“What is your relationship with the Skyfall Kingdom?”
Ember questioned with a small, friendly smile on her face.
“Oh ho, starting right from a complex topic I see,”
Nux muttered with a small smile on his face.
“You don’t have to answer me if you don’t want to. I won’t complain.”
Ember muttered.
Nux nodded and then, he answered,
“Other than the fact that I grew up there, I have no relationship with the Skyfall Kingdom.”
Hearing this answer, Ember frowned.
“As I said, you can choose not to answer if you want. I won’t say anything. However, I would prefer it if you don’t lie.
Lying won’t help us in any way, rather, it would only create a barrier between us.”
Nux, however, shook his head,
“I am not lying.
I really have no relationship with the Skyfall Kingdom, however, I do have some relationships with certain members of the Royal Family.”
Nux answered with a playful smile on his face.
“Arvina Skyfall I presume?”
Ember guessed.
“Indeed.”
Nux nodded his head.
“I guessed it. That girl doesn’t give out her badge very often.
So? How are you related to her?”
Ember questioned.
“She is my Teacher.”
Nux answered.
“Teacher? As in your personnel teacher?”
“Yes, recently, I joined Skyfall Royal Academy and caught her eyes. Then, she recruited me as her student and of course, I accepted readily.”
“Sounds like something she would do.”
Ember nodded with a smile on her face.
“You two seem to know each other.”
Nux commented.
“Well, we used to be close when she was small. However, as more and more time passed and she realized her responsibilities as the Consort of the Skyfall Kingdom and me, as the General of the Woods Dynasty, we weren’t able to spend much time with each other.”
Ember answered and Nux nodded.
Then, Ember continued,
“So you are telling me that the Royal Consort knows about your absurd talent.”
“She does, of course. She is my teacher.”
“Then why are you here? Shouldn’t you stay inside the Academy and train under her?” Ember questioned.
“She was the one who send me here. She says that I am too immature and wants me to grow up.”
Nux answered.
“Huh? You are just 19 years old? What does she expect? Isn’t the solution to this problem very simple? We just have to wait for 30-40 years, you will automatically be mature by that time.”
Ember frowned.
Wasn’t her friend being a little too immature?
Why would she send a 19-year-old boy to War?
Why if he dies?
Why would she risk losing a monstrous talent like Nux for something so stupid?
Ember couldn’t understand what was going on inside Arvina’s mind.
Nux adjusted his body as he sat more comfortably on the chair and muttered. “Teacher Arvina said that if we wait for 30-40 years, it would already be too late.”
Hearing those words, Ember frowned.
And seeing that reaction, Nux smiled, then, he bent his body towards Ember, looked around a few times and then, he whispered.
“Since I would already become an Emperor Stage Cultivator by that time and of course, I can’t become mature if I am the strongest, now can I?”
“!!!”
Ember’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Y-Y-You know about Emperor Stage!?”
“Well, Teacher Arvina told me about them, each Kingdom has one protecting them, they are the reason why the Kingdoms rule over all others, right?”
Nux smiled.
Ember was dumbfounded.
What Nux just said was a Kingdom Level Secret that shouldn’t be revealed in any scenario.
She knew that Arvina had some connections with Skyfall Kingdom’s Emperor Stage Cultivator, however, she just couldn’t understand one thing.
Why would she tell something like that to Nux!?
Was she out of her mind!?
Actually, that was okay, but…
Emperor Stage in 40 years!? What the hell is that!? What kind of absurd confidence is that!?
‘Wait… ‘
Suddenly, Ember realized something.
A 19-year-old Expert Stage Cultivator…
The youngest Expert Stage Cultivator she has ever met was 54 years old…
Ember then looked at Nux and started thinking.
‘If it is him… then… he might be able to do it…’
Suddenly, another thought appeared in Ember’s mind,
“If my memory serves me right, the Emperor Stage Cultivator of the Skyfall Kingdom still has many years left…
if you become Emperor Stage as well then…”
Ember didn’t say anymore.
However, the meaning of her words was clear.
A grave expression appeared on her face.
2 Emperors… this would be too advantageous for the Skyfall Kingdom and disadvantageous for the other 3 Kingdoms, which, includes her Dynasty as well…
This was clearly bad for her and her Dynasty’s future, not only that, but the source of all the future troubles is sitting right in front of her.
Ember started thinking…
Should she…
Get rid of him right now?
Then, Ember’s eyes fell on Nux who was looking at her with a small smile on his face.
She quickly shook her head.
‘What are you thinking, Ember!?
He trusts you!
How can you betray his trust like that!?’
Soon, however, another thought appeared in her mind,
‘It is his fault for trusting you.
This is related to the two strongest powers, if you don’t make a move right now, he will make his move in the future.
This might even destroy the Woods Dynasty.
You have to get rid of him now that you have this chance.’
‘What about Arvina then!? She sent her student here because she trusted you!
Are you going to betray her as well!?’
White Ember questioned.
‘She sent her student here so that he can train. She is treating us as some sort of practice dummy!’
Red Ember muttered.
‘Y-You! How can you think like that!?’
White Ember questioned in rage.
‘This is the truth!’
Red Ember spat.
In midst of their fight, Ember sat there with a confused expression on her face,
However, her confusion was dealt with by Nux’s next words.
“Do not worry, as I said before,
I do not belong to the Skyfall Kingdom.”
