Chapter 478 She Can Act Out As Much As She Wants.
"Yes, I don't know the details, but Lord Amletus said that let alone us, even if he himself went into the Forbidden Region,
He wasn't 100% certain about returning alive."
Riona spoke with a serious look on her face and hearing her words, Nux and his women turned silent.
"A 7 Star beast…"
Nux narrowed his eyes and commented.
"Most probably, and as you know, Beasts of the same level are stronger than the humans… that is the reason why even he is uncertain."
Thyra nodded.
Riona, however, shook her head.
"I thought about the same thing, but Lord Amletus didn't reply, I don't know if it is true or not."
Nux frowned,
"Why is he keeping this a secret?"
"Well, he did warn me, didn't he?"
Riona replied.
"This doesn't feel right."
Nux commented.
Riona just chuckled, "I was thinking the same when I heard about all this, however, since there was no other way to deal with my curiosity, I had to just bear with it."
"Something is wrong, I feel like this is something I should know."
Suddenly, Nux spoke.
"Lord Amletus won't say anything, no matter what I or you say to him." Riona shook her head.
"Heh, he is not the only Emperor Stage Cultivator in this world, is he?"
Nux chuckled.
"I'll just ask Lady Astaria, I am sure she will answer my questions."
A smile appeared on Nux's face.
"Hmmm, she should know about this as well."
Riona nodded, however, suddenly, she paused.
"Wait."
"Hmm? What?"
"You are close to Astaria Skyfall?"
Riona questioned with a surprised look on her face.
"Hmm, well not exactly close, we only met 2 times after she came out of that stupid room of hers, and she attacked me the first time. Well, it wasn't really an attack, she was testing me and it seems that I passed whatever her test was.
The second meeting was a lot better though."
Nux replied.
"You passed her test?" Riona frowned.
"What? You know something about this test?"
Seeing her look, Nux got curious.
"No, I just… for you to meet her 2 times within just a month, that is very surprising. Emperors don't really like to meet people.
And… you seem confident that you can meet her the third time."
Riona spoke with a strange expression on her face.
"Oh don't worry, I am sure I'll meet her again, it is not that hard."
"…"
Riona didn't reply.
Nux didn't pursue the matter either.
On the other hand, Amaya, who was looking at the two of them from afar shook her head and sighed.
'If only you knew that not only does he plan to meet that woman again, he was even preparing to make her fall in love with him…'
Amaya then looked at her clock and soon, a smile appeared on her face,
"Alright, this is enough."
She spoke.
Everyone turned towards her.
"What happened?" Nux questioned.
"Time is up, it has already been an hour, it is time for you to go."
Amaya spoke to Riona.
Riona frowned, she then took out her own watch and looked at the time there.
"…"
She turned silent.
One hour had indeed passed.
"Everything in the Palace might get suspicious, you should leave."
Amaya spoke.
"You look oddly happy for some reason, do… do you really hate me that much?" Riona questioned with a strange look on her face.
"The people in the palace would get suspicious, don't waste more time."
Amaya didn't reply and repeated her own sentence.
A small sigh escaped Riona's mouth, in the end, she smiled wryly and turned around.
However, just as she was about to walk out of the mansion,
"I do not hate you."
Amaya spoke.
With a big smile on her face, Riona turned around, however, no matter where she looked, she failed to find Amaya.
"Fufufu~ I didn't know Amaya was the shy type, for her to disappear right after she said those words… I am seeing a new side…"
Nux chuckled.
He then turned towards Riona and smiled,
"I think whatever you doing is working, just be patient.
Let her act out a little more."
"She can act out as much as she wants."
Riona spoke with an incredibly beautiful smile on her face and walked out of the mansion.
'Her smile really is beautiful…'
Nux thought in his mind and suddenly, someone pinched his waist.
"Oww!"
He cried in pain.
Turning around, he saw Amaya standing next to him and glaring at him.
"Don't you dare."
She warned for the umpteenth time.
"I didn't even do anything!"
Nux complained.
The other women chuckled.
…
On the other hand,
Amaya, who had just walked out of Nux's mansion turned serious. She then rushed towards the Royal Palace with all her might, a few minutes later, she appeared in front of the Palace and walked in.
Then, she entered her room, where a man was already waiting for her.
"Lady Riona."
Kelton greeted.
"Tell me everything you know about that boy named Nux."
Riona ordered.
Kelton frowned.
Riona, however, didn't explain herself, Kelton sighed, and then, he started talking about what he knew.
Knowing that his master was now in a relationship with someone, he was curious and started looking around immediately, therefore, his memory was quite fresh.
Kelton's report ended within 5 minutes, to be honest, he couldn't find anything much about the man named Nux Leander.
In his report, Nux was a meek man who barely managed to earn enough to eat a meal in a day. There was nothing special about him other than his appearance, soon, he was scouted by a Merchant who sold him to a noble named Felberta Alveye.
After that, Nux… disappeared.
There was no further information about him.
Hearing his report, Riona frowned.
The man in the report and the man she just met didn't match each other.
"I believe Lady Amaya has some hand in tempering the information about this man," Kelton spoke.
Hearing her daughter's name, a smile appeared on Riona's face,
"Heh, she is very overprotective about him. Fufufu~ So cute~"
Kelton didn't say anything.
"Alright, don't look, it is useless if Amaya was the one who tempered that man's information.
I want you to investigate something else."
"At your command, Lady Riona."
"Find out all the people Astaria Skyfall has met after coming out of her seclusion."
