944 We just need to break that trust again and again. "As I said, Lady Willow is far more unfathomable than you think, 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺 Let alone someone who is 'loyal' to Felix, even Ivy, the woman the Lord loved, was planted by Lady Willow to seduce and later keep an eye on the City Lord. Ivy was Lady Willow's subordinate." Aragorn revealed. "!!!" Rune's eyes widened in surprise. "It was actually Ivy who tried to use Blackheart to weaken the City Lord, however, the City Lord somehow found that out. Then, he somehow learned that Lady Willow was the one behind everything, feeling betrayed, he decided to attack Lady Willow, however, she was prepared and used the Artifact to run away." Aragorn explained. "How do you know all this? I don't think this is something just anyone would know." Nux questioned with a frown on his face. "My mother was the one who was ordered to keep an eye on Ivy, so she knew about her mission and no, don't try to ask where my mother is, she was killed by Lady Willow when Ivy failed." "…" Rune didn't know what to say. Her mother… she was much more terrifying than she originally thought. "Do you know Willow's actual plan? What does she intend to do after Felix becomes the successor?" Nux questioned. Aragorn suddenly panicked, "I really don't know that! That plan was never revealed to me! Even Leo might not know the details of that plan! Lady Willow didn't trust anyone completely, the only person who knows the details of this plan are Lady Willow and Felix! I really do not know anything! I am not lying! Please! Believe me!" He was desperate and horrified. He knew things wouldn't end well if he offended this man and seeing as how he couldn't answer his question, he feared that he might have to go through that agonizing pain again. "Stop lying, Aragorn. We are not going to fall for it again. It would be better for you to tell everything you know." Rune spoke as she narrowed her eyes. Aragorn was terrified, "I a-" "He is not lying, Lady Rune." Nux spoke up, this time standing by Aragorn's side. "He cannot lie. My Seal I cast on his picks when he is lying, and when he does, the pain triggers automatically. If he was lying, he would be screaming in agony like before." Nux explained and Aragorn's body trembled in fear. Just understanding what kind of situation he was stuck in was so horrifying that Aragorn couldn't imagine what his future would be like. Rune, on the other hand, couldn't comprehend the extent of Nux's abilities. This had too many cards in his hands. Just how... Who was he? She wondered, however, in the end, she decided not to think about it and focused on the current situation, "How should we continue from here? Father was not lying, mother was the real culprit, however, from what he says, mother is not a simple woman, I refuse to believe her plan was so simple, we need to get to the bottom of this but Felix won't talk." Rune voiced out the current problem. Seeing Nux's resourcefulness, she started to unconsciously rely on him, probably more than she would like to. "It is not a big problem, don't worry." Nux smiled. Then, he glanced at the cell Felix was trapped in and, "Felix isn't willing to say anything because he still believes Willow's words and does not trust Lord Oberon. We just need to break that trust." "How are we going to do it in the limited time? You aren't thinking of just taking Aragorn in front of him and making him tell all the truth, right? In the current state Felix is in, he would probably not believe him and would say that we are threatening Aragorn to say all those words." Rune replied. "Well, then we just need to break that trust again and again." Nux shrugged. "How are…" Rune wanted to ask, then, however, her expression changed. "His wife…" She realized. "His wife, that butler, and I am sure there must be more we don't know about, I will bring them all in front of his eyes and make them confess what they know. I refuse to believe that Willow's every subordinate is a Saint Stage Cultivator like Leo." Nux spoke. There was no point in using the Mystic Parasite couldn't against a Saint, even if it devours half of his Cultivations, the Saints were so strong that half of their cultivation was still a Saint. Only an Initial Stage Saint falls to the middle Stage Semi Saint realm, and of course, Slaves Seal couldn't be used on Semi Saints. Right now, Nux can only get Semi Saints or lower-level cultivators under the Slave Seal's effect. "We need Father's help for that." "That we do, so go to Lord Oberon, tell him to free Aragorn, and," Nux listed out the next steps of action. Rune nodded, then, she turned around and walked away. Melia then passed the box she used to carry the Mystic Parasite to Nux and, "You can control the Parasite using this box." Nux glanced at Melia and kissed her lips, "Thank you for your help, my love." Melia blushed as she kissed back, they didn't have time so it was only a short kiss. With a slightly regretful look on her red face, Melia formed a Portal and walked away. 'Don't worry, soon, I'll be thanking you plenty.' Nux spoke with a smile on his face before the Portal closed. Melia's face turned even redder, she quickly closed the Portal, hiding in embracement. "Hahaha~" Nux couldn't help but laugh out loud. His Vampire was just too cute. … "Have you decided?" On the other side, Oberon, who was looking at Rune questioned with a cold look on his face. "I trust Father's words," Rune replied. "Wise decisi-" Oberon spoke with a small smile on his face. "However," Rune wasn't done. Oberon narrowed his eyes. "Felix is still against it." "That chil-" "I need your help, Father." Rune cut Oberon off again. Oberon was annoyed, however, seeing Rune's eyes, he decided to give her a chance, "What do you need?" "I know your side of the story is the actual truth and that mother is fooling Felix. Mother has a plan and Felix knows that plan, if we get Felix on our side, we can use it to our advantage." "It doesn't matter. That plan is based on me being weakened by the Blackheart, that won't happen, so that woman's plan is completely useless." Oberon spoke with a cold look on his face. "But what if we use Felix to catch the enemy by surprise and deliver a crippling blow to their very foundation? I am not just talking about Mother alone, But the Skythorn Falcon City that is behind her as well." Rune spoke and Oberon's expression finally changed.
