Chapter 403 He's here. "Your Majesty, I think I have made it very clear before, I do not want to entertain anyone in my Hours Of Freedom." Amaya, who was currently sipping her tea inside her room, questioned with a calm look on her face. Yes, she was indirectly telling the King of the Kingdom to get the hell out of her room. Actually, it wasn't even indirect, it was pretty straightforward. She just didn't say the words, 'get the fuck out' directly. However, the King understood what she wanted to say and narrowed his eyes. "You cannot talk to me like that. I am the King of the Kingdom." Amaya smiled, "I apologize, if I sounded rude, Your Majesty. It is just I lose control over my emotions due to this annoying curse, I am forced to stay in one place for the whole day, therefore, I really value these 2 hours I have where I can move and do whatever I want." The King looked at Amaya and narrowed his eyes even more. Her words were polite… however… why did the King feel that she was saying, 'I don't give a fuck' right in his face? "Where did you go yesterday?" In the end, the King decided to completely ignore it and questioned directly. Dealing with Amaya was hard, especially after she has been 'on edge' due to her curse. "Hmm? Didn't I tell you before? I snuck out of the Palace." Amaya answered with an innocent look on her face. The King's face twitched in annoyance. "You did tell me that. However, that is not what I am talking about right now. What I want to know is where you sneaked out yesterday." He questioned. "Well, it wouldn't be called sneaking out if everyone knew about my destination, now will it?" Amaya smiled. "Amaya, I am not in the mood for any jokes." The King spoke with a serious look on his face. "I am not joking, your Majesty. All I can tell you is that I went there because I wanted to send some of my special spies into the Solid Earth Kingdom. I can't tell you anything other than that." The King looked at Amaya for a while, and then, he questioned. "Did you succeed?" "Well, I have already made my moves, and whether it will succeed or not, I will know within 2 weeks." Amaya answered. The King nodded. "What about your Majesty? Did you manage to place your spies into the Solid Earth Kingdom?" Amaya questioned. The King shook his head, "I do not have any answer to that question, Keeve is the one who handles all of that, he hasn't reported anything to me yet. Actually, I am worried about another thing right now." Amaya noticed how the King refused to answer her and changed the topic. 'He is smarter than he looks.' She noted inwardly and smiled inwardly. Then, she 'frowned', "Hmm? Another thing? What happened, Your Majesty?" She questioned. Successfully allowing the King to change the topic. "It's about the Princes. The fight between them has become even fiercer than before." "Hmm? What happened?" "A rumor spread, saying that I would soon choose the Crown Prince and that I favor the Third Prince. I do not know who has spread this rumor, but I am sure he or she has done it intentionally. Everything happened way too quickly for it to be natural." "Oh? So this flamed the War between the princes?" Amaya questioned with an interested look on her face. "Indeed." The King nodded. "Then what about you, Your Majesty? Who do you support?" Amaya questioned. "Well, everyone has their own strong points." The King replied. Clearly, he had no intention of answering this question. Amaya lost interested. A Meaningless conversation was the thing she hated the most. Unless it is with Nux of course, with him, she could talk about the most meaningless matters of the world. Just his presence alone was enough for her. Of course, Ricardus wasn't Nux, therefore, now that she has learned what wanted, Amaya wanted to end this conversation. And she had a perfect way to do so. "Indeed, they are you so-" Amaya stopped inwardly and then, she cursed, "Shit." Her face contoured into a painful frown, and Black Mist came out of her body. In an abrupt manner, she stood up and jumped into her bed. Then, she groaned in pain. "Uuugghhhhh!!!" More and more Mist came out of her body. Seeing this scene, the King stepped back. Amaya clenched the bedsheets and gritted her teeth. Clearly, she was in immense pain. "I will take my leave now." The King muttered and then, he turned around. He wasn't interested in that curse of hers. Especially when there are chances that he might be cursed as well. He quickly left Amaya's room and the moment he left, Amaya's face returned to normal. 'My butterfly did a good job.' She spoke. 'Well, she was your butterfly after all. She has to be good.' Nux replied. A small smile appeared on Amaya's face. 'Indeed Indeed.' 'Did you talk with the King?' Nux questioned. 'Heh, that coward just left.' Amaya snorted. 'Oh? Did your 'Curse' return?' 'Yeah' 'Hahaha~' Nux laughed. Amaya chuckled as well. 'It is really convenient.' She commented. 'Indeed.' Nux nodded. Then, he questioned. 'So? What was he talking about?' 'Nothing really. He was really tight-lipped today.' 'Well, whatever. It's not like his answers would really help us in any way.' Nux shrugged. 'Indeed.' Amaya nodded, and then, she questioned. 'What about Evane? Did she leave?' 'Yes, she is talking to her Grandpa right now. I just hope that man is as good as she believes him to be.' Nux answered. 'Don't worry.' Amaya smiled. 'What about him? When do you think he will visit you?' Nux questioned. 'Hmmm? With how the Coward was talking, the rumor spread faster than I expected. He should come to me soon enough, maybe in a day or t-' *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* Suddenly, Amaya heard a knock. Immediately, she used her [Sense] and her smile widened, 'He's here.'
