BXBX NOVEL Chapter 334: Leaving Again
"Although this makes me physically sick, I have to tell you about one thing. Whatever you need to do, do it! Just make sure Flora doesn’t get too close to Nathan."
Sera raised her eyebrows. "Whatever I need to do? You mean anything?"
Selena pinched the bridge of her nose. She couldn’t help but to recount what Nathan told her back then.
She once asked Nathan, "So, are you going to get closer to Noelle and Flora? On top of that, Alavenya?"
Nathan was taken aback by the question. Looking at Selena’s serious expression made him consider his response. Instead of pushing it away or joking about it, he decided to respond with his sincere thought.
"Well, I can’t say they’re not beautiful. I don’t know what kind of thought you have, but Flora is a no-no for me."
"Do you hate her because she is manipulative?" She frowned.
"Nope. It’s just that her status is too special. I don’t really want to have anything to do with the royal family. And I don’t think I need to tell you the reason…"
"Throne, huh?" She looked down, falling into deep thought.
When Sera heard all this, she tilted her head in confusion. "Then you shouldn’t be too worried about it. After all, Nathan is still a commoner and it won’t go that way.
"In addition, Flora will definitely marry someone with a much better status, like another prince, for political reasons. The fact that she isn’t that close to anyone means I’m correct."
Selena shook her head. "Now. Let’s think about this."
She pointed at herself. "Sage."
Her finger then turned to Sera. "Pope."
She then pointed elsewhere while saying, "Dragon King."
Sera opened her mouth in surprise, as if she finally understood what Selena was trying to say. "Don’t tell me…"
"Yep. Who is the one that gathers all of us together?"
"Nathan." Sera’s expression turned solemn. "Even if we don’t count Alavenya, he is still the center of the connection of all those powerful figures. Marrying him means they will be able to access those connections. In addition, Nathan is special and strong. He is also smart enough to overwhelm others. There is no way the royal family won’t like such a connection. Even if they don’t do anything, other princes or even princesses might use themselves as collateral in order to get his connections."
"Now, you understand my worries, right?"
Sera nodded furiously. "But what if Flora ends up losing her status as a royalty? Won’t that solve the situation?"
Selena widened her eyes in shock. She pinched the bridge of her nose and asked, "Has Nathan ever told you to not ask or say something along the lines? Ehm… What’s the term again? Jinx it?"
Sera fell silent for a moment before opening her mouth in surprise as she grasped what she meant. Sera covered her mouth with both hands as if she had realized she just screwed it up.
…
Meanwhile, Nathan was coming to Vivian’s office, reporting all the situations, including the mission.
"I see. Do whatever you need to do regarding the terrorist organization. I won’t really intervene unless I think you’ve gone too far or you ask for my help." Vivian nodded.
"Thank you."
Vivian nodded. "How about the mission? The Blacksmith Guild, was it? Mr. Thompson, who has a high-ranking elder dwarf as his familiar."
"Yep. I’ll be going there. I don’t think I need a weapon, but I will go there to see if I really need a weapon or not. After all, having an expert opinion will surely be useful."
"Got it. Do whatever you need to do. However, I heard this mission is a bit dangerous. It’s not the matter of the mature class aliens." Vivian looked down, falling into deep thought. "How do I say it? The God of Earth is angry."
"The God of Earth?" Nathan tilted his head in confusion. "Gaia?"
"Gaia?" Vivian had never heard about this.
"Ah, I’m sorry. Fenrir once mentioned the Goddess of Earth, Gaia."
"Well, I don’t think we’re talking about the same person. Nevertheless, the earth has been shaking for quite a while over there. We don’t really feel much here because of the distance, but you have to be careful. It’s not stable in that place."
"Understood." Nathan nodded.
"If there is anything you need to know or if it’s something related to my research, just don’t hesitate to send me a letter. I will use my knowledge if it’s necessary."
"Yes. I know your research, so I know if it’s related or not. Thank you, Teacher. I will accept the mission."
Vivian nodded.
Nathan politely bowed his head and headed out. After getting Vivian’s approval, he told Flora that he would go with Sera. Although it was a shame that Selena couldn’t go, he spent most of the time with her in the next seven days.
He also gave his blood to Risa, which made her even stronger. It would take a few months to a year or two to become a vampire royal, but all of them were looking forward to it.
…
Even though he just returned a few days ago, he ended up taking another big mission.
"Muaahh." Risa lifted her head and gradually pulled back from Nathan’s neck. "I’m done. Thank you very much."
"Haha. No need to thank me. Support Selena while I’m not here, will you?" Nathan playfully winked.
"Of course!" Risa chuckled.
Selena walked to him while bringing his bag. "Everything you need is in this bag. Make sure you finish it as quickly as possible and go back. I will definitely finish all my work in the next few days."

"Thank you." Nathan nodded. He put his hand into his pocket as if he were trying to find something. "Ah. That’s right. Take this…"
Selena tilted her head, wondering what he wanted to give.
All of a sudden, he pulled out his hand while crossing his thumb and forefinger together, creating a heart sign.
"What?" Selena didn’t understand what he was doing.
Nathan chuckled as he explained it. "Heart. This is a heart sign. Love you. Understand?"
Selena smiled helplessly, not knowing what to do with this guy. Whenever he did something foolish but wholesome like this, her expressionless face just melted. She couldn’t help but give a little peck on his lips. "I prefer this."
"Well… That also works." Nathan waved his hand. "I’ll return quickly. Take care."
Nathan didn’t realize at that time this mission would lead to a much bigger problem than anyone had expected.
