"You did get my ssage, right?"
"Mhm, don't worry, I won't do anything reckless, if she approaches , I'll get myself involved, if she does not, I will just let it be."
"Amusing and smart, I like it." Eisheth smiled.
"I am just collecting brownie points for my future goals," Nux spoke as he glanced at Eisheth's body with a perverse look on his face.
"Heh, you are the first man I have warned so many tis yet you don't take seriously." Eisheth shook her head and sighed.
"Am I being too easy on you?" Eisheth muttered with a slight frown on her face.
"Hahaha~"
Nux laughed out loud.
"Don't worry, everyone feels like that when they interact with , people find quite likable, you know? Especially won."
"A pervert."
Eisheth comnted.
"I wouldn't deny that." Nux simply shrugged.
"Anyways, now that we are done with Rune, let talk about the main reason I am here.
Where is she?"
Suddenly, Nux questioned with a serious look on his face.
Eisheth's smile disappeared as well.
"I don't think it is right for you to et her right now."
"Hm?"
Hearing her response, Nux frowned in confusion.
"What do you an? Did sothing happen to her?"
"She just chose her path and needs ti to figure herself out."
"Chose her path?"
"As I said, it is not appropriate for you to et her right now."
"The way she left has worried, it was as if she was suffering from sothing. I knew she needed so ti so I didn't follow her, however, I believe I have given her enough ti, I wish to see her now and ask if everything is alright."
"Do you really think you would be able to help my daughter if it is sothing even I cannot solve?" Eisheth questioned as she looked into Nux's eyes.
"There are things I can do that you cannot." Nux didn't back down and replied.
Eisheth observed Nux's expression for a while, then, she just sighed,
"Don't worry, nothing happened. She just doesn't wish to et you right now. As I said, give her so ti."
Eisheth replied.
"Have I done sothing that has saddened her?"
Nux questioned.
Honestly, Nux wasn't a fool.
He had an inkling about what it was all about.
He was not oblivious to the feelings Aisha has for him. However, he had turned her down decently as soon as he realized that. He had made his feelings clear, of course, he would understand if Aisha was acting like this because of his answer.
However, if that was the reason behind it, then Aisha should have reacted like that a lot earlier than this. Heck, she wouldn't even have co and ford a clan with him.
Why was she acting like that right now?
Nux felt like there was sothing else, sothing he didn't know about.
That was why he was here.
"Nux, as I said, she has just chosen the path she wanted to take. In other words, she has taken her first step towards maturity and it is a brave step as well.
You have not done anything, I just ask you to give her so ti."
Eisheth spoke with a serious look on her face.
"…" Nux turned silent.
"Do not worry, I can't believe I am saying this, but I will take care of your friend, who, if you forgot, also happens to be my daughter."
In the end, Nux gave in,
"Then I will leave my friend to you, Lady Eisheth. I will be sending a trustworthy King Stage Cultivator later, if anything happens, please tell him to inform and I will be here in that instant."
Nux spoke as he stood up.
"Heh."
Eisheth just laughed out loud.
"Are you leaving?" She questioned.
"I have been racking my brain to find an excuse to stay, but I don't have any.
Of course, if you have an excuse for to stay, I'll stay."
Nux replied with a playful smile.
"Don't flatter yourself."
Eisheth chuckled.
In the end, Nux just sighed, then, a portal appeared in front of him and,
"I hope we need again soon, Lady Eisheth.
If you miss too much and it gets too much to handle, please do not bear it, just call and I will be here, even if you don't have an excuse."
Saying those words, Nux quickly rushed into the Portal, as if he was scared that Eisheth would attack him.
Once he left, Eisheth couldn't help but chuckle,
"He is quite daring."
Rislith, who appeared out of nowhere comnted.
"Oh? You were here all this ti?" Eisheth seed surprised.
"Please do not act, Mother, both he and you knew I was here." Rislith knew her limits.
"It is not good to peek into your mother's conversation, you know?"
"It is not like you two were talking about sothing inappropriate, were you?" Rislith shot back.
Eisheth raised her eyebrow in surprise,
"Oh? What is this? Are you trying to copy how he talks?"
"Mother seems to like it, so decided to try it," Rislith replied.
"That bastard, he is corrupting my daughters." Eisheth clenched her fist,
"Let him co next ti, I shall teach him what pain feels like."
Then, she glanced at Rislith and,
"And you, do not copy him. You are not a child."
"As you say, mother."
Rislith smiled aningfully.
"Anyways, what are you going to do about Aisha's request?"
Rislith questioned.
Hearing that question, Eisheth furrowed her brows and a troubled expression appeared on her face,
"She is putting in a difficult spot."
Eisheth comnted.
"She seems pretty determined about it. It has been 3 and a half months already."
"I'll keep an eye on her for a few more days, then I will just have to give in."
"It will cost us a lot."
Rislith comnted.
"And what would you have done?" Eisheth questioned back.
Rislith turned silent.
Did she even have to answer?
Of course, she would have done the sa.
Aisha wasn't the apple of everyone's eyes in just words.
That girl has her 2 elder sisters and a mother simping for her at every one of her moves.
An unfair advantage indeed.
