“Are you willing to take the right step?
Are you willing to betray your father to make the Throne yours?”
Amaya questioned with a curious smile on her face.
One thing was clear, she was definitely enjoying different reactions that were appearing and disappearing from the First Prince’s face.
“…”
The Prince remained silent for a good while and then, he looked at Amaya and seeing her smiling at him, his face turned cold and he stood up.
“I do not need to take these extreme steps, I am sure, father the King will make the right decision and will make me the next Crown Prince.
Now if you don’t have anything substantial to say, I will be taking my leave.”
Saying that, the First Prince turned around.
Looking at his back, Amaya chuckled.
This wasn’t the reaction she was hoping for, but, oh well, it was still better than other scenarios in her mind.
At the very least, the First Prince doesn’t seem to be against the idea of going against the King.
How and why she concluded that?
Well, it was pretty clear from his reaction.
If the First Prince was actually against the Idea of going against the King, then with his short-tempered attitude, he would have stood up and attacked her right there. Of course, it was possible that he was holding himself back.
However, Amaya believed that it was highly unlikely.
Out of all the emotions, Raguel showed when she talked about betraying the King, anger was missing.
Therefore, Amaya believed that at the very least, Raguel was not very loyal to his father.
Which, of course, was completely reasonable since the King was the worse father a child could hope for.
He never treated his children with love.
No, let alone love, he didn’t show a single emotion to his children.
His children meant nothing to him.
He only cared about his Trophies.
It would be weirder if a child would actually be on his side even after all that.
“Raguel.”
Just as the First Prince was about to move out of the room, Amaya called.
“What is it?”
Raguel turned back.
“You should look into Duke Merula and Duke Vestalis.”
Saying those words, Amaya closed her eyes.
From this action, it was clear that she wasn’t going to talk about this anymore.
Raguel understood that, therefore,
“I will look into it, thank you.”
He walked away with a solemn look on his face.
These two names that Amaya spoke of.
These two were very important people.
Duke Merula was the Duke who supports the Third Prince, his biggest rival, obviously, the relationship between the First Prince and Duke Merula wasn’t good.
Duke Vestalis was the Duke who stepped back from this battle and has declared his neutrality. Currently, he is the pivot point of this battle. He could even be called the strongest Duke.
If he stays neutral, the Battle continues without any problem, however, if his neutrality changes, it would change the whole course of this Battle.
If these two people are communicating, then this was not a piece of good news for Raguel.
Just as this thought popped up in Raguel’s mind, his walking speed increased and soon, he left the Palace.
Where was he going?
He wanted to meet Duke Fulvanius, his Grandfather.
He had to talk to him about this incident.
And he had to do it urgently.
…
“Did you know? Teacher Evane left the Academy.”
On the other side, Arvina walks into Nux’s room and informed.
“Hmm? Of course, I do.”
Nux frowned.
Why was she so surprised?
He wondered inwardly.
“You know?”
Arvina raised her eyebrow.
“Of course I do. She is my wife after all, how could I not know?”
“What!?”
Arvina’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Hmm? What happened? Why do you look so surprised, Teacher Arvina?”
Nux tilted his head in confusion.
“Teacher Evane is your wife!?”
Arvina, however, wasn’t as calm as him.
“Hmm? I thought you knew?”
Nux was still as confused as before.
“How would I know something like that!?”
“Did you not notice how she was visiting us every night? She was also there when I fought against Baldy. I thought you already connected the dots.”
Nux replied.
“I thought that she was just coming here to meet her student’s wives! The same thing happened with the Principal, I thought she was just here to help her student!”
“Hmm? Then why would she visit us again and again if she just wanted to meet my wives? Also, how would she help me deal with a King Stage Cultivator when she is only a Grand Master Stage Cultivator?”
Nux questioned in confusion.
“I was there as well wasn’t I!? I am also just an Expert Stage Cultivator! Also, didn’t I meet your wives multiple times, didn’t I!? Does that mean that I am your wife as well!?”
Arvina questioned back.
‘Well, I don’t mind that at all. I am actually looking forward to that day actually.’
Nux wanted to say this out loud, however, he knew it wasn’t the time yet.
Therefore, he held himself back and stepped back.
“I apologize, Teacher Arvina. I didn’t think about it that way. I should have talked to you about this sooner.”
He admitted his mistake.
“Let me correct my mistake now, Teacher Arvina.
Yes, Evane is indeed my wife. I fell in love with her when I first met her, then I proposed to her after I returned from the Woods Dynasty and luckily, she accepted.”
“S-She accepted.”
Arvina stuttered.
She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
Evane, who was a Teacher just like her was in a relationship with her student…
“H-H-How could you… she is your Teacher…”
Arvina pointed her trembling finger at Nux and questioned.
“Look, Teacher Arvina, I know it feels wrong, and I perfe-”
Nux wanted to explain things, however, suddenly,
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Suddenly, the two of them heard a knock.
Arvina frowned and walked towards the door, however, before she could, the door opened itself and a white-haired beauty walked in.
“You weren’t going to let me wait outside, were you?”
The woman spoke and seeing the woman in front of her,
Arvina’s eyes widened in horror.
“A-A-Allura Skyfall!”
