章 12: Chapter 12 : Future Plans

In the dining room, Nyx and Sora were meticulously setting the table with delicious food.

Nyx complexion was still slightly pale.

"Grandma Sora, is His Highness truly alright? I saw him explode into mist," Nyx asked, bewildered.<

"For the umpteenth time, His Highness is perfectly fine, so please cease your worrying. How many times must I reassure you?" Sora replied, rolling her eyes.

Then, with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, she added, "Let me tell you a secret - His Highness has become even more handsome."

Nyx was taken aback. "What do you mean?" she inquired, just as Sora was about to respond.

Suddenly, a magnetic voice interrupted them from behind. "Nyx, are you awake? Are you alright?"

Startled, Nyx turned around to see a figure so strikingly perfect that her heart skipped a beat. Her face flushed red, her heart racing, she was captivated by the sight of the most handsome man she had ever seen.

"Why are you staring? Is there something on my face?" Nexus chuckled, noticing Nyx's dazed expression.

Shaking herself out of her reverie, Nyx stammered, "Your Highness, is that really you?" Her voice trembled with emotion.

"Yes, it's me in the flesh. Did you think I perished when I exploded into mist?" Nexus asked, a smile playing on his lips.

Nyx nodded, still in a daze, before rushing into Nexus's arms, sobbing loudly.

Nexus, taken aback, patted her back gently," Ok look I'm perfectly fine and have even regained my strength ".

After Nyx's tears subsided, she gazed at Nexus's handsome face.

"Have you finished crying? You can continue if you haven't finished crying" Nexus teased.

While listening to Nexus teasing her, Nyx's face flushed with embarrassment as she quickly pulled away from his arms. Her heart raced like a startled deer.

She couldn't help but notice how handsome His Highness had become, causing her to nervously fidget with the edge of her dress.

"Let's eat before the food gets cold," Nexus said with a smile as he led the way to the dining table.

As he surveyed the meal, he noted that it was the same as before. Nexus wasn't particular about food, understanding that they were currently low on funds. All their money had been spent on healing pills for his recovery.

Nexus took a seat and gestured for Kassius and the others to join him. They all gathered around the table, enjoying their meal.

Nyx, on the other hand, couldn't help but steal furtive glances at Nexus, her face still flushed with embarrassment.

After a few moments, Nexus set down the spoon he had been holding and gazed at Kassius, Sora, and Nyx with a grave expression. Immediately, Kassius and the others ceased eating and also placed their spoons down, fixing their attention on Nexus.

"Grandpa Kassius, have you not yet discovered the name of this continent?" Nexus inquired with a serious demeanor.

"Your Highness, when you tasked me with investigating our whereabouts a few days ago, I made inquiries and discovered that this land is known as the Heavenglow Continent," Kassius reported after rising briefly from his seat.

"Heavenglow Continent?" Nexus was taken aback by the peculiar name of the land.

"And why is it called Heavenglow?" Nexus inquired of Kassius, regaining his composure.

"I am unaware of the reasoning behind the name, Your Highness," Kassius replied humbly.

"Very well, let us set that aside for now. I shall delve into it later," Nexus dismissed the topic casually with a wave of his hand.

Taking a deep breath, Nexus turned his gaze once more to Kassius, Sora, and Nyx, his expression softening as a gentle smile graced his features. These individuals were the only companions he had left in his life, and he was truly grateful for their presence.

"It is important for you all to understand that we are now alone in this world. Since our exile from the Kingdom, it is no longer our home. We must establish our own place and rely on each other," Nexus began, his tone serious.

Kassius and the others nodded solemnly.

With a determined expression, Nexus declared, "As I have been stripped of my title as prince and falsely accused, I have resolved to build my own Kingdom."

The shocked expressions on the faces of Kassius, Sora, and Nyx were evident as Nexus continued, "I understand that establishing a Kingdom from the ground up is an immense challenge, but I am determined to succeed and I seek your support in this endeavor. Together, we can carve out our place in the world, construct our Kingdom, and aspire to surpass even the esteemed Blue Moon Kingdom. Let us work towards our goals with unity and determination "Nexus declared with a powerful and confident aura emanating from his body.

Nexus's eyes gleamed with determination as he spoke.

He was not merely boasting when he expressed his desire to establish his own Kingdom. Despite facing setbacks in the past, including damage to his cultivation and banishment from the Blue Moon Kingdom, Nexus had persevered.

He possessed a wealth of knowledge stored in his mind, which he believed could be leveraged to start a successful business in this new world.Although he knew it would be incredibly difficult to survive in this world were strength reigns supreme,

But now Nexus was grateful for the opportunity presented to him by the Heavens.

With the Origin Tower, he saw a chance to rise above his previous limitations and achieve greatness. The treasures within the tower, including books on cultivation and martial arts techniques, as well as valuable maps and a rare bloodline, provided him with the tools necessary to surpass even the mighty Blue Moon Kingdom.

Furthermore, Nexus's modern knowledge, accessible with a mere thought, set him apart from others in this world of conquest. He saw the Astheria World as a stage for his ambitions, a place where he could prove himself as the greatest conqueror and emperor of all time.

With unwavering determination and a strategic mindset, Nexus was ready to embark on his journey towards establishing his own Kingdom and achieving unparalleled success.

Kassius Sora and Nyx wore expressions of shock as they gazed at Nexus.

Nexus' eyes gleamed as he spoke, "Previously, I mentioned that I had a supreme opportunity while I was in a coma." Kassius and the others nodded, their faces blank. "I cannot disclose the details of this opportunity, but I can assure you that it will aid me in swiftly establishing a Kingdom and potentially surpassing the Blue Moon Kingdom. Will you support me on this conquest?" Nexus took a deep breath.

Kassius snapped out of his daze, stood up solemnly, and knelt before Nexus. "Your Highness, I am willing to serve you faithfully and follow you on your path of conquest." Nyx and Sora were about to follow suit when Nexus stopped them.

"Grandpa Kassius, please rise," Nexus said, helping Kassius to his feet. He looked at the three individuals before him with warmth in his heart, nodding in satisfaction.

"Your Highness, we will support you on your journey," Nyx said eagerly.

"Yes, Your Highness, we will give our best efforts," Sora added.

" Me too, me too I also want to help " Jade enthusiastic voice echoed in his mind.

Nexus chuckled at Jade's enthusiastic voice in his mind. "And you too, Jade" .

" Okay, everyone, please sit down," Nexus said. He turned to Kassius and inquired about the current situation of the Purple Thorn Kingdom.

Before Kassius could respond, Nexus interrupted, having already received some updates from him earlier.

"Everyone, return to your rooms and rest. The days ahead will be hectic," Nexus said, waving his hand dismissively. "Prepare yourselves for what lies ahead."
