Chapter 124 *Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

'Hmm? She let me go so easily? Ahh, she must have pitied my old bones… She's not as heartless as I thought…'

Outside Allura's room, her protector thought inwardly and sighed.

He still couldn't believe that she would go to such lengths just to entertain herself.

'The Bored Concubine indeed…'

…

"However, isn't that what makes it exciting?" Nux questioned with a big smile on his face.

Seeing that crazed smile on his face, Allura's eyes widened.

'He's crazy…' She thought inwardly.

However, soon, she noticed her beating heart.

Her heart was beating like crazy, it was beating like never before.

This situation was exhilarating, especially when her protector was here in the room.

Although she was scared, once the protector left, a never felt before joy filled her body.

'T-This… this was funnn…' She thought inward and a smile similar to Nux's smile appeared on her face as well.

'Huh? No no no no.'

However, she soon shook her head repeatedly.

She was not insane like this young man in front of her.

She was not bored enough to risk her life.

"Heh. That's how I get rid of my boredom, Lady Allura. Life-threatening adventures.

Right now, I am inside a king's concubine's room, if a single person learns about it, I am dead."

"Not you! We! W-"

"Shhh!" Allura retorted out loud, however, since her voice was too loud, Nux's placed his finger on his mouth and signalled her to be silent.

"If anyone founds out, we both die. I am not crazy like you. Don't involve me in your games!" Allura retorted, however, this time, her voice was a lot lower than before.

A small smile appeared on Nux's face.

This was fun~

"Oh c'mon, how come you are called The Bored Concubine, don't tell me you weren't excited.

You were, right? How many years has it been since you felt so much excitement?

Can't you take a small risk like this?

Or would you like to keep living as a bored concubine just because you are a little scared?"

Nux teased.

"…"

Allura stayed silent.

A small risk!

That's fucking death!

How is that a small risk!

Is he out of his mind!?

She really wished she could hit that smiling face right now. However, it will cause a commotion for sure and she didn't want that.

"Alright, now, where's my tea?" Nux questioned.

"...you want to drink tea?" Allura questioned, and a few veins popped on her forehead.

She was really holding back right now.

"Isn't that why you called me here? To have an afternoon tea with you?" Nux questioned back.

Allura took a deep breath, she was losing it right now.

"YO-"

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

However, before she could say anything, she heard a knock, the door opened and a maid walked in.

Allura's body stiffened, her heart started racing wildly, she turned her head mechanically and a sigh escaped her mouth when she saw that the young man wasn't there. She glanced below, where Nux hid previously and shook her head when she saw the excited smile on his face.

To be honest… she was feeling excited as well…

The excitement she has never felt before…

But she wouldn't say that out loud.

"Why are you here?"

"Your afternoon tea, Lady Allura." The maid answered.

A frown appeared on Allura's face when she heard her, she then pointed at her hand and the maid's eyes widened.

"I am sorry about that, Lady Allura. There must have been an error in our calculations today, I deeply apologize for this mistake." The maid bowed.

"Alright, no problem. I actually wanted to drink a little more, so it's all fine. Leave a cup there." Allura pointed at the table and ordered.

"Yes, Lady Allura." The maid then placed a cup on the table, filled it with tea and left.

Nux then came out and looked at the teacup on the table, ha small smile appeared on his face.

"Heh. To think you had already ordered a cup for me. Lady Allura, you are really shy. You could have told me that you were looking forward to this afternoon tea, that little gesture could have made my day, you know.

Not that drinking with you hasn't already made my day" Nux muttered as he picked up the cup and started drinking.

"Can't you hear? It was a mistake! I didn't order anything! I was not looking forward to anything!"

Allura retorted.

"Shhh!" Nux gestured to be silent again and Allura lowered her head as she looked around cautiously.

A big smile appeared on Nux's face.

As for the tea, he already knew that she didn't order it because it was him who ordered it.

The 'error' in the calculations was done by Edda, the head maid.

A shameless move indeed.

"Lady Allura, won't you ask me to sit?" Nux questioned as he pointed at the chair.

Allura sighed in defeat.

What a luck this bastard has, however, she didn't reject him.

From the moment he entered her room, she still didn't know how he did it without alerting her two protectors, there has never been a single moment where she wasn't excited.

This was thrilling.

Drinking tea with a man that the king doesn't know about inside the Royal palace, heh, this was fun.

'Ughhh… I am becoming like him…'

Allura groaned.

The two of them then sat down on the chair, and Allura finally regained her calm.

She realized that she was being too passive today, she wouldn't let that happen again. She needed to start the conversation this time, this was the only way for her to take the lead.

"Oh, by the way, why did you leave so quickly yesterday? The way you left, I thought you were scared of me" Allura questioned with a small chuckle.

"Ahh, that, I was a little shocked when I learned your identity, so I needed a little time to prepare for our meeting," Nux answered.

Actually, he did that so he could see her surprised face today and,

It was totally worth it!

"Oh? What did you prepa-"

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Allura wanted to ask, however, someone knocked on the door again and her face, which had barely regained its original colour paled again.
