Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 175: Feelings

'Did the past change? Did Dark Nix mayhap sought for help to Rosalie?'

He thought to himself while looking at Rosalie with a worried expression.

"Hmm...Fine." She replied.

"So, we are in terms now I guess. No seduction and forcing alright?"

"Ahh! No, I need your blood to satiate my hunger though once in a while. I couldn't come up to drink any of your clan members since they might die. And your blood has some effects on me as well. You have regeneration so, it's all good."

"So, Am your infinite food pack now huh?"

"Uhh...It's not like that. I don't want to kill your members since we are allies."

"Alright fine, I hope I'll get I can inherit more of your kin's potential."

"For that, you'll need to come into our kingdom and go through some trials to obtain true blood."

"Can we go there after the war?"

"Hehe, Okay!"

She giggled closing her mouth with her hands to hide her laughter.

"Okay, I am going to meet up with my Manager to enquire what has happened when I was not here."

"Ahh! I heard a Devil came in search of you to deliver some message. I was not here when it happened. It seems Felishia fended of the devil to the underworld."

"Ohh? Thanks for the information. I'll enquire about it then."

He said approaching his room's exit.

He walked through the alley and knocked on Felishia's door.

"Ohh? You've arrived huh?"

Rebecca asked in a loud voice who seemed to have passing by.

"Yeah just an hour ago."

"Ohh? You are certainly giving off a different aura. Not that I can point out what it is. But, you seem to have changed..."

She abruptly threw a punch towards his face which he swiftly dodged.

"Why did you suddenly do it?"

He asked coldly.

"Haha, Nothing just wanted to test you..."

She laughed it off but abruptly Nix took a foot forwards and tried to grab her. And she reacted to him by using her hands to tackle him.

A smile appeared on his face as he blocked her hands that swiftly came towards his eyes and throat at ease. He grabbed both her hands with his right arm and had them interlocked while using his other hand to grab her neck.

Before she could use her legs he placed his leg between her legs and tackled her leg making her fall towards the alley's wall. His grip was firm enough to minimize the damage she received.

"How is that?"

He asked her with a smirk.

"Tch, You cheated. You have the power to see the moves I was about to make."

She said clicking her tongue in a rude tone.

Nix was quite surprised since she had precisely pinpointed his ability's concept.

Well, she was a knight so it was not a big surprise for her to decode. Perhaps, she already knew this was his ability when she witnessed his battles.

Thud!

"What's up with the big commotion here?"

Felishia said after slam opening the door.

"We were just testing my upgrades."

"Ohh? You've upgraded huh? If it was a sword fight I would've ate you!"

Rebecca said rolling her sleeves ready to get on a fight.

"Yeah sure, you would."

Nix said with a smirk. He couldn't help but smile since how Ironic it was for her to not accept her defeat.

'This guy... How did he get strong with just four days of training?'

She muttered to herself while looking at him with envy.

"Haha, Are you jealous that he had gotten stronger than you?"

Rosalie said sliding out of his shadow like a ghost.

Nix knew that she would be able to read minds so he turned towards Rebecca and smiled.

"What?? You bat bitch. Dare to say such a thing! I am the captain of Ranrak Knights! Why would I feel jealous about someone who had just been into this world for over a year?"

She said fuming in anger.

"Fufu however you deny it. You are jealous of my darling!"

She teased her.

'Darling?'

She furrowed her brows and drifted towards Nix with a slightly worried expression. Yet, she couldn't come up to ask any question to him and just nodded her head.

"I see... I have to train now."

She said and turned back.

"Okay." Nix nodded and turned towards Felishia.

He noticed Rosalie walking by the side of Rebecca. He just thought they had something to talk about and did not pay heed to them.

"Stop Miss Rebecca. I can see the disappointment in your face."

Rosalie said walking by her side.

'That bastard! He said he will protect me and spouted nonsense. In the end, all he is doing is collecting women to fuck. All men are wretched!'

Rebbeca mumbled with her down.

"Disappointment? Why would I be disappointed?"

She asked indifferently yet her eyes were slightly welled up with tears and her face was red. 

"Fufu, I think you misunderstood. It was just me calling him like that. He had clearly drawn a line between us."

Rosalie said giggling.

"Why are you saying that to me?"

She said in a startle and looked at her with suspicion.

"I mean you seem to feel bad about him having women around him."

"Do you perhaps have the ability to read minds?"

She asked coldly.

"Yes..."

"Then can you not reveal what I thought in my mind and stop reading it?"

Rebecca requested.

"I understand and apologize."

"Thank you," Rebecca replied.

"Anyway, if you don't try to compete I will gladly have him for myself."

Rosalie said and left her side with a smile.

It was certainly not her style to fight for a man nor women like to do such stuff. If anything else. People wouldn't want to share their partner. For now, Nix was just dating Cinzia and Camila. In potential Felishia too. But, marriage is another sort of thing. Rosalie saw Nix as a potential partner and a tool for her race to once again rise.

In the case of Rebecca, she liked Nix for him being him and sticking to his own rules and morals. Her lack of romance was a huge barrier in her case but, she found it indignity for a maiden to compete for a man. Well, in the first place it was a male's job to attract.

If one were to think from the animalistic point of view. Only male peacocks have colorful feathers with which they attract the female. In essence, it is the same with every other species rather they change in terms.

Women like high-value men in such a case Nix was a high-value man but the man case in humans is that women expect the first move from the man as such it was the same thing that Rebecca thought. If Nix likes her he would do it.

'Why would I compete for that guy?'

She thought to herself.

First of all, Rebecca still didn't accept that she had feelings for him. She was attracted to him yet, couldn't come to terms nor outright comply with the fact that she was indeed in love.  She was just glad that they were on good terms.

"A devil called Mammongan..."

Nix reuttered the name Felishia mentioned.

"It seems he was sent by the corrupted gods. He said he had a divine message to convey."

"Did you perhaps heard what he wanted to covey?" Nix asked with interest.

"No it can only be seen by the person it was meant to be conveyed. A divine message is something like a gift of God which will be a weapon that contains the written will of the gods. It is more like a cursed weapon that will enslave one's soul to the gods after acceptance of the gift. If you don't accept you'll suffer severe consequences. It is like a trap. Since you did not know about such thing I had no choice but to force the devil back to the underworld."

Felishia explained.

"So, you are saying it is better off fending the Devil? I guess it's fine then."

"Hmm, good you certainly have the ability to grasp what my intention was."

"Anyway thanks for protecting the clan house and members."

"Hah, it's fine..."

She sighed and looked at Rosalie who was approaching from a distance.

"May I know how you made her your ally. I find it troubling since I cannot even notice her presence myself and she seems to be a powerful one too. Possibly a Nobel vampire at that. I wonder what she is plotting and he didn't try to control our members."

Felishia said with worry.

"It's fine for you to be worried. But, We are on good terms. I've even gained some powers from her. I do know I cannot blindly trust people. Though my resources are kinda on point so, I am sure there is no need to worry."

He assured.

He was believed in Nova manifestation, which clearly hinted to him to have firm control over Rosalie. Nix may not be powerful but, Rosalie did not underestimate him nor found the reason to fight him. Which was rather easy to maintain a friendly relationship with her instead of how Nova manifestation said to control her in their first meeting.

"Greetings, Madame Felishia! I was in talks with Miss Rebecca so I forgot to greet you."

She greeted once again.

"It is fine and greetings, Madame Rosalie!"

Both the women greeted each other. This was Nix's first time to witness Rosalie behave in a classy manner. He was kind of able to see her attitude was indeed different when she behaves with others. She was slightly similar to Cinzia in terms of character in Nix's point of view.

Cinzia behaved differently and upright with her members and differently with him. So, he thought she was similar to her.
