Bab 314: Negotiations with a Goddess

The rogue king got up from his spot on the ground and began pacing about the clearing in front of the goddess. Celeste remained patient and followed his movement with her celestial gaze as the man gathered his thoughts, "I have so many questions."

"And I can answer some of them, but not all," the goddess replied.

"Okay then… are you against me?" the man asked her.

"You would believe that while you still breathe right in front of me?" the goddess sounded offended.

"Yes, I would. Countless of my people have died and you've brought up others to oppose me," the man argued.

"But alas, you're still standing even after everything that's come after you. What does that tell you? If I wanted you dead, I would merely order you to choke," the goddess shrugged.
