"She is your daughter and my wife, Amaya Leander. You are my father-in-law, I am your son-in-law.
Anyways, all of that doesn't really matter, let's just jump to the main matter,
Eardwolf Skadi, are you willing to be my Slave?"
Nux questioned.
"What the hell are you talking about!? Are you out of your mind!?" Eardwolf was unable to control himself and questioned out loud.
Nux however, just shrugged, and seeing this, Eardwolf was even more angered.
"Who do you think you are!? Do you know who I am!? You might be a King Stage Cultivator but if I want, I can get rid of you right here and now and your family members won't even find your body. Do not force me to do anything th-"
Eardwolf continued to shout however, suddenly, Nux threw a bag near his legs.
"…" Eardwolf glanced at Nux and narrowed his eyes.
"Before you utter any more of your nonsense, see what's inside.
It would make this conversation a lot easier." Nux spoke with an expressionless look on his face.
"…"
Eardwolf turned silent.
In front of the 3 people in front of him, he crouched and picked up the Bag, and as soon as he peeked in,
"Uh-AAahh!"
His eyes widened in horror and he dropped the bag in fear before stepping back.
He then glanced at Nux, fear clear in his eyes.
Nux smiled,
"The support you are relying on to 'get rid of a mere King Stage Cultivator like me' is dead, so it would be beneficial for you if mind your actions from now on."
"W-W-What did you do?" Eardwolf questioned.
"Are you dumb or something? Don't you see? I killed Amletus, your backer and if you don't what to die, then submit." Nux replied.
His tone was clearly more annoyed than normal.
For some reason, he didn't like this man in front of him.
"A-Are y-you just going to observe t-things? I-I-If the two of us worked together, then w-we can definitely kill him."
Eardwolf glanced at Riona and spoke.
Riona had a strange expression on her face,
"I knew you were dumb but how are you this dumb? Can't you see? I came here with him, obviously, I am on his side.
And let's say I am not on his side and am willing to work with you, do you think we can go against someone who killed Amletus?"
"…" Eardwolf turned silent.
"Eardwolf."
Riona called.
"W-What?"
"I suggest you to just do as you are told, at the very least, you would be able to continue living your life peacefully."
"…"
Eardwolf turned silent.
Nux, however, had enough.
His sword appeared in his hand, he appeared in front of Eardwolf and placed his sword on his neck.
The King widened his eyes in surprise.
He couldn't react to Nux's movement at all.
No matter what, he was still a King Stage Cultivator, how can another King Stage Cultivator be so fearsome?
H-How was this possible?
"Eardwolf Skadi, are you willing to be my Slave?"
Nux spoke and at the same time, a trail of blood leaked out of Eardwolf's neck.
Nux's message was clear.
If he didn't receive the answer he wanted to receive, Eardwolf will be beheaded.
"…"
Eardwolf didn't say anything.
In his mind, he was thinking about many possibilities.
Slapping away Nux's sword, then jumping out of the window, with his cultivation, he would definitely survive, then he would gather his soldiers.
The King Stage Cultivators who are under Riona's command would still listen to his order once he says that Riona had betrayed the Kingdom.
Gathering around 4 King Stage Cultivators won't be difficult, including him, it would be 5v3, there was a decent chance to win, however, for some reason, even if they fail, then as long as they hold out, 5 more King Stage Cultivators would gather.
A 9v3 would definitely be a winnable battle and the other soldiers have not even participated in this scenario yet.
The victory was assured.
However…
As Eardwolf glanced at Nux's eyes,
He had the feeling that the moment he tries to 'slap away his sword', he would die.
In the end, Eardwolf lowered his head and,
"Y-Yes."
Gave up on his pride.
"Good."
Nux smiled.
A strange energy entered Eardwolf's body.
It felt as if some chains were binding all his organs.
Eardwolf was horrified.
"W-What did you do?"
He questioned.
"I turned you into my slave, from now on…"
Nux then briefly explained how the Slave Seal works and the more Eardwolf heard, the paler his face turned.
Seeing that, Riona just smiled,
"Don't worry, it is not that bad, as long as you stay loyal, you can continue living your life as you did before. You now just need to listen to his orders. Just think as if he is the replacement for Amletus.
And if it makes you feel any better, I have a slave seal implanted in me as well."
"W-What? S-So you were forc-" Eardwolf widened his eyes.
"No, I was the one who told him to do that. I accepted it willingly." Riona clarified before Eardwolf even asked his question.
"Yes, the two of you are not the same. Keep in mind, the mother-in-law is the leader here. You will do whatever she says, whether it is abducting the throne, or to even killing yourself, don't you dare go against her orders." Nux spoke.
"K-K-Kill myself?" Eardwolf stuttered, however, before Nux could say anything,
"AAAGGHHHAGGHHH!!!"
Eardwolf quickly fell on the ground and started shrieking and withering in pain.
"Now this is nostalgic," Nux commented.
Amaya nodded in agreement.
Riona, on the other hand, was surprised.
"I can still remove your Seal, you know?" Nux commented.
"I still want to talk to my daughter, thank you very much," Riona replied.
"It is not a means of conversation…"
Nux just sighed and shook his head.
He then glanced at Eardwolf, who was still withering in pain, and sighed again.
That was how the Skadi Kingdom, the Second Strongest Kingdom in the world came under Nux's command.
