Chapter 796 It Was Love At First Sight.
“Do you… fear me?”
Allura questioned with a strange expression on her face.
“…”
Nux turned silent and continued to observe Allura.
The more he looked at her with that expression, the more nervous Allura got,
Nux continued to stare at Allura for a good minute, reading different expressions that kept on appearing on her face, and then, he muttered,
“I do not fear you, Lady Allura.
That ability you used, by how others reacted, I can confidently say that it was not something common, even Lady Astaria seemed surprised… and how your eyes changed colors…
That didn’t seem normal either…
However,
If I am being honest…
Then rather than being scared,
I… I was actually entranced by those purple eyes of yours…
It was love at first sight.”
Nux confessed and hearing those words, Allura’s face turned red and she turned her head away. She completely forgot that she was supposed to tease Nux today, not act like a teenage girl in love.
Seeing her expression, Nux smiled inwardly as well.
It was surprising to see this woman, who was standing confidently in front of the King of this Kingdom and was even looking down on him, acting like that in front of him.
If it was a normal situation, he would have continued this act and would have used this chance to get into bed with her.
The mission he has gotten, it was even simpler than he expected.
Having sex with this woman, it didn’t seem difficult at all. Rather, this woman looked all ready for it.
However, for some reason, seeing that blush on her face, Nux couldn’t bring himself to make a move on this woman.
Was he scared?
Well… maybe…
But it was not that simple…
This woman…
She is different.
Nux didn’t know how to express it, but he had noticed that she treats her differently than others.
Her status here is obviously not ordinary, but the way she treats him… although it seems to playing around… it… feels weird…
I feel as if… this woman had some connections with him…
Of course, logically, it was possible that this woman actually had a connection with his predecessor, but… for some reason… Nux felt that this connection this woman had… it was with him… the real him…
So even though what he said just now was to increase his likability and further increase his chances of sleeping with her, in the end, it was not all a lie…
He did feel some sort of connection with this woman.
‘Ugghh… I don’t know what I am thinking anymore…
This is my first time seeing her…’
Nux groaned inwardly as he glanced at Allura, who seemed to have regained her playful attitude and was not blushing like a little girl anymore.
“So you are saying you loved my purple eyes?”
Allura questioned with a smile on her face.
“Y-Yes, that is correct.”
“Are you saying that my blue eyes are ugly?”
“N-N-No! That’s not what I mea-”
“Which eyes do you like more? Blue, or purple?”
“T-That…”
Nux didn’t know how to answer that question.
What should he choose? He had to choose the answer that would please this woman more, but how is he supposed to know the right answer in this situation?
“I-I only saw your purple eyes momentarily, so I do- Ahhh!!”
Just as Nux finally came up with an ingenious answer, his eyes fell on Allura and he jumped back in shock.
Allura…
Her eyes had turned purple…
That was not it… She also had horns protruding out of her head… Her ears… they had elongated as well…
She…
She wasn’t a human…
‘A demon…’
Nux realized it.
‘T-This world also has demons…?’
Nux wondered in his head.
‘Wait… are the demons evil? They should be right…? Then this woman…
Is she evil…?
Is she going to kill me…?
No, she had no reason to play with me like this.
There mu-‘
“So? Which look do you like more, Nux? The previous one, or is it this one?”
Allura questioned with a playful smile on her face.
Nux… on the other hand, didn’t know how to answer that question…
He needed more time to access this situation before he could come up with an optimal answer, there were just too many variables. 𝒩𝒐𝗏𝐥xt.𝑐𝚘𝔪
But suddenly,
“Are you really that bother with my look?”
Allura looked at him and questioned with a wry smile on her face.
Seeing that smile…
Nux felt like something inside him broke…
‘No…’
An unconscious voice muttered in his head…
How this woman looked didn’t matter, however, that expression… Nux absolutely hated that…
“That’s not it, Lady Allura.
I just… cannot decide which one is better…
Whether it is your previous face, or your current appearance, it is just too perfect and beautiful for me to decide properly…
So I cannot answer your question.”
Nux replied in a hurried voice, he didn’t wish to hurt Allura more than he already has.
But then suddenly,
“Pfft.”
Allura laughed out loud.
“H-Huh?”
Nux’s expression changed.
This woman… It was all an act…
Nux realized it, and when he did, his mouth twitched in annoyance.
“Lady Allura th-”
He was about to retort, however, Allura interrupted.
“I must say,
For you to come up with an answer like that,
You must really want to complete that mission you got, don’t you?”
“!!!”
Nux’s eyes widened in shock.
“What happened? Why do you seem so shocked?”
Allura questioned with a playful smile on her face.
Nux, however, didn’t answer.
“What Mission did you get again?
Ah wait, let me guess,
Fuck Allura Silversane.
Right?
How much time limit did it give you? It should be a month, right?
And the penalty, hmmm, it should be the [Craving Touch], tsk, honestly, you don’t even need that useless ability.”
Allura commented.
And the more she spoke, the stranger Nux’s expression got.
“H-H-How do you know all of this?”
He questioned.
“Hmm? Why don’t you guess it?”
“I-Is it because y-you can see my System Screen?”
Nux guessed.
“Hmmm, not really,”
Allura replied with a smile on her face.
“T-Then what is it?”
Nux questioned.
“Oh C’mon, did you give up already? Use your imagination a little.
What’s the point of reading all those novels and mangas in your previous life? I am sure you can do better than this, right?
Or have you still not gotten used to this world? Well, I can’t really blame you either, it hasn’t even been a complete day since you transmigrated, after all.”
