“So, my dear Fel, I will ask you again, what do you think about the current king?”
“…are you really sure you want to do it?” Felberta questioned.
“Don’t worry, as I said, I am very scared of death. I will not act restlessly. Also, you can be sure about one thing, if I want to run away, even a king stage expert won’t be able to catch me” Nux assured with a confident smile.
Of course, he was lying with a straight face. He has no clue if a king stage or even an expert stage could detect his conceal or not.
However, he knew that he would get stronger at a never seen rate and someday not that far away, even the legendary emperor stage cultivator won’t be able to detect and defeat him.
“…mm” Felberta nodded, though she thought it was a ridiculous notion for a king stage cultivator to not be able to catch an advance stage cultivator, Nux was an anomaly.
“Fel, you still haven’t answered my question” Nux reminded gently.
Then, Felberta’s sighed in defeat as she answered,
“The current king… he is not a good king, but he is not a bad one either. He is just an average king, nothing special really.”
“Hmm? We can’t have an average king leading us, can we? How about I become the new king?” Nux spoke with a smile.
Felberta’s lips twitched as she thought inwardly, ‘Why are you even asking me? No matter what I think about the king, won’t you still plan to replace him?’
“Yeah yeah, we can’t have an average king… you should really become our new king…” Felberta replied bland tone.
She couldn’t believe she was saying it. If someone else heard her, they would be scared shitless.
What she said was nothing less than treason!
She would die if her words were heard by someone.
However, when she saw Nux’s face, she smiled inwardly,
‘It might not be a bad thing to die for him…’
Love really makes one blind and stupid…
“Fel, do you have some information about the royal harem? Some good information, a consort I can get my hands on for example.” Nux asked seriously, as if he was talking about something very important and not about cucking the king of the kingdom he lived in.
“Not really, but I can find it if you want”
“Hm? Can a normal Viscount get information like this?” Nux questioned.
“Of course not! But I have my ways” Felberta smiled.
“Can it be traced back to you?” Nux asked seriously.
“Hmm… it can” After thinking about it for a while, Felberta replied.
“Then forget about it” Nux directly shook his head. He wasn’t going to let Felberta take such a big risk.
“Fel, who do you think would know more about the royal harem?” Nux questioned.
Felberta thought about it but couldn’t come up with an answer; everyone who knew something more about the royal harem is someone important and can’t be offended. They couldn’t target him/her right now.
“The head maid!” Suddenly, Skyla’s eyes brightened as she replied.
“The head maid?”
“Yes, the head of all the maids working in the Royal Palace. She should know a lot of things about the royal harem!” Skyla nodded.
“Hmm… but the head maid won’t leave the Royal palace easily right? How do I contact her?”
“That… I do not know” Skyla lowered her head, embarrassed.
“It shouldn’t be that difficult to contact her” Felberta replied.
“No, we can’t use your name” Nux shook his head.
“You don’t have to. You just have to disguise yourself as a merchant from another kingdom and introduce some items to meet her. Then you can perform your magic on her later.”
Nux stayed silent for a while before his eyes brightened,
“Fel, you are a genius!”
“Hmph! Of course, I am!” Felberta snorted but a small smile appeared on her face.
“Umm… but… how can any random company merchant meet the head maid of the royal palace? Won’t we need some authentication…?” Lane interjected.
“…” the room turned silent.
Lane was right, how could any merchant meet the head maid? if that was possible, the head maid would have been long dead due to overwork.
“Umm… what if the merchant was introduced to her by a maid of a royal palace? Would that be enough?” Skyla questioned.
“That should be enough for the head maid to take a look” Felberta answered.
“T-Then I know a maid who works in the royal palace. We’re not that close, but I can introduce you to her… then…” Skyla suggested.
“Are you talking about Annice?” Lane questioned to which Skyla nodded.
“That might work, for Nux, it should be easy to convince that Annice you speak of, isn’t that right?” Felberta glanced at Nux. “After all, fooling innocent girls is what you are best at”
Nux didn’t know how to respond to the jab which was completely uncalled for.
He decided that it would be best to stay silent in this position and didn’t reply.
“Hmph!” Felberta snorted seeing him acting like that. She then glanced at Skyla and questioned.
“How and when will you introduce her?”
“According to her holiday schedule, her next time off would be a week later, I can introduce you to her then”
“Okay, so it’s decided, we will meet her and decided what to do later next week. Till then, Nux is all ours, enjoy to your heart’s content~” Felberta announced without even asking the man they were talking about.
Not that the man minded or anything.
