"Haaah…"
After Nux and his wives walked out of Eisheth's room and Aisha took them to her room, Nux heaved a huge sigh of relief and sat on a sofa.
His women sat right next to him, Nux noticed that they were a little more touchy today.
Nux knew it was because of what Eisheth did,
"What did she do to you all?"
Nux questioned with a solemn look on his face.
"Nux, we'd rather not talk about it…"
Amaya replied.
"…"
Nux didn't say anything.
"And she didn't lie, she didn't intentionally try to harm us, she just showed us a few visuals that we… do not wish to see again. It just shows how weak we are since we are this affected by it, even though we knew it was all just an illusion."
Astaria spoke with a serious look on her face as well.
Nux glanced at Astaria and noticed how she was still clenching her fists in anger.
A weak smile appeared on his face,
"We all are too weak huh…"
"You didn't exactly have an easy time, did you?"
Amaya smiled weakly as well.
If Eisheth could notice that Nux was faking all of it, so could she. That was also the reason why she was just standing silent most of the time.
"That woman is not easy."
Amaya commented.
"What did you expect? Mother is a Queen, a true Queen."
Aisha spoke with a small smile on her face.
"You think one can become the Ruler of Lust State with just strength alone? She is the strongest in the Lust Stage, yes, but that doesn't mean strength is all she has.
She is someone who is actively involved with Yrniel's Power Struggle, she is not simple at all.
Actually, what you did in front of her and how she reacted to your words, I'd say it is something you can brag about. Not everyone has the galls to openly flirt with the Succubus Queen like that and stay alive.
Not to mention she was even considering accepting your advances."
From the little pout that appeared on her face, it was clear that she didn't like that situation.
Hearing her words, Nux just chuckled weakly,
"You are overestimating me, Aisha."
"What do you mean?"
Aisha frowned,
"She wasn't treating me seriously at all.
She was just playing along with my stupid games,
Honestly, if we weren't your 'friends', then she wouldn't even have entertained us for this long."
Nux replied with a wry smile on his face.
"Wait, so you are saying that she was not serious when she said that she was ready to leave her consorts to be with you?"
Aisha questioned with a shocked look on her face.
"Indeed, she was just doing all that to see your reaction."
Nux replied.
Aisha's expression changed,
"Uggghhh… why is she annoying!"
She complained.
"Anyways, let's talk about more important matters now,
What are we going to do now?"
Suddenly, Amaya questioned with a serious look on her face.
"Get stronger, of course.
You have seen it already, this is not our little continent, people here are too strong and could kill all of us just by waving their hands.
In order to survive, we need to focus on our strength."
Astaria replied with a determined look on her face.
"Don't state the obvious.
I was asking about our future plans,
A plan can't just be 'Getting stronger', we need to think more sophisticatedly."
Astaria narrowed her eyes as she glanced at Amaya, then, she retorted,
"Oh yeah? Aren't you a bright little girl, why don't you use that intelligence of yours to defend against my attacks."
"You think I am scared of you?"
Amaya narrowed her eyes,
"You think you little Mist can save you?"
"Heh, give me 300 years, I'll show you what my Mist can do."
"Says the one who has been useless for most of her life.
You act all haughty but in the end, didn't you spend most of your life stuck in a single room, heck, you didn't have control over your destiny."
"As if you had complete control over yours,
Woman, you couldn't even save your own so-"
"Alright, that is enough.
Control yourselves.
What's the issue here?
Why are you two going at each other like that?"
Nux narrowed his eyes,
Amaya and Astaria glanced at each other, then they glanced at Nux.
"I apologize, I was rude.
I shouldn't have said what I said."
Suddenly, Amaya bowed her head.
"I got a little ahead as well."
Astaria apologized as well.
However, the two of them still not looked at each other.
Seeing this, Nux narrowed his eyes,
"It seems they are still affected by the Illusion."
Suddenly, Aisha spoke up.
"Affected by the Illusion?"
Nux frowned.
"Indeed,
My mother used her ability and showed them what they would never want to see, something they are 'afraid' to see.
For us, it was only a few seconds, but for them, it could even be Hours, Days, or even years and since the one who casted that was my mother, the Strongest Succubus there is, it must have been the most realistic Illusion there is. Honestly, it would have been no different than living in an altered reality that is even more real than the reality itself.
Although the mother wouldn't have gone that extreme, the experience would still be traumatic for all of them.
It is natural that they are a little more sensitive than usual.
Give them some time."
Aisha explained and Nux turned silent.
Everything happened so quickly that he underestimated Eisheth's Illusion.
With a serious look on his face,
He glanced at his wives and,
"I don't know what you saw in the Illusion and if you do not wish to talk about it, I won't ask any further either,
However,
Just know this,
No matter what happens,
No matter how strong our enemies are,
No matter how many troubles we will experience in the future,
I promise you this,
I would never let those visuals come true.
Never."
The women glanced at Nux, they all glanced at Nux and nodded with smiles on their faces,
"Now,"
Nux then turned towards Allura,
"Allura, do you wish to enter the Ancient Trial?"
"I do."
Allura's answer was scarily quick.
She has already seen the 'peak' of Illusion, that woman forced all of them onto their knees with just a glance, and she wasn't even serious.
Unlike Amaya or Astaria,
Allura didn't have anything special.
Honestly, even she knew that whatever she was, it was all because of Nux's ability.
And she needed to change that.
The only viable option she could see was the Ancient Trial.
Seeing her determination, Nux nodded back,
"Alright then, I will not stop you.
Go do your best."
"I will."
Allura smiled.
Nux then turned towards Aisha and with a serious look on his face, he spoke,
"I will be leaving Allura in your care, Aisha."
"Of course, you can leave her to me."
Aisha nodded with a bright smile on her face, but then suddenly,
She frowned,
"Leave her to me, what do you mean?"
"Nux?"
Allura frowned as well.
"We can't stay here, Allura."
Nux replied.
"What do you mean?"
Allura frowned.
"I might have managed to deal with Aisha's mother today, but I won't be able to keep that for much longer. I will mess it up, I cannot stay here.
Also, there are too many eyes here."
Nux spoke as he glanced at a certain corner of the room.
Allura understood.
"So you are…"
"Yes, till you pass the Ancient Trial, you need to stay here, we, however, cannot do that same, we need to leave."
"T-Then I don't want to enter the Trial."
Allura replied.
"Allura, don't be foolish.
It is a rare opportunity, do not miss out.
Or do you want that what you saw before actually turns true?"
Astaria narrowed her eyes.
"…"
Allura's expression changed.
"Do not act like a child, also, it is not like Nux won't come and meet you.
You know him, he wouldn't be able to live if he doesn't see his wives regularly.
Alright, how about this,
We are still here for a few days,
I will give my turn to you, so you can have two turns."
Astaria offered.
"I'll do the same."
Edda stood up and replied with a surprisingly serious expression.
"Have mine as well."
"Tsk, whatever, have mine too."
"Mine as well."
"Since all of you are doing this, then, have mine as well."
One by one, Nux's women came forward, and gave their turns away.
Nux, who was seeing that couldn't help but be surprised, this was the first time this has happened,
His wives have exchanged turns before, but to give up on a session and give it to one of their sisters,
This was definitely new.
"What? Are you still thinking?"
Astaria questioned.
"I-I'll stay here."
Allura agreed.
Nux smiled and then, he hugged Allura,
"Don't worry, as Star said, I'll come to meet you regularly."
"You better."
Allura pouted as she placed her head on Nux's head and closed her eyes.
This was still the world's most comfortable place for her.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Lady Aisha, your Friends' rooms are prepared,"
The servant spoke without opening the door.
"Alright."
Aisha replied,
Then, she stood up and glanced at Nux,
"So? Shall we see your rooms?"
"Sure."
Nux nodded.
All of them then stood up, walked out of the room, and followed the servant.
While walking in the corridor, Nux and his wives gained a lot of attention. Especially Nux, for the succubuses, his handsome face was no less than a treat to their eyes.
Unlike humans, they didn't even bother to hide their intentions.
They all wanted to sneak into his bed.
Some winked at him, some sent a flying kiss, some smiled seductively, while some just directly removed their tops, showing their bare breasts, blatantly trying to seduce him.
Nux's wives were definitely not enjoying this, if they could, they would have killed all these bitches here, especially Amaya. Aisha, on the other hand, was trying to calm her friends, as for Nux,
Well, even he was weirded out,
This place was definitely different and he wasn't used to all this,
However, he still tried his best to ignore all this and continued walking, but suddenly,
Nux felt a figure appear behind him,
But before he could react,
He was taken away.
