1335 You will be going to the Skyfall Kingdom as the Skyfall King's bride
"Amaya..."
A woman called out.
There was a strict look on the woman's face and her voice carried an authoritative tone that didn't give out the leeway for any rejection. However, if a perspective being was observing the situation, he would have noticed that despite the authority in the voice, for a very small moment, the voice cracked. The woman who called Amaya looked at her with a guilty look on her face, she however, was quick to hide that expression, making sure that no one noticed it.
Amaya, who heard the woman's voice opened her dark eyes and looked into her eyes, waiting for her words.
The woman flinched when she saw those clear eyes in the eyes of the child she loved, however, knowing that there was nothing she could do in this situation, she quickly regained control over her emotions and, "You will be going to the Skyfall Kingdom as the Skyfall King's bride."
She informed.
"Alright."
Little Amaya nodded.
Riona, who was expecting a retort or at least a question, was surprised to see that the girl agreed to the arrangement so quickly. It was as if she was expecting something like this.
Thinking about it, Riona felt piercing pain in her heart, seeing the calm expression on her child's face knowing that she was being sent into a tiger's den made her clench her fists in anger and helplessness.
"When am I leaving?"
Amaya questioned, looking into her mother's eyes and noticing all the expressions she was trying to hide.
At the same time, she couldn't help but curse her past self for not being able to see these emotions before, but of course, expecting something like that from a mere 12-year-old was a ridiculous thought.
Not to mention that all of this was being taken out of her mind, nothing here was real, so Amaya didn't know if what she was currently seeing was what actually happened or not. She wasn't a fool, she knew how Illusions worked.
To make it more believable, the top-level illusions use the images one already has in their mind, leaving any possibilities for mistakes.
"You will be leaving in a month."
Riona replied and Amaya, who came out of her reverie simply nodded and closed her eyes again, indirectly telling her mother to leave.
Riona raised her hand towards her daughter, wanting to talk with her, however, knowing that her hands were tied, there was nothing she could do and simply closed her eyes, burying her pain deep in her heart.
She completely deserved what she was going through considering what she was doing to her own blood.
Maybe it was God's way to punish her.
Thinking about it, Riona walked out of her daughter's room.
After she left, Amaya momentarily opened her eyes, observing the door with her deep, clear eyes. She completely understood what Riona was going through and for a moment, she did consider talking to her mother, she however, was quick to shake her head.
She had been in this place for 12 years, no matter how real everything around her looked, she couldn't forget that she was currently inside an illusion created by a Trial Tower.
She wasn't here to clear her past mistakes or live a life she wanted instead of living one she lived before, she was here to comprehend her Path and to form her Law.
She was here to get stronger.
She didn't have time to waste on such pointless matters, especially when all of these are created by mere illusion. Not to mention she had already cleared all her misunderstandings with her mother in her real life.
Thinking about all this, Amaya closed her eyes again, getting back to comprehending her Path.
More and more time passed, and soon, it was time for Amaya to go to the Skyfall Kingdom. She simply followed the arrangements that were made for her.
Maybe because she felt like she wouldn't be able to control her emotions if she saw everything with her own eyes, the woman didn't make an appearance. Soon, Amaya was taken in by the Skyfall Delegates and was then taken to the Skyfall Kingdom.
The King, Ricardus Skyfall, glanced at the 12-year-old lustfully, then however, he decided to wait till the girl was mature before finally making a move on her.
The 6 most peaceful years went by in an instant, all these years, Amaya didn't do anything. Not even bothering to create the Thousand Information Chamber. After all, she already had what she wanted to find, as to how she met her husband because of the Information Chamber and how there are chances that she wouldn't be able to meet him if she didn't create the Information Chamber, well, Amaya didn't care about that.
The fake couldn't possibly be better than the real one.
There was no way Amaya would ever settle for a fake one, even though all of this was an illusion and even her own body wasn't real, just thinking about getting in contact with another man, even if that man was an Illusion created with her husband in mind, she felt disgusted.
She belonged to Nux and Nux alone, no one else was supposed to get close to her.
And she wasn't willing to compromise with this no matter what.
Anyways, 6 years later, when Amaya finally turned 18. It was time Ricardus made his move, however, knowing that the girl was cursed, considering how she was still a mortal despite cultivating for all these years.
The King, just like how he did in reality, hired a man to check just how bad the curse truly was.
This time, however, Amaya wasn't playing around. The moment the man entered her room, her Mist moved, before the man could even struggle, his Life Force was devoured and he turned into a lifeless body with a body that felt like it would wither anytime now.
Obviously, Amaya wasn't fooling around all this time, even though she couldn't cultivate, her understanding of Devouring Mist had increased to the point where let alone current Ricardus, if even the current Astaria made a move, she wouldn't last long.
Yes, despite having any cultivation, Amaya was able to control her Mist.
After 18 years of hard work, she was able to see her Path.
She just needed more time to strengthen and comprehend it.
