Chapter 133 How Strong?

Chapter 133 How Strong?

"Trust me."

Nux muttered and for some reason, Allura thought she could trust him a little.

"Enter." She ordered.

She then heard the voice of the door opening, time around her slowed down and she observed the door opening in slow motion. Each passing mini second, Allura's heartbeat quickened and she started panicking a little.

What if Nux's trick didn't work?

What if the servant saw another unknown man beside her?

Actually, the servant seeing them together was fine since he didn't know who she was, however, what if the protectors saw Nux?

What would they think?

Would they try to side with her and shut their mouth?

Or would they tell everything to the king?

What if the king learns about it?

Will he kill her?

Of course he will!

He will execute her publically!

He wouldn't even think twice about that!

As countless thoughts appeared in her mind, Allura panicked even more.

Suddenly, she started regretting her decision.

However, it was already too late, the door opened and the servant entered the room.

Allura's heart skipped a beat, she quickly turned her head and her eyes widened in horror when she noticed that Nux was sitting right beside her with a small smile on his face.

'Did his technique fail!?' She thought inwardly and panicked even more.

If Allura was a heart patient, then today, she would have died for sure.

"Don't worry, he can't see me."

Allura was then brought out of her reverie when she heard Nux's voice.

She then turned around as she glanced at the servant and was quick to notice that what Nux said was true, the servant indeed didn't notice him.

A sigh of relief escaped her mouth.

However, Nux had other plans in his mind.

His smile widened as he stood up and walked toward the servant.

Allura's heart which had barely calmed down started beating faster again.

'Why is he moving in front of him!?' She questioned inwardly however, her eyes widened in horror when she saw Nux picking up a meatball from the table and eating it in front of the servant.

"Y-Y-You… do you not see him?" Allura couldn't help but question.

"See what? Lady Natalia?" The servant questioned in a humble tone.

He has heard about this guest and was told that he should act very very respectfully; else this will be his last day at work and probably his life.

Allura's eyes widened in surprise.

'He is standing right in front of you! How can you not see him!?' She wanted to scream out loud however, she didn't do it.

She was sane enough to hold back.

However, she wasn't able to hide her surprised expression which the servant found weird.

"Lady Natalia? Is there something wrong? I apologize for my incompetence, please tell me what I am unable to see, I assure you that I will improve myself and deal with whatever problem you are facing"

The servant practically begged.

He felt that he had somehow missed an important detail that had offended this woman in front of him.

He still had his family, that relies on him, he can't die here!

Allura was taken aback by his question, she then pointed at the window and said a random excuse that came to her mind.

"A crow. There was a crow there. It must have flown away now."

"Lady Natalia, is that crow annoying you? Do you want me to do something about that crow? Should I send someone to catch it?" The servant questioned.

"No need.

Also, I don't really think you can catch him"

She muttered the last line in a very soft voice.

"What?" The servant, who couldn't hear her, questioned.

"Nothing, I said you do not need to do anything, just serve the food. Oh yes, keep an extra pair of cutlery here." Allura ordered.

"As you say, Lady Natalia" The servant did everything quickly and sighed in relief.

He lived to see another day.

Just 12 more days, then he will get his salary; he was planning to buy a new dress for his daughter.

"I will take my leave now, Lady Natalia. I hope you have a good day ahead and enjoy your stay here" He then bowed and left the room.

When the servant left, Nux smiled at Allura and sat on the chair. However, Allura wasn't as comfortable as him.

"A-Are you a ghost…? A-Are you here to get your revenge? If yes, then I promise I wasn't behind your death, I am innocent. I haven't even killed an animal before. I only eat the meat others hunt. I am innocent."

She muttered with moist eyes, Nux was sure that if he didn't say anything, she would start crying right here.

"A-Are you not here to kill me? Is it something like only I can see you? Do you want my help to get your revenge? If that is the case, then I can help you. However, I will need to hear your whole story, I won't kill someone innocent for your revenge no matter how much you scare me."

Since Nux was silent, Allura thought about other possibilities and offered.

"You should stop reading too many fantasy books, Lady Allura." Nux couldn't help but shake his head.

"I am not a ghost." He muttered.

"Then how is it that only I can see you?" Allura questioned.

"Didn't your protectors see me the first time we met?"

Allura's eyes widened in surprise as she realized this was true.

"T-Then how…"

"This is my ability, once I activate it, no one can see me unless I don't want him/her to." Nux then brought his face close to hers and muttered.

"This is how I managed to sneak into your room without anyone noticing.

Cool right?"

"D-Doesn't this make you a perfect assassin?" Allura questioned.

"Of course, I don't look like it, but I am strong, you know?"

"How strong?" Allura questioned curiously, for some reason, she felt that Nux wouldn't harm her.

Nux's smile widened when he heard her question and he answered.

"Stronger than the King."
