"Are you being trained by them, human?" Suddenly, Nux heard a question. He frowned, he was 100% sure that there was no one around him. He used his technique to sense his surroundings again, however, just like before, he couldn't sense anything. He was in this strange place, all alone. However, the moment Nux turned around, he saw that same white-haired man standing in front of him. Nux's expression changed. 'H-He… he avoided my Sense?' One had to know, even Orpheus couldn't do it. Nux knew this man was stronger than Orpheus, however, in the end, both of them were Divine Stage Cultivators. How could he… "You didn't answer my question, human. Are you being trained by them?" The man questioned again. "What are you talking about?" Nux questioned with a frown on his face. "Who are 'they'?" Hearing Nux's answer, the man frowned. "Did they tell you to hide it? Hmm? But why would they send you out? What about other students? Are you alone or did other students decide to come out as well?" The man questioned, however, soon, his expression changed, "You don't know what I am talking about, do you?" 'No shit Sherlock.' "Who is Sherlock?" The man questioned and Nux's eyes widened in horror. Seeing Nux's reaction, the man frowned, then, he understood. "Not even knowing where you are… You really aren't their student huh…" Muttering to himself, the man sighed. Then, he glanced at Nux again, and nodded, "I apologize, Human. I know you are confused, so let me explain a few things to you. First and foremost, My name is Alaric Sky, the King of the Blood Kingdom. The place you are in is your Mind space." Alaric then looked around, and corrected himself, "Well, it is our Mind Space, however, since I am a lot stronger than you, I dominate your Mind Space and control this space. The time outside is paused, or it can be said that the time here, moves infinitely faster compared to the time outside, making it seem like the time outside is paused. Anyways, you would feel a little tired once you leave this place, so don't be bothered, it would be fine after some rest. Also, don't think about stupid things here, I can actually read your most dominant thoughts. No, I cannot read your memory, so you do not have to worry about that, nor can I harm you here, since in truth, our actual body is still outside. I called you here because I wanted to ask some questions without anyone else interfering. Hmmm, I guess that answers most of your questions, right?" "I have a few more questions." Nux spoke. "Ask." "Who are these people you mentioned?" "What people?" "You guessed I was 'their' student. Who are 'they'?" Hearing his question, Alaric smiled playfully, "You sure are curious, Human." "I would like an answer, Your Highness." "I cannot answer that. I called you here by mistake, and I apologize for that. However, I cannot answer any of your questions." Saying those words, Alaric waved his hand, Nux's surroundings changed again and he returned back to Orpheus's room. Suddenly, Nux felt like his head was about to burst open, he tried to hold his head, however, he soon realized that his body had become weaker and he lost balance. "Nux!" Amaya, who was standing right next to Nux caught him and shouted in worry. His other women gathered around as well. Even Melia walked towards Nux with a worried look on her face. "Are you okay?" She questioned. Just nodded with a weak look on his face as he grasped for breath. On the other hand, Ambrosia glanced at her brother and narrowed her eyes, "Brother." She called out. "I had some things I needed to confirm." "So you forcefully entered his Mind Space?" Ambrosia raised her eyebrow. "He is the guest of our Bloodheart House, brother. Please refrain from your rash actions. You are countless times stronger than him, if you dominate his Mind Space like that, it might affect his future path and I would not allow you to do that." Ambrosia spoke with a serious look on her face. "I apologize for my rash actions." Alaric apologized. Nux's wives, who were glaring at Alaric narrowed their eyes. The man apologized, they couldn't ask for more. Honestly, even getting an apology from this man was too much, he was the strongest being here after all. This world ruled on strength, what could they even do if he decided to do it again? Nux held his wives, and then, he stood up. Alaric was right. He just needed a little rest, and with [Regeneration], he was already getting better. "Anyways, why are you here?" Suddenly, Ambrosia questioned. "To meet you of course," Alaric replied. "Don't joke around, brother. You wouldn't have called them if you were here just to meet them. Don't worry, I have already forgiven you. You can be honest now." Alaric looked into Ambrosia's eyes, and then, he smiled as he glanced at Melia. "I just wanted to meet the man my lovely niece chose." "Why are you framing it like that?" Melia frowned in confusion. "Hmm? You didn't choose him?" Alaric questioned. "I did. He showed me that he was better than me, I had to give in." Melia nodded. "But I have to say, for a Human to take away the most beautiful flower we Vampires have, it is a pity. The other Vampires would scratch their hairs till they fall off once they hear about this." "Hmm, I do plan to leave the Blood Continent, yes." Melia nodded again. "You seem very serious about this." Alaric was surprised. "Of course I am. This is for my own future." "Oooh? I didn't know you were so romantic. I thought Battling and getting stronger was the only thing you had in your mind, just like your father." Alaric commented and suddenly, "Romantic?" Melia frowned. "Huh?" Seeing her frown, Alaric frowned as well. "Huh?" "Huh?" "Huh?" The rest of the people frowned as well.
