Chapter 123 Is It Not What Makes It Exciting?
"Heehhh? Lady Allura, are you thinking about another man when you promised to drink tea with me this afternoon? Now that's not very nice, is it?"
Allura's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard a voice, she then turned around and saw a familiar young man standing with a small smile on his face.
"Y-Y-You… why are you here!?" Allura questioned in fright.
"Hmm? Aren't you the one who invited me in the first place?" Nux questioned with a frown.
He couldn't understand the current situation.
Why is she acting so surprised?
Wasn't she the one who invited him?
He was full of questions.
"Y-You! Do you even know where this place is!?" Allura questioned in rage.
"The royal palace?"
"YES! The royal palace! This is THE ROYAL PALACE! And do you know who I am?"
"Ughhh… you really like boasting your identity huh… you are Allura Skyfall, the 7th concubine of the king of the Skyfall Kingdom. Yes, I know that. You told me already…" Nux answered nonchalantly.
"…" Allura panicked even more.
This man doesn't realize it at all!
"Are you stupid!? Think a little.
This is the Royal Palace!
I am the Concubine of the king!
You are an unknown man who entered my room!
Don't you understand what that means!?"
Allura questioned, she had completely lost her calm now.
"Wait…" Nux's eyes widened in realization.
"You are a concubine… I am an unknown man in your room… an unknown man in king's concubine's room… If anyone finds out…"
"Yes! The two of us will be executed!" Allura answered.
"Then doesn't this mean that no one should know about it?" Nux questioned.
"Of course! No one! Not a single soul should know about it!" Allura answered, she couldn't believe how slow this young boy in front of her was.
"Then why are you shouting?" Nux questioned.
"…"
This time, Allura turned silent…
She couldn't believe she was acting so irrationally right now…
"Lady Allura! Is everything fine there?"
As if on cue, Allura heard her protector's voice and she panicked.
"Lady Allura!" The protector who was standing outside panicked when he didn't hear any answer.
He quickly slammed the door open and entered.
Allura's eyes widened in horror, "T-This is not what it looks like!" She tried to deny it but wasn't able to come up with any logical explanation. ????????????
"Lady Allura! Are you alright!? Why didn't you answer when I called you?" The protector questioned.
Allura frowned.
This wasn't the reaction she was expecting.
She then turned around and noticed that the young man wasn't there anymore.
'Where did he go?' She started looking around and soon, her eyes fell on Nux's face, which was out while his whole body was hiding under her bed.
Allura felt that he was crazy since he was still smiling in this tense situation. However, she quickly realized that she doesn't have the time to think about all this.
She quickly stepped in front of Nux's face, hiding it from the protector as she answered.
"A-Ahh that? I was about t-to answer, however, you entered too quickly so I panicked a little…"
The protector narrowed his eyes.
Lady Allura was acting a little unusual today.
"Lady Allura, who was the man you were talking to before?" He questioned.
"Huh? What man? Do you see anyone?" Allura questioned calmly, however, inwardly, she was panicking.
"Wasn't there a man who you were talking to? I clearly heard you say, 'this is the Royal Palace! I am the Concubine of the king! You are an unknown man who entered my room! Don't you understand what that means!?' your voice sounded a little fearful as well…" The protector muttered.
"Oh? W-What are you talking about, protector?" Allura acted ignorantly, she tried to hide everything behind a smile.
However, the protector took that smile differently.
He knew her personality, he knew how much she liked entertainment more than anyone else and to what length she could go to entertain herself.
He was the one who was guarding her room, anyone who enters and exits the room is always under his eyes and he didn't see any man entering the room.
This whole thing must be a farce arranged by Lady Allura in order to entertain herself…
'It was quite a good plan; if it weren't for that smile on her face… I would have been fooled by her…
Tsk Tsk, just how far would you go for the sake of a few minutes of entertainment?' the protector thought inwardly as he glanced at Allura and saw that weird smile on her face.
'Hmph! Try all you want but you can't hide that smile from my keen eyes! I won't be playing this game with you anymore!' He snorted inwardly as he muttered.
"Ah, Lady Allura, it must be my fault. I think my age is affecting me a little and I am starting to hear things. This has happened to me before as well. I am sorry to disturb your rest, Lady Allura. I will take my leave now." Saying that, the protector quickly turned around and left.
He didn't want to stay here for a minute longer.
This woman was crazy…
'Huh?' Allura remained silent, dumbfounded by how she got away.
She had no clue that her 'bored' personality saved her.
No one knows what her reaction will be if she found out why she was saved.
After the protector left, Nux came out and stood in front of Allura with a small smile on his face.
"Why are you still smiling? Don't you know how dangerous this is?" Allura questioned, however, this time, her voice was a lot lower than before.
She has learned from her past mistakes.
"I know how dangerous it is. We both will die if anyone finds out about it." Nux answered.
"Then why are you smiling like that!?" Allura questioned with a frown.
"Heh. It is a dangerous situation indeed." Nux admitted.
"However, is it not what makes it exciting?" Nux questioned with a big smile on his face.
