"Oh, hello, darling."
A man with brown hair, green eyes, cat-like ears, and sharp features, spoke with a smile on his face as his eyes fell on an extremely beautiful white-haired catkin who just walked into the room.
"Hm? Didn't you say you were going to talk with Distinct's Clan leader today?"
Rune questioned as she tilted her head in confusion.
"Yes, I will be leaving soon."
"Good luck." Rune smiled gently.
"Well the Distinct Clan is already our Ally, this is just a formal meeting, I don't really need any good luck here."
Aragorn, Rune's husband spoke with a hearty smile on his face.
Seeing him acting like that, Rune couldn't help but smile,
"There is nothing wrong in having some good luck no matter what you are going to do." She replied.
"That's true, but I need to be careful and not waste all the good luck I have in my life. I have already used up most of my luck by marrying you, after all. I only have a limited amount left."
"Look at you, acting all romantic, what happened?" Rune questioned as she chuckled.
"Hmm? Nothing happened of course. Aren't I always romantic? C'mon, give me a kiss now." Aragorn spoke as he extended her arms towards Rune and walked towards her.
Rune, however, just laughed out loud,
"You will be late, don't play around and leave."
"My wife is cruel."
"Hahaha~"
Rune laughed out loud.
"Now leave." She spoke with a gentle smile on her face.
"Alright alright, I will take my leave."
In the end, Aragorn just scratched his head and stood up.
"Take care, darling."
He spoke.
"You too," Rune replied.
Aragorn left the room.
Rune's smile disappeared, she sat on her bed with a bored look on her face. Then suddenly, her eyes fell on a piece of paper that seemed to be hidden under Aragorn's pillow.
Rune frowned.
She quickly grabbed the paper and,
'Come to Silver Feline Inn at 3 in the afternoon. Room 8, Second Floor.'
Rune glanced at the time, it was 2:30, there were 30 minutes left, however, she wasn't sure if this message was for today or some other day.
However, Rune didn't think too much about it. She just stood up, then, she transformed into her Cat Form and disappeared.
She would see everything herself.
She quickly left the City Manor, 10 minutes later, she was in front of Silver Feline Inn.
In her current form, very few people could sense her presence, honestly, Rune didn't wish to brag, however, only the Divine Stage Cultivators were capable of doing that.
Of course, that Emperor was an exception.
Rune decided not to think about that man.
His abilities were too bizarre. Common Sense didn't apply to him.
In her Cat Form, Rune shook her head, then, she simply walked into the Silver Feline Inn, she passed through many people, however, none seemed to notice her presence, she simply strolled through, and soon, she was in the front of the room mention in the paper.
Rune extended her senses, however, to her surprise, the room was empty.
Rune frowned, however, in the end, she walked into the room.
She had decided.
There were still 20 minutes before the time, she would stay here for the next 30 minutes and would leave if nothing happens.
Rune entered the inn, it was nothing much, a normal, clean room with well-furnished furniture, it was nowhere close to Rune's own room, however, she didn't care, in her cat form, she jumped onto the bed and decided to lay down.
But then,
"To think you would really come.
So I was right."
"!!!" ραпdαs `n?ν?| сom
Rune's eyes widened in surprise, she quickly disappeared and appeared right next to the person who just spoke with her claws pointing at his neck.
The person, however, didn't resist or panic, he just simply raised both his hands in surrender and with a smile on his face,
"It has been a while, Lady Rune."
He spoke.
"Nux…"
Rune called out as she released him and turned back into her original form.
"I told you we will meet sooner than you think, didn't I?" Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.
"Why are you here?"
Rune questioned as she narrowed her eyes.
"Well, I had some doubts so I needed to confirm it," Nux answered.
"What doubts?"
"Hmmmm,
Let's see,
You find a letter sloppily hidden under your husband's pillow, you read the content, a direct message without any visible secret messages, calling 'your husband' to a particular place.
Honestly, just from a glance, it reeks of a scheme, something done to affect your and your husband's relationship.
However, you still decided to visit the place mentioned in the letter, the room was empty, indicating it was indeed a scheme with no real substance backing it up, however, rather than leaving, you decided to wait.
Lady Rune…
You don't trust your husband, do you?"
Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.
"…"
Rune didn't say anything.
"It is him, isn't he?"
Nux questioned as he looked into Rune's eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"The reason you didn't contact any bigger clans to protect yourself and decided to place your trust in a smaller guild with peculiar abilities. It is him, isn't it?"
Nux spoke as he sat next to Rune.
Rune looked into Nux's eyes, and then, she nodded her head.
"Well then,"
Suddenly, a Portal formed right in front of Rune and,
"Let's talk somewhere more private, shall we?"
Nux spoke.
Rune continued to look at him.
"Why are you looking at me? Come on, go in. You are not scared, are you?"
Nux spoke as he pointed at the portal.
"I tried entering it last time, I couldn't."
Rune replied.
She tried entering when Alistair had captured 5 Assassins from ExceedoGenesis but just as she said, she couldn't enter it,
"That was before, now I am here with you.
Try again."
Nux smiled.
In the end, Rune decided to trust Nux, she pushed extended her hand towards the Portal, and her arm went in.
Rune's expression changed, she tried putting in another arm, and just like before, it went in as well.
"You really are scared, aren't you?"
Nux chuckled.
Rune's narrowed her eyes, and then,
She jumped into the portal.
