121 Mark My Words
‘Thyra, come here.’
‘Hmph! Speak of the Devil’ Thyra snorted inwardly as she glanced outside the window. A small frown appeared on her face when she noticed that the sun wasn’t out yet.
‘Why is he calling me this early?’ She thought inwardly.
‘Does he want to…’ Some indecent thoughts started appearing in her mind and she shook her head repeatedly.
‘No no no! I would rather die than do that!’ She screamed inside her mind.
“Umm… Miss One… is everything okay?” Thyra was then brought out of her reverie by Twelve’s voice. She then glanced at everyone’s faces and pouted a little.
They failed to see that lovely expression that had appeared on her face since half of Thyra’s face was covered with a mask.
“It’s nothing. Alright, we have been talking for too long, everyone, return to your rooms. I still have some things to do so I will take my leave.” Thyra ordered.
The other assassins then nodded and walked into their rooms.
However, every one of them had lost expressions on their faces. They were still thinking about what Twelve said before.
Thyra then turned around and walked towards Nux’s room.
…
A few minutes later, she appeared in front of Nux’s room and just as she was about to knock, the door was opened and Nux walked out while placing his finger on his mouth.
“Shhh, they are sleeping.” He whispered.
Since she was curious, Thyra peeked into the room and her eyes widened.
“How are all 4 of them here?” She questioned.
She didn’t know why, but her voice was very low as well, it was as if Nux’s presence affected her somehow.
“What do you mean why are all 4 of them here?” Nux questioned.
“Wasn’t there only Felberta before?” Thyra questioned.
“There was- wait…” Suddenly, Nux narrowed his eyes.
“How did you know that Fel was the only one insde before?” Nux questioned.
Thyra’s eyes widened in shock, she couldn’t believe that she blundered like that.
She was a failure as an assassin!
She cursed herself inwardly.
“I… uhh… I just saw her entering a few hours back…” Thyra muttered.
“Riiigghhhtttt” Nux nodded.
Thyra sighed when she noticed that he had believed her.
“But why do I feel like you are lying to me…?”
She was too optimistic.
“I am not…” Thyra answered weakly. She knew it would all be over once Nux uses that weird magic of his.
“Alright. I will trust you.” Nux nodded.
“You trust me?” Thyra questioned, she was shocked.
“Well, yea. You are going to be my subordinate from now on, I think I should start trusting you a little, I mean, I can’t keep using my Magic, can I?” Nux smiled.
Thyra was taken aback by his smile, however, a cold smile then appeared on her face as she answered,
“Yes, you should trust me a little. Keep trusting me like this and one day, I will find a way to undo your magic and stab my dagger into your heart personally.”
A small smile appeared on Nux’s face when he heard her.
‘She likes to act tough huh…’ he noted.
He knew she wasn’t being serious, there were several reasons behind it.
First and the most obvious, she didn’t feel any pain.
Second, if she was that serious about doing it, she wouldn’t say that out loud and would try to act more ‘servant-like’
Of course, everything might be her plan to make him lower his guard, but Nux believed that a situation like that wouldn’t arrive.
“You wouldn’t do that, would you?”
“Oh try me.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about all this, tell me, did you distribute the weapons I gave you?” Nux questioned.
“…” Thyra remained silent as she glanced at Nux with a blank look on her face.
“Did you call me here this early in the morning to ask this?”
“Yes?”
“…”
“What?”
“Do you think I am free?”
“Yes?”
“…”
Thyra was speechless.
And the biggest problem was that she couldn’t retort!
She was free!
“Still! You can’t cal-”
“Shhh! Lower your voice, they are sleeping” Before Thyra could continue, Nux muttered.
“You can’t call me here for something so stupid. Since you ordered me, I distributed all the weapons to my subordinates.” Thyra lowered her voice, however, her frustration was clear in her tone.
“Hmm? But I wanted to see my best assassin… I can’t do that? Why do you sound so angry?” Nux questioned with an innocent look.
“…”
Again, Thyra was speechless.
This man was truly shameless.
“You could have called me a little later… why does it have to be so early in the morning?” Thyra questioned.
“Oh, that? I have some work to do in the afternoon, so I will be busy.” Nux answered.
“Work?”
“Yes, a very important work.”
“You work?”
“…” This time, Nux turned silent.
“You work? I thought all you do was fucking women.” Thyra muttered in shock.
“Exactl- Ahem, no, I mean, no, I still have things to do,” Nux answered.
Thyra narrowed her eyes as she glanced at Nux, she felt something was wrong with how he was acting.
However, she then shook her head.
‘It’s not my problem’
Thinking that, she glanced at Nux and muttered,
“Alright, do whatever you want. I will take my leave since we are done.” Saying that, Thyra turned away, however,
“Wait!”
“What is it?” Thyra questioned, annoyed.
“I had another question”
“Ask.”
“Did you give weapons to the assassins who are in Hardwick Mansion?”
“…”
Thyra was silent again, however, from the vein that had popped up on her head and how her body was trembling while she had formed a fist, Nux knew that she was pissed.
‘Hahaha~ It’s so fun teasing her~’ He thought inwardly, amused.
Thyra noticed that smirk on his face and realized that he was doing this intentionally.
Her eyes then turned cold as she threatened.
“Mark my words; The day I find a way to overcome your weird magic will be the day you will breathe your last breath!”
