'Evane, you need to understand, this is the Royal Palace, everyone here only cares about one thing, the Crown.
Everyone here is selfish. They only think about themselves and your brother,
He is no different.'
Nux spoke in a calm voice.
He knew Lovis was not the type of person Evane thought he was, and now, Lovis just proved his point.
Nux knew that this might be a shock for Evane, however, it was still better than her being fooled by her 'innocent' brother.
Now that she is aware of his true reality, Evane would not be fooled.
Or… that was what Nux thought would happen. Evane, however, had a different opinion.
"No, that is not correct."
After thinking for a long long while, Evane came to a conclusion.
"You are Amaya are biased against him, therefore, you are not thinking it properly. Think about this, for him, I am someone who returned from the academy after more than 20 years and my return was definitely not something predecided, it was instantaneous.
Many were confused as to why I returned and though he didn't ask directly, it is natural that Lovis was confused as well.
I told him I do not desire the Throne, however, after that, I told him to write on that paper. It is only natural that he would doubt me, especially after the paper appeared in his 'benefactor's' hands after a few hours.
If he didn't trust me, he would have never written anything on that paper, however, he did write, showing his trust. However, soon, his trust was broken and the paper appeared in Lovis's hand.
Isn't it natural that he would get angry?
Heck, even I would be angry if I was in his position.
Actually, he didn't just come and attacked me directly, this shows that he still cares about me."
Evane then turned towards Nux and spoke.
"Nux, please don't doubt him, he is exactly like I told you, he is not some sort of selfish manipulator who would get rid of the people after they are no longer of any use to him."
Hearing those words, Nux turned silent.
Evane's words actually made sense… Lovis's reaction made sense…
This was not enough to prove anything to Evane.
She is too naïve to even consider the possibility of her brother being a manipulative player.
He had to do something else.
Nux starting thinking.
Seeing that Nux was not saying anything, Evane continued her explanation.
"As for the fact that he returned without even apologizing, again, think about this from his perspective. The paper was with me, this meant that I was not the one who did this.
The only people who knew about the paper were you, me, him, and his butler. I am innocent, you are on my side, and you don't have any motive if I don't have one, he, of course, would not do something like this, so the only one left would be his butler.
A butler who has stayed beside him for who knows how long.
A servant he trusts the most.
And there is a chance that that servant betrayed him.
Anyone would be shaken by that conclusion and obviously, he isn't in his right mind currently, therefore, he wasn't able to apologize.
He must be too occupied with thoughts about his butler.
He must have forgotten it.
I am sure he would return and apologize soon."
Evane smiled.
Nux forced out a smile as well.
'Uggh… why is she naïve… I guess that is what attracted me to her in the first place…'
Nux just shook his head.
'Step back, let things continue… You can't do anything about it right now…'
Amaya had the same thoughts.
'Can I really not do anything?'
Nux questioned.
'Evane doesn't understand the meaning of 'Trust' means.'
Amaya commented.
'What would you have done if you were in Lovis's position? Would you even consider that Evane was the one who betrayed you?'
'Of course not.'
Nux's answer was instantaneous.
'Yes.
When you say you 'Trust' Evane, it means you trust her enough to show your back to her.
Trusting someone is dangerous, you can only say you trust someone when you are ready to lose something precious the moment that person goes against you. If you think about how would defend yourself when the person behind you attacks you, then you actually do not trust that person.
The same goes with Lovis, he does not Trust his Sister, heck, he was even ready to turn back and attack the person behind his back.
Evane, however, would not understand it.
At least not now.
Therefore, the only thing you can do is to stay with her for a while and protect her.'
Amaya spoke and Nux nodded with a serious look on his face.
'I need to step back.'
'Indeed.'
The two of them nodded, then Nux glanced at Evane and smiled.
"Alright, I will wait for him to come and apologize to you."
Hearing those words, Evane smiled lovingly.
"Mhm."
Seeing that smile on her face, Nux smiled as well. Then, his smile got perverted, he closed the doors, and then, he questioned,
"Alright then, how about we make you an Expert Stage Cultivator?"
Evane's face turned red and then, she nodded meekly.
"A-Alright."
"Hehehe~"
Nux laughed evilly and picked her up.
The two of them quickly jumped on the bed and Evane's Cultivation session started.
…
On the other side, Lovis walked into his room and called.
"Leo."
"At your command, Master."
Within a second, a man appeared in front of him and bowed.
"Where is the paper that I gave you before?"
Lovis questioned.
"Hmm? That paper? I placed it in your room as you ordered me to, Master Lovis. Should I bring it to you?"
Leo questioned.
Seeing his reaction, Lovis narrowed his eyes and spoke.
"No need, you just follow me. I will get that letter myself."
"As you command, Master."
Leo bowed his head and the two of them walked into Lovis's room.
"Where is the paper?"
Lovis questioned.
"Ther-"
Leo pointed at the wall, soon, however, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Where is the paper?"
