454 First, l want you to answer my question. "What if I become the Ruler of this Kingdom? That would solve all the problems, won't it?" Evane glanced at Nux and questioned with a curious look on her face. Nux sat up and looking into Evane's eyes, he nodded, "That would be the most ideal outcome, it was also my initial plan, however, since you didn't seem very willing to be the Ruler, I didn't force you." "Don't worry, I will become the next Ruler, no, I want to become the next Ruler, help me become one." Evane spoke with a solemn look on her face. Nux narrowed his eyes, "Why do you want to become the next Ruler?" "I want to know why everyone craves it so much." Evane answered. "Huh?" Nux frowned. That was… a strange reason. "If someone is willing to kill his own brother or sister for this thing, there has to be something very very very amazing about this throne, right? I want to know what it is. I want to know what am I missing all these years." Nux shook his head, "There is nothing interesting about it, you are saying this because of Lovis and you kn-." "Me becoming the next Ruler is a much better plan than you becoming one." Evane interrupted Nux and spoke. "I have the Skyfall Blood running in my veins, Nux. You, do not. If you become the King, you would have to go against Astaria Skyfall, the strongest being in this world. The plan you currently have is too complicated and depends on many things for its success. It has too many inconsistencies, it is not a good plan." "…" Nux turned silent. Evane wasn't wrong, even though it was Amaya who came up with a plan, there were only so many ways to deal with an Emperor Stage Cultivator. Even someone like Amaya couldn't come up with something that is will definitely succeed. "Nux." Suddenly, Evane called out. "Just make me the next ruler, I will be fine, don't worry." "Are you sure?" Nux narrowed his eyes. "What could possibly go on? Plus, don't I have you with me? There is also Sister Amaya, if I fail to manage anything, I am sure she will help me." "…" Nux fell into deep thought. "It will be much more convenient, Nux." Evane spoke again. Nux glanced at her, and then, he nodded. "Alright then." After thinking about this for a while, Nux agreed. "Get ready to rule this kingdom, Queen Evane." Evane smiled. Nux smiled as well. It was not like he was going anywhere, he would be here to help Evane. Plus, just like Evane said, it would be a lot more convenient than him becoming the next King. 'Are you awake?' Suddenly, Nux heard a voice. 'What happened?' Nux questioned back. 'Come here. I need to talk.' Nux glanced at Evane, she looked at him and smiled, "Let's go, shall we?" "What about that idiot outside?" Nux questioned back. "What? Should I knock him out?" Evane chuckled. "There are chances that Astaria is keeping an eye on us." "Heh, the all-powerful Emperor shouldn't be that free." "Whatever." Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Nux shrugged as well. Activating his [Conceal], he walked out of the room and knocked out Reeve, who was keeping an eye on his room. Since the man wasn't peeking inside the room, Nux decided to go easy on him and was a little gentle. Nux then returned, Evane smiled, she activated [Conceal] as well, and then, they left the Royal Palace. A few minutes later, Nux and Evane were inside the Skyfall Academy, sitting inside Nux's room. Nux's other wives were here as well. "So? How was your meeting with the strongest being in the world?" Amaya questioned with a small smile on her face, at the same time, she walked towards Nux and hugged him, Nux didn't reject, he hugged back and stuck to him like a koala. Seeing this, the others frowned, Skyla acted the fasted and rushed towards Nux as well. Soon, Nux was surrounded by his beautiful wives. 'Heh. Heaven indeed.' Nux smiled inwardly. 'I need to make a big bed so that I can sleep with all of them.' A random thought appeared in his mind. A thought Edda would definitely like. "It was not as bad as I thought it would be." Nux replied to Amaya's question. "Do you think you can defeat her?" Ember questioned. "Of course not. If she and I fought, I will be defeated in a single move." Nux answered without hesitation. "…" Ember turned silent. That is not something you say so proudly. She spoke inside her mind. Thyra had the same thought. "What if all of us attack her together?" Suddenly, Felberta questioned. Except for Evane, all of them were King Stage Cultivators, if they attacked someone together, it would be a nightmare, however, "There is no chance, Emperor is a different realm." Nux shook his head again. Repeating the same words his women told him in front of them. "Alright, it is not like we didn't predict it." Amaya spoke. "Indeed, we predicted it already." Nux nodded. "Mhm, we will continue with the plan." Amaya nodded, however, suddenly, Nux interrupted. "Actually, I think we can make a better plan now." "Hmm? What do you mean?" Amaya frowned. A smile appeared on Nux's face, he then glanced at Evane and revealed, "Evane wants to become the Ruler of this country." Amaya narrowed her eyes, "I am sure you didn't feel the same way before, then why now? Why so suddenly, what happened?" She questioned. Thyra and Ember had a similar question in their minds. Especially Ember, she could feel it, Evane has changed. How does she say it… Her aura… It was different than before. "Well, we can discuss about the reason later." Suddenly, Nux stepped in. He then placed Amaya back on the ground and questioned, "First, I want you to answer my question." "What is it?" "Your Physique. How did you increase its Mastery level so quickly?"
