Chapter 780 That Boy Is Dangerous
Chapter 780 That Boy Is Dangerous
?
"What do you want, Mother?"
Melia questioned directly.
Hearing that question, Ambrosia just smiled,
"There is nothing in particular that I want…" Then, her red eyes turned towards Nux and she questioned,
"I only want an honest answer.
You already knew I was eavesdropping on your conversation, didn't you?"
Nux narrowed his eyes, Ambrosia, however, just smiled at Nux as she waited for the answer.
"I did."
In the end, Nux just answered honestly.
He could have lied, however, for some reason, he felt like Ambrosia would be able to see through all his lies, and lying here would only affect his relationship with her.
They needed her help, so going against her seemed foolish. Also, if Ambrosia wanted, she could easily learn everything about him, there was no point in hiding things from her. It would be better to give her an impression of an honest person who has nothing to hide rather than someone who has many secrets.
Making her curious about him would only be more dangerous, after all.
Nux's wives and Melia weren't surprised when they heard Nux. They knew Nux was sensitive to his surroundings.
Ambrosia chuckled.
She didn't seem very surprised either.
"I see."
She nodded.
"Nux, I hope you will take care of my daughter in the future."
Suddenly, Ambrosia spoke up.
"You do not have to worry, Lady Ambrosia.
Melia isn't someone who needs anyone's protection."
Nux smiled. Hearing those words, Melia smiled as well.
Ambrosia glanced at Nux, then she turned towards Melia, in the end, she smiled and nodded,
"You are right,
My Melia is strong."
Nux nodded.
"Alright, I know what you want, so let's not waste any time on this, let's talk with your father and make arrangements for the plan."
"You are willing to help us?" Melia questioned.
"Didn't you say this Lady named Ambrosia had a soft spot for you in her heart? There is no way she wouldn't help you and your friends, right?"
Hearing her reply, Melia just walked towards her mother and buried her face into her chest.
Ambrosia's eyes which usually showed playfulness, shined a little as she hugged her daughter.
Seeing the two of them, Amaya recalled her mother as well.
Once Melia was done, she stepped back, then with her usual emotionless face, she spoke,
"Let's talk to Father then."
Ambrosia nodded.
The group then turned around and walked toward Orpehus's room.
…
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Father, it is me." Melia spoke.
"Get in," Orpheus ordered.
Melia and the others walked in, and seeing Ambrosia with them, Orpheus couldn't help but smile.
"So you agreed."
"They called in their favor, after all. I had to agree.
And their plan seemed interesting, I wanted to try something like that out for a long time now."
"We still need the permission of the Royal Family before we do anything," Orpheus commented.
"I know that, of course. I will be leaving that to you, I don't want to watch his face for now." Ambrosia replied with a pout.
"I sometimes pity his highness."
"What did you say?" Ambrosia raised her eyebrows.
"Nothing." Orpheus just turned his head away, and then changed the topic,
"Anyways, I have already prepared a carriage, so I will be leaving for the Royal Palace soon. Keep an eye around the Mansion while I am gone."
"Mhm." Ambrosia nodded.
She wasn't surprised that Orpheus had predicted her response, which was normal.
Nux, on the other hand, was confused.
"The Permission from the Royal Family, why do we need that?"
He questioned.
"Didn't I tell you already?
This action can have terrible consequences, although we plan to avoid them, it is still something that has to be discussed with his majesty."
Nux nodded in understanding.
"Do you think he will agree?" He questioned.
Orpheus, however, just shook his head,
"If I knew that, I would have become the King, not him."
Saying those words, Orpheus turned around and waved his hand.
"All of you can leave, you will receive an answer tomorrow, do whatever you want in the meantime."
Nux nodded and then turned around.
Melia and his wives followed, Ambrosia, however, ignored Orpheus's words and didn't move.
Orpheus didn't mind, once he and Ambrosia were the only ones left in the room, he questioned,
"What is it?"
"That boy is dangerous," Ambrosia commented with a solemn look on her face.
"I know, it would be good if we maintain a good relationship with him. His potential is scary."
Orpheus nodded.
Ambrosia, however, shook her head.
"That's not what I meant."
"Hmm?" Orpheus tilted his head in confusion.
"I was talking about Melia."
Suddenly, the aura around Orpheus turned heavier as he questioned in his impassive voice.
"What are you talking about, Sia?"
"There is a high chance that that boy would take our daughter away from us."
Ambrosia replied and hearing those words, Orpheus narrowed his eyes as well.
The two Vampire couple stared at each other for a while, then suddenly,
"So you were thinking about the same thing huh."
"Melia hasn't realized it yet, but I can see in her eyes. She is different around him and I noticed she shows more emotions when he is around." Ambrosia nodded.
"That boy isn't any saint either.
Look at the number of women around him."
Orpheus snorted, not wanting to blame his daughter.
Hearing those words, Ambrosia chuckled,
"That boy does have that attractive charm inside him.
And he seems to genuinely love his wives.
I think Melia would live a happy life with him."
"There is no way I am giving my daughter away that easily."
Orpheus snorted.
"Oh? Is there anything you can do to stop it?"
"A girl always compares her possible significant other with her father, you think that a human would win if he is compared to me? That's just impossible."
"What are you even talking about? If that was the case, I would have never married you."
Ambrosia replied with a playful smile on her face.
"Please remind me who was the one who begged her father to agree to this marriage again?" a playful smile appeared on Orpheus's face as well.
For a man who rarely showed any emotions, this expression seemed a little strange and weirdly attractive.
It was a look that only Ambrosia had the privilege to see.
Of course, this didn't mean she liked this privilege. This vile man only showed this face when he was teasing her after all.
"That was only because I knew that Father would have immediately rejected you if I didn't interfere. He always talked about how good his son-in-law should be, after all.
And you…
You weren't even close to the standards he had set."
Ambrosia snorted.
"So you intervened because I couldn't meet the standards set by your father? I wonder who is the more 'desperate' one here." Orpheus chuckled.
"You…
I only did it because you would be heartbroken if I was married to someone else, alright?"
"So you cared about me."
"No, I just cared about my image." Ambrosia turned her face away.
"I had thousands of options, why would I care about you?"
"Sure Sure. There were definitely thousands of men who deserved you more than me, I get it."
Orpheus replied sarcastically.
"…"
Ambrosia turned silent.
"…you were the only one…"
She muttered in a barely audible voice, it was so low that even Orpheus with his enhanced senses couldn't hear her, however, the small pout on Ambrosia gave all of it away. He didn't have to hear her to hear her, just seeing her face was enough.
Orpheus then walked towards his lovely wife and gently pushed her head into his chest,
"You were the only one for me as well."
He whispered.
The couple embraced each other as they closed their eyes, reminiscing about the past and those beautiful memories.
At the same time, Ambrosia also recalled her loving father, who was not in this world anymore.
Orpheus sensed her grief and tightened his hug around her. Ambrosia hugged him back.
The two stayed in the same position, but,
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
10 minutes later, a knock was heard.
"Lord Orpheus, the Carriage is prepared."
Hearing the servant's words, Ambrosia gently pushed Orpheus away and spoke,
"Now go talk to him."
"You sure you don't want to meet him?" Orpheus questioned.
"I am sure," Ambrosia replied.
"He must be missing you, Sia."
"Tell him to come to see me if he misses me."
"How childish."
Orpheus chuckled.
Ambrosia turned her face away, Orpheus sighed, and then walked out of the room.
"Lord Orpheus."
The servant who was waiting outside the room bowed his head.
Orpheus nodded and continued to walk.
10 Minutes later, the servant and Orpheus appeared in front of a Golden Carriage. The Carriage looked grand and had the Bloodheart Emblem craved on it.
Just this emblem alone was enough for the normal vampires to walk out of the way, Orpheus moved into the Carriage. The servant bowed his head again, and then turned towards the rider and nodded.
The carriage started and Orpheus finally left the Bloodheart House.
Ambrosia, who was observing him leave from the window of Orpheus's room just stayed silent. It seemed that she had a lot on her mind, however, in the end, she just sighed and started walking toward her room as well.
