Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 748 - Secrets Getting Revealed One After Another

The next moment she took out a grand broadsword before waving it towards Arthur, "Release her… Now!"

"Hold on," Arthur raised his two hands in the air, "she was scheming against you by the orders of her mother."

​​

"What?!!!" this time her shock seemed a bit excessive as she turned to glance at the imprisoned Nicole.

As Gege wanted to keep her under check for the longest period of time, Nicole now was surrounded by hundreds of those pillars in overlapping circles.

Aemie moved slowly towards her while Nicole gave up all the resistance she was having the moment she saw her master coming into this world.

The two of them carried shocked expressions over their faces, something that told Arthur there was more about the two than he initially thought.

"Is… that true?" Aemie asked in a low tone that showed how much shocked and depressed at the moment.

Nicole seemed anything but calm at this moment.

"Speak!" Aemie wasn't herself anymore as she shouted in extreme anxiety and strange anger.

"She is a tool in her mother's hand," Arthur had to step in, "however I stepped in to free her from that burden. Yet I didn't get a thanks."

"I'll deal with you later," Aemie gritted her teeth while giving Arthur a back off warning glance.

"May I ask… What is this all about?"

"None of your damn business!"

The shout and sharp response from Aemie made Arthur sure of his hunch.

"Let her free," she added, "I'll deal with her myself."

"And let you kill her?" Arthur moved slowly to stand between the two girls, "I didn't stick my neck just for you to kill her."

"I don't care," Aemie turned strangely aggressive, "this is your last warning."

"No, you listen to me very well," Arthur's face changed to show his determination, "this is my world and I have the final word here! If you don't like it, then I can just eject you outside and let you face your own fans on your own."

Aemie seemed badly wanting to say something but she also showed remarkable self control at this moment. "Don't tempt me boy to destroy this pathetic weak little pocket of yours that you call the world!"

Arthur didn't move a muscle and neither did she. It seemed things were escalating fast towards a direct confrontation. It was something Arthur didn't want yet he wasn't afraid of.

He already had plans to deal with this lunatic called Aemie using the help of Gege.

"Stop you two…" all of sudden the shocked and terribly terrified Nicole shouted to stop the two from any further action. "It's all because of me… I… I'm sorry Aemie, but if you want anyone dead then take my life."

Arthur saw for a brief moment a soft look over Aemie's face, something he never expected such a tyrant to have.

"I will deal with you in my own way," Aemei slowly said, "let her go and I'll take her responsibility from here."

"Let me out," Nicole also shouted but Arthur didn't move.

"I said… let her go!" Aemie drew closer from Arthur that he even could feel her burning breaths over his face.

"I said she is a victim to her mother," Arthur didn't succumb to her orders, "if you wanna to kill someone so desperately, then why not go ahead and kill your dear aunt?"

The corners of Aemie's eyes twitched while her face clenched and relaxed more than once.

"She can't do it," yet the answer came from the imprisoned Nicole behind, "she is bound not to directly harm her, like my dear mother had the same obligation."

"Oh," Arthur finally understood part of the puzzle, "so she used you instead to do that, right?" he asked without turning his back to Aemie.

"You are an outsider," Aemie's ruthless voice came as if she didn't care about what Nicole said, "release her or face the consequences."

"If you don't change your attitude, I promise you are gonna regret this," Arthur didn't meet her threat with any weakness. Instead he took another step forward and the two of them had their faces just breaths away from each other.

"I don't know anything about the traitors," Nicole shouted in distress, "locking me here won't do you any good. Let me go."

"And let her kill you?" Arthur shouted back.

"Do you have a thing for her perhaps?" Aemie's tone came as usual, cold and sharp.

"I was beginning to think there was a thing between the two of you already," Arthur replied back, "what is it? Love?"

"None of your damn business!" The shout and anger Aemie showed now made Arthur sure about his earlier hunch.

"I don't have anything against two beauties playing with each other," Arthur said with a grin on his face.

"Then let her go!" Aemie kept repeating her order without feeling tired at all.

"I can't throw away our only ticket to unveil all the traitors simply like this!"

"Who said anything about throwing her?" Aemie said before adding, "I'll interrogate her myself. After I take her you are free to go."

"Free to go, huh!" Arthur couldn't help but laugh while Aemie's eyes were already burning him in her mind. "I want to go back!"

"Where?" Aemie seems unfazed with his words despite having a terrible hunch about it.

"To the world I came from in the first place."

Aemie seemed a bit hesitant.

"She can't use such power," yet the answer came from Nicole and not her.

"Shut up!" Aemie's voice thundered in rage when Nicole spoke.

"Oh, I didn't know that," Arthur's eyes changed slightly before he received a weird intel from his golden dragon. "Are you perhaps… poisoned?"

This time the shock over Aemei's face outweighed her anger or rude manners for a long minute. She kept staring at Arthur before finally saying, "how did you know such a thing?"

"So it's true," Arthur couldn't help but retreat back while holding his head with both hands. "The head of the clan is this close to death at such a time… Just brilliant timing."

"What?!!" Nicole exclaimed in doubt and surprise.

"Oh, you didn't know?" Arthur moved his eyes between the two girls, "you lied on her?"

Aemie's tough appearance finally broke at this point. Arthur could see her eyes turned red, yet not a single tear was formed at all.

"Tell me he is lying," it was the time for Nicole to scream and shout with all her might. Unlike the tough Aemie, she all collapsed on the ground while sinking deeply in her grief.

"I planned to tell you when the time is ripe," Aemie tried to defend herself however Nicole seemed not to listen to her.

"How bad is it?" Arthur suddenly asked.

"Bad? I dunno what the hell is that poison in the first place to assess the damage!"

"Oh," Arthur's eyes shone brightly as he heard the words his golden dragon was saying at the moment. "Then let me examine you."

And that made Aemie raise an eyebrow with a skeptical expression over her face.

"First you came as a mage, then you showed a weird ability to scout and locate my enemies. Next thing happened was that absurd immunity of yours, and lastly you are acting like you know healing stuff... Who exactly are you?"
