Chapter 1192 Lyriana Frostwillow, are you willing to be my Slave?
1192 Lyriana Frostwillow, are you willing to be my Slave?
"What do I have to do in order to earn your complete trust?"
The Elven Queen questioned and after thinking about it for a while, Nux finally came up with an answer, "Be my Slave."
"What...?" Lyriana couldn't believe what she just heard.
With the sheer shock on her face, one could tell that she was doubting her ears even when she was absolutely sure that she didn't mishear.
Nux, however, looked into Lyriana's eyes and, "The only people I can trust as if my life depends on it are either my wives or my slaves. Of course, I would never give up if I had the chance to marry someone like Lady Lyriana, however, now that I know that I have something you want, I can't marry you since in my heart, I would know that you are only doing this because you want something from me.
The only other option left is for you to become my Slave."
"Can you even hear yourself...?"
Lyriana, on the other hand, still couldn't believe that a Semi Saint was brave enough to speak such words right on her face.
Then suddenly, Lyriana thought of a possibility, "Are you saying this because your Clone is currently with my daughter and that you think I am completely helpless in front of you?"
"Lady Lyriana,"
Suddenly, Nux called out and with the most solemn look on his face, he looked into Lyriana's eyes and, "I am not playing around.
As absurd as it sounds, the only people I can completely trust are my wives and slaves, you cannot become my wife, so the only option is to become my Slave.
Bear in mind, that I am not asking you to become my Slave. You are the Queen of all Elves, I respect you and I know where my boundaries lie, that is the reason I declined your offer in the first place.
All this talk about Slaves and whatnot was just me answering your question. Yes, I did come out strong, but I only did it to show just how ridiculous it sounds.
I wish to help Ariana, she is a hard-working girl but I hope Lady Lyriana would understand my problems as well.
I... cannot reveal my biggest secret, it could not only be dangerous for me but for my wives as well."
Nux spoke as he bowed his head.
"Now if Lady Lyriana would excuse me..."
A portal then formed in front of Nux, but before he could step in,
"Do you want me to sign a Contract?"
Lyriana questioned and Nux froze.
"What...?"
He turned around and his eyes fell on the Elven Queen who was looking at him with a calm look on her face, "How does this Slave thing work, do you want me to sign a certain contract that restricts my actions?"
Lyriana repeated her question. From her tone, Nux could tell that she wasn't doing this out of desperation, she just wanted to know how far Nux would take things.
Nux knew that if he wanted this to work, he needed to be extremely careful with his words, in no world would he get another chance like this any time soon.
"Lady Lyriana, as I said, you are the Queen of Elves, your Dignity is something you cannot lose no matter what, there is no way I would ever make you sign a Contract that asks you to become a Slave. I may not trust you completely, but that does not mean I look at you in a negative light.
When I say I want you to be my Slave, I mean that you need to be 'my' Slave.
To maintain your dignity, you will still be the Queen of all Elves, however, when it is only the two of us, you will be my Slave, for just one day of course.
You can treat it as a Test."
"A Test?"
"That is correct.
I can tell that Lady Lyriana is doing all this for her daughter.
So the offer of being my Slave is only to see how far would Lady Lyriana actually go for her daughter's sake, would she accept being a Slave of a mere Semi Saint if it ensures that her daughter can get stronger than all Seven Heroes?
This is just my way to see how strong the connection between you and your daughter is, it will be an indicator of what kind of person you are.
Because if you can do all this for your daughter's sake, then I would have a reason to believe that you are a person I can trust.
After all, no desperate mother would ever betray a person who helped her daughter, now would she?"
Nux smiled.
"That is quite a skewed logic," Lyriana commented.
"Well, this is not an idea that Amaya came up with, it is something I came up with on my own, so it is not perfect."
"You are really dependent on that woman huh?"
"She is the brains of my Clan for a reason." Nux chuckled.
Seeing him laugh, a small smile appeared on Lyriana's face as she questioned, "You really do love your wives with all your heart, don't you?"
"I do." Nux nodded with an earnest look on his face.
Lyriana nodded in understanding, and then after thinking about all this for a while, she agreed.
"I will do it."
"What...?"
"Becoming your Slave, I will do it."
"Lady Lyriana, you do no-"
"You said I only have to do it for one day, correct?"
"T-That's correct."
"In that case, ensure that you extract maximum value out of your Slave in the limited time you have."
Lyriana chuckled as she then walked towards Nux and questioned,
"How do we do this? Do I need to bow my head or kneel down?"
"Lady Lyriana you do-"
"Nux, I want to do this for the sake of my daughter. Please tell me how to proceed from here."
"I-I will ask you if you are willing to be my Slave and you have to say yes."
"I don't have to kneel or bow?" Lyriana seemed quite surprised.
"I believe your words would be enough..."
"As I said, that is quite a skewed concept."
"..."
Nux didn't say anything and just smiled wryly.
He seemed like he didn't want to do it, Lyriana, however, was prepared for it.
"Go on then, Nux Leander.
Ask the question."
In the end, Nux closed his eyes and took a deep breath, Then, as he opened his eyes again, he looked right into Lyriana's blue eyes and questioned,
"Lyriana Frostwillow, are you willing to be my Slave?"
"Yes."
Lyriana answered and then, a screen popped out in front of Nux.
