Rise of the Lustful Evil Monarch (Re)

Chapter 84 Pouring Emotions

Nyx's POV

A flash of panic crossed her face as she realized her appearance had changed, and the crowd's reactions varied.

Seeing this, I wanted to see her nature and temperance as she stood in this situation clearly very uncomfortable from the stares.

I raised my aura slightly, and her whole attention shifted to me as she completely ignored the surrounding people. Sharp claws extended from her nails, and her ice blue pupils narrowed into slits.

But I broke my aura hold and beckoned her with a calm and assuring voice. "No need to be worried. I won't hurt you."

She hesitated but, with a push from Altheria, eventually came before me. I could see her trembling body and agitated emotions. When she arrived near me, I sound transmitted her some words.

I know and understand your beastly bloodline better than everyone here and I can teach you to become stronger so you may never have to suffer like this again in your life.

I placed my hand on her head again, and she flinched but didn't jump away as before. The feline girl seemed shocked by my words but quickly fell into thought, her conflicting emotions clearly visible on her face

Seeing her indecision, I decided to give her a little push.

See those people you call friends and fellow victims. Some of them now see you with fear, and some even have disgust written all over their faces. You are unique, and they will envy and fear you.

Without my help, you won't be able to grow stronger. Your bloodline is very unique, and I alone know its secret and the method to grow stronger.

She turned and looked at the girls, noting their various expressions of fear, disgust, envy, and more. She continued staring for a few minutes and I gave her the space to process her feelings. When she finally turned back to me, I continued.

As you grow stronger, I can even help you find your family and brethren.

Her eyes widened, and I saw the excitement flicker in her gaze that overcame her earlier faltering emotions which had been influenced by my earlier incentives and promises.

They are not dead, that is for sure, I transmitted firmly. I can guarantee that my dragon kind's words are not spoken lightly.

She nodded excitedly and stood beside me like an obedient pup. I allowed myself a small smile and messaged Altheria through sound transmission.

I will be taking her with me, Altheria. You can carry on with the other girls. Remember, they can be of great assistance if they are trained and taught properly. They are no longer greenhouses as they have seen the cruel realities of the world so early in their lives.

You and I both know what that means for an expert in the real, tough, and cruel world. I knew she understood all of this even more than I did but I still gave her my opinion anyway.

Finally, I nodded at the girl and traversed the void with the little cat girl. I walked into the void toward the surface, and no one was able to see or detect our silhouettes due to my Veil of Invisibility ability.

I had made this a habit, and it had saved me from countless hassles and needless interruptions from enemies and bothersome people alike.

We traversed the underground cave to reach the surface. On the way, I didn't obstruct any of her senses allowing her to see the path we were traveling. This was my intentional tactic that included showing glimpses of some of my power to subtly establish my dominance and earn her submission.

This way, she wouldn't have any second thoughts, ensuring proper obedience from the start.

She had a shocked expression throughout the journey and continued to stare at my back with a lot of mixed emotions in her eyes. Soon, we arrived at the mountain peak as we stepped out of the cave mouth.

The pleasant air of the morning and the dew hanging in the atmosphere greeted us.

The sound of birds chirping and the slight chill in the air that brushed against my face lifted my mood after the stifling underground environment.

It's totally out of my mind how those vampires can even live in that underground world for perpetuity, I mused and shook my head as the thought crossed my mind. Still, I understood they were built differently and we were not the same.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of sniffing and turned to see the cat girl. Her appearance had reverted to her previous state, with the twin scars on her face and dull gray hair. Her fluffy white cat ears had vanished as if they'd never existed and were a mere illusion.

Her pale blue eyes had turned dull and dark. Seeing this I was totally amazed.

Normal beastmen couldn't hide their beastly features, yet despite her lack of power she could achieve what even the strongest members of the beastmen could not.

Well it is similar to the information in the sealed memories. Her clan is indeed special.

I pushed the thought aside as I noticed the cat girl trying to hold back tears while gazing at the rising sun on the horizon.

The beautiful view of the forest from this height seemed to have mesmerized her. Orange clouds drifted across the backdrop of a blue sky and their brilliance was mirrored in her eyes.

I sighed, feeling a pang of sympathy for her. Such a small child who was held captive for so long in the underground had likely not seen the sun for years. This scenery seemed to have entranced her completely.

I patted her head and spoke softly. "You can cry, little one. You are finally free of that torture."

My words seemed to break some sort of dam within her. She clung tightly to my hand, bawling her eyes out and crying loudly.

I let her pour out all her tears—tears of negative emotions, relief, and happiness at finally being free.
