A toad wishing to eat swan meat
"Do you know what others call this? They call you a toad that wishes to eat swan meat." Rena laughed.
The responsibilities and burdens she had to bear from being the leader of her clan was too great for her to fall.
If she accepts Venn's terms, then if anything were to happen with Venn, her entire clan would suffer dire consequences as well.
Venn fell silent upon hearing Rena's words. He did not know that the Ancient contract was once a marriage contract that Gods once used. However, he still needed to find a way to restrain Rena, or else she could launch her troops at the mine if he had no way to deter her.
"How can I convince her? How?" Venn struggled to think of a perfect solution. Looking through his inventory and skills, he could not find such a way.
Sensing that the entire negotiation was slowly turning sour, he looked at Rena to analyze the situation in her shoes, overclocking his brain capacity to the maximum limit.
