Chapter 396 The Smartest Woman

Chapter 396 The Smartest Woman

"Something must be wrong inside the Solid Earth Kingdom.

I strongly believe that we should place our focus on them."

Keeve spoke with a serious look on his face, and this time, someone unexpectedly agreed with his words.

"I agree with him."

Hearing a voice that he shouldn't be hearing right now, the King frowned. He then turned towards the source of the voice and saw Amaya standing in front of him.

"What are you doing here?"

The King questioned.

"I wanted to talk to you about the Solid Earth Kingdom."

Amaya answered.

The King narrowed his eyes and questioned.

"Is it so important that you would use 2 hours of your freedom to come and talk to me?"

Everyone in the Palace knew that Amaya had a deadly curse eating her from inside. The curse was so deadly that she couldn't even move and usually stayed inside her room.

However, every day, at random, the curse weakens for two hours, in these two hours, Amaya can move wherever she wants and could do whatever she wants.

Other than using her energy, of course.

She has tested it before, the moment she tries to use her cultivation that she has gained due to her curse, that annoying curse returns and breaks her entire body with agonizing pain.

The King still remembers the day when Amaya was howling in agony while lying on the floor withering in pain and with that scary Black Mist surrounding her body, no one dared to pick her up.

Amaya spent that entire day staying on the floor, that was the day when everyone inside the Palace learned about her curse and…

Distant themselves from her even more than before.

Her curse was just too strong.

Amaya termed these 2 hours and hours of freedom, the time where she would move wherever or do whatever she wanted and instructed everyone to not bother her.

This was the time when she wouldn't talk to anybody, even the King.

Therefore, the King was surprised that she used this time she so valued to come here.

"What I want to talk about is just that important."

Amaya answered with a serious look on her face.

"What is it? What do you want to talk about?"

Ricardus questioned.

"I can't contact any of my spies that I have planted inside the Solid Earth Kingdom."

"!!!"

The King's eyes widened in surprise.

Not only him, but the ministers, Keeve, or anyone who actually knew a bit about Amaya was shocked to their core.

"None of them…?"

Keeve couldn't help but question.

"None of them…"

Amaya nodded with a solemn look on her face.

Ricardus's face turned serious as well.

They weren't just talking about three of four spies here, Amaya had planted more than a thousand spies inside all the Kingdoms, her information network was greatest for a reason.

Although not as strong as the network inside the Skyfall Kingdom, it was still stronger than most of the information networks that existed inside their home Kingdom.

Heck, she even knew some secrets of the noble that even those noble's wives didn't know about.

"I tried to place more spies, however, I soon lost contact with them as well. This can't be a coincidence, there is something wrong.

Your Majesty, you need to send someone there and check what is going on there.

This matter…

I believe it is much more important than Allura's incident."

Amaya spoke.

The King narrowed his eyes when he heard her last sentence, it was clear that he didn't like those words at all, and as if Amaya sensed that, she continued,

"Just like Keeve and the Ministers said, these two incidents can be related to each other. This organization you were talking about, there is a high chance that its base is inside the Solid Earth Kingdom."

The King thought about all this for a while and then, he nodded.

"Alright, I will focus on the Solid Earth Kingdom."

Amaya smiled a little, however, the smile on her soon disappeared and she continued,

"There is a high chance that the Spies you send there will be dealt with before they could find anything valuable.

Once that happens, contact the Woods Dynasty."

The King narrowed his eyes again.

'Once that happens' these words triggered him.

It was as if she was sure that he would fail, of course, the King didn't like this at all.

Amaya was clearly looking down on him.

Keeve, however, didn't care about these trivial things right now.

"Why the Woods Dynasty?"

Amaya turned towards Keeve and questioned back,

"Have you heard about Ember Windstar?"

"About how she went missing?"

Amaya nodded.

"Yes, I have heard about it and I believe the ones behind this incident are also the ones who attacked Consort Allura."

Keeve nodded back.

"There is a very high chance that what you think is correct, however, that is not what I am talking about right now."

"What is it then?"

Ricardus questioned.

"Where was Ember going when she was attacked?"

Amaya questioned Keeve.

"To the Capital."

Keeve answered.

"Why was she going to the capital?"

Amaya questioned again.

Keeve narrowed his eyes and then, he shook his head.

"I do not know."

"She resigned."

"She resigned…? That woman…?"

Keeve frowned.

"Yes, the woman who was known to be the best General that the Woods Dynasty has seen in so many centuries resigned while the Dynasty was in danger.

There has to be some reason for it."

"She might be running away in fear."

A Minister chuckled.

Amaya and Keeve looked at him with expression faces, the woman turned silent and turned away.

"Ember Windstar wasn't the type who would be scared for her life, she wouldn't just run away because she was scared.

There has to be a reason behind this.

I assume that it has to do something with the Solid Earth Kingdom.

Try to find some clues from there, talk with the soldiers close to her maybe.

I think this will give you a lead you can work on."

Amaya suggested and Keeve noted all her words in his mind.

At the same time, he couldn't help but look at Amaya with an amazed look on his face.

He wondered how that woman was able to come up with something like this.

'She's not called the Smartest Woman in the entire Kingdom without a reason.'

"Oh, before I forget, there is something else that I need to tell you."
