บท 51: Decision

"Have you made your decision?" Neonidas asked softly as he approached.

"Yes... I agree to be a well-behaved concubine for you, but you must set my mother free... And... I want to raise my child on my own."

Hearing Yuanna's tired voice, Neonidas smiled faintly, standing directly behind her and starting to caress her shoulder. "A wise decision. After tonight, I'm sure you'll realize that being with me might not be so bad."

"You must free my mother first..." Yuanna said without turning around. It seemed as though she was afraid to even look at his face, but she knew she couldn't escape her fate, and she understood that to suffer less, she had to accept it.

"I've already set your mother free. She's probably crossed through the teleportation portal and reached her family's home by now."
