“T-T-This is the Devouring Mist!”
Amletus couldn’t control himself and shouted out loud.
Seeing his reaction, Amaya just smiled and continued to observe him.
With a glint in his eyes, Amletus glanced at Amaya and spoke,
“You really did manage to find a way to cultivate your Physique and even became a King Stage Cultivator, that’s a big achievement.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
“So? Where is the Technique?”
Amletus couldn’t control himself and questioned.
“Grandpa.” Amaya called out.
“Yes?”
“Now that we finally attained the way to cultivate our physique, this would definitely increase our Kingdom’s strength, right?”
Amaya questioned.
“Hahaha~ Of course! Of course, it will! And it will all be because of you. Hahaha~ I have an amazing Granddaughter.”
Amletus laughed out loud.
“Do you think we would become the Strongest Kingdom in the world?
Do you think we would have the power to unify the continent under our banner?”
Amaya questioned.
“Huh?”
Amletus frowned.
He glanced at Amaya and seeing her looking at him with an excited smile on her face, he didn’t know how to react,
“Becoming the strongest huh…”
He muttered.
“Hmm? Grandpa?” Amaya frowned.
“Hmm?”
“Why does it look like you do not think that we can become the strongest?” Amaya questioned.
“It is not like that.”
Amletus shook his head.
“What is it then?” Amaya questioned.
“We cannot unite the other Kingdoms under our banner,” Amletus replied.
Hearing his answer, Amaya frowned.
“Why?” She questioned.
“Our ancestor didn’t wish for it. He told us not to unite the continent.” Amletus replied.
“But if we are stronger than all the Kingdoms, isn’t it natural that we should hold the absolute power?” Amaya questioned.
“We do not hold absolute power, Amaya.”
“What does that mean? Who holds it then? Is it the Skyfall Kingdom?”
“Heh. Those Idiots? They aren’t even close to that level.” Amletus snorted.
“Then who is it?” Amaya questioned.
Amletus glanced at Amaya again and frowned,
“Why are you asking all this?”
“I want us to be the best after all, and if I don’t even know who is currently the best, how will I set a goal for myself?” Amaya replied.
“…”
Amletus turned silent.
After thinking for a while, he spoke,
“You know about the Forbidden Region?”
“Huh?” Amaya frowned.
Amletus then told her about the Mythical Creature and hearing that, Amaya frowned.
‘Is he not involved in Herms’s plot?’ Amaya questioned inwardly.
However, soon, she shook her head,
‘That is not possible. There must be something else.’
“So you are saying that we cannot unite the continent because the Mythical Creature might Kill all the Emperors if we attempt it?” Amaya questioned.
“Yes, that is correct.” Amletus nodded.
“Then why is the Solid Earth Kingdom attacking Woods Dynasty then?” Amaya questioned.
Amletus narrowed his eyes.
Amaya, however, didn’t back down and continued to question,
“If the Emperors are not going to be involved, then why even fight? It is not like anything could be done without defeating the strongest person in the Dynasty.”
“I don’t know what he is thinking,” Amletus replied.
“And you haven’t tried to look into it?” Amaya questioned.
“As I said, I, as an Emperor Stage Cultivator, cannot involve myself with these affairs.”
“It is not like I am telling you to attack them or anything, I am just asking why you haven’t investigated it?” Amaya spoke.
“…” Amletus didn’t know how to answer that question.
He glanced at Riona and noticed that she had a strange look on her face as well.
It was as if she was confused about something.
He understood what she was thinking.
She has been telling him that Solid Earth Kingdom has been acting weirdly for a while now, however, he always told her not to involve herself with it, however, now that Amaya is asking all these questions, his actions definitely look suspicious.
Riona suddenly glanced at Amletus and seeing her expression, Amletus realized that he was right.
Riona was indeed thinking that his actions were suspicious.
“Amaya,” Amletus called out.
“Yes, Grandfather?” Amaya tilted her head innocently.
“As I said, due to the Mythical Creature, we cannot do anything, therefore, looking out for other Kingdoms is simply a waste of time. That is the reason why I am not doing anything.”
Amletus spoke. This time, his tone was stricter than before.
“The Solid Earth Army has been defeated.”
Suddenly, Amaya spoke up.
Amletus narrowed his eyes and Amaya continued,
“The Skyfall Kingdom helped the Woods Dynasty and the Solid Earth Army suffered huge losses. 4 out of 7 of their Generals have died.”
“Why are you telling me all this?” Amletus questioned.
“I am just confused. Why did the Skyfall Kingdom help the Woods Dynasty? They could simply let them fight and then reap rewards later, then why bother? What do they get in return?” Amaya spoke up.
“Amaya.” Amletus called.
“Hmm?” A frown appeared on Amaya’s face.
The atmosphere inside the room had changed.
Right now, Amletus was not looking at her with that amiable smile on his face, his expression was rather dark.
“You were married to Ricardus, the King of the Skyfall Kingdom, correct?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
“From what I know, the Skyfall Kingdom is under a strict lockdown where no one is allowed to leave or enter the Kingdom,
Then how did you come here?”
“I am a King Stage Cultivator, Grandpa.” Amaya replied.
“That you are, however, at the same time, you are also a Royal Consort, there is no way you can simply sneak out of the Palace.” Amletus narrowed his eyes.
“Not only that, but you are now a King Stage Cultivator, a young King Stage Cultivator coming back to the Kingdom that abandoned her,
Something doesn’t add up.”
Amletus then glanced at Riona to ask for her view, however, suddenly, another possibility entered his mind.
His expression changed.
The more he thought about this possibility, the higher the probability of it being the truth got.
Amletus finally realized.
He was being treated like a fool.
“You two are in this together, aren’t you?”
He questioned and Amaya’s expression changed.
