’She’s strong, beautiful, and resourceful. She knows everything, she seems to be on your side, and has even prepared a meeting 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 attachment, 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 women too, even Amaya. After all, with how the women acted, they felt like the Seer had some 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 Supreme 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 women would have understood if Nux was just being cautious; it aligned with his nature. When someone 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 seemed 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 women 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 me.’ Nux started, and the rest of the women nodded; they felt the same. ’I felt like I had some sort of strong connection with her, possibly in the future.’ The women nodded again. ’Possibly, she will become one of my wives in the future.’ And again, the women nodded. Then suddenly, Nux returned to his Universe and appeared in front of his wives. "Tell me, what is it that I desire the most? My true goal, a goal I have been working for all this while?" "To become 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 something everyone knew. The end goal was the same 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 something 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 me 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 something so obvious. "Would any of you return to the time you didn’t meet me and change anything?" "No." Amaya was the first to answer. "My experiences were what made me and led to my encounter with you. I love who I am right now because I know you love me. I wouldn’t change that in any way." The other women nodded as well. They all thought the same. Then suddenly, Amaya realized what Nux was trying to say. "You do not trust her because she came to you?" "I know none of my wives would ever do. Even if you have the power to return to time, you would only do it if you have any regrets, and if you, as my wives, have any regrets, it means 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 me discredits her untold story." "But she did say she didn’t come from the future. What if she just saw the possibility of you and her being together and decided to come meet you? I know I might do that. I can see myself sabotaging my own future self if it means I get to meet and stay with you." Amaya spoke, declaring her love in a manner so messed 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 same time." Felberta answered, thinking of a scenario where she would do the same too. Discover hidden content at Freewebnovel 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 something I do not understand here and I believe it is the former." 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.
