"So that was why he was so confident about assassinating Lady Rune…"
Amaya spoke with a solemn look on her face.
"Indeed, he had their help. If it is them, then this wouldn't be very difficult if they manage to surround Lady Rune." Nux nodded.
"…"
Rune didn't say anything, however, from her expression, it was clear that she was seriously contemplating something.
"I don't get it…
Why would he go so far…?"
Felberta questioned with a frown on her face.
"Power can make you do many things," Evane spoke as she narrowed her eyes. Recalling some memories, she would rather not recall.
This situation was just too similar to her own.
Or that was what she thought...
However,
"This is different."
Amaya shook her head.
She looked into Evane's eyes and,
"This is different than your situation.
Your brother had no choice but to contact other another Kingdom, you were stronger than him, your potential was proven to be better than his, you had more support, and there was no way for him to sit on the Throne, and even then, it was us who enticed him first and made him scheme with another Kingdom, it was not a simple decision on his part.
Felix, on the other hand, is different.
He may be weaker than Lady Rune right now, his potential however, is similar to hers, in the long run, the advantage Lady Rune has shouldn't matter, it all boils down to political strength, which, with Aragorn's help, Felix had an insane advantage in.
Even if Lady Rune had a better public image, it isn't like Felix's image is bad, he just hasn't focused on his public image, however, there are no catkins who hate him.
In the battle to become the successor, Felix had an absolute advantage.
There was no reason for him to contact the Skythorn Falcon City, an enemy City of Feline Cat City. Not to mention how it is risky to the point he would get executed if the word ever gets out."
Amaya spoke with a frown on her face.
Yes, this was the lead Nux found 2 days ago when he followed Felix.
The person Felix met and passed Rune's finger to was none other than the Falconkin. Nux was quite shocked to see it and decided to follow the Falconkin.
Just like Felix, the Falconkin was a Saint Stage Cultivator as well, honestly, with how fast the Falconkin was flying back to his city, if Nux hadn't recently become a Great Sage, and had unlocked Absolute Step that allowed him to move in the air as comfortably as he moved on the ground, he wouldn't have been able to follow his movement.
And even with his abilities, he had to give his all just so he could keep up with the Falconkin's average, leisurely speed. Sometimes, he was even forced to turn into Vampire and turn into a Bat just so he could catch up with the Falconkin.
Honestly, chasing that bastard for 2 whole days was tiring. So tiring that rather than returning back through normal means, Nux simply used Harem's Gate.
Anyways, once he returned and talked about the Falconkin and the City he had walked into, that was when Rune realized it.
Felix…
That stupid brother of hers had decided to ally himself with Feline Cat City's biggest enemy, the Skythorn Falcon City.
The two Beastmen City absolutely hated each other, it was to the point where even small contact with another city would get all the parties involved executed.
And now…
The son of Feline Cat City's Lord had allied himself with those people!?
Just what in the hell was Felix thinking!?
Rune couldn't understand.
Amaya was the same, with a deep frown on her face, she contemplated why Felix would do something so foolish.
However, no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't find anything. The information she had was just too limited. She knew next to nothing about Felix and his behavior.
In the end, the only way she could come up with any answers was Rune.
She was the only one who knew about her brother the most, after all.
Rune noticed that all the people in the hall were looking at her, she observed them for a while, and then,
"You were involved in this mess because of me, I apologize."
She bowed her head.
This was a lot more complicated than a simple successor battle.
If the Skythorn Falcon City was involved in it as well, then it could very well lead to a battle between 2 Divine Stage Cultivators.
No matter how strong and peculiar Nux's abilities were, this was not something he could get involved in.
Even Saint Stage Cultivators were too much for the current him…
The Divine Stage…
This was way out of his league…
"…"
That was the reason that rather than countering Rune's apology and trying to flirt with her, Nux was currently silent.
He may look arrogant and reckless,
However, he usually calculates all the risks before making any moves. When he feels that he was getting into something he shouldn't get involved in, he steps aside.
And this was one of those situations.
His favorability with Rune might drag down, however, for the safety of his wives…
"This isn't something your Clan should be involved in, I appreciate your help so far, however, I believe it is time that I start distancing myself from you all."
Rune, who knew perfectly well how big of a mess this has turned into spoke.
"What are you going to do now…?"
Thyra questioned with a worried look on her face.
"How about you talk with your father, this isn't a situation that your father would ignore." She suggested.
"That is the plan."
Rune nodded her head.
"However, before contacting father, I need some concrete evidence to support my clan, Father wouldn't believe me otherwise."
"How are you going to gather evidence?"
Thyra couldn't help but question.
"I don't know. I might have to be a little reckless and search Felix's room."
"That is too dangerous," Thyra replied.
"Well,"
Rune just smiled.
"The worse that can happen is that I will die."
"…"
Thyra and the others were taken aback.
Nux clenched his fists.
He was considering calling in a favor and asking for Bloodheart's help, but honestly, that was a foolish move. The Favor with the Bloodheart Family could be used in the future when he or his wives are in trouble, using the favor on someone who he barely knows…
"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.
