Supreme Harem God System
chapter-316

"Do not worry, as I said before,

I do not belong to the Skyfall Kingdom."

Nux muttered with a small smile on his face.

"Huh?" Ember, however, frowned when she heard those words.

"How is that possible? You are going to become an Emperor Stage Cultivator, there is no way the Skyfall Kingdom will let you go.

I assume that you are being manipulated by your teacher.

The higher-ups in the Skyfall Kingdom must already know about you by now." Since she was already in a very confused state, she wasn't able to control herself and spoke directly.

Nux, however, shook his head and muttered.

"Believe me, I do not belong to the Skyfall Kingdom."

"..."

Ember turned silent.

She wanted to say that Nux was being ridiculous and was being lied to, however, seeing those eyes, she was unable to say those words out loud.

There was not a glimpse of uncertainty in those eyes.

She felt like Nux knew what he was talking about.

However, as a General, she understood the working of her Dynasty.

She knew how what lengths could the higher-ups of a Power could go in order to get what they want.

This is not true for the Skyfall Kingdom or the Woods Dynasty alone. It is true for every single power in this world.

From a Baron's house to the Royal Family, the core of power is always the same.

Nux, however, seems to be completely clueless about this, therefore, for some reason, Ember decided to tell the truth about this world.

"Think with me here.

Since you live in the Skyfall Kingdom, there have to be many people who know about your talent.

There is no way someone like you can stay hidden.

Trust me, if more than 10 people know about your existence, the Royal Family must be knowing about it by now.

And if the Royal Family know about you and you do not wish to become the Protector of the Kingdom, then sooner or later,

You will be assassinated."

Seeing the solemn look on Ember's face, a small smile appeared on Nux's face, then, he shook his head.

"Do not worry, what you think won't happen."

Hearing those confident words, Ember wanted to facepalm.

Why is this boy not understanding what she is talking about?

She wondered in her head.

And as if seeing through her thoughts, Nux smiled,

"I am not saying what I am saying without any reason.

My Teacher, Arvina Skyfall, is the one helping me hide my secret from others, she wants me to hide and cultivate till I become an Emperor Stage Cultivat-"

"Nux, don't forget, this 'Teacher Arvina' you are talking about is also the Royal Consort of the Skyfall Kingdom.

Do not trust a Royal, Nux.

They are made from lies.

They can come up with a lie right in front of you and make it look like what they said couldn't be truer.

By now, Arvina, who is helping you hide this secret must have already reported this to the King of the Skyfall Kingdom."

Ember muttered.

"Hmm? Isn't teacher Arvina your friend? Why are you talking like that?"

Nux quesitoned out of curosity.

"Well, she is indeed my friend, however, it has been years since she became part of the Royal Family, she is different from before.

Of course, the same goes for me as well, I am different from before since I became the General of the Woods Dynasty."

Ember answered.

"So this means what you said was just you assuming everything just because of the fact that Teacher is part of the Royal Family?" Nux questioned.

Ember frowned.

"She is part of the Royal Family, you are taking this 'fact' too lightly here."

"I will ask again, everything you said just now was just you assuming everything just because Teacher is part of the Royal Family?"

Nux repeated.

"Yes, however, it is not baseless assumptions, I have experienced many people who have gone through many different changes once they became part of the Royal Family.

That place is a deep, dark marsh.

A place of no return."

Ember nodded.

"Well, what you think isn't wrong."

Nux nodded his head.

Ember thought that this boy finally understood what she was talking about, however, these thoughts vanished as Nux continued.

"You are right, however, I will still choose to believe my judgement. The time I have spent with Teacher Arvina, the sincerity I have seen in her eyes, and her pride as a warrior that would never allow her to go back on her words, I would rather believe these things than make assumptions."

"..."

This time, Ember didn't have any way to respond.

I would rather trust my Teacher than trust useless assumptions...

Shouldn't she do the same thing?

Shouldn't she trust her friend rather than trusting these assumptions?

She should, however, after living for so many years, she has learned that rather than trusting a person, trusting assumptions is often proven correct.

"Of course, if my judgement is incorrect, then I am ready to deal with the consequences."

Nux muttered with a smile.

And hearing those words, the General came out of her reverie and frowned.

She just thought that Nux might not be as immature as she thought he is, however, he just decided to go on and prove her wrong again.

"Consequences?" She raised her eyebrows.

"You will deal with the consequences? Do you even know what the consequences are?"

"Well, I would have to fight against a Kingdom."

Nux muttered.

"..."

Again, Ember turned silent.

She was dumbfounded at how nonchalant Nux sounded.

"Or in other words, you will lose your life."

She muttered.

"Well, not necessarily." Nux smiled and Ember frowned.

And seeing her expression, Nux's smile widened.

"General Ember, I am not a fool.

I do not move without a plan.

I decided to trust my Teacher, however, this does not mean I am willing to put my life in her hands."

"..."

Ember didn't say anything and continued to listen.

"If the King already knows about it, then sooner or later, he will attack me. Of course, the Emperor Stage Cultivator won't show herself just because of a mere Expert Stage Cultivator, at best, there would be 2 or 3 King Stage Cultivators attacking me.

And General Ember, since you are my close friend, let me tell you a secret.

Although I am an Expert Stage Cultivator, I am serious, I can easily get away from a few King Stage Cultivators pursuing me.

I am stronger than I look."
