“This information is not for sale.”
Amaya replied as she turned around and closed her eyes.
The First Prince didn’t know how to react to that.
If it was just a normal rejection, he would have probably left quietly, however, that little observation Amaya did before answering…
That annoyed him.
It was as if Amaya was trying to say, ‘you are not worthy of buying this information from me.’
And of course, as the First Prince of the Strongest Kingdom, Raguel didn’t like that answer at all.
A vein popped up on his forehead and he glared at Amaya.
“You better answer me when I am asking nicely.”
Hearing those words, Amaya opened her eyes again and glanced at Raguel,
“Oh? What if I don’t?”
“It is not hard to hurt a cripple who cannot move,”
Raguel threatened.
“Are you threatening me?”
Amaya narrowed her eyes.
“I am not, I am just saying that you shouldn’t make enemies, especially in that condition.”
“Heh.”
Suddenly, Amaya chuckled.
Raguel frowned in confusion and a smile appeared on Amaya’s face.
“You don’t even have the guts to admit that you just threatened me, a cripple and you want to become the King? Quite laughable.”
This time, Raguel lost control over his emotions and tried to grab Amaya’s neck.
“Sure, c’mon, try and touch me, I would like to see how many seconds this Mist needs to completely obliterate the First Prince of the Strongest Kingdom.”
However, Amaya’s next words stopped him.
Raguel clenched his finger in anger and threatened.
“Don’t think you are invincible just because I can’t touch you.
I still have many ways to kill you.”
“Are you threatening me, First Prince?”
Amaya repeated her question with a smile on her face.
This time, however, Raguel didn’t back down and replied in a cold voice.
“I am, can you do anything about it?”
Hearing those words, Amaya chuckled again.
“Are you threatening a Royal Consort? I didn’t know you were so brave. I wonder what the King would have to say about it.”
“…”
Raguel turned silent.
He completely forgot the woman in front of him is his father’s woman.
*Gulp*
Raguel gulped as he glanced at Amaya with a wary look on his face.
This woman… she was playing with his emotions!
Raguel finally realized why his mother was so wary of this woman.
She may not be strong, but, she knew how to play with the person in front of him.
She made him say things he would normally never say, especially to a consort.
The First Prince narrowed his eyes and observed Amaya.
On the other side, Amaya was doing the same.
‘Arrogant, short-tempered and…
A fool.’
And within a few seconds, she formed a character chart in her mind.
“I may not be able to harm you right now, however, I still suggest you to not to underestimate me.”
A few seconds later, Raguel questioned.
Amaya looked at him and smiled, clearly, she was not taking him seriously.
“Once I become the King, your status as the Royal Consort will not save you anymore,”
“Heh. This would have scared me 2 days ago, not now.”
Amaya dropped a bomb.
The First Prince narrowed his eyes.
“…”
Amaya looked at him, waiting for his next question.
“…”
Raguel, however, didn’t say anything.
‘Haahh…’
Amaya sighed inwardly.
‘I guess I need to spoon-feed him.’
“You becoming the King is imposs-”
Amaya wanted to say something, however, she paused mid-sentence and turned around.
It was as if she was hiding something.
The First Prince finally realized.
“You know something, don’t you?”
He questioned as he narrowed his eyes.
Amaya sighed.
“I will not answer your questions.”
She repeated.
“Lady Amaya, please, I need your help.”
Raguel spoke, sincerity shining in his eyes.
Amaya looked at him for a while and spoke,
“Why? Didn’t you say you would kill me once you become the King?”
“I give you my word that I won’t.”
Raguel answered with a serious look on his face.
Of course, normally, his ‘word’ wouldn’t have been enough.
However, that is only when Amaya was actually scared of him.
She could kill someone like Raguel with just a mere thought.
He posed no threat.
She looked at Raguel for a while and then, she finally dropped a bomb.
“You know, I really hate Ricardus.”
The First Prince narrowed his eyes.
“What do you mean?”
“I am sure you know what it means, don’t you?”
Amaya questioned as her dark black eyes shined.
“Do you… want me to Kill the King?”
After some hesitation, the First Prince questioned.
‘Huh?’
Amaya frowned.
She had to admit, this was not something she was expecting when she was playing her little game.
Then, a small smile appeared on Amaya’s face.
She wasn’t expecting this, however, she would definitely walk on this new road of possibilities.
Within a few seconds, a whole new set of questions appeared in Amaya’s voice and she continued,
“Look, I will be honest with you Raguel.
It doesn’t matter if this new rumor about King favoring Lovis over you is true or not, there are some events that are going around in this Kingdom that are not in your favor at all.
If things continue to move as they are moving right now, the Throne will never be yours.”
“What are these ‘events’ you are talking about?”
Raguel questioned.
Amaya, however, chuckled,
“Now hear me out, will you?
Why do you even need to know what these ‘things’ are?”
“What do you mean?”
“Answer me, who would become the new King if suddenly, Ricardus dies tomorrow morning?”
Amaya questioned.
Right now, her eyes were completely focused on any minute changes that appears on Raguel’s face.
Raguel’s eyes widened, but soon, he replied.
“That would be me.”
“Indeed. That would be you.
You are the Strongest of all the Princes, you are the Oldest, and right now, you are the only possible option.
However, the question is.
Are you willing to take the right step?
Are you willing to betray your father to make the Throne yours?”
