What if I become the Ruler of this Kingdom?

"It should have helped you as well, did it not?"

Suddenly, Nux questioned with a slight smile on his face.

"…" Suddenly, Evane turned silent.

Nux then pulled her near him, her breasts touching his chest, their forehead and nose touching each other's, Nux's hands touching Evane's lower back while her hands touched his shoulders.

The two of them could feel each other's breath on their lips and in this position, Nux spoke in a low voice,

"You know you can talk to me when you feel troubled, don't you? You don't have to deal with everything alone. I want you to be a strong Evane like you were back in the Royal Hall, however, it is okay to be weak around someone you love. I will not hurt you."

This time, there was no playfulness in Nux's voice, his voice was filled with warmth and gentleness.

He started caressing her hair lovingly and questioned,

"Lovis's death still affected you, didn't it?"

"…"

Evane didn't say anything.
