Chapter 411 we would bring justice to the dead General Ember

'Huh? Why should he do it? Aren't there enough of you bitches around him already?'

A typical Amaya answer.

'Tsk Tsk, so selfish.'

Ember snorted.

Well, if it was anyone else other than Arvina, she would probably think the same way, however, she didn't want to lose her friend again.

'You know Nux likes her, don't you?'

She questioned.

'I do. However, if she doesn't like him back, then just leave her alone.'

Amaya replied.

'You know perfectly well that not liking Nux is… difficult.

Arvina likes him, she just doesn't realize it.'

Ember spoke.

'Alright, let's say what you said is all true. Then what? If she doesn't realize that she likes him, then that means that she doesn't want to realize it.

The pressure from society, not breaking the 'taboo' and whatever is much more important to her than Nux.

Why should Nux go after a woman like her?

Didn't he already tell her how he feels?

It's not like he is running away from here, is he?

If she loves him back, and that love is stronger than this stupid society pressure she is facing, then she would come to him.'

'…'

This time, Ember turned silent.

'I agree with Amaya.'

This time, Felberta sided with Amaya.

'Indeed, if a woman can't even understand her own feelings, then it is her fault,'

Thyra nodded as well.

'Mhm, taboos are nothing, didn't I and Evane break them? Our love is real.'

Allura looked at Nux with a loving smile on her face.

'Tsk'

Amaya snorted.

Then, she changed the topic,

'Alright, let's not talk about this useless stuff anymore.

The King and his men are close to finding out the truth.'

Amaya muttered.

'Hmm?'

This gained everyone's attention and soon, everyone forgot about Arvina.

…

"Your Majesty,"

Keeve kneeled.

"You are back."

Ricardus spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"So? Did you find anything?" The King questioned.

"Yes, I did."

Keeve nodded.

A smile appeared on The King's face.

"Finally some good news."

"I would not say so, Your Majesty."

Keeve, however, didn't allow him to stay happy for a long time.

"What happened?"

The King narrowed his eyes.

"The Solid Earth Kingdom just attacked the Deathspike Fort and… the War ended in just 10 minutes."

"WHAT!?"

The King and the Ministers who were hearing the report shouted in disbelief.

"Yes. The General of the Woods Army barely ran away, however, he is in critical condition. From what I have heard, he won't be back to normal for the next 5-10 years."

"…how did this happen?"

The King questioned with a solemn look on his face.

"There were 3 King Stage Cultivators on the Solid Earth Kingdom's side."

"What? How is that possible? Did the Dukes join the war?"

"All the Generals had covered their faces with masks, so no one knew their identity."

Keeve reported and then, he spoke his thoughts.

"I do not think they were the Dukes."

"Then who were they?"

The King questioned.

"I do not know, however, if they were the Dukes, I don't think they would cover their faces like that. Just think of those old geezers, do you really think those greedy bastards would cover their faces when they are fighting the War for the Kingdom?"

Hearing those words, the King nodded.

"Yes, those geezers would make sure the entire world knows that they are participating in the War."

"…"

Hearing these words, the Ministers turned silent and averted their eyes.

They knew better than anyone that whatever the King and Keeve were talking about was true. However, they did not like the fact that Keeve, a mere servant was using words like Bastards for their Protectors.

Of course, they wouldn't show their opposition directly.

Servant or not, Keeve was a King Stage Cultivator.

He is at a stage where even though he is just a commoner, nobles would still have to bow their heads in front of him.

"I don't get it, why is the Woods Dynasty losing this war bad for us?"

One of the ministers questioned.

"I was coming to that."

Keeve nodded and then, he started explaining.

"First, these 3 Mysterious King Stage Cultivators, we don't have any idea who they are. Well, they could be Part of the Kingdom's private forces, so that's not the problem.

The real problem is the Woods Dynasty."

"Why is that?"

The King questioned.

"When I arrived there, they treated me well and answered all of my questions in detail. They even told me about how they will react in this bad situation and their next plans.

However, when I talked about General Ember…

The Dynast turned silent and tried to avoid the topic.

He was… strangely silent about this matter.

Not only that, he even order a few of his men to keep an eye on me after I asked this question."

"…"

The King and the Minsters frowned.

"He is hiding something."

A minister spoke.

"Of course he is. But the question is, what?"

"Why did General Ember give up on her position?"

The Ministers started discussing, however, before they could delve deeper, Keeve interrupted.

"Well, you do not have to worry. I heard that the Deputy Generals of the Woods Army were especially close to General Ember, if the Dynast is indeed hiding something, then I think they would know about it.

Although I couldn't meet them on my own since there were too many eyes on me, I sent one of my men to them.

He should come back with the answers soon enough."

"As I expected of you, Keeve."

The King nodded in satisfaction.

The Ministers, however, didn't agree,

"And why would the Loyal Subordinates disclose their Master's secrets to your men?"

"Heh, because we would bring justice to the dead General Ember."

Keeve smiled.

Hearing those words, the King and the Ministers smiled wickedly.

"We would indeed."

The King muttered then, he turned towards Keeve and nodded,

"You did a good job, Keeve.

You can go rest now."

"As you command, Your Majesty."
