Chapter 428 Chapter 428 It's not your fault

"Get up, Nora! Please, get up!" Her mental plea echoed in the recesses of her consciousness, a silent prayer for the safety of her friend.

The scene unfolded before Tiffany like a nightmare, each second stretching into an agonizing eternity. Doubt and terror mingled within her, threatening to overwhelm reason. "What do I do? I can't just stand here!" The realization struck her with a force that cut through the immobilizing fear.

The black figure moved away from Nora motionless figure and moved close to Tiffany. The seconds hung heavy as Tiffany's eyes remained fixed on Nora's unmoving form "Nora, please! Wake up!" Her voice quivered with a mix of fear and anguish, the echoes of her own vulnerability bouncing off the remnants of the shattered carriage. Dread gnawed at her, and the silent question persisted: Was Nora still among the living, or had the shadows of death claimed her?

Before Tiffany could grapple with the uncertainty, the black figure, a harbinger of danger, closed the distance. Fear seized Tiffany in its icy grip, rendering her momentarily inert. "What do I do? I can't just stand here," she mentally implored herself, the urgency of the situation pushing her to overcome the paralyzing shock. The instinct to fight back faded into the background, overshadowed by the paralyzing presence of imminent danger.

As the ominous figure drew nearer, Tiffany's breaths quickened, the air around her thick with a palpable sense of impending doom. The figure's arm ascended with deliberate intent, and in a chilling display of dark magic, black mana condensed into the form of a massive blade on the palm of its hand.

Tiffany's breath caught in her throat, and the world around her blurred into a nightmarish haze. The fight-or-flight instinct struggled against the stifling tendrils of terror.

Tiffany's world narrowed to the ominous silhouette and the malevolent weapon it wielded. The air seemed to still as the massive blade hung menacingly, casting a shadow over her already tumultuous reality. Tiffany's mind, clouded by fear, struggled to formulate a coherent response.

The blade descended with ruthless speed, Tiffany, caught in a vortex of terror, could do little more than brace herself for the impending impact, her thoughts a chaotic swirl of desperation.

-----------------------

Almost ten minutes earlier, the incident happened with Tiffany and Nora.

Nexus was in his room when he watched Nora leaving Russell's mansion with Tiffany's cloak in her hands. He watched her till her figure disappeared from his sight. He was relieved to see Nora taking an initiative to apologize to Tiffany for her rude behavior during the dinner. A smile erupted on his face when he thought about it and imagined all of his girls living together in one house, which made him happier.

Further, he went into brooding over it. How things would work out and lead to a happy family with each other. Of course, one day the ladies had to know about it and things might differ from what nexus imagined, but still, he hoped for a better future with them. He wasn't worried about Crystal as she already knew she had to share his master with other women, but the thought of concern rises from the claimed ladies from his life.

Like Nora, she was super jealous, and it would be seen on her face as well. The interaction at the dining table made him worried about Tiffany, but now that Nora had understood that she can't fight all women to Nexus for himself. Earlier, a few days back, Nexus thought of exposing his identity to her maids. It would happen one day, so it would be great if it happened at a great time. But today's experience got him worried. Nora might have calmed down at the moment, but it wasn't the first encounter he had dealt with Nora's jealousy.

Nexus thought of revealing himself to a few of his ladies because he considered it would be an advantage for him in some situations. Sometimes, it had become difficult to keep his alter personality and real one different. Hopefully, his ladies would understand it, but now, Nexus wanted to drop his decision and postponed the revelational for some other time. All of his ladies, Nora, were the most jealous one, and he was kinda afraid of her powers. Not only could she bring destruction along with her, but she could kill others and herself with that kind of enormous power surfacing in her body.

Apart from that, Nexus had another issue of lurking danger outside. The enemy hadn't been revealed, and that concern had kept him awake for nights. With the current situation, he considers keeping the dual identity for his and others' protection.

Crystal came into the room and noticed Nexus in deep thoughts. He was zoned out, and this made Crystal upset. She knew since the day Nexus was attacked; he wasn't like himself. His mind had taken a lot, and the damage done to his body made him feel inferior as well. She heard the conversation between him and Nora and got concerned for Tiffany's well being. She knew well how bad Nora's temper was, and if this escalated to the wrong side, it would be the worst case.

"Master, are you alright?" Crystal asked from Nexus.

He smiled at her and nodded his head. "Fine! I am better now." It relaxed Crystal a bit to hear Nexus was feeling better, so thought of asking him about Nora.

"I heard your conversation with Nora a few minutes ago. It is actually a good sign that Nora has felt guilty of her actions and that she is willing to correct her mistake by apologizing to Tiffany. But I am kinda scared. We have seen how much power she holds and most of the time, her powers work according to her mood. I am concerned for Tiffany. Are you comfortable with Nora communicating alone with Tiffany? We never know when she starts to get mad."

Nexus looked at Crystal and realized that she was right. Nora gave a nasty expression to Tiffany at the dinner. She might have realized it was rude, but there was no guarantee she wouldn't do it again. Moreover, her jealousy was heavy compared to other ladies in Nexus's life. It made Nexus think about it further. He might have agreed with Nora's decision of returning Tiffany her cloak, but things would get worse if Nora got jealous for some reason. Nora's behavior was getting out of hand lately and her over-exaggerated temperature with other women around would only bring troubles in her way.

If she hurt Tiffany in any way, it would create a feud between Russell and Jame's family. If that happened, a civil war might break out and it won't end with happy ends. To protect Tiffany and Nora from such a situation, Nexus came out with a plan.

"Crystal, you are right about this. I didn't give it much thought on this matter. Perhaps it was my duty to protect both the girls from such a situation. I don't know why I acted so carelessly." Nexus admitted his mistake.

"It's not your fault, Master. I understand you have been under pressure since the day of the attack."
