Chapter 1183 We are accepting the challenge.
1183 We are accepting the challenge.
"Nux! What are you doing!?"
Amaya shouted as she rushed towards Nux.
Nux, however, simply passed the statement Soren Thorn had made to her, all the women, who were confused since they had never seen him use Slave Seal on Riona before gathered around Amaya and started reading the statement.
'It is laughable how Nux Leander isn't brave enough to even directly reject a challenge where the challenger asked for his wife.
I can't even imagine how humiliating it must be to learn that your husband is a coward.
This is my message for Amaya Leander,
Amaya, I am sure you must be feeling the same frustration and humiliation.
Come to me, Amaya.
I assure you that if you become mine, you would never have to go through these feelings again and of course, it goes without saying that Lord Arcturus wouldn't target you anymore either.
Leave that coward behind and come live with a man who actually values you,
A manly man who can actually protect you.'
A disgusted expression appeared on Amaya's face the moment she was done reading the statement.
She didn't even care if others had read it or not and destroyed the paper in her hand using the Devouring Mist.
"Amaya! Tell him that it is clearly a trap and that this Soren bastard is working together with Arcturus!"
Riona, who regained control over her body spoke as she turned towards her daughter.
Amaya, however, simply glanced at Nux and extended her hand, demanding the challenge scroll that Soren sent.
Then as she read the details of the challenge, a 12v12 where they wanted Amaya Leander if they won, the disgusted look on her face got even stronger.
"You know what I want, correct?"
She glanced at Nux and questioned.
A wide smile appeared on Nux's face as she declared.
"We are accepting the challenge."
"It is a trap!" Riona shouted again.
"Arcturus would be there ready to capture you the moment you appear in front of him!" Riona, however, couldn't take it anymore appeared in between Nux and Amaya, broke the eye contact between them, and shouted.
Amaya, however, just shook her head and,
"Don't worry mother.
I have a plan." Amaya spoke with a confident look on her face as a cruel light shone in her eyes.
The absolute disgust she had towards the man she hadn't even met yet had already surpassed the disgust she had for Ricardus, the previous King of the Skyfall Kingdom.
It was honestly an achievement to gather this much hate from a person you hadn't even met.
"Well, I guess things are finally starting, eh?
I believe this will be taking a much more interesting route than I initially thought.
All right then, people,
I will be taking my leave now and once again, I wish you luck."
Seeing the overall mood of the room, a big smile appeared on Vyriana's face, then, she stood up and saying those words, she disappeared.
She would observe everything from somewhere else.
After all, she didn't want Nux and his wives to shamelessly use her as a safe room and discuss whatever they wanted without being disconnected from the rest of the world.
"She really left..."
Astaria muttered.
Just why was her Master enjoying all this to this extent?
She had no answer to that question.
In the end, Astaria just sighed and opened the Portal.
"Alright, let's discuss this further inside the [Core], this place is not safe anymore."
Saying those words, everyone in the room walked into the [Core] and the Portal closed.
...
A frown appeared on Soren's face as he glanced at the scroll lying in front of him.
"You did not expect this, did you?"
Soren's eyes widened in fright as he heard a voice, he quickly stood up and noticed Arcturus walking towards him.
"L-Lord Arcturus!"
He greeted as he quickly stood up from his chair.
Ragnar, who was inside the room did the same as well.
"I heard he accepted your challenge."
Arcturus spoke with a small smile on his face. His eyes were on the scroll kept on Soren's table.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Arcturus, Soren nodded,
"I-I am quite surprised about that as w-well, Lord Arcturus. I didn't think he would actually accept the challenge."
"Well your public statement was quite poisonous, it was almost as if you were venting your anger on that poor man.
Maybe that agitated him more than you thought it would?"
Arcturus chuckled.
"R-Right, that c-could be the case."
Soren laughed dryly as well.
He could tell.
Even though Arcturus was actually laughing and chuckling as if he was in a joyful mood, Soren could tell that something was wrong.
Arcturus seemed pissed and to not become an outlet for his anger again, he quickly spoke up,
"B-But isn't that a good thing for us, Lord Arcturus?
His control over his emotions is worse than we predicted, but due to that, it would save us quite a lot of hassle, wouldn't it?
Now we have no reason to play in such a roundabout manner, we can directly capture Nux Leander the moment he appears in front of us, we can capture him and get the information we want out of him."
"He is not a fool, he must have a plan."
Suddenly, Ragnar spoke up.
Both Arcturus and Soren turned towards him and Ragnar continued,
"He must have gotten support from somewhere.
A support that is strong enough to give him enough guts to appear in front of Lord Arcturus and I cannot think of it being anyone other than the Vampires."
Ragnar then glanced at Arcturus and,
"Lord Arcturus, this might lead to a clash between the Dragons and the Vampires, we need to be prepared."
"..."
Silence fell over the room as he said those words.
But then,
"Alaric wouldn't do it."
Arcturus spoke up.
Ragnar frowned in confusion and Arcturus continued,
"A war between the Dragons and Vampires, Alaric would never go this far, not even for his own niece.
If Nux has actually received support from the Vampires then...
It's possible that Alaric hasn't fully grasped the extent of the seriousness with which I am approaching this matter.
Maybe it is time I show it to him."
A cold look appeared on Arcturus's face.
He was looking forward to the day of the Challenge.
***I seem to curse myself whenever I talk about Extra Chapter.
