Chapter 78: A Compromise

Laina pondered over the situation and offered a solution, "I hear you, Nyx. How about this? I'll appoint Alum as the assistant leader."

This was bait. Laina wanted to see how Nyx would respond. Would she take the compromise, or stay true to what she was fighting for? 

"No," Nyx replied as she shook her head.

Alum could not believe this. The Crown Princess had offered a compromise but Nyx still did not accept it.

"Nyx, what are you doing?!" He whispered to her.

"I'm fighting for what's right!" She replied before turning back to face Laina.

"Your Highness, I'm not trying to be difficult. But I don't think Kol would make a suitable leader."

"Why not?" Laina could not help but ask.

"First of all, he's your personal bodyguard, and does he have a master seal contract with you? This means he will listen to you regardless of whether your decision is right or wrong.
