Just like any other night, Amaya was lying on her bed, her body was covered by Black colored Mist and even though her eyes were wide open, she didn’t move an inch.
In front of her face, there was a black colored Mist. Or that is how anyone looking from afar would see it as. However, if someone glanced at this mist from Amaya’s angle, they would see a portrait of a man’s face.
There was a silly smile on Amaya’s face while she continued to make changes to the portrait before bringing it back to normal.
‘As I expected, if his nose was any sharper, it wouldn’t look good at all. He is perfect the way he is.’
Amaya noted and then continued to enlarge Nux’s eyes.
‘Nope, that won’t do either. I need to try something else.’
Yes, believe it or not, that was how Amaya passed most of her time.
Thinking about Nux.
She was beyond crazy at this point.
*Step*
While Amaya was enjoying her time, suddenly, her expression changed.
Without wasting any other second, she activated her [Sense] and soon, she noticed 5 men walking toward her room.
She frowned, then, she increased her Mana output, widened her search range just to be sure, and once she was sure there was no one else, she informed Nux.
‘Nux, I am surrounded by 5 assassins.’
She didn’t receive any response from another side, however, Amaya was still calm.
‘You don’t have to worry too much, also, don’t shout out loud, I can’t hear you that way. Talk to me through connection.’
‘Are you okay? Do you need my help!?’
She soon received her answer.
A small smile appeared on Amaya’s face and at the same time, those 5 Assassins walked into her room, 3 through the door and 2 through the window.
They had blocked all her escape routes and even though they had covered their faces, Amaya could tell that they were smiling at her.
‘Don’t worry, there is only 1 Expert Stage Cultivator and 4 Grand Master Stage Cultivators, I can deal with them alone.
You carry on with your session with Evane, I will not give my time to her.’
‘Hmph, don’t even talk about it. That Bastard Lovis interrupted us.’
Nux snorted. Hearing the assassins’ cultivation, he calmed down.
Amaya can handle those idiots with ease.
‘Hmm? Are you guys being attacked as well?’
Amaya questioned.
‘No, we are not being attacked. It seems that someone send some sort of letter to this Lovis using Evane’s stamp, this idiot fell for it and came here.’
Nux informed.
‘Nux… use your [Sense].’
Amaya spoke.
‘I know, I have used it already, other than Lovis’s Butler, no one else is around us.’
Nux answered.
‘What about the servants?’
Amaya questioned.
‘…’
Nux paused and then a minute later, he spoke while scratching the back of his head.
‘Well, I guess we are going to be attacked as well.’
‘Raguel is pretty bold.’
Amaya spoke.
‘Well, it is a good chance, is it not? We should thank him.’
Nux smiled as he glanced at Lovis.
Amaya chuckled.
“Hmmm? Does she not realize that she is in danger?”
One of the assassins surrounding Amaya questioned with a disdainful smile on his face.
“It’s not like she can do anything, can she? She can’t move, remember?”
Another assassin answered.
“But she can still react, can’t she? I heard that she can talk even if she is in this condition.”
The first assassin replied.
“You really want to hear my voice, don’t you?”
Amaya smiled.
The assassin was taken back by the smile on her face and soon, he sighed,
“I can’t believe that they are making me kill a beauty like you, Lady Amaya. Trust me, I feel so bad, however, I can’t go against them, I need to feed myself, after all.”
Amaya just laughed lightly.
“Don’t worry, no hard feelings.”
“I knew you were different than other women, Lady Amaya. If only you could be my woman, even though you are cursed, I would have treasured you with all my heart.”
The assassin replied.
“Can you fulfill my last wish though?”
“What is it?”
“I want to know why I am dying, who ordered it?”
Hearing that question, the assassin sighed,
“Lady Amaya, I am sure you already know how things work in our field. I can’t tell you about it.”
“Well, you people don’t really talk to your target like you are doing either, now do you?”
Amaya smiled.
“Haah! You got me there.”
The assassin smiled.
“Alright, I will fulfill your last wish, Duke Vestalis sent us here.”
“Hmmm.”
Amaya nodded her head.
“You had already guessed it, hadn’t you?”
The assassins questioned.
“I had a rough idea.”
Amaya nodded.
“You are amazing indeed.”
The assassin nodded.
“Though I would like to ask, how did you know it was Duke Vestalis? It could have been any other Duke as well. Duke Merula for example.
I mean, sorry to say this, Lady Amaya, but you aren’t exactly liked by any of the Dukes.”
“They have terrible taste.”
Amaya replied.
“They do, indeed.” The assassin nodded.
“As for your answer, well, it’s simple really, Lovis and Evane are currently being attacked, and Lucas is… well, Lucas, completely useless, so I don’t think Duke Merula will do anything risky for that boy, he stands no chance to win the throne, after all. Why take such a huge risk?
The only one left is Raguel, the first Prince, so it had to be Duke Vestalis.” Amaya generously explained.
Hearing those words, the assassin nodded. “Now that I hear this from you, it does make a lot of sense, you are indeed the most intelligent woman in this Kingdom, lady Amaya. Even a muscle brain like me understood what you just said.”
Amaya nodded back with a smile.
The assassin continued to nod as well, however, suddenly, he paused.
He then turned towards Amaya and questioned with a solemn look on his face.
“How did you know that Sir Lovis and Lady Evane are being attacked?”
