"Are you sure you wanted to accept those terms?" asked Amelia as we walked out of the main hall, making our way outside.
"I didn't have a choice. King Roy's support was a necessity," I responded calmly, already beginning to focus on the next step of the plan.
"I know. So you'll be trying to kill Jay?"
"Hm?" I mumbled, turning to face the S-rank, "Oh, at least to some extent. My honor as a royal was on the line, so I couldn't outright lie, but I just interpreted the King's words in a way that worked for me. All I have to do is kill the part of Jay that is currently dominating his mind and body, so to a certain degree, yes, I'll be killing him."
"And you also agree to the contract. Not bad, Asthia," said Amelia, smiling.
"Either way, we need to focus on the Fei now. I was thinking of just walking into their camp. What do you think?"
"You want to walk straight in?!"
Hope you guys enjoyed the double release today!
These last few chapters were packed with dialogue, and it will probably continue like this for a bit. I guess that's inevitable when negotiations are involved, though.
Thanks for reading <3
