Chapter 204 Royal Academy.

Chapter 204 Royal Academy.

"Except for one.

The Dowager."

Nux answered and a smile appeared on Amaya's face.

"Exactly. There is no way someone like the king would let a woman go, it won't matter if she is from a Duke House, if she is the best student that is being protected by the Academy or if she is from another kingdom.

The only one that can contain the king of the Skyfall kingdom inside the Skyfall kingdom is Astaria Skyfall." Amaya muttered.

The more he thought about it, the larger Nux's smile got.

Amaya was right, the key to Astaria Skyfall might be Arvina Skyfall.

Nux then started thinking and he questioned,

"Do you know anything about Arvina Skyfall?"

It would be easier for him to do what he wanted if he knew more about this woman and since he was sitting in front of someone who practically knows about everything and everyone inside the Skyfall Kingdom, he thought it would be a waste of time if he didn't ask anything.

"I have a good news and a bad news, what would you like to hear first?" Amaya questioned with a playful smile on her face.

"I am a positive person, so I would like to hear the Good news first." Nux smiled back and answered.

"Arvina Skyfall doesn't like the king at all, no, not liking is a weak word, the better way to describe it is that she hates the king with all her existence. That is the reason why she stays in the Royal Academy as the Vice Headmaster."

"Heh. That's a piece of good news indeed."

Nux smiled.

'The path ahead seems clear.'

This thought appeared in his mind.

And as if knowing his thoughts, Amaya's playful smile widened and she answered,

"And the bad news is that not only the King, but Arvina Skyfall also hates every man in the world. The Headmaster of the Royal Academy, or her own father, no one is an exception to her hate."

Nux's smile disappeared and he blinked a few times.

Amaya chuckled as he observed his face with interest.

'Heh, the changes in his expressions are really entertaining,'

"Why does she hate men so much?" Nux questioned.

"I don't know but it's not like you men have something that makes you likeable, I kind of relate to her thinking," Amaya answered.

"Oh?" Nux then glanced at Amaya and smiled,

"So you are saying you hate men?"

"No, I do not hate men, however, I can't say I have a favourable impression of men either.

Hmm, if I have to explain it, then…"

Amaya started thinking and a few seconds later, her expression changed and she continued,

"If there are 2 unknown man and woman drowning in front of me and I only have the option to save any one of them, I would save the woman."

Amaya continued to nod as if praising herself for coming up with such an explanation.

Nux continued to look at her and then, he nodded with a smile,

"Mhm, if two unknown man and woman are drowning in front of me, I would save the woman as well."

Amaya glanced at Nux's face with a deadpan expression.

Nux realized that she wasn't amused by his joke and decided to continue the conversation as if nothing happened.

"If you do not have a favourable impression of men, then why did you choose to make a deal like that with me?" He questioned with a playful smile on his face.

Amaya glanced at the black coloured book in her hand and answered,

"You had something I wanted. Something I have been searching for my whole life for. It was just a deal, your gender doesn't matter. Even if you were a woman, I would have accepted the deal."

Nux looked at her and realized something.

The relationship between him and Amaya was just that,

A deal.

She may have a favourable impression of him, however, that does not mean she likes him.

She just sold herself because she wanted the cultivation technique.

Nux then thought a little more about it and decided to change the topic,

He would change this situation sooner or later.

He just has to be patient.

"So according to you, to deal with Astaria Skyfall, I should meet with Arvina Skyfall, correct?"

"Yes."

"And to meet Arvina Skyfall, I would have to go t-"

"You would have to join the Royal Academy."

Amaya answered.

"Hmm, I figured that much."

Nux nodded as well.

"So, how do I enter the Royal Academy? How hard is the entrance test? Which topics should I prepare for?" He questioned.

"Huh? Entrance test?"

"Well, yeah, there are too many people in the Skyfall Kingdom, they can't just take in any random student that wants to enter, right?"

"Huh? Of course, they obviously can't take any random student, however, there is no test to enter the academy, you just need to be a noble and you can go in."

"Huh? A noble? So a commoner can't join the Royal Academy?"

"Of course not, in what world would a commoner be allowed to join an Elite Academy?"

"Then how will I join the Royal Academy?" Nux questioned.

"You are a commoner?" Amaya questioned and a frown appeared on her face.

"Yes, I do not belong to any noble house." Nux nodded and Amaya's eyes widened in surprise.

"Y-You are a commoner?"

She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

How is this man in front of him a mere commoner!?

That simply isn't possible!

Which commoner has the guts to be in a relationship with a Royal Concubine!?

"Yes, Amaya, I am a commoner, now tell me, is there really no way to join the Royal Academy?" Oblivious to her shock, Nux questioned.

"…"

Amaya stayed silent and glanced at Nux with a shocked look on her face.

Nux misunderstood her face and questioned in worry,

"Is there no way for a commoner to join the Royal Academy?"

Hearing his question, Amaya finally came out of her reverie and answered,

"Well, you do not have to worry, there is a way for a commoner to enter the Royal Academy."
