Negotiation

Seeing the arrival of the traitor Esbern with his nonchalant attitude, coupled with the sight of his nephew in chains as he struggled to stay conscious in space, it couldn't help but rattle the Zodiac King.

As he was trying hard to hold back the beast blood that was violently churning within him, Alduin closed his eyes for a moment, before opening them again and speaking in a calm tone. 

"Did you bring me here just to threaten me?"

The question caused another smile to bloom on the female supreme magus as she casually replied and threw another question instead. "Do you feel threatened?"

Upon hearing that, Alduin glanced at Zach and still with a composed tone, he said, "No. My nephew is a warrior. He knew full well the risks of war, so just kill him already. Then we can resume our battle."

Sounds of applause rang out from the Abyss Queen.

"Well said. I admit, you do have the charisma of a King."
