"Don't ask, just come with me. If he enters the Forbidden Region,
The Chances that he would come back are zero!"
Riona replied with a panicked look on her face, she then quickly grabbed Amaya's hand and tried to pull her outside the mansion.
In truth, she wasn't really worried about Nux.
She was actually worried about Amaya. This daughter of hers seems to truly love this man, if something were to happen to him, she knows that Amaya would be heartbroken.
Riona, however, wasn't planning on letting them happen.
She would save Nux before something could happen.
She would save him no matter what.
"???"
Suddenly, Riona frowned.
She turned her head and questioned,
"Why aren't you moving?"
Even though she was trying to pull her, Amaya didn't move, rather, she was using force to stop her as well.
A confused look appeared on Riona's face, she then glanced at other women inside the room, and seeing calm looks on their faces, her frown deepened.
Why aren't these women affected? Why do they look so calm? Didn't they love Nux? The Love of their life was in danger, how could they be so calm?
She couldn't understand.
"Don't worry, I have already called him, he is coming back. He didn't step into the Forbidden Region yet. You can calm down."
Amaya replied.
However, at the same time, she frowned inwardly.
Why was her mother acting like that? Why was she panicking when Nux was in danger? Wait…
Suddenly, another possibility popped into Amaya's mind.
She then glanced at Riona with a hostile look on her face.
"What happened?"
Riona tilted her head in confusion.
"Nothing."
Amaya shook her head.
She was still not sure yet.
She would need to wait and find more clues before acting.
"No, leave that, what do you mean he is coming back? How do you know he hasn't steppeदद into the Forbidden Region?" Riona questioned.
"Secret."
With a playful smile on her face, Amaya placed a finger on her lips and muttered.
"Amaya, it is not the time to joke around, Nx's life is actually in danger."
Riona warned with a serious look on her face.
"Hmm? Why is my life in danger?"
Suddenly, the doors of the Mansion opened up and a handsome man walked in.
"Nux!"
Skyla didn't miss the chance, she jumped on Nux with an excited look on her face.
Nux caught the girl and hugged her gently. He then started patting her head and Skyla closed her eyes, enjoying the treatment.
"Y-You… weren't you in the Bloodhill Wilderness?" Riona questioned with a surprised look on her face.
"I was, but then they called me so I returned," Nux replied.
"Called you?"
Riona frowned.
"What? You don't know about this?"
Nux frowned.
"Know about what?"
Riona was now confused.
"About the connection," Nux answered.
"What connection?"
"The connection of love, of course."
"What in the hell is that?" Riona had a strange expression on her face.
"…"
Nux just stared at her in silence.
"What are you keeping the suspense for? Just tell me what it is."
Riona spoke.
"Well, when you love your partner with all your heart, you can hear their voice in your mind no matter how far apart the two of you are. This is called the Connection of love.
Didn't you know about it? I thought everyone knew about it."
Nux spoke with an innocent look on his face.
Seeing his expression, Riona frowned.
Something like this existed? Why did she not know about it?
"Alright, you can stop your games."
Suddenly, Amaya stepped in.
A smile appeared on Nux's face.
"It was fun seeing her reaction."
Nux chuckled.
Riona's clenched her fist in frustration.
"You…"
"Well, I can deny that."
Amaya nodded.
"Amaya?" Riona opened her mouth in shock.
She couldn't believe that her daughter betrayed her like that.
"Alright, let's not talk about useless things right now," Nux stepped forward, he then glanced at Riona and questioned with a serious look on his face.
"Amaya told me that you said that The Forbidden Region inside the Bloodhill Wilderness is dangerous, why do you say that?"
Riona, however, was not some random woman without any ability to think,
"What do you mean useless topic!? I need to know. How did you return? Also, how do you know about what I told Amaya, you weren't even in the room.
No, that's not it, yesterday as well, all your women, even Amaya, just appeared out of nowhere. How is that possible? How could I not sense any of them?"
Riona questioned.
Suddenly, a playful smile appeared on Nux's face as he placed his finger on his lips and replied,
"Secret."
Riona noticed that Nux's and Amaya's reactions were too similar to each other. Again, she was taken aback.
"Alright, now answer my question," Nux spoke.
"You didn't answer mine," Riona complained.
"This is not something we can answer, we already told you about things that we have kept secret from the rest of the world, I believe that should be enough for you to trust us."
Amaya stepped up.
In front of her daughter, Riona didn't have any choice but to give up.
"I would have told you anyway…"
Riona spoke with a dissatisfied look on her face.
Seeing her like that, Nux couldn't help but smile inwardly.
'She actually loves her daughter.'
"Well, if I am being completely honest with you, even I don't know much about the Forbidden Region, I have not visited it.
Lord Amletus warned me not to enter the Forbidden Region."
"Lord Amletus?" Nux frowned.
If an Emperor was warning about something, it has to be a serious issue.
After meeting Astaria and feeling the difference in power between the two of them, Nux was overwhelmed.
He considered himself to be strong, however, in front of Astaria, he was nothing.
Actually, he was proud that he was able to maintain his sanity and act normally in front of that monster.
Yes, Nux was affected by that monster.
And if someone who has a similar strength to that monster was saying something, he had to take it seriously.
"Yes, I don't know the details, but Lord Amletus said that let alone us, even if he himself went into the Forbidden Region,
He wasn't 100% certain about returning alive."
