"Alright, time is up, you should leave now."
Amaya spoke.
Riona looked at her and pouted,
"You really hate me, don't you?"
Amaya sighed, "I already told you this before, I do not hate you, if you do not leave, someone will get suspicious of you, it is foolish to extend this meeting for a few minutes when it may ruin our future meetings."
"Tsk, having a daughter who is a genius has its fair share of troubles as well."
Riona snorted, then, she stretched her hand outwardly and stood up,
"Alright, I will be taking my leave guys. We will meet again tomorrow, you people can discuss the plan with Nux, if he agrees, we can have an even more detailed discussion. Is that okay?"
"Don't worry, we will discuss it with him."
Thyra nodded.
"Yeah, now leave." Amaya waved her hands.
It looked as if she was shooing her away.
The scene was quite comical with Riona pouting like a little child. One might even wonder who is the daughter here.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Riona then walked out of the mansion with a sad look on her face.
"You could be a little more polite to her, you know…" Seeing this scene, Skyla commented.
"Don't be fooled by her, she is the Queen of the Kingdom, that too in a Kingdom where females never had power before. She is not the type of woman who would get affected by something like this."
Amaya spoke with an expressionless look on her face.
"What do you mean?"
Thyra felt that Amaya's words had a hidden meaning behind them, so she questioned.
"Think about this. Raguel send assassins and 'killed' Amaya, Riona Skadi's blood daughter, do you think he would be stupid enough to ask for her help?"
"Well, she did 'sell' you to another Kingdom, so I don't think he would care about your relation with her while talking to her. In the grand schemes of things, something like this is useless." Thyra replied.
"I understand that, however, if you were in Raguel's position, would you still choose to go for the Skadi Kingdom?
I mean, since he has 2 other options that would give him the same result as this one, he would be a fool to choose the Skadi Kingdom."
"…"
Thyra turned silent.
Amaya was correct.
Raguel could have chosen the Solid Earth Kingdom or the Woods Dynasty as well, the result would have been the same in both cases. Choosing a Kingdom that could potentially be holding a grudge against you is a foolish decision.
"Something is wrong here."
Thyra commented.
"Indeed, that woman is hiding something. The timing is too accurate for it to be just a coincidence. Think about this, we are here and in just a few days, Raguel sent a letter like this to the Skadi Kingdom.
He had a month, why didn't he send it before? Why the Skadis? Why not someone else? And why did he decide to move so suddenly?"
Amaya nodded and pointed out a few more suspicious things.
Now, even Skyla and Edda realized something was not right and Skyla's face turned serious.
"Do you think that woman is planning something?"
Skyla questioned.
Skyla might look cute and innocent at first, however, do not forget, she is Thyra's best student. She has killed quite a few people, she was warm and innocent, however, she was not naïve, the moment she realizes that Riona was trying to harm her sisters or Nux, she wouldn't hessite to kill her off.
"That woman is definitely planning something."
Amaya replied.
Skyla's expression turned icy.
She had decided, she would get rid of that bitch with her own hands.
"However, I don't know whether her plan is to harm her or not."
Amaya spoke and hearing those words, Skyla calmed down.
She interacted with Riona, she could feel that her love for Amaya was genuine, she didn't know whether she was fooled or not, however, she would like to believe that what she was feeling was correct.
Riona might have an ulterior motive, however, Skyla wanted to believe that her ulterior motive doesn't involve hurting them.
"So what are we doing?"
Thyra questioned.
"What else? We would talk to Nux and the others, know what they think about it and then come up with a decision." Amaya shrugged.
"Alright."
Thyra nodded.
Time passed, and a few hours later, Nux returned,
"Hello, you beautiful ladies~"
With an elegant bow, he greeted. The scene looked quite funny considering that his clothes were rather dirty, completely different than the elegant look he was going for.
The women chuckled and shook their heads in helplessness.
"You are finally back," Amaya spoke.
"Indeed."
Nux nodded.
"Why are your clothes so dirty? You didn't go to the Forbidden Region, did you?" Thyra narrowed her eyes and questioned.
"Of course not. There is no way I would face a beast that even an Emperor is wary of. Did you forget? I am someone who would run the moment I think that my life is in danger. Why would I risk my life by doing something so stupid?"
"So you are saying that your clothes got dirty in the inner zone?"
Thyra raised her eyebrow in doubt.
One had to know, even when Nux was just a Grand Master Stage Cultivator, his clothes didn't get dirty in the inner zone.
He always had a little layer of waiter shield all around his body that protects his clothes and his face from all the dirt and blood in the Wilderness.
It was not like Nux would struggle desperately fighting normal beasts, he can even one-shot a 6 Star beasst now, who would force Nux to the extent that his clothes got dirty?
"Well, don't worry about it, I was trying a few new things."
Nux chuckled.
"New things?"
Thyra narrowed her eyes.
"What new things? Tell me! Tell me!"
Skyla questioned with a curious look on her face. At the same time, she grabbed this chance to rush and Nux and hug him. She didn't mind getting a little dirt on her clothes.
A small price to pay.
"It's a secret~" Nux chuckled.
Skyla pouted.
