After their brief discussion, a Blood Knight knocked the library and entered.
He walked towards Nyxara after a while and kneeled in one knee in front of her.
He said, "Mistress, the Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows asks for your presence. She is in her office."
Nyxara nodded and said, "Mhm. I will go soon. Thank you for informing me."
"You're welcome, Mistress."
The Blood Knight did not hesitate anymore and left the library after bowing.
Nyxara turned towards Myles and said, "We might have to leave today."
Myles nodded.
…
Myles and Nyxara returned to the baroness officer. The Commander welcomed them outside the door, opening it gently.
Nyxara entered first and was about to greet her mother when she saw a familiar face sitting on a seat where she previously sat.
Nyxara was familiar with her. Her mother used to interact with her every time the succubus gathered in one place annually.
When the woman turned her head and glanced at her, her eyes lit up and said, "Little Mistress, nice to see you again, how have you been?"
Nyxara smiled and said, "Auntie, you are here."
Nyxara walked elegantly forward and bowed in front of her auntie.
Myles followed her and bowed as well, sneaking a glance at her. She was undoubtedly gorgeous, her bosom was massive, exposing her cleavage from her dress. She appeared modest and well-mannered, obvious from how she drank the tea.
There was a mole on the side of her left eye and like the Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows, she emitted a dangerous aura.
She didn't even bother glancing at Myles, focusing her eyes on Nyxara only.
She was amused. "You really have become a grown up, my dear little Mistress. You know the basic courtesy now."
Nyxara was embarrassed and said, "This is normal, Auntie. By the way, why are you here?"
Her Auntie was astonished. "You didn't know. I'm an instructor in the Royal Academy. Where do you think my title as Guardian of the Scarlet Bond came from?"
Nyxara was taken aback. She glanced at her mother, seeking for answers.
Her mother smiled. "I was just surprised, too. Don't listen to her, I just heard the news three days ago. She replaced the previous instructor, her mother. Since she's going to the Royal Academy and visited her, I asked her if she could take you along, too."
The Guardian of the Scarlet Bond giggled, took out a hand fan and waved it into her face.
She said, "You don't need to ask me, I will certainly bring my little Mistress, too. Also, I was really surprised that you gave her the recommendation letter you received since you graduated. To think you'll really end up giving it to her."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows rolled her eyes and said, "You really don't need to talk about it with my daughter around. Earlier, when we were alone, you were talking about nonsense things. You really don't know when to pick the best moments, don't you?"
"Oh, my dear cousin. Since when did you not learn?"
"Mhm. Let's not talk about it now." She turned towards her daughter and said, "My dear daughter, just because I ask my cousin to bring you along the way doesn't mean you will be babysit by her. If she inherits her mother's character, then be prepared if she suddenly tests you out of the blue while you are traveling.
Don't expect it to be a peaceful trip at all."
"Oh, stop that, my dear cousin. You're scaring my dear little Mistress from your words." She turned towards Nyxara and smiled brightly.
However, her bright smile seemed to be mingled with deceit.
Nyxara shuddered.
The Guardian of Scarlet Bond asked, "Isn't that right, my dear little Mistress?"
Nyxara smiled awkwardly. "I think your question scares me more than my mother's words."
The Guardian of Scarlet Bond was surprised. She blinked her eyes innocently and suddenly exploded into a hoot of laughter.
She shut the hand fan abruptly and wiped the tears coming off from her eyelids.
She said, "I didn't even mean to." She paused, composed herself, and stared at Nyxara with a smirk. "But, like what your mother said, I won't babysit you. However, I will also give you an idea about what to look for in Noctyriss city, which houses the Royal Academy."
Nyxara asked, "Your however made me expect about having a peaceful trip."
The Guardian of Scarlet Bond giggled and did not say anything.
Nyxara sighed. She suddenly thought of Myles, so she stepped aside, letting her aunt have a clear view of Myles.
She waved her arms, pointing at Myles, and said, "I will introduce you to my knight, Auntie. This is Myles."
The Guardian of Scarlet Bond was intrigued. She scrutinized Myles from head to toe.
She said, "What a fine hybrid."
Myles chuckled and bowed.
"It's an honor to receive praise from you, Guardian of Scarlet Bonds."
"Oh?" The Guardian of Scarlet Bonds chuckled. "At least, you know the basic etiquette. As for the praise you said, we will know about that soon."
She then turned towards the Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows and asked, "My dear cousin, there's something I would like to ask."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows rolled her eyes and said to Nyxara, "My dear daughter, you can leave now. Also, I will only give you an hour to prepare. Don't keep her waiting."
Nyxara nodded and said, "I understand, my dear mother."
"Awie. I would have liked the conversation more if she's present."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows said, "And I wouldn't like you to be displeased at my daughter if she keeps you waiting."
The Guardian of Scarlet Bond giggled. "You're just making an excuse, so she won't hear about what we're about to talk about."
Despite being curious about what the Guardian of Scarlet Bond meant, Nyxara didn't hesitate at all to leave with Myles and prepare for their departure to the Royal Academy.
