YM778.TV Chapter 444 Astaria Skyfall.
Ricardus, the King of the Strongest Kingdom, replied as he bowed his head with a respectful look on his face.
In front of her, sat a woman wearing a red-black gown, the woman had long black hair, brown eyes, a thin nose, and light pink lips, the woman had an alluring hourglass figure and a beautiful face, however, her sword-like eyebrows and cold eyes didn\'t allow anyone to appreciate her beauty.
The woman had a fierce aura around her that commanded absolute obedience, her intimidating aura didn\'t allow anyone to look directly look at her face or her body, the only available option was to bow your head while addressing her.
Even the King of the Strongest Kingdom wasn\'t an exception.
She was Astaria Skyfall. The Strongest Cultivator in this world and the sole reason why the Skyfall Kingdom stood out as the Strongest Cultivator even though it was ruled by an incompetent King.

"I seek your assistance, Lady Astaria."
Ricardus spoke in a respectful tone.
His, words, however, did not bring any change to Astaria\'s expressionless face,
"I do not know what games are you trying to play, Ricardus. Just know that I won\'t be playing any of this stupid game with you.
Leave."
"But-"
Ricardus tried to argue, however, he turned silent when Astaria raised her hand.
With her sharp eyes, Astaria glanced at Ricardus, the King stepped back out of instincts and Astaria questioned.
"How do you know that the Emperor of the Solid Earth Kingdom is moving? What is your source?"
"I have not come to you without any proof, Lady Astaria,"
Ricardus then told her about the recent events where Solid Earth Kingdom, the supposedly weakest Kingdom defeated the Woods Dynasty one-sidedly. He also told her about how Ember, the General of the Woods Dynasty left the Dynasty.
"General Ember was not a Coward, Lady Astaria. If she left, there must be a reason, however, when I brought up this topic while talking to the Dynast of the Wood Dynasty, he tried to change the topic.
His behavior was strange, therefore, I decided to investigate.
I had some people sneak into Woods Army, my people then had a talk with Deputy General named Lawrence, he was General Ember\'s closest subordinate.
Thinking that he would know why General Ember left, I sent my subordinate to talk to him.
He told me that General Ember found out how the Emperor of the Solid Earth Kingdom was involving himself in this war, she reported this to the Dynast and asked for his assistance, however, the Dynast refused, forcing her to leave."
The King reported everything.
"And the random Deputy General knew about the existence of an Emperor? You think I am a fool?"
Astaria narrowed her eyes.
"He was not a random Deputy General, he was General Ember\'s clo-"
Ricardus tried to argue, however, again, Astaria raised her hand and ordered,
"Enough.
An Emperor will never move unless his or her country is in danger.
Come to me when you actually see the Emperor with your own eyes.
Don\'t be fooled by any random Grand Master Stage Cultivator.
Now Leave."
After saying those words, Astaria closed her eyes, signaling that she would not hear anything else.
Ricardus didn\'t know what to do…
\'I would die if I see him with my own eyes…\'
He thought inwardly, however, he knew saying anything else was useless, therefore, he decided to walk out and think of something else.
\'I need solid proof.\'
With that thought in mind, he walked out of Astaria\'s room.
However, as soon as he walked out of the room, Keeve, who was waiting for him outside bowed his head.
"Your Highness, this is bad."
"What happened?"
Ricardus frowned, it was very unusual for Keeve to act like this.
"Third Prince Lovis was assassinated! The Suspects are Second Princess Evane!"
"WHAT!?"
Ricardus\'s eyes widened in surprise.
Inside Astaira\'s room, Astaria, who had closed her eyes, opened them again when she heard Keeve\'s words. She sneered.
"Killing her own Brother, heh, Ricardus, I expected nothing less from your children."
Then, her eyes shined with curiosity,
"I would like to see how you would handle things, Ricardus."
Saying those words, Astaria stood up.
Yes, she had decided to come out.
Astaria walked out of her room, seeing her coming out, Ricardus and Keeve\'s eyes widened in surprise, Keeve quickly fell on his knee and greeted her respectfully.
"Dowager."
Astaria, however, narrowed her eyes, hatred was clear in her eyes.
"Do not call me that."
Keeve momentarily glanced at Ricardus and then greeted her again,
"Lady Astaria."
"Much better."
Astaria nodded her head, she then turned her head towards Ricardus and questioned with a curious look on her face,
"I heard your daughter killed your son, how are you going to punish her, Ricardus? I am sure, you, as a just king already have thought about this, haven\'t you?"
"Lady Astaria, Evane is just a suspect right now, we don\'t know if she is actually the Killer or not."
Keeve spoke up as well, "That is correct, Lady Astaria. Although she is the prime suspect, that is only because the two of them were together last night when they were attacked.
To be honest, she is more of a victim than a suspect."
A frown appeared on Astaria\'s face.
"They were attacked?"
"Yes, we have found 6 assassins\' bodies in Second Princess\'s room, the room where The Third Prince and Second Princess were in last night."
Keeve reported.
"6 Assassins entered the Royal Palace and attacked Second Princess and Third Prince?"
Astaria raised her eyebrows.
Ricardus turned away.
"Lady Astaria, we needed our men to investigate the Solid Earth Kingdom and Woods Dynasty, therefore, the Palace\'s defense was compensated."
Hearing that, Astaria sneered,
"They really found a perfect time to attack, didn\'t they?"
"…"
"…"
Keeve and Ricardus didn\'t say anything.
"Call the Second Princess, I need to talk to her."
Astaria ordered.
