"I know, you will be playing your part soon, I promise, I need to set up the stage first."

"What...?"

Riona didn't understand a word.

"Don't worry mother-in-law, trust me. I am quite good at it."

"At what...?"

"You ask too many questions."

"That's because you talk in riddles!"

Riona retorted.

"I do that because it is fun."

"Are you making fun of me?" Riona narrowed her eyes.

"It's not my fault that mother-in-law is so cute." Nux chuckled.

Riona stared at Nux for a while. "You are shameless." She commented.

"It is already a well-known fact." Nux nodded.

Riona just shook her head.

"Anyways, let's stop talking about this, mother-in-law. Tell me, how were these last 150 years you spent here? What did you do for such a long time? Something particularly interesting you want to talk about?"

"You think I was in a condition to enjoy my time? You people left everything to me, then everything started falling apart, I was busy trying to keep the Clan intact."

"Whaaat? So you didn't do anything interesting? Like falling in love with someone or something? There are already people chasing after you, wasn't there someone you were actually interested in?"

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about?

Why would I be falling in love with someone? I have already passed that age, not to mention I already have a daughter, who also has a husband. Thinking about it, I am quite old already."

"You don't look old at all, mother-in-law.

Actually, you look quite beautiful, so beautiful that sometimes I get mesmerized by you."
