Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2979

Andrew chuckled. At times like this, as long as he was shameless enough, he was invincible.

He said, "Nyx, it's true that we haven't known each other long. The first time we met was in Holtrien. I still remember how arrogant you were back then, and how incredibly powerful you were too. Seeing me in such a pathetic state, not only did you not sympathize with me, you actually lectured me."

Nyx let out a soft hum, seeming somewhat proud. "It's good to know you're self-aware! By the way, you really were pretty weak back then. Mr. Lloyd Senior and I went back home to rescue you. On his end, he was surrounded by so many powerful fighters from Holtrien. I originally wanted to help him, but he actually ordered me to go save you instead and not worry about him."

She continued, "From that moment on, I really found you annoying. I often couldn't understand why you mattered so much. I just wanted Mr. Lloyd Senior to be safe. As for you, I didn't want to bother with you at all back then."

Andrew smiled. "I understand, I get it completely. After all, you didn't know me well at that time. But what about now, Nyx? Do you still think I'm useless and not worth it?"

Nyx opened her mouth, wanting to say she still thought so. However, under Andrew's gaze, her face flushed, and she turned away.

"You're impressive now, and you really made others see you differently. I'll admit that. Compared to your freakish martial arts talent, what impresses me more is your mind. Since you started leading our Dragonfang, everything you've done has been beyond what I could have imagined.

Andrew could not help but wince internally. Nyx was really straightforward and innocent in her thinking. Then again, she was a fallen royal princess who had also suffered inhumane persecution. Besides being guarded, her heart was naturally just a blank slate.

Andrew turned her delicate body to face him and said seriously, "Nyx, I like you and want to protect you! I know you're angry. I shouldn't have forced myself on you. But I also know you don't hate me. Actually, deep down, you don't dislike what I did to you, do you?"

Nyx grew indignant. "You think you're so perfect that I'll willingly submit to you? So from now on, should I just spread my legs and let you in?"
