Chapter 1283 Don't say I didn't warn you.
1283 Don't say I didn't warn you.
"Is everything ready?"
"Of course, even if you went back on your word about giving me a week and told me you wanted everything ready within 2 days, I have prepared everything perfectly."
Ignatia replied, not forgetting to point out how unreasonable Nux's request was.
"You are competent indeed, no wonder you became the new Dragon Lord."
Ignatia stared at the man in front of her and didn't say anything.
To think this bastard was responsible for the state the Dragon Continent was currently in.
"Are you ready, my General?" Nux questioned as he glanced at Ember.
"I am." Ember nodded with the brightest smile on her face.
Her face was practically glowing and Nux's other wives who were seeing it couldn't help but snort.
'Tsk, she is clearly trying to show off.'
Amaya snorted.
Everyone already knew that she got to spend an entire month together with Nux and knowing perfectly well that she was the only one who got to spend so much time with Nux alone in the recent past, Ember was continuously rubbing it on her sisters.
'I never liked that bitch from the start.'
Aisha snorted as she glanced at Ember.
Amaya nodded in agreement.
Ember could obviously sense their animosity from behind, however, rather than being affected by their negative aura, she smirked and once again, grabbed Nux's arm and placed it right between her breasts.
Nux, of course, didn't resist at all. Heck, he even went as far as rubbing his arm into the two soft mountains even further.
"I wish you luck, Love." He spoke in a gentle voice.
Ember nodded.
"Should I guide her to the Trial Tower or will you be coming with us as well?"
Ignatia questioned with a deadpan look on her face. Clearly, she didn't want to see the drama she was made to watch.
"I wi-"
Nux wanted to answer, but suddenly,
"Are you done here?"
Everyone heard a voice. Ignatia's expression changed the instant she saw the one who made the appearance.
"Lady Vyriana." She bowed her head, showing her respect.
Vyriana nodded before she glanced at Nux and then Ember.
"Why aren't you taking the Trials? Are the Towers still not ready yet?"
Ignatia's body trembled momentarily, she soon stood straight and glanced at Vyriana, "I have prepared everything, Lady Vyriana.
Please let me guide you to the Trial Tower."
The Dragon Lord spoke, nux and the others could sense the change in her tone the moment Vyriana made the entrance.
'The news has spread.'
Nux commented.
'A World Leader has died. It would have been more surprising if the news was somehow suppressed.'
Felberta replied.
The other women nodded as well.
They could all sense Ignatia's fear. After all, no one wanted to die a dog's death where they couldn't even put up a resistance.
Vyriana on the other hand, completely ignored Ignatia's fears and followed her in without any chance in her expressions. Honestly, she was much more used to being treated like this.
With Vyriana taking the lead, Nux and his wives followed.
"Do your best in there."
Nux spoke as he glanced at Ember.
Ember nodded before she glanced at Vyriana,
"You won't be spared if your results are disappointing."
Vyriana commented and Ember chuckled before bowing her head to show her respect and leaving.
Nux smiled, looking till Ember's body disappeared into the Tower.
"It would approximately take a month before she returns," Ignatia informed.
Nux and the others nodded in understanding.
"Are we going to the Elven Kingdom now?" Felberta questioned.
"Evane is already there, she is waiting for us," Allura answered.
Nux on the other hand, turned towards Vyriana and she nodded, "She would still need some time, let's move to the Elven Continent."
Nux nodded in understanding.
Soon, a Portal was opened, and crossing through it, Nux and the party appeared inside the Elven Royal Halls.
"Nux!"
Evane rushed towards her husband with a bright smile on her face.
Nux smiled, allowing his Queen to jump on him, and shamelessly started caressing her butt as he held her in his arms.
"You are here."
The Elven Queen spoke.
Then, her eyes fell on Vyriana and she bowed her head.
"Lady Vyriana."
Vyriana nodded.
With a strange look on her face, Lyriana stood up, then, turning towards Nux, 'Can I talk to you for a minute?'
She spoke using Mana.
'What is it?' Nux questioned.
'It is about Aurelian... was she really killed by Lady Vyriana?'
Nux nodded. There was no reason to hide it.
'What did she do?' Lyriana questioned.
'Well, she challenged her authority.' Nux shrugged. 'She was still acting arrogantly even when Vyriana warned her once, at that point, she was asking for it.'
Nux had no trace of sympathy in his eyes and seeing that, Lyriana couldn't help but frown.
'Do you not realize how wrong it is?' She couldn't help but question.
Nux on the other hand frowned. 'What do you mean?'
'She was killed because she was acting arrogantly? She only said that the Ancestral Order would not overlook her actions if she did something and she killed her just for that?'
'Well, she turned out to be wrong, no?/ The Ancestral Order did overlook Vyriana's actions.'
'That is not the point. Lady Vyriana killed Aurelian for something so insignificant... isn't that too cruel...?'
'It is the world of strong.' Nux shrugged.
'You do not feel that it is wrong?' Lyriana questioned and suddenly, Nux looked into her eyes and, '100,000 demons died when the Dragons attacked Lust State, did you not feel that it was wrong?'
'That wasn't in our control, it was Arcturus who made that decision and he was punished for his ac-'
'What about the time when I massacred the Ashenhelm Clan?'
'...'
Lyriana suddenly turned silent.
'You didn't act like this when that happened.
Lyriana, we were never on the good side. We have killed thousands of people, I am sure you have too.
Not many people cared since those people were weak but for her... Aurelian was no different than those weak people who were killed, an ant who could be squashed and the only response would be, 'Oh, my bad. I didn't intend to do it.' You wouldn't even feel bad about it.
Lyriana, I was standing right there and I couldn't even see how or when Vyriana made her move and Aurelian met her end, the difference in power was that big, and yet, Aurelian had the balls to challenge Vyriana.
How foolish do you think that is?
Was killing her taking it too far? Yes.
But can she be blamed? Even if the answer is yes, who would dare to do it?
It was similar to a Mortal showing arrogance to a Divine Stage Cultivator, what do you think the result of that alteration would be?'
'But Aurelian was the Empress of the Empire of Eternity, the entire Empire will fall into chaos once the death of the Empress is revealed. How many innocent people's lives do you think will be affected by it?'
'She already appointed another Emperor, so nothing will happen.'
'You think that is possible? There are other Divine Stage Cultivators and the Stillwalker Family behind, you think they would leave the new Emperor alone?'
'You think any of them has the balls to go against Vyriana's decision after seeing what she did. Trust me, she wouldn't hesitate to kill all the Divine Stage Cultivators in the Empire and only leave one alive to give him the Throne.
The woman is crazy.
Do not mess with her.'
'...'
Lyriana had no words.
'You do that just fine...'
She muttered inwardly, clearly remembering how he messed with the 'crazy' woman.
'Why the hell does she not attack you?' Lyriana had no answer to her question.
Just how in the hell could one... 'tame' that woman?
"Have you discussed your matters enough?"
Suddenly, Vyriana spoke up.
"L-Lady Vyriana." Lyriana's face paled.
'Don't worry, she wouldn't secretly peek into our conversation. Her pride will not allow her to.' Nux ensured before he turned towards Vyriana and smiled lightly.
"Mhm, We are done.
Lady Lyriana, would you please take us to the Trial Tower?" Nux questioned.
Lyriana nodded. The group then walked towards the Elven Trial Tower, after wishing her the best, Nux kissed Evane goodbye.
Another Portal was opened and now, the group appeared near the Human Trial Towers, with the Three Human Emperors trembling nonstop the instant they saw the group.
"L-Lady Vyriana."
The three Emperors greeted.
Vyriana nodded.
Nux then glanced at Vyriana and,
"Can I see my wife now?"
Vyriana stared at Nux for a while and then, she smirked.
"Be prepared to lose."
The Dragon Woman then waved her hand and Astaria appeared out of thin air.
"Star...?"
The instant Nux saw Astaria, a frown appeared on his face.
Astaria felt... different...?
Of course, since Vyriana was so confident, Nux knew that she had something prepared but... Astaria seemed a little too different than her usual form.
"It has been a while."
Astaria smiled as she glanced at Nux.
Then, with a calm look on her face, she walked towards him and then placed his head on her breasts. Then, she brought her mouth next to his ears and whispered, "Darling, you might want to break through if you want to have a shot at winning, a Semi Saint might not cut it."
"Rich coming from a Great Sage." Nux raised his eyebrow.
Astaria, however, just chuckled and,
"We will see about that.
Don't say I didn't warn you."
Saying those words, Astaria walked into the Human Trials with a confident smile on her face.
