บท 163: Diplomacy (2) *

"Mother!" Jerin blurted out again. "They are already taking everything. Why are we the ones compensating?"

Arwen turned to her daughter. "That deal- it is not bad at all."

"But mother…" 

"Don't worry." Adrian chimed in. "According to the deal, you will still remain the rulers and everything will be the same. Moreover, we will also aid you with our best."

She scowled at Adrian; her pink bloodshot eyes betrayed rage. 

"Jerin, my child, look at me." The Queen Mother said with a loving tone.

Both of their pinkish eyes met. "Do you want us to fight a war on two fronts?" The older woman asked.

The young Queen just gritted her teeth and stayed silent in response.

The Queen mother finally turned to Adrian. "Tell." She sighed. "What do you want?"

Adrian smirked as she scanned the younger lady from top to bottom with a piercing gaze. The twenty four year old Queen got goosebumps from his blatant gaze.
