บท 1449: Why is this happening…?

"I shouldn't have said those words. How can I not realize that I was raising a flag? How could I make such a rookie mistake? Did living for thousands of years blur my memories of all the novels I read in the past?" 

"…what in the hell are you talking about?" 

Aeliana, who couldn't understand a word Nux said questioned with a deadpan look on her face. 

"…" 

Nux didn't answer. 

He might be trying to joke around and keep a clear mind, in truth, his mental state wasn't the best. He was worried, paranoid, unsure, and… scared. 

Aeliana, who could read his emotions stayed silent, then, she focused on the chess board in front of her and made her move. 

"What do you think is the most important quality of the King?" 

She questioned, looking at Nux. 

Nux glanced at the Vampire. He had come here to divert his mind and somehow find a solution, however, he didn't think that his 'dear' master would make him play this game again.
