"Why to bother with something so fruitless, why is someone like you degrading himself to be a servant of someone who will never reach your level, let alone surpass you?"
Astaria questioned with a solemn look on her face.
"Because I love her, of course."
Nux answered honestly and Evane's eyes widened in surprise and horror.
'We were going to be honest with her!?'
Evane questioned through the telepathic connection. Nux, however, didn't answer and continued to look at Astaria with a smile on his face.
Astaria narrowed her eyes.
"You love her?"
"I do."
Nux nodded and to prove his point, he grabbed Evane's hand.
Evane, who was scared about the consequences was now even more surprised, however, even after that, she didn't reject him.
She tightened her grip and glanced at Astaria with a determined look on her face.
'Whatever. If she decides to attack you, you know what to do.'
Evane spoke.
'Don't worry.'
Nux replied in a calm voice.
