Chapter 318 A clear path "What about Arvina? What would you do with the Teacher who betrayed you?" Ember questioned. Nux's face turned solemn and he answered, "I will kill her as painlessly as possible." "You will kill her?" Ember raised her eyebrow. "Yes, I will." Nux didn't back down. "This is your teacher we are talking about." "That is the reason why her death will be painless." "...what about the rest of the people who attacked you?" "They should prey that they had died due to other reasons before I became strong enough to go after them." Nux answered with a cold expression on his face. "..." Ember looked at Nux for a while and then, and then she nodded her head in agreement. "Good, good, you did not disappoint me." Nux smiled back, "Well, I won't let my enemies live, I am not a fool. However, I will say, I don't see this happening. I am sure that Teacher Arvina would not betray me." "I hope that is the case." Ember smiled. "Heh. I feel like we have become a lot closer after this conversation." Nux commented with a playful smile on his face. Ember looked at Nux and narrowed her eyes, "Do you really feel that way? Because to me, rather than a conversation, it feels more like me interrogating you. You didn't ask anything and continued to answer my questions" "Don't worry, I am getting a lot of answers," Nux answered with a small smile on his face. "Huh? What does that mean?" Ember frowned. However, instead of answering, Nux just continued to smile as he looked at Ember's face. "Well, if you are satisfied then I don't have any problems either." Ember shook her head. "Indeed, Also, it is not like it is our first and last time talking alone like this, right?" Nux smiled. Ember looked at Nux for a while and then, she smiled as well, "Indeed, it won't be the last time." "Alright then, since you said that we are closer to each other, let me ask more complicated questions." Ember muttered. "Being greedy I see." Nux smiled. "I would like it if you term it as saving time." "Oh well, ask what you want." Nux nodded and suddenly, the air around the room turned heavy. Nux's eyes fell on Ember and he saw that all that playfulness was now gone and was replaced by a solemn expression. "How did you know that the Deathspike Trap was activated during the War." Ember questioned. "Secret." Nux, however, shook his head and did not reply. Ember nodded and then continued, "What about the number of soldiers inside the Fort, how did you know about that?" "Secret." "Where did you come from when I barged into your tent?" Ember had heard Thyra's words and that was enough for her to deduce that at that moment, Nux had just returned from somewhere. This made her curious about where Nux went, however, "Secret." Ember's lips twitched in annoyance. "What is your relationship with Thyra." "Lovers, soon-to-be husband and wife." This time, Nux finally answered. Ember sighed in relief. He wasn't playing with her, he was still serious about answering her questions. "Why are you making advances towards me then?" She questioned. As a General leading an entire army, she was very perceptive of her surroundings and people's feelings. It would be idiotic to think that she wouldn't catch on, especially with so many hints throughout their conversations. Nux was trying to approach her, Ember knew it and therefore, she was curious about the reason, however, "Secret." Nux smiled. 'AAAGGHHHHH!!' Ember screamed inwardly. 'Secret! Secret! Secret! Is he playing with me!?' She was frustrated. She was angry. And as if sensing her emotions, Nux muttered, "About your last question," Ember came out of her reverie and focused on his next words. Nux smiled, he then moved his face close to Ember's and whispered. "You will know it soon. Very soon." Ember clenched her fist and a vein popped on her head. This boy was annoying. She really wanted to hit him right now, however, she controlled herself. "Alright, we have been talking with each other for a long time now. I think you are tired now. You should go back and have a good rest." Seeing her acting like that, Nux smiled. Then, he nodded and stood up. "Alright then, my dear friend Ember, I will take my leave now." Ember nodded. "I am looking forward to our next meeting, My dear friend Ember~" Nux muttered and then, he left. Ember sighed in relief as he left her tent and Nux, well, he had a big smile on his face. Today, he gained a lot. The biggest reward he got today was the Path. The Path to Ember's heart. He could now see it clearly. "Took you long enough. What were you two doing? And why are you smiling like that?" As soon as Nux entered his tent, he saw Thyra looking at him with an extremely jealous look on her face. Seeing her face, Nux smiled and then he pulled her petite body into his embrace. A small smile appeared on Thyra's face as she felt Nux patting her head gently. She hugged him back and closed her eyes. Seeing that she has calmed down, Nux finally answered her question. "Something good happened." "What? Did you find something good while experimenting with your [Sense] ability?" Thyra questioned and suddenly, Nux turned silent. "Shit..." He cursed. "What happened?" Thyra frowned. "..." Nux didn't answer. Thyra narrowed her eyes and questioned, "What happened, Nux?" "I... I forgot to experiment on my ability..." Thyra's lips twitched. ... "Ahem... Ember my closest friend~~" Nux sang politely. "Huh? You are back? Why so quick?" Ember frowned. "Umm... I need you to do something for me..." Nux muttered. "What is it?" "Can you go stand in that corner and hide?" "Huh?" "Don't ask too many questions, just do it. Please?" "Whatever." "Thank you~" Nux smiled and Ember stood up. Then, Nux tested the limits of his [Sense] according to his women's instructions.
