Compared to Nyxara's charm, the Guardian of Scarlet Bond's charm already erased his consciousness.
Myles' lust also clouded his mind and it was all directed at the Guardian of Scarlet Bond. The latter however was now controlling Myles, so he would not become uncontrolled because of his lust.
The Guardian of Scarlet Bond said, "Tell me, what are you to my dear little mistress?"
She didn't even bother lowering her voice, causing the Lady of Chains and Whispered Vows and Nxyara to hear it.
Nyxara felt something was wrong, so she immediately pushed her mother and glanced at Myles.
As expected, Myles' eyes lost their luster. They never blinked as they kept staring at her auntie.
Myles' mouth opened and he was about to say something when Nyxara shouted at the Guardian of Scarlet Bond.
"Auntie!! That's my knight! You can't just charm him without my permission!"
The Guardian of Scarlet Bond was surprised. She instantly turned her head towards her nephew, causing Myles to regain his consciousness.
Myles was utterly surprised by what had just happened. So, that was the real charm? I couldn't resist at all!
He huffed for breath, his chest heaved up and down, as he heard the Guardian of Scarlet Bond spoke.
"My dear little mistress, I'm very sorry, I was just curious about your knight. He also started it. I thought he was challenging my charm, provoking me to use it on him."
Nyxara stared at her auntie and tried to regain her composure by closing her eyes and took a deep breath.
After exhaling and opening her eyes, she said with a stern expression, "I apologized for not informing my knight about it, Auntie. I'll educate him."
The Guardian of Scarlet Bond was pleased. She nodded and said, "Indeed, educate him. He'd been staring at me ever since he saw me, making me think like he can handle my charm."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows said, "Alright, enough." She turned to Myles, who immediately lowered his head, and said, "And you, my daughter's knight, should not think highly of yourself. Don't you know that when you see a demon noble, you should always show respect at all?
Keep your head low, tone low, ego low, everything should be kept low. Just because my daughter is lenient with you doesn't mean every noble will do the same."
Myles kneeled in one knee and said in an apologetic tone, "I'm very sorry, Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows. I will keep your words in mind."
"Mhm." The Lady of Chains and Whispered Vows nodded and turned towards her daughter with a stern countenance.
"And you, don't spoil your knight. Lesser demons once spoiled by a demon noble will become complacent."
Nyxara lowered her head and nodded.
"I'm sorry, Mother. I'll keep that in mind."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows smiled and said in a gentle tone, "I'm just reminding you, my daughter. The Royal Academy is more harsh than you think. I'm not worried anyway, since if you can't handle life there, you will be expelled and forced to return here."
Nyxara was surprised. She tilted her head upward and stared at her mother.
She smiled. "No wonder, you didn't hold me back at all, knowing how dangerous the Royal Academy is."
"Oh? I think you don't have to worry about your daughter, cousin."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows was intrigued.
She asked, "Why?"
The Guardian of Scarlet Bond was surprised at her response.
She said, "You didn't notice the demonic energy level of your daughter at all? Sense it again."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows was astonished as she pulled herself away a bit from her daughter and stared at her daughter.
Her eyes widened.
"Since when did you reach the Rank 2 Greater Demon rank?"
Nyxara was surprised. Then, she was confused as she tilted her head sideways and asked, "Did you just notice it now, Mother? Ah, I forgot. Well, it's one of the reasons why I wanted to enter the Royal Academy, too."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows was in disbelief. "How could I neglect this greatest achievement of yours, my dear daughter? I am deeply sorry, I have not really noticed it."
Nyxara smiled and hugged her mother. "It's fine, Mother."
The Guardian of the Scarlet Bond, on the other hand, was speechless.
She said, "I really thought you noticed it. That's why I kept asking you if Nyxara received another word demon name."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows finally recalled their conversation earlier and turned towards her daughter.
She asked, "Did you awaken another true word, demon name, daughter?"
Nyxara's eyes widened.
She asked, "Have I really not informed you, Mother? Like I said, I just came across an object on the Black Veins. When I received it from Myles, a concentrated demonic energy suddenly entered in my body, causing my demonic core to mutate. Since Myles was near me, she evolved as well and became a hybrid.
I don't know why it's incubus instead of succubus."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows, the Guardian of Scarlet Bond, and Myles were astounded.
They did not expect Nyxara to encounter an object that changed her fate.
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows and Guardian of Scarlet Bond were soon disappointed.
The Guardian of Scarlet Bond mumbled, "But, it's not a demon name. How unfortunate."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows glared at her.
She turned towards her daughter and said, "Don't listen to what she said, my dear daughter. At the very least, you reached a rank where you have more advantage than other demon nobles.
As long as you are careful and use your mind efficiently, you'll be able to graduate and perhaps, you'll replace me."
Nyxara giggled. "You're exaggerating, my mother. I haven't graduated yet."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows giggled, as well.
The Guardian of Scarlet Bond watched the mother and daughter and sighed.
She said, "My dear cousin, it's really unfortunate you did not teach her our demonic martial arts."
The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows smirked. "You can still teach her, right?"
The Guardian of Scarlet Bond shrugged and turned towards her nephew, saying, "It's not me who proposed for your journey to not be peaceful, my dear little mistress, alright?"
