*Tak*
Melia, who was sitting on the bed with her head on her knees, suddenly heard a voice, she turned around and realized that Nux had walked into her room.
Instantly, her expression changed,
"W-What are you doing here?"
She questioned.
Nux, however, didn't answer.
He just walked in, then, he turned around and locked the door he came in from.
"You… why did you lock the door?"
Melia questioned with a frown on her face.
Nux turned around and glanced at Melia, then, a demonic smile appeared on his face.
Without saying anything, Nux walked towards Melia.
"Nux, what are you planning?"
This time, Melia questioned with a serious look on her face.
Nux was being oddly silent.
She did not like that.
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm Especially that smile on his face…
It matched the smile that he had when he was in his [Incubus Form.]
"Nux, I am telling you, I will attack you if you do something stupid," Melia warned.
"You are inside [Core], if you use Mana here, you will destroy this place. Do you really want to do something like this?" Nux questioned with a smile on his face.
"…" Melia turned silent.
"I knew it." Nux chuckled.
He climbed onto the bed.
"There is no way you would do something like that."
"Why… are you here…?" Melia questioned.
Nux started crawling towards Melia.
This made her even more nervous. "Nux, I will attack you, even if it destroys this place."
After careful consideration, Melia spoke up. She was actually serious about this. If Nux crosses the limit, then she would have to do so as well.
However, rather than doing what she was thinking, Nux just chuckled, then, he sat on the bed next to her and made himself comfortable.
"Don't worry, I am not planning to do anything," Nux spoke.
Melia sighed in relief.
"At least not right now."
"W-What?"
But that relief was gone the next second.
"Mhm, I can see that you are still not comfortable around me, so I won't make a move now.
But don't worry, as I said, I will make you mine eventually."
"N-No. I-I won't be yours, I am mine. I am not a possession, I have my own free will." Melia retorted Nux's words.
"Of course, you have your own free will." Nux chuckled.
"I never said I will take that free will away,
I am saying that I will make it so that you will be mine, by your own free will."
"T-That…" Melia didn't know how to answer.
"Melia." Suddenly, Nux called out.
Melia turned towards him, Nux then looked into her eyes, then with a serious look on his face, he questioned,
"Do you hate me?"
"W-Why are you asking that?"
"Answer my question, Melia."
"I-I don't particularly hate you," Melia replied.
She always believed herself to be someone who was good at taking control over the flow of the conversation, but for some reason, in front of this man… let alone taking control over the flow… she can't even speak a few sentencing without stuttering like a fool.
Melia hates herself for that, however, no matter how much she thinks about it, she never understood why she acts like this around Nux.
"Then I still have a chance." Nux smiled.
"I said I didn't hate you… I never said I liked you…" Melia made herself clear.
"Alright, then let me ask this."
Suddenly, Nux's expression changed, he moved his face close to Melia's and questioned,
"Do you not like me?"
"Wh-"
"Do you not feel anything different when I am next to you? Do you not feel anything when I touch you? Do you feel repulsed when I touch you? Or do you feel a strange feeling in your heart, something that you cannot describe? Does your face burn when I get close to you like this? Does your heart flutter when our foreheads touch like this? Do your lips start quivering when they are this close to my lips?" Nux asked a barrage of questions.
Melia closed her eyes as Nux got close to him.
This happened again.
Her body froze again.
Just like it happened when Nux got close to her when he was in his incubus form back in the Battle Hall.
At first, Melia thought it was Nux's power, however, she realized it right now…
It was not Nux's power or anything like that…
It was…
*Gulp*
Melia gulped.
Even though her eyes were closed.
She could still feel Nux's presence. His breath, his lips that were right in front of hers, his forehead that he had gently placed on her forehead…
She could feel it all… and at the same time… she felt another feeling rising up in her heart…
She…
She was excited…
And when Melia realized it, she shuddered…
She was scared…
"Nux…"
Suddenly, Melia called out.
"Hm? What is it? Say it." Hearing his gentle voice, Melia's heart fluttered, however, with a determined look on her face, Melia spoke up.
"This… Everything is happening too fast… I… I barely know you… however, every time I am near you, I feel weird… It is honestly scary…
It is as if… these are not my own feelings but rather… I am being manipulated…
I was not even looking for something like this to begin with…
I only came here because I wanted to prove myself.
I wanted to create the Strongest Clan in the world with my own strength…
Something like this… I never thought about things like these to begin with…
So… why is something like this happening to me…?
You… you are not using any of your strange magic on me… are you…?"
Melia questioned as she opened her eyes and looked into Nux's eyes with a scared look on her face.
Hearing her question, Nux smiled.
"How about this?
I won't make a move on you until you allow me to,
You came here because you want to create the Strongest Clan without the help of the Bloodheart House, correct? To do that, you need more strength, don't you?
How about you spar with me every single day from now on?
This way, would be able to counter your weak points and at the same time, you would be able to spend more time with me.
The thing you just mentioned, isn't it because we are moving too fast?
Let's do it at your pace, shall we?
This way, you can buy more time to understand these new feelings you are feeling,
But let me warn you beforehand, Melia,"
Then suddenly, Nux moved his mouth close to Melia's ears and whispered,
"I am indeed using Magic on you, and it is quite a strong magic as well. It is a magic that makes you fall in love with me, to the point where your mind will think of nothing but me.
It is quite strong,
Be wary,
I am dangerous."
