Ash drew his lips into a thin line, he wanted to join hands with him but was it ok for him to do that? Will that give them a happy ending? The hesitation was written clearly on his face. Greed, the temptation is always secondary. The worst sin is love.
Love is the greatest sin of all, love makes you do the other sin. It's not his fault if someone gets tempted and falls into his trap. The only one to blame is the Almighty who created this game of love, he is just finding loopholes to win.
After a few minutes of thinking, Ash finally turned back towards Samuelson, "No, I don't want to." In a clear voice, Samuelson was surprised by his move. The evil smirk on his face disappeared, he never thought the guy would deny his invitation.
It was clear as day that Ash loved Sarael, even then he was ready to let her die in the name of faith. What a fool he was. Samuelson let out a laugh, thinking about his stupidity making Ash scared of it.
