Chapter 1442 Do you not like my presence?
"I didn''t think I would see you here." Aeliana heard a playful voice and the moment she realized who the voice belonged to, she sighed. This woman was the last person she wanted to see right now. Not that it was possible. With Nux taking the Dragon Trials, it was only a matter of time before the news reached this woman''s ears and considering how she was ''more reacting'' when it came to Nux, it was only a matter of time before she came here. "My disciple is taking the Trial, of course, I will be here to cheer him on," Aeliana replied, suppressing her thoughts. "I was expecting you to be busy like you usually are." "I try to take time out for my disciple, this time, I succeeded." "You seem quite close to your disciple." Vyriana commented. "That is only natural. I have practically raised the boy ever since he was 20." "I know, but..." Vyriana nodded, then, a playful smile appeared on her face and, "Was he not satisfied being a Vampire? To think he would decide to take the Dragon Trials within just 10 years of being a Vampire. What happened?" She questioned. Not many people knew about Nux''s ability to use both Vampire and Human Blood. Aeliana, abusing her power as the Pseudo Leader, made sure that other than Progenitors, who she had already informed about his ''abnormalities'', the rest were kept in the dark and Nux appeared in his Vampire Form whenever he appeared in public.
Vyriana was no exception to this either, therefore, she looked more excited than usual when Nux, who was a Vampire before, decided to take the Dragon Trials. Aeliana glanced at the Dragon who was clearly enjoying the situation. There was a lot she wanted to say, but she decided to remain silent. The Dragon was clearly trying to provoke her, she would be a fool to give in to such obvious provocations. "Say..." Suddenly, Vyriana called out. "Now that he won''t be a Vampire any longer and would become a Dragon...
You act strangely distant from me... And I do not sense hatred from you either... it is quite a peculiar feeling..." Vyriana muttered and the moment Aeliana heard those words, she frowned. This behaviour... it was familiar. Vyriana wasn''t the first woman in front of whom Nux had acted like this. It had happened before... The women Nux call his... ''loved ones''. The women he literally controlled an entire continent just so he could ensure their safety...
He acted like this whenever he interacted with them as well. ''Is he interested in her?'' Aeliana thought inwardly, soon, however, she shook her head. This didn''t seem like a mere attraction...
It... It was something more... something much more complicated.
