"Lady Astaria, I know about her."
The Man nodded and Thyra and Nux's faces changed.
"You who about her?" Thyra narrowed her eyes.
This wasn't something this man should know about. This was Skyfall Kingdom's deep secret. The fact that Lady Astaria is out shouldn't be revealed to other countries so soon.
If it was before, Nux and Thyra would have ignored it, however, now, when Evane is about to become the next ruler of this Kingdom, they can't ignore it.
They had to know, how in the world did this man know about this?
Is there a Traitor inside the Kingdom? Or maybe there is more than one?
Nux and Thyra had to make sure.
"Master told me."
The Man answered.
"How did she know?"
Thyra questioned and again, the Man shook his head,
"I do not know."
'Ask him how he plans to Kill Raguel under Astaria's watch'
Nux instructed.
"How do you plan to kill the First Prince under her watch?"
"Master said that currently, Raguel is not living inside the Royal Palace because he is being blamed for the Third Prince's Assassination. He is living in Duke Fulvanius Mansion. Therefore, Lady Astaria wouldn't know if we attack him.
The only problem is that King Stage Cultivator protecting the Duke House, well, it was a problem before, however, with two of us, two King Stage Cultivators fighting in this, completing this mission would be as easy as killing a bug."
The man smiled.
"…"
Thyra frowned.
'So they know about the fact that Raguel assassinated the Third Prince, it is a little faster than I expected, but still not too abnormal. Raguel is staying in Duke's House is something that you can guess yourself.
The fact that they do not know about Astaria's Journey to the Solid Earth Kingdom means that the informant is not the King or anyone in the Shadow Unit.
I think it is one of the 4 Ministers.'
Nux already had a rough guess in his mind.
'Gibson…'
However, since he wasn't sure, he wasn't planning to take any action.
At the same time, he told everything that happened to Amaya.
After thinking about this for a while, Amaya shook her head.
'It cannot be Gibson.'
'Why not? He is the only one who has the reason to collude with other Kingdom.' Nux frowned.
'He has the reason, yes, however, the timings don't match. The Response is just too quick. Even if Gibson wanted to do something, he wouldn't have done so right after the assassination. He would have waited for at least a Month.
It was not like Raguel and he will be implicated within a month, due to their status, it would have taken a lot more time than that. Gibson should know this as well.
There is no way he would do something as dangerous as contacting the other Kingdom when all eyes are on him.
Even if it is proved that Raguel is the killer, Fulvanius House would only lose some of their power, however, if the fact that they are in contact with the other kingdom secretly is revealed, the whole Duke House would be destroyed.
The stakes are just too high.'
Amaya explained and Nux turned silent.
'Then how does this 'Master' know about all this?'
'I don't know.'
Amaya snorted.
Nux frowned.
A strange reaction.
Why is she acting like that?
He wondered in his mind.
Suddenly, a question popped into her mind.
'Amaya.'
He called out.
'What is it?'
'What is your mother's name?'
'Why do you want to know?'
'I want to go after her, the woman who gave birth to someone like you must be a beauty.'
'Don't even dare.' Amaya threatened.
'I am just joking, now tell me her name.'
'Riona Skadi.'
Amaya answered, however, her expression was not good.
Nux nodded, he then turned towards Thyra and questioned.
'Thyra, what's this Master's name again?'
'Her name?'
Thyra frowned.
'Yes, what is it?'
'I don't know…'
Thyra shook her head.
'Huh?'
'I was not ranked high enough, though I met her a few times, every time I did, she had a mask on her face.'
'What about this idiot? He should know about it, correct?'
'He should…'
Thyra nodded and then without needing Nux's instruction, she questioned,
"What is Master's real name?"
"Huh?"
The Man frowned.
"Just answer the question."
"…"
The man didn't know how to reply.
His Master's name was a secret, however, Thyra here was someone very important for this Mission, and this Mission was very important to his Master.
He didn't know what to do.
"What? So much for the final farewell and all that? You can't even trust me with something so simple? How can I trust you with my life then?
You can leave."
Thyra spoke in a cold tone.
"Find someone else to help you."
Saying that, Thyra stood up and started walking away.
"Riona, Riona Skadi, the Queen of the Skadi Kingdom."
Thyra's eyes widened in surprise.
On the other hand, Nux finally realized.
'So the woman they are talking about is your mother.'
'She is not my mother, she is a bitch.'
Amaya's response was instantaneous.
'You really hate her, don't you?'
'Hmph, try getting abandoned by your mother when you are only 12 years old, you would know how I feel, honestly, I would have preferred if I was an orphan.'
Amaya snorted.
'So she was the one who sent you here.'
'Yes, Skadi's attacked one of the cities in the Skyfall Kingdom, afraid of retaliation, they 'sold' me to the perverted King here. This bitch was the one who proposed this Idea.'
'Sending her 12-year-old daughter away as a gift… disgusting…'
Nux clenched his fist.
'What else can you expect from a power-hungry bitch.'
Amaya commented.
'Do you know why she wants to Kill Raguel?'
Nux questioned.
'I don't.'
Amaya snorted.
Nux realized that he shouldn't ask anything from Amaya in this situation. Her hatred for her mother will cloud her judgment.
'You don't have to be so worked up, I am here, you are not with the King or the Skadi's anymore. You are trapped with me now.'
'I am not worked up, I don't care about that bitch.'
Amaya snorted again.
'…'
Nux turned silent.
He realized that he had to visit Amaya, however, right now, he had to do something else.
