‘Thyra, can you describe what kind of person this Riona is?’
Nux questioned.
Thyra placed her hand on her chin and started thinking, a few seconds later, she replied,
‘Cruel, selfish, emotionless, distant’
‘A terrible person.’
Nux analyzed, Thyra, however, shook her head,
‘No, she was not a bad person, she may be all that, however, she still cared about her subordinates. Whenever one of the assassins dies in any mission, although in front of everyone, she would remain emotionless,
However, one day, I found her standing in front of an assassin’s dead body, she looked genuinely sad but as soon as she saw me, she picked up the body and buried it.
I clearly remember, she didn’t use her leg to push the body into the pit, although coldly, she still picked the body with her own hands and buried it properly. That is not something an ’emotionless’ master would do.’
‘So she was only acting as if she was emotionless.’
Nux muttered.
‘That is what I believe at least.’
Thyra nodded.
Hearing these words, Nux frowned,
Thyra’s description was different from Amaya’s.
If Riona was actually caring, then why would she give her daughter away as her gift?
Did she not have enough power?
Or…
Another thought appeared in Nux’s mind.
‘Thyra, can this all be just an act to ensure your loyalty?’
Nux questioned.
Thyra narrowed her eyes and shook her head.
‘I was only an Advance Stage Cultivator back then, I don’t think she would go that far for a mere Advance Stage Cultivator.’
‘You were not a normal Advance Stage Cultivator, Thyra. You were someone with High-level affinity, someone who had the chance to become a King Stage Assassin, you were definitely worth the effort.’
‘…’
Thyra turned silent.
‘This could all be an act, can it not?’
Nux questioned again.
‘It can.’
After thinking for a while, Thyra nodded.
While Thyra and Nux were talking to each other, the King Stage Cultivator lost his patience,
“Mrs. Thyra, are you going to help us?”
He questioned.
Thyra glanced at the man in front of him, then after thinking for a while, she shook her head,
“I have been thinking about this for a while,
I will not help you.”
The man finally lost his patience, he wanted to attack Thyra right here, however, for some reason, he felt that it would be a huge mistake.
Therefore, he controlled his anger and started walking away.
He would think of another way to complete this Mission.
However,
“I will not help you, not until I know why she wants to Kill the First Prince.”
Thyra completed.
“I told you before, I really don’t know why she wants Raguel dead.” The man spoke with a genuine look on his face.
“I know.”
Thyra nodded and then, she smiled,
“Therefore, I will come and meet Master on my own.”
The man’s eyes widened in surprise, even Nux was surprised.
Thyra then turned towards Nux and smiled,
‘Everything she did could be an act, I know. However, I still believe that it wasn’t. Why don’t you meet her and find out on your own?’
‘But that’s the Skadi Kingdom, we don’t know anything about their Emperor, he might attack us.’
‘They don’t know who we are or our relationship with Evane, in their eyes, I am only an assassin who has come here for her last Mission, they won’t kill us as long as we haven’t killed Raguel.’
Thinking that what she said made sense, Nux nodded.
‘Alright then. Tell him that we are leaving tomorrow.’
Nux had already used his ‘Free’ Teleportation for today, therefore, leaving tomorrow was the best option.
Thyra smiled and then turned back to the man,
“You want to meet Master?” The man questioned again.
“What? You are not scared are you?”
“…”
The man turned silent and after thinking for a while, he nodded.
“Great, we will be leaving early in the morning.” Thyra smiled.
The man nodded and then, he started walking away.
“I will meet you in front of this Mansion at 4 in the Morning.” He spoke.
“Alright.” Thyra nodded and the man left.
5 minutes after the man left, Amaya, Ember, and all of Nux’s wives except for Evane walked into Alger’s Mansion.
“You are going to the Skadi Kingdom?”
Amaya narrowed her eyes and questioned.
“I am.” Nux nodded.
“You are not thinking of going after that bitch, are you?” She narrowed her eyes.
“Woah Woah, What do you think of me? I am not a pervert, okay?”
“…” Amaya didn’t say anything and continued to look at Nux’s face.
“…” Nux realized that she wasn’t joking, therefore, with a serious look on his face, he nodded,
“Don’t worry, I won’t go after your mother. I will not do anything that would hurt you.”
“What if that bitch comes after you?”
“I will reject her.”
Nux’s answer was instantaneous.
“My Amaya is much more important to me than any random slightly beautiful woman.”
A small smile appeared on Amaya’s face, however, she retorted.
“She is not beautiful.”
This time, Nux shook his head,
“She is your mother, there is no way I would believe that.”
Amaya turned away.
Seeing her acting like that, Nux realized that her mood was now better, a small smile appeared on his face.
“But why do you want to meet her? Riona Skadi is not a normal person.”
Suddenly, Ember questioned.
“Hmm? You know about her?” Nux questioned with a surprised look on his face.
“I was the General of Woods Kingdom, you know? Of course, I know about her.”
“Why don’t you know anything about the King’s Wives then?”
“Heh, don’t compare someone like Riona to those idiots who only play ‘beautiful me’ all day. Riona Skadi is different. A lot more different.”
Ember chuckled, and Amaya snorted.
Nux narrowed his eyes, he couldn’t contain his curiosity and finally questioned.
“What are you talking about? Why is Riona different.”
“In front of normal people, she might just be the King’s Wife, however, in truth, she holds a lot more power compared to that Idiotic King. Her influence is far higher than any of the King’s Wives. In truth, it is not wrong to say that she is the actual ruler of the Skadi Kingdom.”
