BXBX NOVEL Chapter 418 Nanaya Part 2
Blake was unsure what to do. While they were walking around the city, the girl, Nanaya, decided to cling to him. She was currently wrapped around his arm, looking at different things. But he had to admit, seeing her cute smile as she looked at objects and pulled him around was not so bad. But he still needed to get home and see his family.
After a bit of pondering, Blake finally stopped his feet, causing Nanaya to jerk back. "Blake?"
"It\'s getting late. My family is waiting for me." Blake sighed as he said this. He felt bad ruining the girl\'s fun. She seemed like a good person, but he couldn\'t keep running around like this.
"Oh?" Nanaya\'s eyes shifted away. This entire time she was truly enjoying herself. He had let her lead him around and looked at the shops together and watched the street performers together. It had been a really fun time for her. But now, hearing him say he had to go made her reluctant to part with him.
"Mmm…. It has been a fun time, and you have shown me around, allowing me to understand your beautiful culture. But sometimes, all good things must come to an end. I am sure my family is worried about me. If I do not return, they will think something happened to me." Blake learned a lot about the culture here. That the goddess Ishtar who lived in the huge palace carved out of the mountain side ruled the people here with a loving hand. She cared for her people and would fight anyone to the death to keep them safe.
"That\'s right…. You did say you had kids and wives…." Nanaya lowered her head. Blake could not see her expression, but at this time, she was biting her lower lip. "No…. You can\'t go…."
"Hmmm?" Blake was confused. He knew his charm was not working on this girl, so he did not know why she was acting this way.
"I said you can not go! As the daughter of Ishtar, princess of this island, I will not allow you to leave. Since I have decided to make you mine!" Nanaya declared. Her eyes were firm. She held tightly to Blake\'s arm, refusing to let go.
But at this point, only one word stuck out to Blake…. Princess…. This was a word that seemed to follow him everywhere. He could hear it now. The small devil fairy chanting the same words over and over while pulling on his hair. Blake sighed as he reached out and placed his hand on top of Nanaya\'s head. "We just met. You do not know me very well. So declaring you want me to be yours is not something you should jump into. And…. I can\'t just be yours. I have many wives and many children who I love and care for. Where I come from, I have hundreds of thousands of people who depend on me. The lives of my people are also very important to me. Just as the lives of the people living in this city are important to Ishtar and… you."
Nanaya, slowly let Blake go after hearing his words. She looked at the blonde headed man, her cheeks slightly red. At this moment, his handsome face and those deep blue eyes put her into a trance. She watched as he patted her head and then turned, tore a hole in the space in front of him, and disappeared within seconds. Even as the tear in space disappeared, she still stood there staring at the spot in front of her. Only after a few seconds did she clench her fists and lower her head. "No! You will be mine! Come! I know you are there!"
At Nanaya\'s shout, five men in black clothes appeared in front of her. They all were kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered. "We are going back. I must talk with Mama!"
"Yes, Princess!" The five men all stood up and got into a protective position around Nanaya. They did not come out before due to their orders not to come out unless she was about to have something very bad happen to her. After all, in a world where strength ruled, one had to undergo some hardships. But they were to step in if she was about to be killed or worse.
Nanaya\'s eyes were firm as she tapped the ground and started running toward the other end of the city.
Sometime later…..
Inside a large palace filled with lavish golden decor. A woman lay on a soft cushioned bed, room enough for only one person that sat in a lavish room with many other young women around her, tending to her needs. This was Ishtar\'s throne room. The bed she lazily laid upon could be considered her throne. She lay there with nothing but jewelry covering her body. The only people who were allowed in this palace were women. Her word was law. The ones who did all the dirty work were also all women. As the goddess of love and procreation, you would think she would have many men hanging around her all day long, but in truth, she only ever had one man and nothing more.
Although she had failed to woo one man named Gilgamesh before, but he thought she was some kind of prostitute and rejected her. Where he got this idea, she did not know, but she preferred to only surround herself with women. She had a single daughter and no other offspring. To this day, she still has not told anyone who Nanaya\'s father truly is.
And said daughter was now currently slamming her throne room door open with a serious expression on her face. "Mama! I want you to find a man named Blake for me!"

Meanwhile….
"Blake!" Lillia jumped from her seat and wanted to tackle Blake to the floor but was beaten by two little ones who had already jumped into his arms.
"Papa!"
