Chapter 400 Hmph! Who would want that bastard to live any longer?

"Princess Evane, would you like to be the Ruler of this Kingdom?"

Amaya walked towards Evane and questioned with a curious look on her face.

"H-Huh? R-R-Ruler? A-As is the Queen?"

"Of course, what else would it be?

So? How about it?

Would you like to participate in the Battle for the Throne and fight with your dear brothers?"

"O-Oh."

Evane didn't know how to respond.

Seeing this, Amaya stepped back and explained.

"You see, our initial plan was simple, we were planning to kill the King and then overthrow his reign. Nux would then become the next King and we would then live the rest of our life together with him, as Queens.

His Queen, mind you, I am not interested in ruling the Kingdom.,

My only wish is to see him sitting on the Throne and ruling the world."

Amaya looked at Nux and smiled lovingly.

Nux chuckled and then sent a flying kiss in her direction.

Amaya's smile widened and then, she turned back to Evane,

"However, there are certain problems with that plan.

One is Astaria Skyfall, the Emperor Stage Cultivator that is protecting the Skyfall Kingdom, she would not allow anyone who is not a Skyfall to sit on that Throne.

Well, to be honest, we would have dealt with her one way or another,

However, we have now stumbled upon a new problem, a problem I can't deal with."

"E-Even you can't deal w-with it?"

"As much as I hate to admit it, I cannot."

Amaya shook her head with a disappointed look on her face.

"What's the problem?"

Evane questioned with a curious look on her face.

The moment she met Amaya, she could feel a strange pressure emitting from her, it was as if this woman was capable of doing literally anything.

Initially, she only thought of Amaya as a pitiful girl who was abandoned by everyone.

However, after having a chat with Skyla and the others, she finally realized, Amaya was anything but pitiful. Yes, whatever happened to her might be sad, however, she wasn't dejected, she continued fighting and with her frightening intelligence, she successfully raised the largest information chamber in the whole world in just 5 years.

In Evane's eyes, Amaya was an invincible woman.

Someone who is completely different than…

Her.

Therefore, she didn't know how to react to what Amaya said.

"Well, her name is Evane Skyfall or Evane Leander."

Amaya smiled as she looked at Evane.

"M-Me?"

Evane was surprised.

Amaya chuckled and then she explained,

"You see, killing the King is easy, however, now that you are here, Nux is hesitating.

No matter how distant the two of you are, in the end, you two are still related by blood.

Well, to be honest, I can't really relate, if it were me, I would rather support him in killing that sorry excuse of a man who claims to be my father, and from what I have seen, your father isn't very different from mine. I don't know why you would feel bad about his death.

But now that I have seen you, I can understand.

You are too timid, Evane.

Although you won't say anything out loud, you would still be affected by his death. You might even blame yourself for it and this is something this man wouldn't accept, no matter what."

Amaya spoke as she pointed at Nux.

A small smile appeared on Nux's face as he glanced at Amaya.

'And here I thought that I hid it from you.'

He chuckled.

'Hmph! Boy, try training for another 1000 years before trying to fool me.'

Amaya snorted.: owner of this content.

Nux shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

He thought that Amaya would only discuss the plan she had discussed with him, however, clearly, she has some other things in her mind.

'Amaya… just how can you be so amazing?'

'I was born amazing.'

Amaya lifted her chest in pride.

'Oi Oi Oi, how dare you two talk to each other using the connection.'

Suddenly, Ember interrupted.

'Hmm? How did you know?'

Nux frowned.

He was sure his connection with Amaya was a personal one, others shouldn't be able to listen to it.

'Just look at her.'

Ember spoke.

Nux then glanced at Amaya and,

"Pfftt!"

He burst out in laughter.

Amaya, who was talking to Evane was now standing with her chest lifted up, closed eyes, and a proud smile on her face, while others looked at her with a confused looks on their face.

The scene looked quite comical.

*Cough* *Cough*

Hearing his laugh, Amaya soon came out of her reverie and coughed to hide her embarrassment.

Then, as if nothing happened, she turned back toward Evane and continued,

"And since Nux wouldn't accept this, I need to come up with something else.

Something that doesn't involve killing that useless father of yours."

Amaya's tone sounded… disappointed for some reason.

Evane didn't know what to say.

She knew that Nux wanted to become the King.

She wasn't a fool, she knew something like this won't happen until the King, that is her father, is dead.

She was given a choice.

Her future husband or her father.

A man who she just met a few months ago, or the man who shared the same blood as her.

The answer was obvious.

Her future husband.

Unlike Nux, with whom, she could now spend her entire day without any complaints, she wasn't really close to her father. She didn't even have to think for a second to come up with an answer.

It was that obvious.

However, if she was actually honest, and could be a little more selfish,

She would rather not choose at all.

And Amaya finding out about this and actually doing something about it…

This was… touching…

She felt like she was around the people who actually cared about her.

A small smile appeared on her face.

However,

"You really don't want the King to live now do you?"

Ember questioned with a curious smile on her face as she glanced at Amaya.

"Hmph! Who would want that bastard to live any longer?"
