*Sigh*
Kylo let out a tiresome sigh after few minutes of observing Nigel.
He was sighing not at Nigel but at his own luck.
[Did I use all of my good luck by obtaining this duo...?]
The duo he was talking about was Avery and Nigel.
Kylo had a general idea about the snake and its background after checking its bloodline.
He just directly asked "Are you from the Nagaduniya?"
Immediately Nigel's eyes went wide. He started releasing a tyrannical energy that seemed to destroy everything in existence.
[Bloodline energy... a royal huh?]
Even Kylo flinched a little but fortunately it was not observed by anyone.
Nigel's mind was in a mess while Avery was just scared by the energy.
After calming himself down, Nigel asked in a very calm but an uneasy tone "How did you know?"
"Your bloodline and Physique... There are only few races who have 2 bloodlines and a physique in this universe. And among the snakes the only one are the descendants of 'Vasuki'." Kylo replied in a calm tone.
"In fact you are a royal descendant. I don't know how you got on this planet but it seems it is related to my little Avery somehow." Kylo said while pointing his chin towards the confused Avery.
(Author Note:- Vasuki is a serpent king in Hindi and Buddhist religion.)
After a while Nigel replied in a trembling voice "Yes our empire in the Nagaduniya was completely destroyed, almost everyone was killed. I am the only royal alive after the incident."
(Author Note:- Nagaduniya, Naga means snake, duniya means world in Hindi. Nagas are a semi-divine race in Hindu mythology.)
Kylo nodded his head and continued "And your injuries... If I am not wrong your empire seemed to have been attacked by Takshakas, one of the hachi ryuu-ou.
You have not been injured but poisoned. You were never injured while saving little Avery but you were already injured before meeting her.
Due to some misunderstanding she thought it was because of her and she always felt guilty. You took advantage of it... even though your concern seemed genuine but the method was terrible."
(Interesting fact:- Takshakas are the most venomous poison snake.
Takshakas are known as one of the eight great dragon king in Japanese mythology that is hachi ryuu-ou. Incidentally Vasuki is also one of the eight dragon kings.)
Actually Nigel being injured by Takshakas was just his guess. To injure a royal descendant with poison. There is only one he can think of, after Nigel mentioned his kingdom getting destroyed.
Nigel was shaken when every secret of his was exposed by Kylo. He peeked towards Avery only to see her confused and betrayed expression.
Nigel was once again shaken by her expression. He wanted to deny it but he could not. In the end he just sighed and continued the remaining facts which were Kylo's confusion.
"Y-you are right. In... in fact before the war was over I was sent by my dad... in the void space to avoid death.
I d-do not know how many are a-alive but most of them.... Anyways I was sent in the void space and after few days I noticed a spatial break *cough* *cough*." He stuttered once in a while when remembering the events before he coughed up blood.
Even speaking seemed to pain him. Kylo said nothing and just guided the primordial energy in his body.
The primordial energy cannot cure the poison which was the one of the deadliest natural poison in the universe but it can surely suppress it.
Nigel felt his body having a relaxed feeling and felt lighter. He was amazed by Kylo but did not ask anything and continued his story.
"I followed the spatial break and arrived in this world. The first one I met was Ave's father.
At that time I was already poisoned and even if someone wanted to kill me I would not be able to do anything, even if that person is kuch much weaker than me.
I thought he would kill me, after all a Vasuki descendant's skin, flesh, bones everything is a treasure.
It is not like he did not knew I am not a Vasuki descendant." At this point Kylo nodded his head and made few guesses about Avery's mysterious background. And he was sure one of them was the right answer.
Nigel continued "But he healed me instead, no rather than healing he suppressed the poison. You should know it as well why... But they themselves were in a fight. I wanted to help them but I could not since I was degraded to Divine core realm.
Ave's father knew that they were going to lose. Hence he first let Ave escape....."
At this point he paused for a moment and could not find himself to continue.
Kylo frowned when he saw the red snake peeking at the lady. Avery had disbelief, confusion, curiosity, hope and fear written all over her face.
Disbelief because of Nigel's past.
Confusion because the story did not match what Avery knew.
Curiosity because of wanting to know what happened next.
Hope because of sudden possibility of her kins being alive.
And Fear... because of the possibility of her hope being crushed.
Kylo suddenly understood what Nigel wanted and he used the primordial energy to create a hand in secret and sneaked a chop at Avery's neck.
Caught off guard Avery was not able to do anything. Before she could understand anything she fainted.
"Now it is alright it seems." Kylo nodded his head in satisfaction.
"..." Nigel's eyes widened and he just gave a shocked look to Kylo.
"What?? Isn't it what you wanted? You cannot let her know so I made her faint" Kylo said in dissatisfaction.
"...*Sigh*" After few seconds it was Nigel this time who let out a tiresome sigh.
