“You have the Cauldron of the Dagda, right? Give it to me.”
Ethan’s statement contained no room for negotiation.
His words were like a heavenly decree that must be obeyed no matter what. The power of Authority was also imbued in them, which made Princess Ariel’s feel as if a great pressure had descended upon her shoulders.
“Your Highness, I obtained the Cauldron after suffering hardships on land,” Princess Ariel replied. “I don’t know how you knew about it, but this is something that I have risked my life to obtain. Even if it's your order, I can’t hand it over so easily, right?
“Of course, if you truly force me, then I will have no choice but to obey. But this ancient artifact is already soulbound to me, so you will not be able to use it unless you end my life.”
Princess Ariel faced Ethan’s gaze fearlessly, for it was true that she faced dangers in obtaining the Cauldron of the Dagda.
