947 You really do have a thing for your mother, don't you?
"You… You were planning to destroy the entire City just to avenge Mother who didn't even die!?" Rune questioned with a horrified look on her face. Her eyes still couldn't look away from the big Magic Circle in front of her.
"…"
Felix lowered his head.
If it was before, he would have retorted instantly,
'Mother was wrongly accused! Oberon needed to pay!'
'I don't care about others as long as I can avenge my mother!'
And a lot more things, however, right now, Felix couldn't say anything.
"You really do have a thing for your mother, don't you?"
Nux who was standing beside Felix commented with an amazed look on his face.
Felix just clenched his fists in frustration but still didn't say anything. What could he even say?
"Well, whatever, I guess you should tell your father. Since we know the plan now, we can use this to our advantage."
Nux spoke as he glanced at Rune.
Rune nodded.
Nux then placed his hand on Felix's shoulder and,
"I am sure you will help us out, right Felix? I am sure you want to take revenge for being manipulated like this" He spoke.
"I am not interested in any of that."
Felix, however, shook his head.
"I do not want any revenge, you wanted to know the plan and I revealed it, now please, leave me alone. Just lock me back into my cell again."
Felix had enough.
He didn't wish to play this ruthless game anymore.
He just wanted to be locked into a place where no one could come find him or talk to him.
"Heh, I guess you were lying when you said you cared for Lady Rune."
Suddenly, Nux shook his head with a disappointed look on his face.
"Was it you trying to manipulate Lady Rune into helping you?"
"Stop spouting bullshit," Felix spoke as he glanced at Nux's face with his dead eyes.
"You are willing to let your Sister die and I am the one spouting bullshit? What kind of idiotic logic is that?"
"Be glad that I am bound by these chains," Felix threatened.
His voice didn't hold much power, however, Rune could feel her brother's rage.
Nux, however, just smiled,
"If you do not help us, then the plan you revealed is useless for us. Your mother wouldn't move unless you decide to take our side and help us, and if your mother won't move, then she wouldn't get caught.
Yes, I did find all the spies she had planted in the City Manor and the Manor is safe now, but do you really think a resourceful woman like your mother would stop just because one of her plans failed?
She would use plan B, if she doesn't have any plan B then she would think of one, and this time, since you won't be available, she would use Lady Rune.
Don't forget, your mother is a woman who came up with the idea of assassinating Rune just to get her revenge.
You think Lady Rune will be safe once that happens?
Aren't your actions the same as allowing your mother to aim for your sister? You are practically just closing your eyes and ignoring it when the potential killer of your sister is right in the palm of your hands.
It is honestly the same as sending your sister to die.
If that is how you act with people you 'love', then maybe our values are completely different because if it was a person I loved,
I would have sacrificed my life if it meant that I could save them and I would have done it without hesitation."
Nux momentarily glanced at Rune when he said the last sentence, then, he turned back towards Felix and just smirked as if he was looking down on him.
"…what do you want?"
Felix questioned as he gave in to Nux's words.: owner of this content.
He knew Nux was trying to manipulate him...
However,I think you should take a look at
He had no other option.
Rune was the only person left in his life.
The only person he could trust.
The only person he could love.
He couldn't let his mother kill his sister…
So to protect her… even if he had to betray his mother…
He would do it…
With his mind made up, Felix glanced at Nux, waiting for his answer.
Nux, however, just shook his head and backed away, "Well that is not something I will tell you. Your Sister will be taking from here."
Nux then glanced at Rune and,
"Our job is done here."
"I will always be grateful for your help," Rune replied as she looked into Nux's eyes.
A portal then formed in front of Nux, he turned around, however, just before he stepped in, he glanced at Rune again and,
"I will be keeping an eye on the whole situation if something out of the ordinary happens, I will protect you, however, keep this in mind,
I will only protect you."
"You wouldn't need to, nothing will go wrong from here on."
Rune replied as she looked into Nux's golden eyes.
Hearing that answer, Nux chuckled,
"I love confident women."
Then, he walked into the portal and the portal disappeared.
"…"
Silence fell over the room.
Felix glanced at Rune, his mind filled with different thoughts.
"Let's go and have a talk with Father."
Rune spoke.
"I will do what you want me to do."
Felix replied.
His words made it clear,
Even after all that happened, the only person he was willing to listen to was Rune, what Oberon wanted or did was none of his concerns.
That man still attacked his mother, and although he was about to do the same or something even worse when he betrays her, he still couldn't forgive his father.
Rune looked into Felix's eyes, then, a small smile appeared on her face as she ruffled Felix's hair just like how she used to do when they were children.
Seeing his big Sister, Felix smiled a little as well.
The two then nodded to each other and left the room.
Once the room was empty,
The [Core]'s Portal formed again.
Nux stepped out.
'Be careful.'
Amaya spoke.
'Don't worry, I won't take any unnecessary risks.
And I have a feeling that I wouldn't need to take any either.'
Nux replied with a meaningful smile on his face.
Then, he concealed his presence and walked out of the room as well.
Secretly following Rune in order to protect her.
