1312 That's his problem; he needs to deal with it.
"It is strange, however, since the girl was able to form a Law of Absolute, I guess it all worked out fine in the end." Vyriana shrugged, and upon hearing those words, Amaya and the others nodded in understanding. Knowing Nux, it wasn't surprising that he would do something like this. After all, strength wasn't his major focus; it was his wives. And since he had Vyriana and then even Faustina protecting them for now, the sense of rush he felt earlier when they just came to Yrniel isn't there anymore. Nux could now take his time, and that was what he was doing. The Dragon seemed to have the same thoughts in her mind as well. Taking things slow would allow Nux to build a strong foundation, which would help him in the future.
"I don't understand," Aeliana, however, had doubts in her head. "You said he intentionally decided to halt his progress because he wanted his wife to do it first so that she can gain her lost confidence back, correct?"
"That is correct," Vyriana nodded.
"Then wouldn't that girl's confidence shatter since she was defeated even when Nux didn't form his Law yet? So didn't this do the opposite of what he wanted?" Aeliana couldn't understand the reasoning behind this; from her perspective, it all felt... crude...
Vyriana, however, shook her head. "As I said, the girl simply wanted to pave the way for him, and she achieved what she wanted in the best way possible. She comprehended the Law of Absolutes, the Strongest batch of Laws there are. She showed him the power of Laws, she showed just how ridiculous of an advantage one could get using Laws that even someone as monstrous as him would need to take his opponent seriously. That too, an opponent who was in the same Phase as him, someone he normally wouldn't even look at let alone have thoughts of having a serious battle. She showed him what he was missing. She showed him what he could do to get even stronger than his current self. And now, she will show him how to achieve what she achieved. That is all the girl wanted. In her mind, it was never about defeating that man from the beginning. It would have been great if that happened, but since it didn't, it only proved just how monstrous the man is. And the girl is happy being in a position where she could help her husband in some way."
Vyriana explained, and Aeliana, who was looking at Vyriana explaining all this, continued to observe her as her eyes shone with a strange glint.
"You seem to understand their relationship quite well."
"She is my Disciple." Vyriana's answer was instantaneous, not allowing Aeliana to think whatever she was thinking in that head of hers.
Aeliana, however, didn't give up. "What Master knows so much details about her disciple's personal relationships?"
"When a student's entire life revolves around her relationship, when the only thing the student thinks about is her relationship and how to make it even stronger than it already is, when the only person who could meet the student's eyes is the one she has this relationship with, then the Master has no choice but to understand the relationship to understand her student and get close to her." Vyriana replied, and Aeliana turned silent. She had no words against that.
Nux and his wives... she had noticed this strange... obsessive attachment that borderlines craziness between them... It is something she had never seen between any other couples, even the Progenitors, who have stayed together since the beginning of time. Others may say that this is nothing but the young hormones doing their work and as time passes, the attachment will fade away. Aeliana, however, had a different opinion. No matter what, Nux and his wives were still all over 200 years old, it may be young from their standard, but from mortal standards, it is already above the average age. These mortal feelings that are generated through 'mortal hormones'... something like this should have already faded away, or at the very least, it should have become somewhat tame. Aeliana, however, couldn't notice that. The compulsion, the passion, and the obsession these people had for the one they loved... It never once fell. And somewhere in her heart, Aeliana respected that. Also, she couldn't help but notice that slowly and steadily, her good friend was also falling into this web. The Dragon may not notice it right now, but the very fact that she allowed Nux to place a bet where he would get to kiss her if he wins the battle despite knowing perfectly well that no matter how strong, a being below Divine level just cannot defeat that monster, showed just that. The Dragon may retort that she did it to motivate her disciple and show just how much trust she has in her, however, no matter what she said, the fact that she indirectly agreed to let Nux kiss her wouldn't change. And Aeliana couldn't imagine the Dragon of the past allowing something like that no matter how much she liked her disciple. A woman like her would have taken the route of, 'If you don't win, don't come to me,' than the, 'You will win, I trust you,' route she took.
"Lady Vyriana..." While Aeliana was thinking all of this as she observed her friend's behavior, Amaya called out. The Dragon turned towards her, and the girl continued, "With the duel over and Astaria achieving what she wanted, are you going to tell us about Laws? Or will it be Astaria."
"I will do it," Vyriana answered. "That girl will be more of a guide for you in case I am not available."
"And what about Nux's problem that you mentioned? About him being unable to find a law because he is too versatile, how are we supposed to deal with that?" Amaya questioned, and this time, Vyriana just shrugged.
"That's his problem; he needs to deal with it."
