"Do you want power as well?" Tang Shaoyang could not understand what the woman in front of him was thinking about.
"No. I don't want the power, but I want my husband and son's safety. I want you not to kill them!" Ava said something unexpected.
"Huh!?" Tang Shaoyang blinked his eyes a few times as he tried to confirm that he did not hear things. "Do you think I will kill the Legend Rank Elven and Epic Rank soldiers? Why do you think so?"
"I don't know what's in your mind. You have told us not to kill the elder, women, and children in the war against the Lionax Kingdom, but you killed them anyway." Ava revealed her concern. "You can say you will not kill my husband and my son today, but I don't know what will happen in the future. You may change your mind at the end of their service."
"Alright, into the main thing. Do you know what Viona gave to me then?" Tang Shaoyang questioned Ava. "Do you know the content of our deal?" In response to that question, Ava shook her head. Even in the night, Elven had a sharp sight, but their hearing was not as sharp as their sight, so she could not hear the deal that night. She only knew that Viona gave her body to Tang Shaoyang for a night.
"I see." Tang Shaoyang nodded his head. "Do you think it's just a one-night deal, right?" In response to this, Ava nodded her head. After that night, she did not see the two do it again. So she thought it was just a one-night deal.
Tang Shaoyang shook his head and let out a sigh. "Alright, you can get out now. As for your husband and your son, they will be safe. I will not kill them unless they do something stupid, like betraying me. Let's forget our conversation and consider this conversation never happened."
'Who's going to trust your words.' Ava did not trust Tang Shaoyang's words, not someone who easily slaughtered the children and elders of his own kind. "I want to hear the details of your deal with Viona."
Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh and stood up from the chair. He approached the window and looked outside. "I don't understand why you are so stubborn? Do you have a problem with your husband? No, if you have a problem with your husband, you won't make this kind of deal. I can't understand a woman at all."
Tang Shaoyang then glanced to the back, and Ava was still standing in front of the door, staring at him with her stubborn gaze. "The deal is simple. Viona gave her soul and body to me in exchange for the power to avenge her husband, who died at the hand of the Revolution Army."
He then turned around to face Ava. "Do you still want to make the deal? That means you will lose your husband forever either way, with the deal or without the deal if you think I am going to kill your husband for no reason."
Ava's face paled as she was not expecting that answer at all. She thought it was just a night kind of deal, but she was wrong. Like Lord Tang Shaoyang said, she lost her husband even making a deal with him. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist.
Since the day Tang Shaoyang slaughtered the civilians in Yorutuba City, she had been plagued by nightmares. She kept dreaming her husband and son died in the battle, and she later found out that it was Lord Tang Shaoyang's scheme all along. That kind of nightmares plagued her nights until she came to a resolution.
However, there was no way she could agree with the deal. She could not sell her soul and body to this man as it was the same as she lost her husband.
Tang Shaoyang shook his head and waved his hand. "Leave. I told you that I would not kill your husband and son. There's no reason for me to kill those who have contributed to my Empire. There's no need for you to worry." Shaking his head, he returned to his chair and closed his eyes.
'You keep saying you will not kill my husband, but you don't want to give me an assurance like the System Contract. Do you think you can fool me?' After being haunted by the nightmares and Yorutuba incident, Ava was not trusting Tang Shaoyang that easily.
He did not hear the sound of the opening door, and then he opened his eyes only to see Ava was right in front of him. Her face flushed red while looking at him in the eyes. "Let's change the deal," Ava said with determination in her eyes.
'You keep saying you will not kill my husband, but you don't want to give me an assurance like the System Contract. Do you think you can fool me?' After being haunted by the nightmares and Yorutuba incident, Ava did not trust Tang Shaoyang that easily.
"Hah…." Tang Shaoyang let out another sigh. A woman was hard to deal with, whether she was a human or an Elf. "Even if you change the deal, you will lose your husband. Don't you understand that? Your relationship will never be the same anymore once you do this behind your husband. Leave before I change my mind, Woman."
"NO!" It was a firm rejection from the former Elven Queen. "Let's change the deal. I will be yours within seventy years. I can be your sex slave or even the heartless assassin who will do you dirty work. In exchange, I want you to guarantee my husband and son's lives! That's the deal."
Tang Shaoyang laughed when he heard that. Seventy years might be short for Elven, but that was more than enough for him to conquer her. "You really don't know what you are doing, Ava? The problem is not the deal itself, but me. Once you do it with me, you will never go back to your husband."
"I am different from the cheap women you have encountered, Lord Tang Shaoyang. My love for my husband is eternal." Ava did not back down despite being told to leave repeatedly.
