CHAPTER 93 HOW ABOUT YOU PUT THAT LOUD MOUTH FOR A GOOD USE?
"AAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Seeing her scream like that, and then noticing the pill that fell from her mouth, Nux quickly understood what happened.
She tried to kill herself, for a slave, killing themselves without their master's permission is not different from betraying them.
Since she tried to betray her master, the pain she felt increased by several folds.
Nux did not know how terrible this pain was; he just walked toward her and muttered.
"Stay loyal to me and the pain will subside"
The words 'pain will subside' echoed inside Thyra's mind, she quickly threw all the thoughts about killing herself or attacking Nux and finally felt the pain subsiding.
"Haah… ha… haa…" She then closed her eyes as her whole body trembled.
"All of you, throw the pills you have in your mouth and don't try to kill yourself. Else you might be the next one suffering from this pain" Nux then glanced at the other assassins and ordered.
Seeing 'One' lying on that ground, completely defeated, the assassins felt weird, however, their body did as Nux ordered and they all spat out the poison pill they had in their mouth.
"Good"
Nux then glanced at the two other assassins who were screaming in pain and told them the same thing he did to Thyra.
A while later, Thyra stood up and she glanced at Nux with an expressionless and tired face, Nux glanced at her curiously as he questioned.
"What happened?"
"You are not with Marquees Longe. You did everything to trick us… even Alger was with you in this act"
"Hm? Why do you think so?" Nux questioned with a smile.
"If Marquees Longe had the power to command someone like you, Alger wouldn't be alive till now."
"You are sharp"
"I still don't understand a few things"
"What are they?" Nux questioned.
"How did you manage to move your army so close to us without even letting us know?"
"I do not have any army, those were Alger's soldiers."
Thyra's and the assassins' eyes widened in surprise as they glanced at Alger, who was still standing there with his head bowed. Thyra then shook her head and questioned.
"Why are you after us?"
"You people attacked my Edda and Fel"
"Edda and Fel?"
"The Head Maid Edda and Viscount Felberta"
Nux replied as he removed his mask.
"You are…"
"Nux Leander. The one you send 'Four', 'Five', 'Six', and 'Seven' after"
"You advanced to Master Stage."
"I did"
"Okay, next question, what have you done to us?"
Alger's ears perked up when he heard that question. He also wished to know what happened to him. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ ꪶ
"I turned you all into my slaves. You can't deny any of my orders from now on. Also, if you even think about betraying me, that intense pain will assault you again. In simple words, your life is mine now."
Thyra's body twitched when she thought about the pain she felt.
"How did you do it?" She questioned.
"I can't tell you that"
"…"
Thyra stayed silent for a while before asking another question.
"Last question, You should know about the kingdom that supports us, are you sure you can go against it?"
"Kingdom of Skadi, I know that. And as for going against it, I don't have those plans right now, but if we do clash in the future, I am sure that the kingdom won't come out of it scratch less."
Hearing his words, Thyra's icy blue eyes turned cold as she replied,
"You won't be able to do anything to the kingdom. Although you might control my body, my mind will remain loyal to the kingdom. I will find a way to get back at you and then…
Kill you"
Again, Nux was surprised, she did not feel any pain when she said those words. Aren't those words equal to betraying the Master? Why isn't she feeling anything?
"Tell me, why aren't you feeling any pain?"
In the end, Nux decided to ask her.
"I don't know how the tortures activates, so I tried to remove the 'intent' from my words and it worked"
Nux stared at her blankly and ordered.
"Tell me in simpler words. I don't understand what you just said"
"I removed the 'intent' from my word, that means, though I said I will kill you, it is more like a statement, I am not actually thinking about killing you"
Although she did not want to answer him, Thyra's mouth moved on her own as she replied.
Nux blinked in surprise. Although she made it look like it was nothing special, it wasn't as simple as that. This hiding the 'intent' thing was not that easy.
Every time you say something, your subconscious mind would think about it. For example, the words, 'I will kill you'. Your subconscious mind would think about killing even if you try not to. It is more like an involuntary action.
"Can you use this technique to betray me in the future?" Nux questioned.
Thyra screamed in her mind to not reply to it but again, her body moved automatically and she answered.
"I cannot, saying words without the 'intent' might be possible, but doing something without 'intent' is not. No matter how hard one tries, he can't hide the 'intent' of what he is going to do."
Thyra gritted her teeth after she answered and seeing the smile that appeared on Nux's face after her answer, she gritted her teeth even more.
"Heh… then how are you planning to kill me?"
"Don't worry, in the future, I will find a way to deal with this pathetic magic of yours and will kill you for sure. It's not like a weak Master Stage cultivator like you can defeat me anyways"
"Wow, you are really good at this, aren't you?" Nux chuckled; he was very impressed by this Thyra.
"I am not good, it is you who is really bad" Thyra answered with an expressionless face. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Nux's face twitched at her response and he replied.
"Your mouth is really loud huh. Why don't I shut that up and put it to good use?"
