Chapter 1155  Oh, right…  I guess you didn\'t know…

Oberon spoke as he looked into his daughter\'s eyes.

"Father…?" Rune was shocked.

"You want to help him, correct?"

"B-But I am not strong enough…"

"Didn\'t he say that you are wrong about that and that he needs you by his side? When he has come all this way just to seek your help, how can you deem yourself unworthy of helping him?

From how I see it, this feels more like you trying to find an excuse to not help him.

If that is the case and you truly do not wish to leave with him, then by all means, stay here, the City needs a competent heir anyway, however, if that is not the case and you truly return the favor,

Then you need to leave."

Oberon spoke and Rune\'s expression changed.

She stared at her, father for a while, then, she glanced at Nux who simply smiled at her, and in the end, she sighed,

"I will do my best to help you in any way possible." She spoke with an earnest look on her face.

"And that is exactly what I need." Nux nodded as his smile widened and he quickly formed a portal again.

"You can leave." Oberon repeated, then, he turned towards his son, and, "Felix will be taking over your duties till you return. So you do not have to worry about anything."

"Yes, father."

Rune nodded.

"Take care of things here, Brother Felix. It would be good if you get used to things around here." Nux spoke with a playful smile on his face as well.

Felix stared at this shameless man in front of him and couldn\'t say anything.

Nux shrugged and turned towards Rune.

"Please." He gestured the Cat woman to move into the Portal he had created, however, just as he was about to follow her,

\'If something happens to my daughter, I will use everything at my disposal to kill you. Even if I can\'t find you, I will wait for you to appear and I will continue to wait till eternity.\'

He heard Oberon\'s threat.

Nux paused, then, he turned towards the father and smiled gently, \'I assure you, Lord Oberon, I will not disappoint you, or her.\'

\'…that girl may not show it, but she has a gentle heart, a heart that has already been broken once. Please be careful and considerate to her.\'

Oberon\'s tone turned unusually gentle.

\'Since the start, I haven\'t been close to my children because of my distance nature, I have tried to change myself but habits formed for 1000s of years do not simply change just because you want them to. Not to mention that the gap between me and my daughter has already widened to the point where if I change my approach a little too much too quickly, Rune might think that I am doing it out of pity for her and wouldn\'t like it.

You, however, I believe are different.

Try to get her to open up to you, try to get close to her. I know you are trying to win her heart, but don\'t be too hasty when you do that. Take it slow, get close to her, let things flow naturally, and…

Take care of my daughter.\'

Oberon spoke and this time, Nux was actually surprised.

This man actually cared for his daughter.

He didn\'t think that was the case when he saw him the last time he was here.

\'Well, that\'s a surprise.\' He muttered to himself, then, he glanced at his future father-in-law and,

\'I will heed your words.\'

Saying those words, he turned around following Rune and stepping into the portal as well.

The two glanced at the Father-son pair one last time, Nux smiled,

"I will be taking your daughter away now."

"Father, I will return as soon as I settle things there," Rune spoke as well.

Of course, Rune wasn\'t a fool. Nux\'s intentions were as clear as a day in her eyes, he did not need her help in any way, she knew Nux was far more capable and resourceful for that, especially now that he had returned, turning into a much more absurd monstrosity than before.

Rune knew that the only reason Nux wanted her close to him was because he was still aiming for her even after she had rejected him before.

So her saying this to her father was her way of telling Nux that she won\'t be falling for his methods.

Nux, who could tell what the Cat woman was thinking just smiled. Then, he waved his hand, the Portal closed and now, Nux and Rune were alone inside the [Core].

"How did you get Felix to be on your side?"

Rune questioned without wasting any time.

She could already tell Felix was in this from before, rather, she was positive that Nux had visited Felix before coming to her and her father.

And this is what surprised Rune. She didn\'t think Felix would actively help any man court her sister, after the case with Willow, Felix rarely trusted anyone.

The only person he cared for was Rune, therefore, he was especially overprotective of her. He reacted aggressively to anyone who tried to court Rune through him, sometimes things were so bad that Rune was forced to jump in and settle the issue later.

Now, however, the same brother was actually helping another man court her, Rune was surprised, Nux, however just chuckled,

"He just wants the best for his sister and knows that I am that \'best\'. The only missing piece that would turn your life into a perfect fairy tale once I get in."

"Stop daydreaming, I have already made this clear before, I will repeat it again. I am not looking for any romantic relations as I do not believe in them."

"Are you saying that you think I will be like Aragorn and will betray you in the end?"

"That is not the case, Nux. I know you are different from that man, however, I already gave my heart to someone once and that someone tore it apart, now I am simply incapable of handing my heart over to someone else again."

Rune spoke in a solemn, fixed tone that showed her unwillingness to waver.

"You just had a bad experience, Rune. Not everyone is out there to get you, some just want the best for you and genuinely care about you."

Nux spoke as he looked into Rune\'s eyes.

Rune looked back, seeing the look in Nux\'s eyes, she couldn\'t help but frown in confusion,

"Why are you doing this? You are surrounded by beautiful women, almost all women in this world want you as their partner, and rarely any woman would ever reject you, even women stronger and much more influential than me would be the same, so why go after someone you know will reject your advances?

Is this the chase?

The feeling of \'conquering\' the woman who rejected you before? Is that it?"

Hearing those words, Nux couldn\'t help but smile,

"That\'s quite a wild accusation."

"It is merely an observation," Rune replied.

"All those women you are talking about have one problem."

"What is it?"

"They aren\'t you."

"…"

Rune turned silent.

Nux walked towards the petite catkin and,

"Is it the feeling of \'conquering\' a woman who rejected me? I do not know. Do I wish to make you mine? Yes. But am I doing this because you rejected me? Absolutely not.

The only thing I know is that you are someone I feel a genuine attraction to, even after so many years have passed. Is it because you are pretty? That is one of the factors, however, it is more related to the time I spent with you.

What I am more attracted to is your nature, your heart, whenever I see you and realize that you are the woman who was \'betrayed\' by your lover, I feel rage.

That ass-face missed a golden opportunity when it was served right in front of him, do you even realize how annoying that is? Do you realize how frustrating it is when you say you gave your heart to someone like him?

I feel jealous.

I feel I would have done a much better job if I was in his place.

That\'s why I act.

To prove myself and to treat a woman like you in a way you should have been treated to begin with."

Nix replied with a genuine look as he got closer to Rune, unlike other women, however, Rune didn\'t step back while her heart skipped a beat, rather, she had already come up with a reply,

"What you said would have worked,

If you had said it a 1000 years ago.

I am too old to be moved by those words, Nux."

"Aaaahhh!! It is already outdated? How? Aragorn told me that\'s how he did it.

Did he perhaps lie? No, that\'s not possible.

Then how…"

Nux couldn\'t understand.

Rune, however, was focused on something entirely different.

"Aragorn…?"

"Oh, right…

I guess you didn\'t know…"

Nux realized.
