail as a husband. I will always be the man who loves you the most, and I will shower you all with so much love that you will never hate anything about yourselves, even your traumas or regrets.
The very fact that she appeared in front of discredits her untold story."
"But she did say she didn't co from the future. What if she just saw the possibility of you and her being together and decided to co et you? I know I might do that.
I can see myself sabotaging my own future self if it ans I get to et and stay with you."
Amaya spoke, declaring her love in a manner so ssed up that one couldn't tell what's right and what's wrong anymore.
"There is also a possibility that we weren't able to get what we desired in one of the possible futures she saw and… decided to help you and get close to you at the sa ti."
Felberta answered, thinking of a scenario where she would do the sa too.
Nux, however, shook his head.
"What you are doing is putting yourself in her stead,
But…
You aren't her.
She is… a different form of existence.
And if what she says is true, then she is either lying, or there is sothing I do not understand here and I believe it is the forr."
Nux replied, and his wives just stared at him in silence.
None of them knew what he was trying to say, and Nux, who knew that, thought of a way to explain it.
