"So? What is it? What's holding you back?"
Nux whispered into Lyriana's ears in a voice so sensual that she felt strange a jolt of pleasure running all over her body.
After a long long while, she felt… weak.
And what's worse was that… her body didn't hate this weakness.
Yes, she, Lyriana Frostwillow, who left her everything, her family, her Kingdom, her World, and even her lovely daughter, to pursue strength, didn't hate it when her body felt weak…
It was strange.
It was inexplicable.
Nux's embrace felt… a little too comfortable.
'I-Is this what those women feel…?'
Lyriana wondered in her head, as she automatically closed her eyes. The comfort she felt was too strong for her to resist.
'No wonder they lose their minds when he is not around…
They are all a bunch of addicts.'
The Former Queen finally realized.
Nux was the drug those women craved, a drug every woman should avoid, no matter how enticing it felt.
He may be the most handsome man they ever laid their eyes upon, he may be the most caring being one could find, he may be the one who would make you feel that you can finally let go of everything you have been hiding all this while,
But… freewebnovel.cσ๓
One should not, at any cost, get close to him.
Everything he provides, everything he gives, comes with a great cost,
An Eternity of Dependence.
He would make you a slave to this comforting, loving addiction and you will lose yourselves.
Just like…
How she was currently losing herself…
"!!!"
The moment Lyriana realized it, her eyes sprung open. She tried to move away, yet her weak body couldn't do anything. The only thing that moved was the water she spilled because of her sudden movement.
Then, she heard that eerie, weakening voice again,
"You didn't answer my question, Lyriana."
Every time this man whispered into her ears, Lyriana felt like his voice was directly entering her brain and taking over it. It felt… scary.
Especially when Lyriana realized that she was unable to form an answer to his question.
What held her back?
Nothing.
No answer came to her mind, nothing was holding her back from falling into this cycle of addiction,
Her heart… it willingly wanted her to fall for this trap.
Something that the last bit of her sanity denied with every core of its being, very quickly, her mind came up with a viable excuse.
"I… I had a husband."
At least it sounded more viable in her head, but…
The Elven Queen thought it would continue to be that way, but then,
A man appeared.
He was just a child at first, not even a hundred years old, but the child grew much faster than she, or any of the people around her expected.
One day, this child appeared in front of her and tricked her into becoming his slave, he took over her Kingdom and faced the Dragon Lord.
It wasn't surprising, in the struggle for power, taking over other forces and facing enemies was common but…
Soon, Lyriana realized it.
The reason this man did what he did.
It wasn't some struggle for power. Yes, the man wanted to get stronger, but he didn't care about Wars, territory or things like that, the only people he cared about were his wives and the only reason he waged war was because his wife was hurt.
An absurd reason.
Who in his right mind would wage a losing war just because his wife was hurt a little?
He did.
It was strange.
Something Lyriana didn't understand.
Wasn't being husband and wife done just out of convenience? Also, didn't this man already have more than one wife? Why wage a war and put others in danger just because one was hurt?
Not to mention the one who was hurt had already recovered, it made no sense no matter how she thought about it.
The Elven Queen was so confused that in the end, she decided to directly ask the man himself and the answer she got was something she couldn't forget,
"I love her."
