Chapter 1972 The only memories I vividly recall are the times when you were naked. Click The doors opened again, and someone walked in. Step Step A playful smile appeared on Nux's face as he expected his wife, soon however, he frowned. This didn't… sound like Allura's footsteps… It belonged to someone else. Curious, Nux turned around and then, his eyes fell on Lyriana. Her long silver hair were tired up in a bun, her usually expressionless face seemed a bit flustered, her clean, white skin had a tinge of red that she was desperately trying to hide, but was failing miserably. The elf was wearing a black chemise nightgown, the gown was loose and unfitted, yet it barely hid her hourglass body. Gulp At this sight, Nux couldn't help but gulp. Her messy bun gave her a different look compared to her usual, calm and complete one, the red on her face couldn't make her more adorable. And that gown… That thing was not doing a good job of a piece of cloth, cleavage, Nux could still understand, but the gown barely went below her hipline, barely hiding anything. It was almost as if she was trying to tease Nux. All his attention was on the woman's legs. "What are you doing here…?" Nux questioned directly. Lyriana walked forward, Nux's eyes remained on her legs, something she noticed, and her face turned even redder. For some reason, the air in the bathroom turned dense, more and more water vapours condensed, and light white mist was formed, somewhat hindering the two's vision. As she got close to the bathtub, her hands trembled. "Allura sent me." She answered, her voice more than flustered. There was no trace of her usual expressionless self here, how could it be? She was inside a bathroom with another man, a friend's husband to boot and he was naked, only wearing underwear. Nux raised his eyebrow. "Oh?" Nux raised his eyebrow. "I-I said something that hurt her, so she told me to do this if I really didn't mean what I said and wish to apologize." "Ah. You are apologizing, alright." Nux nodded in realization. Then, with a light smile on his face, he questioned, "So what is she making you do?" The Former Queen didn't answer that question, rather, she picked up the scrub and glanced at Nux. He understood, he then grinned and nodded. Lyriana nodded back and with a flustered look on her face, she crouched next to him and dipped the scrub into the bathtub before she started lightly scrubbing Nux's body. She started with his right shoulder, then the arm, before she returned and started scrubbing his waist and went all the way down, quickly scrubbing his leg. All this while she did it, never once did Nux look away from her, his stare only made her even more nervous and in nervousness, she increased her speed. Quickly scrubbing Nux's left leg before coming from the other side and scrubbing his left arm. "You missed the shoulder." Nux muttered with a playful look on his face and like a timid cat, Lyriana's body trembled as she quickly started scrubbing his left shoulder. "Not this one, the right one." Nux smiled, in an attempt to hide her embarrassment and nervousness, Lyriana overextended her body and tried to scrub his right shoulder, but then, She slipped. Her instincts kicked in and she rolled midair, trying to regain her balance and stand away, but then, Nux grabbed her, pulling her into the bathtub. "Are you okay?" He questioned with a playful look on his face as he placed the Former Queen right in his arms. "I-I was fine." "Was?" Nux titled his head. "So you are not fine right now?" He questioned directly and the woman started looking around. She was nervous first because she was in a bathroom, together with her friend's husband and was scrubbing his body. All that could still be explained in somewhat messed up sense, but now… Now she was in this man's bathtub and her clothes were all wet. Nothing could possibly explain this, especially not the story of her *slipping*. She was a Sovereign for God's sake! A Complete Sovereign with an Absolute Law! This was not fine at all! She tried to get up and move away, Nux however, tightened his hug around her body and pulled her in, now she was even closer to his body. In their struggle, the water spilled, the white mist in the bathroom strengthened. However, with how close the two of them currently were, it didn't seem to matter, they could stare at each other very clearly. Lyriana looked into Nux's eyes, she was very flustered right now and wanted nothing more than to leave. And Nux… He knew exactly what he wanted as well. So he held on, making sure the woman had nowhere to go. He tightened his hug around her, pulling her even closer, "Nux…" Lyriana tried to resist but then, "You know what I want, don't you?" Nux questioned directly, his eyes looking right into her crystal blue eyes. "…" At those words, Lyriana turned silent, not saying anything. She even stopped resisting since she knew it was pointless. Nux was monstrously strong when he was a Sovereign, now that he was a Primordial, there was absolutely no way she could resist him. "I have already made my intentions clear thousands of times, it is you who is holding back. Why? Are you still angry at how I enslaved you back then? Again, I apologize for what I did, I only did it because I had no other way out." Nux muttered in a low voice, but since they were so close, Lyriana could hear it clearly. She looked into his eyes and, "…you have already read my memories; you should know I already forgave you. You have done more than enough to make up for it." She answered. "Then is it about the time I lashed out in the Cosmocraft?" "…Nux, you read my memories." Lyriana answered, looking into Nux's eyes, this time, with a serious look on her face. She didn't like how Nux was playing this game when he should already know everything. "The only memories I vividly recall are the times when you were naked."
