Difficult to Control
It turned out that the Snake Clan appeared once more. But this time, Krune was not there to help. In the end, Ruik made a quick deal with Tiane. He would do anything she wanted as long as she helped with the situation.
Tiane immediately accepted the idea. Just like that, Ruik brought her close, and they pretended to have a relationship right there and then. Although Tiane was taken aback by that situation, she didn't show it on her face, and ultimately, they were successful in driving the female Snake that came this time around.
Once things were finished, the two immediately separated, and Tiane used her favor straight away. For one entire month, Ruik had to do whatever she said. If not, she didn't mind contacting the Snake Clan, telling them the truth. Ruik might be the way he is, but he still knew how to repay favors.
Since then, Ruik had been there for Tiane's every call. That is also why he looked so gloomy.
