chapter-471
The next day passed by very quickly, Riona spend her entire day preparing for her meeting with Nux.
No matter what, she had to talk to Nux and win his trust.
There were many questions in her mind, especially after what she saw yesterday and only Nux could answer her questions.
With a nervous look on her face, Riona walked to where she met Nux and Thyra yesterday. This time, the one following her was not the King Stage Assassin, but a Grand Master Stage Cultivator.
A move to show her trust in Nux and Thyra.For her to go in front of 2 King Stage Cultivators alone, it required guts. Of course, this was all just for a show. Riona had met Nux and even fought against him for a while, she knew how strong he was, bringing another King Stage Cultivator won't make much of a difference, however, as they say, it is the thought that counts.
Well, the man who followed her was not normal either. A man Nux has seen quite a few times but has avoided every time.
Kelton.
Amaya's butler.
"I hope you are prepared." When his eyes fell on her, Nux smiled.
"…"
Thyra didn't say anything and continued to observe the woman in front of her."Let's not waste much time and continue, I am sure you have many questions in your mind, I will answer all those questions if your so-called explanation is convincing enough."
Riona nodded, she didn't wish to waste much time either.
"As you already know, Amaya was born with an uncurable curse. Her entire body was filled with a certain Dark Mist that doesn't allow her to cultivate, forcing her to live like a mortal. However, in truth, Amaya wasn't the first person who was born with that curse.
In truth, that Dark Mist is not a curse but a physique.
Devouring Mist Physique.
A Physique that many descendants of the Skadi Family inherit. They call the inheritors Physique Holders.
It is something that should have been a gift, something that should have made the Skadi Family the strongest family there is. However, even after searching for generations, we never managed to find a way to cultivate this Physique.
For us, this physique was nothing more than a curse to us and the Physique Holders are considered harbingers of misfortune.
The hatred that the Skadi Family has for this physique is unimaginable. It is to the point where they kill the Physique Holders in order to show their dissatisfaction to the Sky about the Physique.
A foolish custom, I know.
However, even with all the power I have, there is nothing I can do to change this.
Stopping the King was not a problem, however, Lord Amletus, the Emperor of the Skadi Kingdom is not someone I can go against.
If he had found out about Amaya's Physique, he would have killed her for sure.
I could have faked Amaya's death and could have allowed her to live somewhere else, however, this was too risky. I may have power in this Kingdom, however, unlike Lord Amletus, my power is not absolute.
I have many enemies that would do anything they can to destroy me.
There was no way for me completely hide Amaya inside the Kingdom, one day, her physique would have been revealed and once that happens, she would have been executed.
Therefore, the only option I had was to 'use' Amaya."
"That's why you 'sold' her to the Skyfall Kingdom."
"Indeed, since we got what we wanted without 'giving away' anything, Lord Amletus, who now knew about Amaya's Physique made an exception and decided not to kill her."
"So you planned everything and sent her away because you didn't wish for her to be executed?"
"Yes."
"Then why didn't you say anything to Amaya?"
"How could I talk to the harbinger of misfortune, that girl only had one use, once I used her, I don't care about her anymore."
Riona replied and Nux understood.
"So that was the persona you opted."
"If I talked with her, even in secret, someone would have found out, and again, things could have gotten worse."
Riona replied, then, she lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "I regret not talking to her…"
Thinking about it, Riona clenched her fist in anger.
'If only I could talk to her.'
"And I presume this man is the 'proof' of everything you said?"
Nux questioned as he glanced at Kelton who was wearing a mask.
"Yes, if you were close to Amaya, you must have met him."
Amaya nodded and at the same time, she signaled Kelton to remove his mask.
"Kelton, long time no see."
Nux smiled.
"Master Nux…"
Kelton greeted back.
"Kelton was my most loyal subordinate, I sent him away so that he could protect Amaya from all the harm and take care of her."
"Heh, it doesn't seem like he is very good at his job." Nux chuckled.
Kelton clenched his fists in anger.
No, he was not angry at Nux, he was angry at himself.
"I deserve death."
He spoke.
'Ask if Kelton reported everything I did to her.'
Suddenly, Nux heard a voice in his head.
"Did Kelton report everything Amaya did to you?"
Nux questioned.
"He did, although I wasn't there on my own, as a mother, I had to keep an eye on my daughter. Of course, if what she was doing was something that the Skadi Kingdom shouldn't know, I kept it a secret.
Before I a Queen, I am a mother."
Riona answered.
"Heh, so you were a spy." Nux glanced at Kelton and smirked,
"No wonder I didn't like you from the beginning."
"I was not a spy, I never betrayed Lady Amaya. Lady Riona would never harm her."
"And what if she did?"
Nux questioned.
"I have seen how miserable she has been when she sent her daughter away with my own eyes, Lady Riona is simply incapable of hurting Lady Amaya.
She loves her more than her own life."
