Chapter 1336 My answer is no
1336 My answer is no
"W-What happened here!?"
A panicked shout was heard as the Head Soldier rushed into the room and was horrified to see the soldier's dead body inside Consort Amaya's room.
He turned towards the only woman who could answer his question, contrary to his panicked look, however, the woman seemed calm and replied in a soft tone, "He tried to approach me and was devoured by my curse."
"What!?" The Head Soldier shouted in shock.
"He was devoured by my Curse," Amaya repeated her answer without any change in her expression.
"How is that possible!? He was a Cultivator! While you are only a Mortal!"
Amaya shrugged at his outburst,
"If I had answers to your questions, I would have already controlled this power."
She then looked into the man's eyes and,
"I do not know how this curse works. I have no control over it."
Looking into her eyes, the Head Guard flinched as he stepped back. By now, the King, who had heard the report about what happened made an appearance.
Amaya looked into the man's eyes and didn't say anything. Seeing that, Ricardus narrowed his eyes, "I see you still have not changed your habit of not greeting me."
"..."
Again, Amaya stayed silent.
Ricardus's face twitched in annoyance, then looking at the dead body of his soldier, he narrowed his eyes.
"Did you do it?"
"You think I can do it on my own?" Amaya replied.
"Then how did this happen?"
"Did you not hear the reports?"
"..."
Once again, Ricardus turned silent.
It wasn't the first time a woman hated him to his core, rather, most women he had been with hated him to the core, however, because of his strength and influence, they had no choice but to give him the thing they cherished for their entire lives.
Ricardus always loved to see the broken expressions on their faces as he marked them as his personnel trophies, sullying them forever and then throwing them away like used goods. This feeling of control over the lives of the women who hate him from the bottom of their hearts filled him with an inexplicable amount of glee.
Honestly, he wanted nothing more than to see such an expression on this extremely beautiful woman's face as well.
It happened when that woman gave him the offer.
Considering how beautiful that woman herself was, Ricardus could guess how beautiful the woman who inherited even half of her beauty would be. However, the moment he saw Amaya, he blinked in surprise.
Half of her beauty his ass, the girl had inherited all her mother's beauty, heck, she was even a level above. The girl simply took the position of the most beautiful girl he had seen in his entire life.
That was the day Ricardus had sworn to mark this girl, just like all his other trophies.
Things, however, weren't so simple, the girl was cursed.
And while he believed the curse would soon wither away or be weakened, the darn thing continued to get stronger and stronger. No matter how much he tried, he just couldn't find a way to get rid of it.
In the end, his patience ran out and the moment Amaya turned 18, with her features maturing and her beauty rising to another level, he decided to make his move.
This was the reason why he sent his man, he wanted to see just how strong the curse actually was and what would happen if a man touched this woman.
The results however... were much more horrifying than what he was expecting... Making him gulp in fear.
"Call a Master Stage Cultivator."
Suddenly, Ricardus ordered. His soldiers could tell what the man was thinking, however, knowing that there was nothing they could do in this situation, another cultivator was called. The results, however, were the same, the moment the man approached Amaya, he was devoured.
Grand Master and Experts were then called as well... however, to everyone's horror, they were devoured as well.
Ricardus gulped in fear.
In an instant, he abandoned the idea of claiming this woman. There was no need to risk his own life for just a slightly more shiny trophy. Thinking about it, he left the woman's room and soon, Amaya was left alone in her room.
Of course, she wasn't surprised.
She just closed her eyes and continued comprehending her Path.
More and more time passed and soon, something that Amaya didn't expect happened.
"Holy fuck, you are beautiful."
While she was trying to keep everything to herself, she met the person she wanted to avoid at all costs.
Nux, who was sneaking around in the Royal Castle, found her, and just like one would expect from his shameless self, he started walking towards him.
"You must be Amaya Skyfall, Allura told me about you."
Hearing those words, Amaya snorted inwardly.
'So you met that bitch.'
Outwardly, however, she kept a strict front,
"My answer is no."
She rejected firmly.
Nux tilted his head in confusion,
"What...?"
"You came here to ask me out, correct? My answer is no."
Amaya repeated.
All of this was an illusion, yes. However, Nux was still a man she loved with her entire being, staying in his presence while keeping this cold front was extremely difficult, so she wanted the man to go as quickly as possible.
Of course, with her emotions all in a mess, she couldn't exactly come up with the best plan and her plan backfired, "How did you know I was here to ask you out? I could be here because I might know the solution for your 'curse', no?" Nux spoke with a playful smile on his face.
But then,
"Nux Leander."
Amaya called out, surprising Nux, who had no idea how this woman knew his name, "Leave. I do not want you near me, I am excusing you because this is the first mistake you have made, do not force me to reveal your existence and the little dwindling you are doing with that Allura, to Ricardus. He wouldn't let you live and the current you isn't nearly strong enough to deal with him."
Amaya threatened and this time, she didn't stop there either. As someone who knew Nux and how his mind worked, making him do what she wanted was not difficult for her.
"And don't forget, once Ricardus knows, Allura, Edda, Felberta, Skyla, or Lane... no one would be safe."
Amaya spoke and in an instant, Nux's eyes widened in horror.
