"So won't you be forced to marry him?" Thyra questioned with a frown on her face. Edda and Skyla's expressions changed. Amaya, however, had a ridiculous expression on her face as she turned toward Thyra. "What are you talking about? I am dead, remember?" "Ahh, right." Thyra, Skyla, and Edda remembered. "But what if Riona reveals the truth? What if she is actually not on our side and all of this is just an act?" Thyra questioned. "Well, I don't think there is much of a problem, the King has many wives, two of them are his blood sisters, and my brother has many choices, also, I am the 'cursed' child, remember? If they wanted me to marry my brother, they wouldn't have sold me off to Ricardus. If you are worried, you should worry about Riona revealing that I have found a way to cultivate my physique. That is something that would even temp Amletus to make a move." "What would we do if something like that happens?" Thyra questioned. "Heh, don't worry, Lady Astaria would protect us. Nux has arranged that already." A mysterious smile appeared on Amaya's face. Thyra sighed in relief, since they were already prepared, they didn't have to worry about anything. "I still don't think Lady Riona would betray us," Skyla spoke. "Well, let's see what happens, shall we?" Amaya spoke. To be honest, even she hoped that her mother won't betray her again. Whatever Riona has been doing for these past few days, well, although she may not say it out loud, and although not all of them were liked by Amaya, she still enjoyed spending time with her mother. Only a little. She wished that this time would continue, and the mother who was showering her with all her love and care… She hoped that she was not a fake. Yes, whatever Riona was doing was working. Amaya, who had defenses all around her has finally loosened up and placed her heart at risk again. Of course, what happens in the future all depends on Riona. … On the other side, Riona, who has just walked into the Palace, was greeted by a servant, "Lady Riona." Riona nodded, she glanced at the maid in front of her and questioned, "Where is the King?" "His Majesty is in his room." The Maid replied with a respectful look on her face. "Is there anyone with him?" Riona questioned. "Yes, he is with Lady Athela." The maid replied. "Alright, you can leave now." Riona nodded, the maid bowed and walked away. With an expressionless look on her face, Riona walked toward the King's room. In front of the door, 2 guards were standing. These guards were ordered to stop anyone who tries to enter the room. The King was clearly 'busy' right now, any matters that are to be discussed with the King would be discussed tomorrow. However, when Riona walked towards the door, the guards didn't dare to utter a word and moved aside. Riona didn't react, she directly opened the door and walked in. "Who dares!?" A frown appeared on Riona's face the moment she entered the room. She had expected this to happen, but still, no matter how many times she saw this sight, it was still repulsive. A fat pig like this bastard, lying on top of that bitch, both of them naked while the room was filled with this strangely disgusting smell of alcohol, aphrodisiac drugs, and body fluids, it really was repulsive. "I need to talk." Riona, however, ignored whatever she was feeling and spoke. "You cannot barge in like that when the two of us are busy." The woman who was lying on the bed with the King spoke with an angry look on her face while covering her body with bedsheets. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖 Just like Riona, the woman had black hair and black eyes, she was a beautiful woman with an amazing figure, however, when compared to Riona, she seemed… lacking. The woman's name was Athela, Riona, and the King's blood sister. "I don't care if you two are busy or not, I need to talk about something important, I urge you do it right now, the faster you finish, the faster you can return to your… activities." Riona replied. "Didn't you hear? I am busy. Just because you have a little power, don't forget who the real King is. Now leave." The King, Eardwolf Skadi, spoke with an annoyed look on his face. Just like his two sisters, he also had black eyes and hair, with his features, he should have been quite a handsome man, however, with all that flesh surrounding his body, he looked like a pig. A pig who was in power and was now annoyed at the woman in front of her. Riona, however, wasn't a least bit bothered by his gaze, rather, she was infuriated. She released the fearsome aura that she has attained after killing countless people and putting her life at risk for countless years. "Do not make me repeat myself. I need to talk. Right now." Feeling her aura, Eardwolf was intimidated. "I promise you, it is something good." Riona spoke with a smile on her face. In the end, Eardwolf was the King, he may be useless and a coward, but, she still had the crown on his head. She couldn't just use force on him, she had to threaten and offer him something good at the same time, she needed to successfully win his curiosity, she needs to make him listen to what she had to say. "Alright… I will come, wait outside for a while." Eardwolf nodded. Hearing his words, Riona's smile widened, "I'll be waiting." She then turned around and left the room. She didn't wish to spend even a single more second here in this room. Athela, who saw her moving out clenched her fist in frustration. She then turned towards Eardwolf and spoke. "You are the King! How can you let her boss you around like that?" "I am not allowing her to 'boss me around'. This matter seemed important." The King replied. "Important matter my ass! Just admit it, you were scared." Athela snorted. "Athela." Suddenly, Eardwolf's aura changed, he glanced at Athela with a threatening look on his face and warned. "Do not overstep your limits."
