Chapter 927 Don't Look Down On Us.
?
"Well, we can't let you die,
You are still under ExceedoGenesis's protection.
We can't fail our mission,
We have an image to keep, after all."
Suddenly, Amaya spoke up with a small smile on her face.
"What are you talking about?" Rune frowned.
"As I said, we cannot let you die."
"This is not something you can be involved in."
"Wasn't it the same before?
We aren't the people who could get involved with the Saint Stage Cultivators either but you still chose us."
Amaya smiled.
"I was wrong, I should not ha-"
"You weren't wrong,"
Amaya replied. Then, she looked into Rune's eyes and,
"Don't look down on us."
'Amaya…'
Seeing her acting like that, Nux called out using the telepathy connection.
Amaya turned towards him and smiled,
'Trust me.'
Hearing those words, Nux just sighed.
He gave in?
Of course he gave in.
When has he ever gone against his beautiful wives?
Amaya then looked into Rune's eyes and,
"You do not have a clear plan in your mind, do you?"
"I do not."
Rune was honest.
"Use our help."
Rune tilted her head, indicating that she was listening,
"Aimlessly going around and looking for evidence won't do you any good. We will continue our plan, with you 'dead', we would see how Felix does.
If he was simply planning to use Skythorn Falcon City's help just to become the next successor, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble and neither would have the Skythorn Falcon City helped him.
So his target must be the City Lord, Lord Oberon."
Amaya spoke up.
"What if the Skythorn Falcon City wants to play the long game, wait till Father dies of old age, and make a move when Felix becomes the Lord."
"That is too impractical, by then, Lord Felix would have already become a Divine Stage Cultivator, he would have no reason to listen to the Skythorn Falcon City anymore. The Falcon City won't take that risk."
Amaya shook her head.
"…" Rune turned silent.
"As I was saying, his target must be Lord Oberon.
And to do that, I think he would need to become the successor, that is the only reason he and the Skythorn Falcon City would go so far.
With you dead, I am sure Lord Felix has a plan from stopping Lord Oberon to get Ancestral Order involved, obviously, he would have to come up with some sort of 'stories' to do that and support his reasonings,
He cannot just 'abandon' his own sister, after all. He has to be the 'good person' here even if he has most of the political power on his side.
However, once it is revealed that you are actually 'alive', whatever 'story' he comes up with would turn bogus.
It would directly reduce Felix's credibility and yours would shoot up.
The succession battle would come to a halt for a while, you can use that chance to talk to Lord Oberon, you can even tell him how you were surrounded by assassins from the Skythorn Falcon City and barely managed to escape. With your increased credibility, even if Lord Oberon doesn't completely trust you, he would definitely look into Felix.
Once that happens, I am sure he would definitely find something."
Amaya explained her plan.
"That… might actually work…" Rune spoke after thinking about it for a while.
"It is much better than doing everything on your own accord and with our help, the chances of the plan succeeding would only increase."
Amaya replied.
"..but why are you going as far as risking your lives for me?"
Rune questioned with a frown on her face.
"Huh? Who said we are risking our lives for your sake?" Amaya tilted her head in confusion.
Rune frowned, but then,
"Lady Rune, let me make this clear right here, we would help you throughout the plan, however, the moment we think that this is getting dangerous, we would simply escape and leave you on your own. Our lives will be our priority in this mission."
Amaya spoke honestly.
Rune looked into her eyes for a while, then, she glanced at Nux, the leader of the clan.
"What can I say, my lovely vice leader has already decided, as a husband, my job is to help in every way possible."
Nux shrugged.
A small smile appeared on Amaya's face.
Rune observed that smile for a while and then,
"Alright.
I will be under your care for a little longer."
She spoke.
"You can stay with us for as long as you want, Lady Rune.
You are a feast to the eyes."
Nux spoke with a playful smile on his face.
"I shall go back to my room."
Rune, as usual, simply ignored his words and stood up.
Once she left, only Nux and his wives were inside the Hall. Astaria then glanced at Melia and,
"Melia, you were strangely silent today." She commented.
"I was wondering the same thing." Felberta nodded.
Amaya was looking at Melia as well. She could tell that Melia was hesitating.
"You can speak freely, Melia. They are all your sisters."
Nux chuckled.
Melia glanced at him and then the others, then,
"Do we… really have to help her?"
She questioned with an uncertain look on her face.
"What we gain out of this is not comparable to the risks…
Divine Stage Cultivators are different, you all have seen Mother in action, haven't you?"
Melia spoke, reminding them of the time when they hunted the Star Beasts.
"With our current strength, involving ourselves in the battle of Divine Stage Cultivators is not different than suicide.
Even if we manage to run away, the aftereffects won't be small.
The influence a Divine Stage has isn't something to scoff at.
Not to mention that these Divine Stage Cultivators are close to where our Base is located. Their influence would be even stronger and it will only be more troublesome in the future."
Melia voiced her concerns.
"You are not wrong."
Amaya answered.
"The risk and reward don't match,"
Then, she glanced at Nux and,
"But if we back out, it would affect the 'chance'."
"Chance?" Melia frowned.
Amaya, however, just smiled.
Suddenly, Skyla stood up, walked towards Nux and after kissing his lips, she waved her hand,
"You can leave now.
We have to discuss some important things."
"Are you kicking me out?" Nux pouted.
"Yes."
Skyla replied with a big smile on her face.
It was time for the new Sister's 'Introduction'.
