Chapter 89: LUKE DISCOVERS THE SECRET BEHIND VAELIRA’S MASK
Nyra, Elias and Vivienne, who was at the front, also heard their gossip but didn’t say anything to calm their minds. As they were also worried, though, slightly because they felt with their strength they couldn’t clear the exit condition.
’Nyra and the Count’s family?’ Luke from the above saw all of this and got surprised but then he tried to find his knights or his people among the group.
Sadly he coudn’t able to find a single one. ’Are they not here?’ This thought comes into his mind, which also brings worry. But he still calm himself down by saying that they will be fine and maybe with other groups.
With that, he decided that they should ignore them. Because he doesn’t have any good impressions toward nobles, even though Lady Nyra is a good person. but seeing she is safe with her family. He maked this decision.
Well, at least that’s what he thought. "WHO’S THERE!" But somehow, someone among them is a perception type, who identifies their location easily, as they were not using any ability to hide.
Seeing they are already exposed. Luke, along with Naira and Vaelira, jumped toward the ground.
THUD! With a thud-sound impact, they landed safely on the ground, though some dust cloud formed, which made the surrounding nobles back away in fear of the unknown, while knights stepped forward before pointing their swords toward the dust cloud.
"Sir Luke!" But then suddenly Nyra’s voice rang out, which makes all of them got confused. ’What is he doing here?’ and the next moment they saw his figure, though he was not alone, as there were two women were also present beside him.
"Princess Naivara!" Someone from the crowd exclaims happily after identify her. Because they know that royals possessed strength way above normal knights. So seeing Naivara, they instantly understood that Luke survived because he got lucky, which is why he was safe.
Luke didn’t know about their misunderstanding, and even he knew. He would not care about them.
"Lady Nyra, I am happy seeing you are doing fine and Sir Elias and Lady Vivienne as well." Luke brought his focus to the Count family, and with a smile he greeted them.
On this Nyra’s face bloomed, before a happy smile appeared on her face, while Elias just nodded. But Lady Vivienne’s expression got conflicted. Because she now knows how her daughter became happy after seeing Luke, like she had found something which she was looking for for a long time and was now heading towards.
"Sir Luke, your potion and fruit were really helpful, for that I am very grateful." Nyra came close to Luke with a smile but she didn’t notice that Naira was also beside him and was giving her betrayed look. Like she is her friend, but now she is not even noticing her.
Luke, who was being thanked by Nyra, noticed Naira’s expression from his side eyes, which makes him embarrassed. So he took her thanks while saying she should also talk with her friend.
Luke finally got free, then he hold Vaelira’s hand to take her to far from the group and sat beside the tree. The same were for nobles, knights and maids because they were also planning to rest some time here before continuing their journey.
Luke while sitting, saw that many noblemen or women try to get close to Naivara so they can gain her protection. But this time Luke didn’t react aggressively like he did when someone approached Aurielle. As he had learned his lesson. that he has to control his emotions, or maybe he will hurt his wives one day.
"Master, are you okay?" While Luke was lost in thought, Vaelira’s slightly worried voice reached his ear. which brings him out of his thoughts. After that he turned toward and looked at her face, which still has a still-blue mask, next to her eyes, which contain genuine concern.
’Even though she is a silent type. She doesn’t seem heartless.’ this thought comes into his mind which bring a smile on his lips.
Luke told her that he was fine. On this the worry in Vaelira’s eyes lessened a bit, but Luke got curious. ’What’s behind the mask?’ He got curious about this and finally asked her the question. "Vaelira, why are you wearing the mask?"
Vaelira, who had just calmed down after hearing her master’s reply, suddenly got stunned by his question, and a blush appeared on her face inside her mask.
She looked toward master’s eyes and face, which seemed to really hold genuine curiosity.
Then she lowered her head, before saying in a weak voice. "Something... which makes both women and men fall for me..."
Luke heard her low voice, but it was very low. So he leaned toward her face while trying to listen her words. And when he did, he got stunned. "What?" – a ’what’ word escaped his mouth, on this, Vaelira suddenly raised her face and became stunned.
Because her master’s face was so close to her. that she can feel his hot breath along with his manly scent, which brings even more blush to her face.
"Master..." Luke also got stunned by this situation because after summoning her, it was the first time he heard her somewhat shy and weak voice. which he never expected. "Gulp", he subconsciously swallowed, as this situation is really dangerous.
Somewhere inside Luke, [kekekeke] system was laughing like this for some time like he got a short circuit. Nyx gave the system a look – ’What a pervert’ – and made some distance from the small glowing ball of white light. which is a system.
Myrkhal on the side was sleeping with the same blank face, while his mouth was gone.
[Cough...cough...] The system coughed to hide his previous act before ignoring Nyx’s look, which seems to question his existence.
Then he muttered excitedly. [Luke, if you really saw her face, then how would you be able to control yourself? In her last life, even emperors became crazed after seeing her look once.]
System voice become even more excited while thinking about those situations and he again starts laughing like crazy. [kekekekekeke]
Nyx made even more distance, because that glowing ball of light was now laughing crazily while raising his small white-light hands in the air. ’What the hell is wrong with this pervert?’ Only this thought comes into Nyx’s mind.
