Bab 174: Expensive Pact

Arsinoe so desperately hoped to get a chance to beat the arrogance out of Artemis. 

However, since she couldn't leave her cell, she could only settle the matter with words for now. But she pictured it repeatedly in her mind to keep her sane.

[Let's make a pact. If I win against you, you'll hand over your title of [Captain] to me.]

Artemis scoffed in ridicule. [Why would I do that? What do I gain from such a pact?]

[You keep your pride as captain!] she smirked.

Artemis unexpectedly burst into laughter. [Such a thing doesn't matter to me. Win or lose I'll still be the same. Come up with something better if you want to tempt me into your foolishness.]

Arsinoe wrecked her brain to think of something to make him commit. But the only thing she could settle on was his dreadfully boring interest in plant matter. She then hesitated before speaking, wondering if she was making the right choice.
