"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.
