Nux questioned with an extremely joyful look on his face.

Seeing that face, Ember frowned,

"Why do you look so happy after hearing that?"

"Oh… Ah, I mean,"

Nux\'s face then turned solemn and he questioned.

"It seems that the relation between you and the Dynast is not very healthy, is that true?"

Ember\'s face twitched when she noticed how quickly Nux\'s expression changed, however, in the end, she just shook his head and answered,

"Yes, you are correct, the relationship between me and the Dynast isn\'t good."

"Why?" Nux questioned out of curiosity.

Ember then glanced at Nux for a while and then, she answered,

"It started 10 years ago when the previous Dynast of the Kingdom died of illness and his oldest son took over and became the new Dynast of the Dynasty.

The new Dynast was strong, thoughtful, and mature, however, he had one weakness, his extreme lust.

After I returned to the Capital to greet the new Dynast, I caught that man\'s eye and he asked me to be his woman, I, of course, rejected that offer.

My condition was simple, defeat me and ask what you want from me.

However, since the Dynast is only an Expert Stage Cultivator, he wasn\'t strong enough to defeat me as you did, neither was he brave enough to challenge me, nor was he patient enough to wait and become stronger in order to defeat.

He chose the easiest way possible.

And that was to use his newly gained power and force me into marrying him.

However, I, who has been serving as a General of the Dynasty for so long had a considerable amount of influence as well.

The Dynast soon realized that his methods won\'t work on me and since then, he has been holding a grudge against me.

This is not the first time something like this has happened, he had tried to get his revenge on me before as well,

Sometimes, he would cut short our food supply, sometimes, he would ask us to do impossible missions with less manpower or something like that. His goal was simple, he wanted to take away my position as the General of the Dynasty and once my influence weakens, he would use that chance to force me into marrying him.

However, I did not give in, me and my soldiers still charged through and passed all his trials without giving him any chance to complain.

Things were going well but I never expected that the Dynast would take the involvement of the Emperor Stage Cultivator so lightly and use it to pressure me again.

This is simply ridiculous, he is not thinking about the lives of the Soldiers serving the Dynasty at all!"

Ember smashed the table in front of him in anger.

Nux, who heard everything frowned.

This story wasn\'t really surprising, a perverted ruler going after a beautiful woman, it was a pretty common story, heck, with how beautiful Ember is, he could completely relate with the Dynast. Of course, his steps were too extreme and he was a moron, but still, they both had the same initial thought,

Ember was beautiful and they both wanted her all for themselves.

He could understand what the Dynast was thinking, what he couldn\'t understand was what Ember was thinking.

"If the Dynast treated you so unfairly, then why did you not quit your position yourself?"

"Won\'t I just be giving him exactly what he wants if I do that?"

Ember questioned.

"Huh?"

Nux did not understand.

"There is a reason why the Dynast wants to take away my position so desperately.

That bastard is playing a long game, after my position is gone, a few years later, my achievements would be forgotten and the influence I hold will weaken.

Once my influence is not strong enough to protect me anymore, the Dynast would pressure me into marrying him and I won\'t be able to reject him.

So giving up on my position is just playing right into his hands." Ember explained.

Hearing this, Nux\'s frown deepened,

"Is it worth going through so many troubles for?

Why not just leave the Dynasty and settle somewhere else?"

"Settle somewhere else? Where?

In any other Kingdom? Do you think any Kingdom would agree to let the General of the enemy nation live in their land?"

Ember questioned.

"Why not hide your identity?"

Nux questioned.

"Again, do you think, I, as a King Stage Cultivator can hide my identity so easily?"

"There are those wandering cultivators, right? The cultivators who live in seclusion, avoiding all the troublesome situations and only getting involved in something that actually interests them, can\'t you live like that?"

Ember shook her head,

"If I was a Wandering Cultivator from the start, I would have been able to do that, however, I am the General of the Woods Dynasty, there are certain things that I know that a normal wandering cultivator shouldn\'t know.

The Enemy nations would try their best to capture me and extract the information they want, and my own nation…

Well, since the Ruler of the nation wants me, there aren\'t many places where I can hide and live freely."

A long sigh then escaped Ember\'s mouth and she continued,

"In the end, being the General of the Army, defending the Dynasty, and strengthening my influence is the only way for me to live safely and independently."

"…"

Nux turned silent and started thinking about everything more deeply.

Today, he finally realized how strong the Ruler of the Nation is.

Even though he is just an Expert Stage Cultivator, he has the power to trouble a strong King Stage Cultivator like Ember, and he is not even using his trump card yet.

\'Teacher Arvina… you asked me why I wanted to become the King, right?

You asked me what my goal is, right?

I think I finally found the answer to that answer.\'

A strange shine lit up in Nux\'s beautiful eyes, he then looked at Ember and questioned,

"Ember Windstar, do you trust me?"
