“My Lord.”

A man walked into the room and kneeled.

In front of him, sat a man wearing a long white colored robe, and a white colored Kaffiyeh on his head (imagine a better-quality, white-colored sheikh clothes.)

“Report.”

The man spoke with a solemn expression on his face.

“The Delegates from the Skyfall Kingdom are here.”

Hearing that, the man’s smile brightened in joy.

“Don’t let them wait, call them in. Quick.”

He ordered.

It was clear that he was quite desperate to meet these delegates.

And why wouldn’t he be?

The Solid Earth Kingdom has been raiding their towns without stopping.

They have already lost 2 King Stage Cultivators and the number of lower-level soldiers who have died couldn’t even be counted.

They were completely helpless against the enemy.

He conversed with his Grandfather, the Protector of the Kingdom, however, due to that annoying treaty, he couldn’t move in either.

The enemy seemed unstoppable and continued to kill their soldiers.

They have already lost a lot, their reputation is taking a hit with every passing moment and things are getting worse and worse,

And in this hopeless-looking condition, one Kingdom actually came forward and showed them a helping hand.

And it was not just a normal Kingdom, it was the strongest Kingdom in the World, the Skyfall Kingdom.

Of course, Ellinger Woods, the Dynast of the Woods Dynasty would be excited.

The man who reported quickly stood up, bowed his head again and,

“I will bring them in a moment.”

He then turned away and left the hall.

2 Minutes later, a Man wearing black colored skin tights clothes and a woman wearing a long Purple Black Gown and a Black facemask walked into the Palace.

Seeing them, the people inside the Royal Palace couldn’t help but keep their eyes wide open.

Especially when their eyes fell on the woman.

Although she had covered half of her face using a mask, just from the rest of the face that was visible, those black eyes that seemed to have stored an entire world inside them, those silky black raven hair, thin eyebrows, and white skin, one could tell that this woman was an unparalleled beauty.

Not only that, but besides being an unparalleled beauty, this woman was also a King Stage Cultivator.

Yes, this beautiful and delicate-looking woman was one of the strongest experts in this world.

As soon as she walked in, she completely overshadowed the man who was walking with her. The man also stood behind the women, showing that he was a subordinate. However, even this ‘subordinate’ was a King Stage Cultivator.

The message was clear.

The Skyfall Kingdom was showing off its strength.

When Ellinger’s eyes fell on the woman, he was taken aback, his heart skipped a beat, he wanted to make this woman his, however, as soon as he looked into this woman’s eyes, he completely kicked that thought out of his mind.

This woman was clearly someone influential in the Skyfall Kingdom, if it was a normal situation, he would not have held back, however, right now, he didn’t have an option.

If he messed up, his grandfather would kill him.

With a serious expression on his face, he greeted,

“People from the Skyfall Kingdom, I, Ellinger Woods, Greet you from the bottom of my heart, please take your seat.”

His words flowed smoothly, no signs of his previous excitement could be seen, and his tone was neutral, neither submissive nor dominating.

A good sign.

The woman observed the Dynast for a moment, then, she greeted,

“My name is Amaya Leander, I hope our discussion today bears a fruitful result.”

Amaya introduced herself with a slight bow, and the man behind her bowed as well.

Amaya then walked towards the seat and sat down while the man stood behind her.

“I hope the same as well.”

Ellinger nodded at the same time, he started searching for the name Amaya Leander in his head.

This was his first time hearing this name.

A frown appeared on his face since he couldn’t recognize this seemingly influential woman, however, he didn’t show anything outside.

“Dynast Ellinger.”

Suddenly, Amaya called out.

“Please speak freely, Lady Amaya.”

Ellinger spoke.

“Since we are short on time, I will not beat around the bush and will directly jump to the main topic.”

Amaya spoke, then, her expression turned serious and she requested,

“I want to talk to Lord Alcimus.”

“What!?”

“Impudent!”

“Who do you think you are!?”

“Do you think Lord Alcimus would meet some like y-”

“Silence.”

The ministers sitting in the Hall reacted violently to Amaya’s request, Ellinger, however, raised his voice, and as soon as he did, the Hall turned silent.

Ellinger then glanced at Amaya and spoke,

“Lady Amaya, I hope you know how disrespectful it is to bring up our protector in this meeting. It is like saying we are not worthy of meeting you.”

“I do not mean to disrespect you, Dynast Ellinger.

However, the topic I want to discuss is sensitive, it would be better if Lord Alcimus is here.

Actually, it would be better if there are fewer people hearing this conversation.”

Amaya replied calmly as she glanced at other ministers who snorted, but since the Dynast had raised their hands, they didn’t say anything.

The meaning behind Amaya’s words was clear.

The ministers here shouldn’t listen to this conversation.

It was a difficult request considering she was the one who came from outside.

Agreeing to her request would mean that the Dynast is implying that he doesn’t trust his own ministers, which in turn, would show how unstable the Dynasty is and would sully its reputation.

“…”

Ellinger turned silent and started thinking.

After 2 minutes, he glanced at Amaya and nodded.

“Alright, then I will be placing my trust in you, Lady Amaya.”

A small smile appeared on Amaya’s face as she nodded,

“You will not regret it.”

Ellinger smiled wryly.

The Dynasty’s reputation was already being affected with every passing moment, he doesn’t have the time to care about things like these right now.

Seeing his expression, Amaya smiled inwardly.

‘Dealing with smart people is always better than dealing with useless fools.’
