"W-What did you say?" Allura questioned in surprise.

"I said it sounds fun. I will join you tomorrow afternoon." Nux answered.

"D-Do you even know who I am?" Allura questioned.

"Hmm? Again with this huh? Do you really think your identity can scare me? Heh. Let me tell you, I am not scared of anything. Rather, the higher your background, the more excited I will get."

"…"

Allura didn't say anything. After the initial shock, she was able to calm herself.

She then observed the young man in front of her. From the looks of it, he doesn't really know who she was.

'It might be interesting…' Allura thought inwardly.

She really hopes to see what kind of face will he make once she reveals her identity.

"Oh really?" she questioned.

"Of course!"

"Then I will be waiting for you tomorrow in the royal palace" Allura muttered with a small smile on her face and Nux's smile disappeared.

"R-Royal Palace?" Nux stuttered as his eyes widened in surprise.

Allura's smile widened, this was the reaction she was looking for.

Yes, this look, this nervous look, it was a lot better than that hateful smile from before.

"Yes, I am Allura Skyfall, the 7th Concubine of the King of the Skyfall Kingdom." Allura introduced herself with a playful smile on her face.

Nux's eyes widened in horror.

He then stood up, bowed a little and muttered, "I'll see you later"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away without waiting for her answer.

"Pppfftt!" Allura, who saw him walk away as soon as she revealed her identity laughed out loud.

She didn't look down on him, it was a normal reaction.

It is normal to be scared of the king of the country. Not many could walk away after offending him.

She just found his reaction funny.

With how he was talking and then how he reacted, it was amusing indeed.

'Hahaha~ That was funnn' She thought inwardly.

"..."

"..."

However, after the initial happiness, Allura's smile faded when she realized something.

Her source of entertainment was gone…

She scared him away.

How is she going to entertain herself now...?

How could she be so stupid to scare away such a great source of entertainment?

She wanted to hit herself…

She then sighed in defeat and started looking around, trying to find something interesting, however, her mind was still stuck on that young man.

She regretted her decision...

"Haahhh…" In the end, she couldn't take it anymore and stood up. She then left the restaurant and walked toward the royal palace with a dejected look on her face.

"I really shouldn't have scared him away…" She muttered out loud.

As soon as Allura walked close to the Royal Palace, her two protectors appeared behind her and one of them sneered.

"Heh. He acted like he was some sort of big shot but he didn't even think a minute before he ran away with his tails between his legs"

That man really got on his nerves and he was really pleased when he saw him running away in fear. _{ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​}

"Indeed. What a gutless man." other protector sneered as well.

"Heh, you two act like you are any better? Won't you run away with your tails between your legs if your opponent was the king of a country? Heck, you might run away even if you face a duke, let alone the King. Isn't that right? Huh? C'mon, tell me." Allura scoffed.

She was bored, therefore, she tried to tease her subordinates.

This might be fun.

However, her subordinates were familiar with her antics.

They knew the more they tried to defend themselves, the more she will tease them.

Therefore, they remained silent.

"Hmph!" Allura understood their thoughts and snorted.

Maybe she was destined to be bored today...

She sighed. "Hmm? Lady Allura? You are back?" While Allura was sighing to herself, she suddenly heard a voice. She turned around to look who it was and answered.

"Yes, Edda, I am back."

"Oh? That is faster than usual…" Edda muttered.

"Indeed…" Allura sighed.

"Why do you look so dejected, did you not find anything?" Edda questioned with a curious look on her face.

She knew Nux and Allura would have met today, as far as she knew Nux and his way of doing things, Allura should be all smiles right now.

However, she looks completely different from what she expected.

"That's not it… I did find someone interesting… however, I ruined it due to my own stupidity…"

Allura muttered and sighed again.

"What happened?" Edda questioned.

"Haahh… leave it… I don't want to recall it," Allura sighed again and didn't answer.

The more she acted this way, the more curious Edda got, however, she didn't question anymore. She would know it once she meets Nux.

It's no big deal.

Just as Edda was about to leave, Allura questioned.

"What about you, Edda? Where are you going?"

"Just some business talks, nothing much" Edda lied.

"Hehe~ You think you can lie to me? Business talks don't happen every day right?" Allura smiled.

"Haah… I can't hide anything from you… can I, Lady Allura?" Edda sighed in defeat.

Since Allura was bored, she loves to hear about all the gossip flying around the palace and since the head maid leaving the palace every night to meet someone was a gossip the servants talk about a lot, Allura knew about it as well.

"Hehe~ So our beautiful Head Maid finally found someone huh?" Allura muttered.

A tinge of red appeared on Edda's face as she nodded.

A big smile appeared on Allura's face.

This was interesting...

She finally found a new target.

She could use this to relieve her boredom.

"So? Who is it? What is his name? Is he handsome? How tall is he? What is his cultivation level?" Allura shot a series of questions however, Edda just remained silent and looked at Allura with a straight face.

"Lady Allura, I won't tell you anything."

"Whhhyyyy?" Allura questioned. She looked like a poor woman who was betrayed by the love of her life.

"Lady Allura, everyone in the palace knows about you. You will keep on teasing me if I tell you anything. Also…"

"Also what?"

A small smile appeared on Edda's face as she replied,

"I have an inkling that you will know about him soon enough"
