YM778.TV Chapter 291 What is your Goal?
Arvina questioned with a frown on her face.
"Why not aim higher?
Why don\'t I become the King of the Kingdom?"
Nux smiled.
No, he wasn\'t stupid.
He knew the risks.
He knew well enough that telling his goals to Arvina was very risky right now, however, Arvina was someone who placed her trump card in front of him, she told her about the existence of Astaria Skyfall and her relationship with her.
This relationship was a double-edged sword, she can use it against people stronger than her and do things her own way, however, if this news is leaked, she would be in trouble as people would come after her and would try to capture her in order to have a high ground against an Emperor Stage Cultivator.
She was practically putting her life on the line by telling this to Nux, however, she still did it.
Therefore, Nux decided to risk it as well.
"What did you say?" Arvina narrowed her eyes when she heard Nux\'s words.
"I said that there is no need to become the Protector, if I am the strongest, shouldn\'t I become the Ruler?
Strength rules this world, shouldn\'t I be placed at the top since I am the most powerful?
Why should I become a chained dog who is caged in one castle and has the duty to protect it?"
"Protector is not a dog." Arvina glared at Nux.
"Oh please Teacher, you of all people should talk like that.
Alright, tell me, what does Dowager Astaria do all day?
Where does she live?
When does she enjoy her life?
Why can no one ever see her?
When does she leave the Palace or even her room?"
Nux continued to question and Arvina turned silent.
She knew answered to all his questions, however, she didn\'t want to say it,
Her Teacher, Dowager Astaria, lives in the most lavish room of the Palace, a room that is exactly behind the Throne Room, the complete centre of the Palace,
However, although it may sound very grand and impressive,
In reality,
That room is also a cage that binds her teacher.
Her teacher rarely comes out of that room.
What she does inside that room, no one knows.
What she does in order to enjoy her life, no one knows.
The more she thought about it, the more Arvina felt that Nux\'s words were correct.
Her teacher was caged.
Seeing that her expression was changing, Nux smiled and then, he continued,
"The current King of the Skyfall Kingdom, what does he have?
What makes him the King of our Kingdom?
What good things has he ever done?
I have heard countless times that he is an Average King,
Why is an average man like him allowed to become the King?"
Hearing about the current King, Arvina\'s eyes turned cold.
Nux noticed that and his smile widened,
\'This is good, she doesn\'t like the current king, rather, from her expression, it is clear that she hates him.
Heh, King, my amazing friend,
You are just amazing,
Thank you very much, friend.\'
Nux smiled inwardly and then, he continued,
"Instead of a man like him, isn\'t it better for someone like me to become the King? I am sure I can do a far better job than him."
Nux smiled, however, suddenly, he noticed Arvina\'s expression changed into a smirk,
.
"You want to become the King?" She looked at him with a disdainful look on her face.
"I d-"
Nux wanted to answer, however, before he could, Arvina interrupted.
"You think you can do a better job than the current King?"
"I ca-"
Again, Nux was interrupted.
"So what if you can?"
"Huh?"
"There are many people who can do a far better job than him, heck, even a random commoner might be able to do better than him, however, if that is the case, then why was he the one who became the King?
Haven\'t you ever wondered that?"
"..." Nux turned silent.
"Let me answer that question for you,
The reason behind it is that he has Skyfall blood flowing through his veins.
No, Skyfall Blood doesn\'t have any unique property, it is the same as any other human\'s, however, right now, inside the Skyfall Kingdom, having Skyfall blood in your veins means that you are blessed.
It doesn\'t matter how bad he is, he will become the King just because he is a Skyfall.
That fact will remain unchanged until someone topples up the Skyfall.
Do you think a slightly better than the average leader can topple up the Royal Family?
Do you think an average leader would be able to rule the Kingdom after creating a Chaos like that?
What about the ministers?
What about the other nobles?
Dukes, Marquees, Earls, Viscounts and Barons,
What about the common people who are fed up after being ruled for so many years and want to live their own life as they want?
What about the opposite Kingdom who will direct their fangs towards us as soon as we show them our weak side?
Do you think you can take all of that yourself?
Do you think you are good enough to take care of all that trouble?"
"…"
Nux turned silent.
Arvina, however, wasn\'t done yet,
"It is very simple to just say, \'I want to become the King\'
However, it is not easy to become one,
What is your Goal?
Why do you want to become the King?
What is the reason?
Do you have anything like that?
Or do you want to become the King just because it sounds cool?"
Arvina questioned and again, Nux was speechless.
Goal…
What was his goal…?
Why was his reason to become the King…?
Did he even have any reason…?
Seeing him staying silent, Arvina scoffed,
"Nux, what you are thinking right now is nothing but an immature fantasy.
You are too immature to take that burden.
The current King might be an average King,
However, the Kingdom is stable,
And I am sorry to say this right in front of you,
But this Kingdom won\'t be stable if you take over as the King.
You are still too immature for that.
As you are right now, you do not have what it takes to overthrow the Skyfall Family and Rule the Kingdom as the King."
