“Defeating the King does not mean you would be able to become the King of the Skyfall Kingdom.
If it was that easy, many would have done it already.”
Amaya muttered with a wry smile on her face.
“Huh? Isn’t he the strongest man in the country? Wouldn’t defeating him make me the strongest? What could possibly stop me once I defeat the King of the country?” Nux questioned with a frown.
“You are really clueless about everything, aren’t you? Who said that the King is the strongest man in the Kingdom?” Amaya questioned as she glanced at Nux, who had now stepped back and was looking at her with a confused expression on her face.
“He is not the strongest?”
“Thank the gods that you have me by your side. Who knows what would happen if you didn’t meet me?
Actually, you should thank me that I sent a Spy to Allura’s room.” A smile appeared on Amaya’s face.
Nux, however, wasn’t sharing her smile.
He was too confused right now.
“Alright, answer this, what is the cultivation stage of the strongest person in a Duke house?”
“The head of the Duke Family is an Expert Stage Cultivator,” Nux answered.
And he was sure about his answer, he had confirmed this from Alger, Edda and Allura.
“That is correct. The head of the Duke Families are Expert Stage Cultivators.” Amaya nodded as well.
“However, that isn’t my question. I am asking about the strongest person inside a Duke family, what should be his/her cultivation stage?”
Amaya questioned.
“Shouldn’t the head be the strongest?” Nux frowned.
Amaya, however, shook her head,
“The Duke houses or a lot more deeply rooted than you think.
The strongest person inside a Duke House is their ancestor.
A King Stage Cultivator.”
Amaya revealed and Nux’s eyes widened in shock.
“I am not talking about only one House, I am talking about all four of them,
Fulvanius House, Centho House, Merula House and Vestalis House, all of them have a King Stage Cultivators protecting them from shadows.”
“F-Four King Stage Cultivators…” Nux muttered in shock.
4 King Stage Cultivators!
This was ridiculous.
He might be able to fight against one King Stage Cultivator, but how would he fight against 5 of them at the same time?
No wait…
Now that he thinks about it, it might not be that tough.
However, before his signature smile could appear on his face, Amaya continued,
“Not only that, but the Headmaster of the Royal Academy, The strongest General that leads the Royal Army and even the Queen of the Skyfall Kingdom, all of them are King Stage Experts.”
Nux gulped.
8 King Stage Cultivators.
Let’s say he can fight 5 of them at the same time, however, can he fight 8 King Stage Cultivators at the same time?
The chances were low.
Very low, however, that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.
He could still fight against 8 King Stage Cultivators at the same time if he improves himself and buys a few more 7-Star Abilities from the System.
However, thinking about the situation calmly, a frown appeared on Nux’s face.
Seeing that frown, Amaya smiled,
“It seems that you understand what I am trying to say.” She muttered.
“Why hasn’t anyone betrayed the King yet?” Nux questioned.
If the King of the Kingdom was only a King Stage Cultivator, then how is he able to rule the other 7 King Stage Cultivators?
This shouldn’t be possible.
Let’s say the Queen and the General are extremely loyal to him.
That makes it 3 King Stage Cultivators on the King’s side, but why aren’t the 5 King Stage Cultivators collaborating with each other?
“That’s a good question.
Everyone says that the King is just an average King, then why hasn’t he been replaced yet?
They say that he doesn’t care about anything and every decision he makes is mostly decided by his ministers that are from the Duke Houses, then why aren’t the Duke houses taking Advantage of this situation?
Why?
Why has the King of the Skyfall Kingdom not fallen yet?”
Amaya shot a few more questions and the more she asked the deeper Nux frowned.
He then glanced at Amaya, waiting for her to answer all these questions.
Amaya understood what he wanted therefore she didn’t keep the suspense for long and answered,
“The answer to all these questions is,
The Dowager.
Astaria Skyfall.
The Strongest Being in the Skyfall Kingdom and probably the whole world, an Emperor Stage Cultivator.”
Amaya informed.
“A-An Emperor Stage Cultivator? But didn’t they say that there are no Emperor Stage Cultivators alive in the World right now?” Nux questioned.
“That is just a piece of false information. Emperor Stage Cultivators are still alive, however, there are very rare.
There are only 4 Emperor Stage Cultivators in the whole world right now, each living in one of the Four Kingdoms.
And Astaria Skyfall is the strongest of them all.
That is also the reason why the Skyfall Kingdom is known to be the strongest Kingdom in this world.”
Amaya answered.
And then, she continued,
“Also, do not put Emperor Stage and other cultivation Stages in the same category.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“An Emperor is different.
A King Stage Cultivator will be overwhelmed if he faces 100 Expert Stage Cultivators, however, an Emperor can deal with 1000s of King Stage Cultivators without any problem.”
“WHAT!?” Nux shouted in surprise.
“As I said, an Emperor is different, it is not just a Cultivation Stage, it is a Realm.
The Strongest realm in this world.
They say that only one who could fight an Emperor is another Emperor, there is no other way around.”
Then, Amaya glanced at Nux and answered,
“That is the reason why no one dares to go against the King and betray the Skyfall Kingdom.
As long as Astaria Skyfall is alive, no man, who does not have the Skyfall Blood running through his veins, would be able to rule the Skyfall Kingdom.”
