*Clank* *Clank* *Clank* A man sat inside a dark room, closed from all sides, nothing was visible, the only thing that told the man that he was still alive was the sounds of chains clanking whenever he moves. "Long Live Queen Evane!" "Long Live the Skyfall Kingdom!" Suddenly, the man heard a cheer. It was unusual for the room, where rarely any sounds passes through due to high thick the walls were. The man opened his eyes, this, however, didn't do anything because of how dark the room was. "Long Live Queen Evane!" "Long Live the Skyfall Kingdom!" The man heard the cheers again. *Step* *Step* *Step* Then, he heard the sounds of footsteps. The man frowned. Why was someone coming here? He wondered inwardly as he glanced at the direction the sound came from. *Creak* The doors were opened, the light pierced into the man's eyes, he needed some time to get used to it. Suddenly, the man heard a condensing, disdainful voice, "Man… what's with that look on your face? Did Lady Astaria not provide you with any food?" The man glanced at the man who had just entered his prison room and frowned, Black hair, Golden eyes, a handsome face, he has never seen this man before. Who was he? And as if hearing his thoughts, the man introduced himself, "Let me introduce myself, My name is Nux Leander, if it was normal time, I would have bowed, or even kneeled in front of you, however, since you are already in this position, I would not be doing that, Ricardus Skyfall, the previous King. Or I should say criminal who is about to be executed." Nux's smile widened. Hearing Nux's words, Ricardus, who was bound by Ironstar chained widened his eyes in surprise. "E-Executed?" He questioned. Well, he knew he was going to get executed, but still, he didn't think it would happen this soon. "What are you acting so surprised for? Didn't you already know about it?" Nux questioned. "N-No, you can't execute me!" Ricardus's pale face turned even paler. He quickly rushed towards Nux, he was bounded by the Chains so he still couldn't reach him, however, he got as close to him as possible and placed his head on the ground. "Y-You can't do this! Please! You can't kill me! Y-Your name is Nux, right? Listen to me, remove these chains, I know a secret tunnel, I would run away from there, you can just say the chains somehow broke apart or either blame someone else. If I make it out of here, I will always remember your favor, you will have me, a King Stage Cultivator as your ally, I am sure I will be useful to you. You stand to gain nothing from my death anyways! This is absolutely a deal wher-" "Huh? What are you talking about? I stand to gain a lot from your death." Nux suddenly frowned and replied, "H-Huh? B-But I don't even know you. W-Why do you want me dead?" "Well, it is true that we have never met before, but my wife doesn't like you," Nux replied. "Y-Your w-wife? W-W-Who is she? I will personally apologize to her if I had wronged her in any way. I-I will even fall on my knees and rub my nose on the ground in front of her. Just tell me who she is." "She is your daughter, Evane Skyfall." "H-Huh?" The previous King didn't know how to react. "M-My daughter?" "Mhm." Nux nodded with a smile on his face. "Y-You are my daughter's husband?" He questioned and Nux nodded again. "Mhm, the daughter who is replacing you as the next ruler of this Kingdom. You can say that I will become the next King now." "W-Wait, but I am sure that E-Evane doesn't hate me," Ricardus muttered. He couldn't care less about who would become the next King or whatever, he just wanted to be alive. "That's true, but my other wife hates you." Nux nodded and then replied. "W-Who?" "Hmm, Amaya for the start, she hates you a lot, then there is Allura, then… hmmm… I don't think others hate you… they don't really know you that well, but I am sure they would hate you if they knew." "A-Amaya and A-A-Allura?" Ricardus stuttered. "Mhm." "A-A-Are you talking about the R-Royal Consorts." "Previous Royal Consorts." Nux corrected. "Now they are my wives." "Y-Y-You…" Ricardus didn't know what to say. If it was normal, he would have executed this bastard right now, not only did he go after his daughter, he even went after his wives! His wives! How dare he!? Ricardus was boiling in anger, however, more than anger, he was… fearful. Fearful of his own death. "I-I'll a-apologize to Amaya and Allura!" He spoke. "Hmm? You don't mind that they are my wives now? They really love me deeply you know? I love them a lot as well." "L-Loving your partner is good for a healthy relationship." Ricardus smiled. A disgusted expression appeared on Nux's face as he stepped back, "Dude… I am amazed… And I thought I was a coward…" Ricardus didn't mind and requested, "P-Please let me leave! I will ma-" "I would have if I could, but the thing is, one of my wives hate you so much that just mentioning your name would anger her. I heard that you killed her son, as a man, I can't ignore this, now can I?" "I-I killed her s-son? W-When did I do that? Who are talking about? What is her name?" Ricardus questioned. "Astaria Skyfall." "!!!" Ricardus's eyes widened in shock. "S-S-She is you-" "Well, not now, but I am still trying my very best, I will make her mine soon enough." Nux replied. "Y-Y-You… w-who a-are you?" Ricardus questioned. "Hmmm. That's a good question." Nux spoke and started pondering. "I am your son-in-law, then I am your ex-wives' husband and then I will also become your uncle who you can call a father in the future. It is kind of a strange relationship. But meh, It's a cultivation world, Things get a little complicated here. Anyway, Ricardus Skyfall, Get ready for your execution."
