The General of the Woods Dynasty.
That fucking monster who killed thousands and led ten thousands,
Just how in the hell did this boy manage to marry someone like her!?
Phorus couldn't understand.
"You really weren't lying when you said you would surprise me…"
After a long while, Astaria commented.
Nux glanced at the woman in front of him and smiled.
"I never lie.
Never."
Seeing that he was focusing on the word 'never' a lot, a frown appeared on Astaria's face.
He wanted to say something, she understood that, but what was he trying to say?
Astaria started wondering.
Soon, her cheeks turned a little red and a flustered expression appeared on her face.
Of course, it only appeared for a second before it was replaced by her normal expression, however, that little second was enough for Nux to understand that she understood his message and he smiled playfully.
Astaria understood what was going on inside his mind, therefore, she decided to change the topic and glanced at his woman again.
"I see a lot of familiar faces here…
Some of the dead ones are there as well."
Astaria commented as she looked at Amaya.
Amaya smiled, however, unlike Nux, she didn't receive Astaria's smile back, Astaria only looked at her with an expressionless look on her face before looking back at Nux, her expression demanded an explanation.
"What? Everything is fair in love and war."
Nux only had a simple answer.
Hearing his answer, Astaria's mouth twitched.
"First, you have the audacity to go after the King's Wife, the Royal Consort, then, you plan their 'death' and 'kidnapping' so they could stay with you, then you go after the King's daughter, the Princess of this Kingdom, help her become the Queen, appearing as a Queen's husband with a harem of his own, then you introduced the previous King's wives as your own wives,"
Astaria then narrowed her eyes.
"Aren't you taking the Skyfall Kingdom too lightly?"
An expression similar to the one she had the first time Nux met her appeared on Astaria's face and again, she used her Aura to try and suppress Nux.
This time, however, Nux wasn't intimidated,
"He didn't deserve them."
His answer was simple. He didn't even try to explain himself.
"Also, I am not the one who is taking the Skyfall Kingdom too lightly, it is you guys."
"Huh?"
A frown appeared on Astaria's face.
"To make someone like Ricardus the King of this Kingdom, the one who is not only lusting after new women every day, but is even incompetent when it comes managing the Kingdom,
Are the standards of the Skyfall Kingdom so low?
Are you telling me that a competent Queen who is a King Stage Cultivator when she is just 80 years old and is part of a harem where the bests of the best women, all excelling in their respective fields like Strategizing, Assassinations, and War, are gathered, is more harmful to a Kingdom's dignity than an incompetent and womanizing trash ruling over the bests experts there are?"
"…"
Astaria and the others turned silent.
General Phorus narrowed his eyes and started thinking, although he didn't like this boy one bit, what he was saying wasn't incorrect at all. Ricardus didn't deserve to be the King.
Also, although the Queen was a part of a Harem, the fact that this was possibly the most elite Harem in this world couldn't be ignored.
He knew about Ember Windstar, a General that even he wanted to avoid.
Amaya Skyfall, a woman who troubled so many nobles, even the Ministers of the Royal Palace, when she didn't even leave her room,
Although he doesn't know about other women, the fact that almost all of them are less than 100 years old and are already King Stage Cultivators was not something anyone could scoff at.
Then there is that man…
The man who gathered all these amazing women into one group, the Man of the Harem, the man who single-handedly played with all the ministers, the King, and the so-called elite shadow Unit, the man who could smile playfully and act so carelessly when he is standing in front of Astaria Skyfall, the strongest being in the world…
This man couldn't possibly be normal.
In truth, this entire group was full of freaks never seen before,
The Queen of this Being part of this elite group…
It was…
Not bad…
Maybe the others had the same thought process, many people started looking at Nux in a different light.
Of course, not all of them were convinced, however, Nux didn't have to convince all of them.
As long as the Majority supports him, he could always use force to settle the minority.
Hehe, politics 101.
Cough Cough; Ignore me :)
Nux then glanced at Astaria and a rare, earnest expression appeared on his face,
"Trust me, Evane will be a lot better Ruler than Ricardus could ever be,"
Astaria narrowed her eyes and questioned,
"Will it be Evane, or you?"
This was the main question.
The other King Stage Cultivators present here narrowed their eyes as well.
Evane was part of Elite Harem, she was amazing and all that was fine, however, who will actually rule the Kingdom?
Will it be Evane?
Or will she just be a puppet used by him to rule the Kingdom?
The probability of the latter was a lot higher, no, in truth, the probability of the latter not happening was close to zero.
"Aren't you there to keep a check on that?"
A small smile appeared on Nux's face.
"Let's say I 'use' Evane for my own benefits and start ruling the Kingdom from behind the scenes, doing whatever the hell I want,
Do you think I have the ability to hide all this from your eyes?
Do you think I have what it takes to go against you?"
General Phorus's and others' eyes shined in enlightenment, Nux was right, if he tries to take over the Kingdom, he would have to face Lady Astaria, that is simply not possible.
Astaria, however, wasn't convinced yet,
"You may not have the ability to go against me right now, but the same can't be said about the future, what about the time you surpass me? Who would keep their eyes on you then?"
Hearing her question, General Phorus, Iria, Reeve, Keeve, and the other King Stage Cultivators widened their eyes in disbelief.
D-Did Lady Astaria just say that this man would surpass her, the strongest being in the world!?
