Bab 312: Half of Crystal

As Ella was about to break the deal, Elder Hilda could only step up and smooth things over.

Upon seeing this, Ezra did not persist in her request, merely giving an alternate suggestion, "Since that is the case, I want half of that 1000 feet duct beast's  crystals."

Elder Hilda immediately had something to say about this.

However, Ella Abella was faster. "Deal." She rather split the benefits than yield.

In addition, she did not want to owe the prince anything. After all, Ezra caused this all mess by mistake and owing him would be a shame for her. Hence, splitting half of the Duct Creation Energy would be perfect, with everyone getting what they needed and no one owing anyone else anything. It would also prevent her from feeling indebted to Ezra when they met again.

This was something the prideful Ella could not accept.
