Chapter 506 She Is Such An Amazing, Cute, And Friendly Girl.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
A knock was heard and soon, the door opened.
This time, however, there was no short-haired woman standing with a smile on her face like before. This time, only silence welcomed the cloaked figure who had knocked on the door.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Well this isn't exactly a warm way to greet a guest, now is it?"
The cloaked figure spoke as she removed her cloak with a smile on her face.
The others inside that room, however, didn't seem to be in an as good mood as her.
"We captured Raguel."
Suddenly, Amaya spoke with a solemn look on her face.
"Well… that's a good news, is it not? Why do you all look so serious?"
Riona questioned with a confused look on her face.
Amaya narrowed her eyes,
"Are you just trying to be ignorant or do you truly believe that we are the fools who wouldn't realize what you did?"
Amaya questioned.
"W-What are you talking about?"
Riona stuttered, she didn't know why her daughter was acting like that.
Why was she acting so cold toward her?
Everything seemed fine yesterday, just what happened?
Seeing that she pretended to continue to act, Amaya decided to reveal everything directly,
"Raguel told us that it was you who contacted him first, not the other way around.
What do you have to say for yourself?"
"…"
Riona turned silent.
She finally realized what happened.
"What are you planning?"
Thyra questioned as she glared at Riona with a hostile look on her face.
"I am not planning anything."
Riona answered.
"Oh yeah? Then why didn't you tell us anything about it?"
Thyra questioned again.
"Was it really important?"
Riona questioned back.
"Yes, I may have manipulated him into sending that letter to me, however, I only did that because I thought it would be beneficial to you guys, and in the end, it was, right?
You achieved what you guys wanted, didn't you?
So does who contacted first matter?"
"It does."
Amaya glanced at Riona and replied,
"This deal was about trust, to be honest, we didn't even have to go through this farce, Evane would have become the next Queen anyway.
This entire farce did nothing but quicken the process.
The main objective behind all this was to know whether we could trust you or not, and with this little stunt you pulled, we got our answer."
"Are you really going to base your decision on just this!?"
Riona widened her eyes as she defended herself.
"I only did it for you guys, with how foolish this idiot was, he would have never come up with a plan like that, if you had used the law, it would have taken months before his crimes were proven, therefore, contacting him was important!
I did it all for your sake, I wasn't trying to harm any of you.
Amaya, haven't you realized it already, I am on your side, I will never do anything to harm you or anyone close to you!"
"If you did it purely for our sake, then why didn't you tell us from the start? Why did you feel the need to hide this from us?"
This time, Skyla was the one who questioned.
Riona couldn't believe that Skyla was making an expression like that, however, she didn't have the time to think about all this, the interrogative gazes of everyone in the room were tearing through her body, in the end, she glanced at Amaya and decided to be honest.
"It was not like you were willing to talk to me. I noticed that you only talk with an interested look on your face when the talk is about Nux, or anything that might be useful to Nux. I don't know what magic this man did on you, however, you are completely ensnared by him.
I was annoyed, but at the same time, I also realized that if I did something that might help Nux, then you and I can talk as much as I want.
That was the reason I prearranged all this and look at the result, knowing that this would help Evane, which would in turn help Nux, you were excited about this and after ignoring me for so many years, you finally decided to talk to me, even though it was mostly about how to carry on with the plan…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
Everyone present in the room turned silent.
Skyla, Thyra, and Edda glanced at Amaya and nodded continuously.
They completely agreed with Riona.
Amaya never talked to any of them with a straight face unless it involves Nux, for a mother who is trying to get close to her child, this experience could be heartbreaking.
Skyla even went as far as patting Riona's head and hugging her.
"You guys…"
Amaya, on the other hand, couldn't believe that the three of them turned sides so quickly.
She was completely and utterly speechless.
"I agree with Lady Riona, I have seen her trying so hard to talk to Amaya, but she never talked to her, to be honest, I feel like Lady Riona is a genius for not only manipulating the King of this country, but also manipulating the enemy into thinking that she would help them."
Skyla started fangirling again.
Thyra and Edda nodded as well.
"…"
Amaya turned silent.
She was left alone, therefore, she directly turned around and hugged Nux.
Nux hugged her back and smiled, then, he glanced at Riona and questioned.
"First, I would never understand why you think talking to Amaya is so hard, she is such an amazing, cute, and friendly girl."
A small smile appeared on Amaya's face as she enjoyed Nux's pat and closed her eyes.
The current her resembled a little cat.
Riona, Skyla, Thyra, and Edda's mouths twitched when they heard what Nux said,
'Friendly my ass.'
Thyra snorted inwardly and although Riona didn't want to say this for her own daughter, however, even she agreed that her daughter wasn't the friendliest of persons she has ever met.
"Second."
Nux, however, was not done. His main question was pending,
"What does Lord Amletus have to say about all this?"
