Chapter 414 l am proud of my past brave self.

"So, how have you been?"

Arvina questioned with a small smile on her face.

"Fine, no, more than fine actually, I am doing better than I ever have."

Evane answered with a bright smile on her face.

Mind you, Evane was a Princess, fooling her was definitely not easy.

She had noticed that Arvina was not acting like her usual self. She was… well, it was as if she was trying to hide something.

However, Evane didn't have a solid proof of that, also, she trusted that Arvina was not going to hurt her.

That's why, she decided to play this little game of hers.

It can actually act as a practice session before she actually plays these games with every other person she meets in the Royal Palace.

"So? Why leave so suddenly? Did someone say anything to you?"

Arvina questioned.

Evane looked at her and smiled,

"Do you really think someone has the galls to say anything to the Princess of the Skyfall Kingdom?"

A surprised look appeared on Arvina's face.

This was the first time Evane talked about her status in front of her.

Evane however, didn't care about what she was thinking and just continued to smile.

'You dare to against the Princess of the Skyfall Kingdom?'

'Do you think you can say those words in front of the father, the King? How do you think he would react if he finds out?'

'Are you threatening me? The Princess? You sure are brave, aren't you?'

'Think about the consequences before you do anything.'

'Name your Price.'

These were the few sentences Amaya has taught her. She needs to learn a lot of things, changing the topic, finding out small details, knowing whether someone is lying or not, intimidating the target, planting self-doubt or any other feeling in anyone's mind,

She needed to learn all these things, it was not a fast process, but these sentences would help a lot.

Therefore, like the good student she was, Evane was using these sentences and noting her target's reactions to them.

This time, her aim was to change the topic.

However, these amateurish moves wouldn't really work in front of a woman like Arvina.

"It is because of Nux, isn't it?"

Arvina questioned directly.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Evane acted confused.

However, Arvina wasn't going to let her go that easily,

"You are going back to Royal Palace and you are going there because of Nux, aren't you?"

She directly jumped onto the topic, something that would rarely happen in the Royal Palace.

Evane didn't know how to answer that, therefore,

"Think about the consequences before you do anything."

She directly repeated one of the sentences Amaya told her to speak.

"What…?"

Arvina tilted her head in confusion.

"…"

Evane, however, didn't say anything and continued to look at Arvina with a serious look on her face.

A serious look appeared on Arvina's face and she nodded,

"Don't worry, I am prepared for anything."

"…"

This time, Evane was actually confused.

What the hell was she talking about? What is she prepared for? Is that some sort of signal? Hmm?

Seeing that she wasn't replying, Arvina decided to move further.

"I know about you and Nux already."

This time, Evane's eyes widened in surprise.

"You do?"

"Yes, he told me about it.

Don't forget, I am his teacher, he shares everything with me."

Hearing that, Evane just shook her head,

"Trust me, he does not share everything with you.

You are missing out on the best part."

The Skyla inside Evane woke up.

"Huh?"Text © owned by .

Arvina frowned.

"Ah, don't worry about it. I just… spew some nonsense from time to time."

Evane shook her head and then, she changed the topic.

"And yes, you are right, I am going back because of Nux. He has a certain plan in his mind and according to that plan, I need to enter the Royal Palace."

"A plan?"

Arvina frowned.

"Yes, but before you ask me any further questions, let me tell you that I will not tell you anything, my lips are sealed."

Arvina looked at Evane's serious face and understood that she wasn't joking at all.

"But you told me that you were going back on your own accord?"

Arvina questioned with a frown.

"Of course, I am."

Evane nodded.

"Your two statements don't match up."

Arvina commented.

"It does, for Nux's plan, I need to be in the Royal Palace, and since I want him to succeed, I will go to the Royal Palace. What's the problem?"

"You are going there because Nux wants you to, not on your own accord."

Arvina answered.

"Didn't you say Nux is your student? You have been with him for so long, do you really think he will force his wife to do something she doesn't want to?"

"…"

This time, Arvina turned silent.

"He did not force me, I am going there on my own accord.

I want to help him."

Evane spoke with a beautiful smile on her face.

"…you really love him a lot, don't you?"

Arvina commented.

"Of course I do."

Evane nodded without a second of hesitation.

"Don't you… feel a little strange?"

Arvina finally asked what she wanted to ask.

"What do you mean?"

Evane tilted her head in confusion.

"I mean, he was your student just a few days ago… don't you think find it strange that he is now… your husband?"

Arvina questioned.

A small chuckle escaped Evane's mouth and then she nodded.

"It does feel a bit strange.

To be in a relationship with your own student, feels like I am doing something wrong."

"…"

Arvina turned silent.

This is exactly what she was going through after Nux proposed to her.

She just couldn't imagine herself with a student she was teaching.

"However,"

But, Evane was not done yet.

"When I compare this strange feeling and the desire in my heart.

Desire wins by a big margin."

"Desire?"

Arvina frowned.

"Desire for Nux of course.

My heart desired him, this strange feeling did stop me at first, however, in the end, I decided to take a single bold step, and now,

I am proud of my past brave self.

I truly believe that it is all about that one brave step."
