"What does Lord Amletus have to say about all this?"
Nux questioned.
"Hmm?"
Riona tilted her head in confusion.
"Lord Amletus?"
"Well, your Kingdom just lost 2 King Stage Cultivators, didn't you? What does he have to say about all this?"
Nux questioned.
"That was not my fault, it was the King's."
A small smile appeared on Riona's face as the letter that was sent to the two King Stage Cultivators, telling them to go to the Skyfall Kingdom and kill the Princess, stamped by the King himself, appeared in her hand.
"…"
Nux turned silent.
Was it just him, or the won from Amaya's family were really too dangerous?
Just… just what is with all this shrewd planning.
Nux thanked all the gods he believed in that Amaya was on his side.
He didn't want to know what it would feel like to have her as an enemy.
At the sa ti, he also pitied the King of this Kingdom, first, he was a fool, second, his opponent was soone like Riona…
That bastard really had the shitiest luck possible.
"Would Amletus believe you? I an, I am the King would tell him the truth that you were the one who told him about this plan, to be honest, with how you described, I would rather believe the King, than believing you if I was in Amletus position.
There is also that letter Raguel sent, and the fact the King Stage Cultivators who died was sort of like your enemies."
Nux spoke.
"Well, I never said I would deny the fact that Raguel contacted or that I was interested in this plan.
However, if I actually wanted to jump onto that plan, I would never talk with the King, I only talked with him since I wasn't sure.
I wasn't 'manipulating', I just felt that it was a good opportunity so I discussed it with him.
I even tried to warn him when he jumped on it too quickly, however, it was the king who jumped on it too quickly.
It is not like I am lying, there is no reason for Lord Amletus to not believe ."
Riona shrugged with a carefree smile on her face.
"So what you are saying is you are planning to be honest with him."
"Yes, he will catch on if I try to lie, therefore, I will just omit a few things and tell him the truth. Even that pig wouldn't be able to retort , let alone Lord Amletus."
"…"
Nux turned silent.
'Fuck, she is scary.'
He was in awe, however,
Emperors weren't the ones you would want to play around with,
"Are you sure you want to play around with soone like Lord Amletus?"
Nux has t Astaria, he has seen just how scary she can be, even in his wildest dream, he wouldn't try to fool her.
Riona just smiled,
"You have to take little risks if you want to achieve sothing, the worse that could happen is that I will lose my life.
I have nothing to lose."
"…"
Nux turned silent.
He was getting nothing out of this situation, therefore, after thinking for a while, he changed his questions.
"What do you think about the Solid Earth Kingdom?"
"Hmm?"
Riona frowned.
Why did he change the topic so suddenly, she wondered inwardly.
However, seeing the serious look on Nux's face, she decided to answer his question.
She also wanted to talk about this with soone else.
"Strange."
"Hmm?"
"The Solid Earth Kingdom, its recent movents are too strange. It wasn't long before it lost a lot of power for doing sothing foolish, however, now they are attacking the Woods Dynasty and not only that.
They are winning.
They have already defeated 2 of their Generals and the new General that has replaced the previous one after he was killed is barely holding on.
I don't know how, but there are 3 Generals in their Army.
I was suspicious about this, so I tried to send a few spies inside that Kingdom, however, I soon lost contact with those spies.
Sothing is definitely wrong with the Solid Earth Kingdom, I just don't know what."
"Have you tried talking to Lord Amletus about this?"
"His response was even stranger."
"What do you an?"
Nux questioned.
"Normally, Lord Amletus would have been curious, and would have tried to look things on his own, however, when I reported things to him, he told that since their Emperor isn't making a move, he couldn't do anything about it. This behavior was completely different from normal."
Nux narrowed his eyes.
"That is strange…"
He then glanced at Riona and narrowed his eyes even further.
No matter how he thinks about this, it didn't seem like Riona was involved with whatever was going on with the Solid Earth Kingdom.
Unlike what Astaria believes, Riona only contacted Raguel because she wanted to talk with her daughter.
Of course, with what he has seen today, Nux didn't plan to trust Riona completely either. Riona was smart, for her, fooling and manipulating people around her wasn't a hard job.
"Where is Kelton?"
Suddenly, Amaya questioned.
"Hmm? He is back in the Palace."
Riona replied.
"Tell him to co here once you return," Amaya spoke.
She then turned towards Nux and used the connection,
'Use Slave Seal on him, we need to plant a spy in this Kingdom.'
Maybe Amaya understood what Nux was thinking, trusting Riona was a mistake, she may look earnest but she was still a Queen of the Kingdom.
Therefore, they could only use Kelton.
Normally, Amaya wouldn't have allowed used Slave Seal on Kelton because of everything he has done for her.
However, if it was sothing that might benefit Nux, she was willing to do it.
Morality or things like that didn't matter, if it was for Nux, Amaya was willing to fall to any lengths.
"What are you planning to do with him?"
Suddenly, Riona questioned.
"What do you an?"
Amaya questioned back.
"You may not look at him favorably, but don't forget, he is soone who looked out for you in your worse ti.
Do not hurt him."
