1368 You sneaky bitch.
“I was wondering where you were.
To think you would be here out of all the places.”
Another new voice was heard.
Nux and Vyriana turned towards the source, Faustina, however, frowned just as she heard the voice.
“What are you doing here, Lilith?” The Human Progenitor questioned.
Lilith, however, simply chuckled and, “Don’t you think I should be the one asking that instead?
Solitude’s End? This is not a place many would visit.”
She spoke as she then glanced at Nux and in an instant, her purple eyes shined, “And it seems like you haven’t been here for a short time either.”
Turning back to the Human Progenitor, the Succubus questioned, “What are you doing here, Faustina?”
“…”
Faustina didn’t say anything, Lilith however, already had some guesses in her mind, “10 years in Yrniel would be 1000 years here. Are you trying to help him live long so the effect of the illusion is weakened?”
The moment she heard those words, Faustina narrowed her eyes and that little slip-up in her expression was all Lilith needed to get the answer she was looking for.
“Heh, that’s quite an interesting attempt.” Lilith couldn’t help but chuckle.
“But you, out of the three should know how futile that is, Faustina.”
“If you know it is futile, then why don’t you leave? You are bothering us here.”
Faustina replied, looking right into Lilith’s eyes with a cold look on her face. Lilith however, wasn’t an easy woman to handle.
“Hmmm. Reading you have never been this easy…”
She muttered, tilting her head in confusion.
“Why do I feel like you are trying to hide something from me?”
Faustina didn’t show any reaction, she just got even more annoyed and,
“Lilith, you are wasting our time here.”
“If you tell me what you are doing and satiate my curiosity, I will leave. You know that is the easiest way to handle the situation.”
“And you should know that if I am not telling you anything, then it must mean that I do not want to tell you. Why don’t you take a hint and back away?”
The two progenitors stared at each other. Lilith had a playful smile on her face. Seeing Faustina act like this, her curiosity was piqued, so leaving was the last thing on her mind.
Faustina, on the other hand, getting more and more impatient. She didn’t know how long she would be able to keep her act. Right now, Lilith’s focus was on her because she was acting differently than her usual calm self. However, as someone who knew this woman well, Faustina knew that in the end, the woman’s focus would change and fall onto Nux.
And right now, that is the last thing she wants.
The other Progenitors weren’t a problem, for them, Nux was simply an interesting individual with potential, they wouldn’t bother looking into him.
Lilith, however, as someone who has gone as far as making a bet with a mere mortal, was the one who had the highest chance of noticing the presence of Essence and how absurdly powerful it is.
And since the woman was a progenitor just like her, it wouldn’t take long for her to connect Essence to another world.
Faustina couldn’t let that happen.
She stared at Vyriana, wanting her to do something. The Dragon, however, was unable to understand her signals and frowned.
Just as Faustina was about to lose all her hopes,
“Lady Lilith.”
Nux called out.
The Succubus Progenitor turned towards the boy with a playful look on her face, Nux however, stared at her with an emotionless look on her face and, “Please leave.”“Hmm?” Lilith tilted her head in confusion.
“Just like you said, it is indeed related to our bet, Mother simply wishes to help me in any way she can and I do not recall this being against the rules. You gave us 10 Yrniel years, how we spend these 10 years is entirely up to us and you have no right to intervene.
I am already under a lot of pressure since I will be facing a Progenitor, please do not interfere with my training and affect my performance.”
“I am affecting your performance…?” Lilith raised her eyebrow.
“That is correct.” Nux nodded.
The Succubus narrowed her eyes.
She glanced at Nux then, she glanced at Faustina, who had a similar look on her face and for some reason, she felt left out.
She couldn’t help but notice how differently this man treated her and Faustina.
While he calls this woman ‘Mother’, spends more than 100 years together with her in a Forsaken World and even stands up for her not knowing that she is the last woman who needs his help when it comes to her, he keeps a formal distance and even wants her to leave.
Thinking about it, Lilith narrowed her eyes.
She could see that she was losing this race. The lead Faustina had taken using this ‘mother approach’ was simply too big. Lilith could clearly see how easy it would be to use this lead, blur the lines between the mother-son relationship and mate with him. The fact that the two of them weren’t real mother and son, further solidified the plan and reduced the difficulty.
After all, there were no moral boundaries they needed to cross here.
While her plan of breaking Nux’s rigid thinking using the power of time would definitely work, with how things were going, this plan might not benefit her at all. Heck, it might even help Faustina break those moral boundaries and get what she wants.
This would mean that all her hard work till now would benefit Faustina, making a joke out of her within their circle.
‘You sneaky bitch.’
The more she thought about it, the more plausible this plan sounded in her mind and Lilith couldn’t help but curse in her head as she glanced at Faustina.
She realized that she needed to do something.
She needed to reduce this distance between her and Nux and right now, the easiest way to do it would be through those women he loved so dearly.
“Nux Leander.”
She spoke.
Nux tilted his head, ready to listen to what this woman had in her mind.
“I wish to take one of your wives in as my disciple.”
