"Alright, fire all the servants who work here, I will bring my own people here,"
Nux ordered while he and his wives walked around Eliya- Nux's new mansion.
"As you command, Master."
Behind them, Nux's most loyal slave walked with his head bowed.
"Hmm, finally those people would have a place to live, they aren't doing any good while staying with Bannermane and Hardwick."
Thyra smiled.
"Indeed. Those assassins would be moving a lot now, tell them to be prepared."
"Don't worry, I will make sure they don't slack off."
Thyra nodded.
"Also, which is the most lavish room in this Mansion?"
Nux questioned.
"That would be mine, Master."
"Yeah, that would be mine now."
"Yes, Master.
I would make sure to change the curtains, bedsheets, no, I would just change the whole bed and would… umm…"
Eliyard then looked around and muttered,
"I would make sure to place the largest bed possible inside that room."
"…"
The whole area turned silent.
"Mhm, Nux, I like this new Slave of yours, you Pass."
Edda gave a thumbs up.
"I thank you for your praise, Lady umm…"
"Edda."
"Yes, Lady Edda."
Eliyard bowed respectfully.
"See that? Cowards really are the best, aren't they?"
Ember whispered into Nux's ears.
"Indeed."
Nux nodded with a satisfied look on his face.
This all started after Eliyard experienced that hellish pain after he tried to run away.
Mind you, the pain that the Slave Seal inflicts was so strong that even someone like Thyra had no choice but to give up, a coward like Eliyard didn't even stand a chance of resisting it.
And as someone who fears pain more than his life, Eliyard made a point to not betray his Master for the rest of his life.
And that, was how the most Loyal Slave to ever exist in this world was born.
"Huh? Teacher?"
While Nux and the others were exploring their new mansion, a familiar person appeared in front of them.
"What are you doing here?"
Candice narrowed her eyes when she saw Nux.
Nux, however, completely ignored her words and turned towards Eliyard.
"What is she doing here?"
"S-She is my student, so she has the right to live in my mansion."
"Well, not anymore, kick her out."
Nux ordered.
Eliyard nodded and then walked towards Candice.
"Candice, you should leave. You are not allowed to live here any longer."
"Huh? Why?"
Candice frowned.
"Because I said so. Now leave."
"But according to the rule-"
"Yes, I, as the Headmaster of the Academy have made a new rule, that you, aren't allowed to stay here.
Now leave."
Eliyard ordered.
There were no signs of his previous tamed behavior, now he looked like the old headmaster again.
"That is quite a transformation."
Felberta commented.
"Indeed."
Nux nodded with a smile on his face.
Enjoying the show that was happening in front of him.
"My father will know about this."
Candice threatened in a solemn tone.
"A father who is merely a Marquee? You think I care about him? Trust me, child, if even 10 of your fathers were to come at me, nothing would be changed.
Now leave.
Also, keep in mind, do not call yourself my student anymore."
"…"
Candice didn't say anything, however, with how moist her eyes were, it was clear that she was affected by her tea- past teacher's words. Momentarily, her eyes fell on Nux, who ignored her this time as well, she clenched her fists and turn around.
"Tell someone to keep an eye on her, the moment she leaves the Academy, inform me."
Nux spoke as he glanced at Candice who was walking away.
"I will do that, Master."
Eliyard nodded.
The exploring continued for a while longer, Nux changed everything that he didn't like, of course, his wives ordered the changes they wanted in their new rooms.
An hour later, the exploring finally ended and Eliyard bowed.
"Master, I have noted all the things you have asked for and will make sure everything is ready by tomorrow morning."
Nux nodded.
"I will be taking my leave now, Master."
Nux nodded again and Eliyard turned away.
"I… I can't believe you subdued Eliyard so… easily…"
Arvina commented.
"I told you, didn't I? I am a lot stronger than you think, Teacher."
Nux smiled.
"Can… I ask you something?"
After a moment of silence, Arvina spoke.
"You can ask me anything you want, Teacher."
"Why… why did the Headmaster start screaming at that time…?"
"Y-Yes, I would like to know that as well…"
Evane stepped forward as well.
"Well, it is one of my magics that ensures someone's loyalty to me. At that time, he was thinking about running away from me, which was interpreted as him betraying me, thus, the pain."
Nux didn't hide anything.
Evane understood what he was talking about.
'I will tell you more about it later, love.'
Evane then heard Nux's voice in her head and she nodded with a smile.
"Huh? Magic? What Magic? Is it some sort of Skill Book?"
Arvina on the other hand, frowned.
"Heh. Your student has many secrets, Teacher."
Nux chuckled.
"…"
Arvina didn't know what to say.
Whatever technique Nux used… it was…
Brutal…
Of course, she wasn't planning to call him out on that.
In this world, how you achieve something doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is that have you got what you want or not.
Therefore, Arvina didn't talk much about this 'magic'.
"Also, why did you fire all the servants working here?"
She questioned.
"Teacher, your servants leaked the news about Ember living with you, what guarantees that these servants won't leak the news about us living here?"
"Then who were the new servants you were talking about?"
"They are my people."
Thyra answered.
"Your people?"
"Yes, I have trained them and now, they will be working for him."
Thyra answered.
"Have you contacted them?"
Nux questioned while they were on this topic.
"Yes I have, they will be coming here soon. Just tell Eliyard to deal with the guards."
"Don't worry about that."
Nux replied and Thyra nodded back.
"Heh, now, all we have to do is wait."
Felberta chuckled.
"Indeed."
"I am excited to meet Sister Allura."
Skyla spoke with an excited look on her face.
"Hmm? Allura?"
Arvina frowned.
"She is my wife, Teacher."
"Oh… it's just that I know a person who has the same name."
Arvina replied.
"Ahh,"
Nux nodded back.
Felberta and the others smiled.
