'Sending all the Eyes away and keeping an eye on this situation from afar,
What are you trying to do, Darling?'
Ambrosia thought inwardly as a playful smile appeared on her face.
Orpheus, who was looking at this situation from afar noticed Ambrosia looking at him with that smile and understood what she was thinking.
The two of them may not have a telepathic connection like Nux and his wives, however, they have been together for more than 5000 years now. 5000 years was a long long time, Orpheus and Ambrosia could read each other like an open book now.
They didn't need any type of Telepathic connection to talk to each other.
Their eyes were enough.
Orpheus nodded at Ambrosia, Ambrosia nodded back and then, she turned her attention to Nux and Lazarus.
"The First was you coming into the Training Hall, when it was clearly stated that no one other than Lord Orpheus, Melia, I, and my wives is allowed.
The Second was when you were asked to leave, however, you still dared to be deceitful enough to leave your subordinates here, betting on the fact that I wouldn't sense them.
And this is the third, directly coming to me and inquiring about the Duel, which, again, is against the contract Lord Orpheus himself signed.
Lazarus, aren't you taking me a little too lightly?
No, let's not talk about me, aren't you taking your father, Lord Orpheus, too lightly? Or do you think that Lord Orpheus has gone senile and cannot think properly anymore?"
"What is this nonsense you spouting?"
Lazarus spat as he narrowed his eyes.
"In just 1 week, you have tried to break the contract Lord Orpheus himself signed, twice. Let's not talk about the first time, you can say that you wanted to ask me and solve everything peacefully, it is a respectful approach if we ignore that spy stunt you tried to pull off.
But what about now?
You tried to break the contract yet again. These actions of yours, aren't these a clear disregard of Lord Orpheus's words?
Lazarus,"
Nux then looked into Lazarus's red eyes, then, he tilted his head and with a solemn look on his face, he questioned.
"Are you trying to rebel?"
"You bastard! How dare you even insinuate that!? I would never even think of doing something like that!?"
"Oh? Your actions seem to say otherwise though."
Nux didn't back down.
"I was just worried that you wronged my Sister and wanted to double-check the situation!"
Lazarus defended himself.
"Ahh, so you are saying that I, a mere Emperor, managed to wrong your sister, who is a Great Sage Cultivator, and I did that in front of your father, Lord Orpheus, a Divine Stage Cultivator? And that's not it, you are saying you can find something that even Lord Orpheus could not?
What's with that confidence, Lazarus?
No, can it even be called confidence anymore?
Thinking that your Sister is too weak to protect herself, and your father is too stupid to figure out that her daughter is being wronged. Lazarus, at this point, you are outright looking down on both your sister and your father."
Nux spoke with a small smile on his face.
"I-I am not l-looking down anyone! I love my sister and respect my father with all my heart! I would never look down on them! Don't try to twist my words!"
"I haven't twisted any of your words, Lazarus. I have only stated what any logical person would conclude if he ever hears of this event."
"You bastard!"
Lazarus's eyes turned red in anger, in the end, Nux's words affected his state of mind, this bastard continuously accused him of looking down on his sister and father, he even went as far as saying that he was planning to rebel, someone like Lazarus, who had a deep respect for the Bloodheart Household and strong love for his family, these words stung his heart,
Unable to control himself anymore,
Lazarus stepped forward, clenched his right fist and aimed his punch at Nux's face.
"Yo- huh?"
However, before Lazarus's punch could touch Nux, Lazarus's body froze.
His eyes widened in surprise and confusion, however, then, he heard a voice.
"Alright, before things escalate even further, let's stop this, shall we?"
Lazarus moved his eyes and saw his mother stepping forward.
"Have you calmed down, now?"
Ambrosia glanced at Lazarus and questioned.
Lazarus moved his eyes up and down, Ambrosia understood and then, she waved her hand.
Lazarus gained back control over his body, then, he momentarily glanced at Nux, however, since his mother herself has involved herself with all this, he decided to step out of this.
Ambrosia smiled, then, she glanced at Nux and,
"I apologize for his actions, Nux."
"Lady Ambrosia, I apologize if my actions have offended you."
Nux bowed with a small smile on his face.
However, inwardly, he didn't know how to react.
What's with these Divine Stage Cultivators and their ridiculously high charm?
His wives had warned him about this woman before, they did say she was beautiful and weirdly… hypnotic?
But what in the hell!?
She had just stepped forward and smiled at him…
How could such a simple action have…
…such impact?
Nux couldn't understand, however, he knew he couldn't stand back here. He was here to get something, and he wouldn't walk away without getting away.
"You have merely pointed out the truth, you have no need to apologize." Ambrosia smiled.
"Mother…"
Lazarus wanted to interrupt, however, Ambrosia just glanced at him and he stepped back.
pαndα-noνɐ1,сoМ "Lazarus's actions may have been wrong and misleading, however, I can assure you, he did not mean to disrespect or look down on anyone. He was merely doing it for the sake of his sister.
You see, he is a little too attached to his sister. So attached that he sometimes forgets to reason and acts out like this.
I apologize in his stead."
Ambrosia smiled lightly. However, seeing that his mother was taking his side didn't make Lazarus happy at all.
He reflected on his actions and realized how wrong he was.
First, he doubted his sister, then his father, and now even his mother had to apologize in his stead. Lazarus clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger.
He was disappointed in himself.
