“Colluding with other Kingdom is a Crime that can only be punished with a death sentence, Raguel cannot be allowed to get away from this.”
Evane commented with a cold look on her face.
“H-H-How dare you! Your Majesty! There is no way the First Prince would do something like this knowing full well how dire the consequences are, especially when Lady Astaria is out!
This Girl is lyin- UgghKkhhhKkhhhkkk!”
Gibson wanted to continue, however, suddenly, Nux appeared in front of him and grabbed his neck, and lifted him in the air.
Everyone present inside the hall widened their eyes in shock.
No one could react to Nux’s movements.
Even the King Stage Cultivators like the King, Keeve, and Reeve, they all just stood there, just like all others, and only realized what happened once Nux was already holding Gibson in his arms.
W-What if he had attacked me?
The same question appeared in everyone’s mind.
The Shadow Unit and the King perspired.
Only after an entire minute passed by did Keeve finally manage to regain his composure and stepped up.
“What are you doing?”
He questioned with a cold look on his face.
Nux turned his head towards Keeve, his Golden eyes were now locked onto Keeve, Keeve felt his entire body tremble, he took another 10 seconds to get used to Nux’s gaze, and only after that did he finally react.
“T-T-This is the Royal H-Hall… do you think this is the place you c-can run amok?”
Keeve questioned, however, his authoritative tone, which he tried so hard to keep was nowhere to be seen. It looked like rather than confronting Nux, he wanted nothing more than just to run away.
Nobody in the Hall blamed him either.
With just one move, Nux has proved that if he wanted, he could get rid of anyone in this room and no one could do anything to stop him.
‘J-Just where did she find that monster?’
Everyone wondered as they glanced at Evane.
Evane didn’t show any change in her expression, she just glanced at Keeve and replied,
“I apologize for his rude actions, he is a little sensitive after what happened.
After being attacked by Raguel and 3 King Stage Cultivators and barely making it out alive, someone tries to say that everything is a lie, even after you showed all the proof, it is only natural that one would be annoyed.”
Evane then turned towards Gibson, who was still trying his best to get out of Nux’s hold, however, couldn’t do anything to overpower him.
“I only want to ask one thing, if what I am saying is a lie, then how come Cyneheard is lying there, dead? Are you saying that Raguel isn’t involved but only Cyneheard is?”
Suddenly, a cold smile appeared on Evane’s face,
“Because if that is the case, then not only him, the entire Fulvanius Family would be executed.”
Gibson’s eyes widened in surprise.
Nux then loosened his grip and lightly threw him away.
“*Cough* *Cough* *Cough*”
Gibson grabbed his neck and coughed continuously.
At the same time, his entire body perspired in worry and fear.
He was trapped, with Cyneheard’s body lying there, there is nothing he could do to save the situation.
“Or are you saying that I attacked the Fulvanius Duke House in the Middle of the Night and killed Cyneheard?”
Hearing her words, Gibson’s eyes widened in surprise and then he jumped onto the chance he saw,
“Yes, that is it! You must be desperate to become the next Ruler, therefore, you directly attacked the Duke House, trying to kill the First Prince, father must have tried to protect him and using this chance, Raguel must have run away, that is why you are here, trying to cover your mistake, blame everything on the First Prince and trying to use the King to get rid of him.”
Hearing his words, Evane’s smile turned into a sneer,
“What do you have to say about this King Stage Cultivator? The one from the Skadi Kingdom? Why is he here?
Raguel couldn’t have possibly run away if 2 King Stage Cultivators attacked him.”
Suddenly, Evane pointed at Nux, and continued,
“Also, let’s be honest here, if he wants, he can get rid of any King Stage Cultivator present here in just one move, there is no way Cyneheard could have fought both me and him and the same time.
Then it must mean this King Stage Cultivator helped him, and if a Skadi Kingdom’s King Stage Cultivator is helping the Fulvanius House,
Then we need to do a serious background check, no matter if I attacked Raguel or Raguel attacked me.”
Evane spoke and Gibson finally realized that he has fallen into a trap set by Evane.
He glanced at Evane, with his eyes burning with anger, Evane just looked at him with an expressionless look on her face.
Another second later, she just turned around, completely ignoring him, and looked at the King,
“Please send a few of your men to catch Raguel.”
She repeated her request.
The King’s expression turned serious.
There were many questions in his mind, however, right now, the blame placed on the Fulvanius Duke House and Raguel was too serious, he couldn’t waste more time on this.
He will investigate this entire incident on his own, however, right now, catching Raguel was the priority.
“Keeve.”
The King called out.
“Yes, your Majesty.”
Keeve bowed respectfully.
“Send a few men to catch the First Prince.”
“As you command, your majesty.”
The King nodded and then turned towards Reeve,
“Investigate this entire incident.”
Reeve nodded.
“As you command, your majesty.”
The King then turned towards the rest and ordered,
“The content of this discussion must remain confidential until further notice.”
“”As you command, your Majesty.””
Everyone bowed.
“Leave.”
The King ordered and everyone walked away.
The only ones left inside the Hall were the King and Reeve,
“Should I inform Lady Astaria?”
Reeve questioned.
“The Skadis are involved, we have to inform her.”
The King replied and at the same time, he gulped in fear when he imagined how pissed Astaria would be.
