Chapter 1894 You… used me…
"That's quite a detailed plan, even if I do say so myself."
He praised as he glanced at Faelara.
"You failed to consider one thing, though."
Nux paused, and his grin turned demonic.
"Me."
Vulpiana and Faelara stepped back. The mother fox narrowed her eyes.
"How did you get here?"
"Wasn't that hard."
"That doesn't make sense. This Dimension does—"
"Doesn't exist in reality? Yes, I know that."
Faelara's expression changed when she heard those words.
"It is a place you created, so ideally, no one else can enter since they can never find this place, but..."
Nux then glanced at Vulpiana and,
"It isn't exactly difficult to find a place when all I need to do is chase someone."
Vulpiana narrowed her eyes when she heard those words.
"You followed my daughter."
Faelara realized it.
"What do you mean? I have been following her for years now, after all.
I am only a fool who thinks with my lower half."
Nux chuckled. The two women in front of him, however, weren't laughing.
Nux then stared at Vulpiana and,
"You broke your promise, Miss Spy."
He spoke in a solemn tone.
"The one thing I wanted in return for helping you, and you couldn't fulfill it."
Then, he shrugged.
"Well, I guess it wasn't completely out of my expectation.
It would be foolish to expect a daughter to go after her mother.
I thought it would work if I showed you your mother's real face. Oh well, at least I tried."
Nux then started stretching his body as if he was preparing for something.
"Well, since Plan A failed, it's time to go for Plan B."
Nux's eyes shined as he stared at Faelara.
"After all, I always get what I desire."
Faelara narrowed her eyes. However, before she could say anything,
"W-Wait, a-are you saying that my mother wasn't on your side?"
Vulpiana questioned.
"Hmm?"
Nux glanced at Vulpiana mid-stretch and,
"My side? I never consider anyone other than my wives to be on my side.
I just knew that this woman wasn't on your side."
"How did you know...? What gave it away?"
Faelara questioned in a grim tone.
"Come on, Faelara Dawnshade.
You didn't actually think I bought that story of yours, did you?
I would be quite disappointed if you did.
Even if I do think with just my lower half, trust me, my lower half is extremely good. I've only gotten good reviews till now."
Nux chuckled.
Faelara narrowed her eyes, and Nux sighed.
"Come on~
I literally asked you why you didn't go to the Vampire Progenitor that day, and instead of catching on and asking me who the Vampire Progenitor was, since I sounded so confident when I mentioned him,
you decided to tell me that bogus story your ancestors believed in.
I was providing you with information, and instead of being a good leader and extracting that information from me, you just started telling me something absolutely ridiculous.
You gave yourself away that very day, Faelara.
You said your mission was to find out about the 'secret weapon,' and when I was actively telling you about it, you didn't listen.
It could only mean two things:
Either you were an extremely foolish leader,
or you weren't being completely honest with me, again."
Nux's smile then widened and,
"And obviously, I leaned on the latter. After all, if there is one thing I know about you,
it is that you don't think from your lower half.
I can smell the dryness, you see."
"..."
Faelara stayed silent, not reacting to Nux's remark.
Vulpiana, however, wasn't the same. She still had too many questions in her head.
"Then why did you continue helping us? Why didn't you call her out right away?"
"Well, she did give you away. I considered that to be the price of her lie."
Nux smiled.
"You... did that because of me...?"
"You give too much importance to yourself, woman."
Nux chuckled.
"I just found it amusing."
Nux turned back to Faelara and,
"I was bored, so I wanted to see what your mother was planning, you know, for the sake of entertainment.
After all, you were never a real threat to begin with."
"That's quite a bluff."
Faelara chuckled at those words.
"You would never risk your wives' lives for 'entertainment.' Admit it, you did that for Vulpiana."
"Heh."
Nux raised his hands in defeat.
"Well, I give up."
Faelara's smile widened. Vulpiana, on the other hand, lowered her head, her mind filled with complicated thoughts.
"Don't beat yourself over it, woman.
If it's any consolation, I didn't exactly do this for you.
Nux, who saw that, smiled and,
"Don't beat yourself over it, woman.
If it's any consolation, I didn't exactly do this for you.
I did it for your Law."
"What...?"
Vulpiana's expression changed.
"While I did bring you with me because I wanted you, I would never risk my wives' safety for your sake. I also realized that you didn't know what your mother was planning, so I just wanted to see how things would develop between us.
But then...
Eisheth found out about your Law. Well, it was only a Path at that time. The Time Rifts you created impressed the two of us, so I told Eisheth to get close to you and learn more about your Law.
And since you wanted to know so much about us and fulfill your role as a spy, you shared everything Eisheth wanted to know whenever she threw a bit of 'information' at you.
Your Law was useful, and I wanted it for myself, so I kept you by my side."
"Wanted it... for yourself...?"
Vulpiana felt like she had heard the most absurd thing in this world.
"Ah right, you don't know."
Nux chuckled.
"I have to give it to my Succubus Queen, she extracted everything I wanted to know from you while barely telling you anything.
It is almost laughable that you still doubt half of the things she told you.
She really had her fun with you, didn't she?"
Nux laughed out loud and Vulpiana's body trembled.
"You… used me…"
She spoke, her voice shaky.
"Hah?"
Nux paused as he then sighed in disappointment.
"Oh come on, I was playing along since your act still felt somewhat believable, but crying is just ridiculous."
Then, he glanced at Faelara, and his grin turned demonic,
"You better show me something interesting now, Fox.
I gave you more than enough time to do your thing."
