She had met Serina only once, but listening to her words, she already knew they were excessive people.
‘But to find out that far. It’s not an easy opponent.’
He was indeed the Emperor of the Empire. He knew too well how to make the other person move according to his intentions.
“But if I go back to Aodin?”
“Ah, I didn’t tell you the most important thing.”
Shuher leaned forward with an expression of surprise, as if he had just remembered something he had forgotten, and showed that cold gaze of courtesy. It was quite a leisurely gesture, like a predator with prey in front of it.
“I can’t just stand by and see it become a good thing for Aodin, something I can’t have. Rather, I’ll make sure no one can have it.”
The content was utterly creepy, in contrast to the faint smile on his lips.
“It’s a threat in the end.”
“Let’s call it persuasion.”
“I’m not sure if Your Majesty knows that it has no credibility at all.”
What Shuher was doing was nothing more than a threat disguised as persuasion. If she didn’t move as he wanted, he would rather kill her.
So that she couldn’t strengthen Aodin.
‘Is this how it ends up?’
Evenel had anticipated enough that the situation would turn out like this. So now it was time to hear her answer.
“So is this all the cards Your Majesty has?”
Even though Shuher’s eyes were low and chilly, she looked straight into his eyes with a relaxed smile.
“Your Majesty was wrong in your last words. I belong to no one. Whether I’m anywhere, whoever the opponent is, even without this ability, that fact won’t change.”
Whether it was unexpected or not, Shuher’s eyes sparkled for a moment, and at the same time, a palpable tension flowed between the two.
Whether he took it as a rejection, the atmosphere was about to become fierce when Evenel’s smile instantly shattered it.
“But I will accept Your Majesty’s proposal.”
Contrary to her words, Shuher was relieved that she accepted so obediently. If she hadn’t moved as he wanted, even after all this, he would have been ready to see blood.
“You’re quite a negotiator.”
“We’re just getting started.”
“You want something.”
“If Your Majesty receives something, it would only be fair for me to receive something as well.”
Watching the conversation between the two from behind Shuher, Demil was astonishingly bewildered.
No one had ever spoken so boldly before Emperor Shuher. No, they didn’t even dare to think about negotiating with him.
They just accepted, bowing their heads naturally.
For Shuher, it was much easier for her to just plainly state what she wanted.
“What exactly do you want?”
“I will help you when you need my ability. I will stay in the palace for a while, so please make sure I can’t be taken back to Aodin later. And there is a deadline.”
“A deadline?”
The word “deadline” caused Shuher’s expression to harden somewhat. Setting a deadline would be to his disadvantage, as no one knew when the demon might cease to appear.
Evenel, who discerned what he was thinking, waved her hand to indicate that wasn’t what she meant.
“I’m not talking about a physical deadline.”
“Then?”
“Until the power I have becomes meaningless to you.”
He did not readily understand why she set such a condition. There would be no such thing as long as the demon kept appearing.
He would not be unaware that it was disadvantageous to him.
Of course, Evenel knew it too. But in this world, she knew one thing very clearly.
‘Surely a female protagonist with the same ability as me will appear. Then there will be no reason for me to be here.’
Evenel decided to stay here only until then. Underneath the lamp is dark, and under the lamp of the Emperor of Karies, it would be safest.
Of course, she did not act like a fool to say that fact.
“Nobody knows the future. For example, the demon might disappear, or someone with the same ability as me might appear in Karies.”
From Shuher’s standpoint, it was an absurd story, but he immediately nodded his head. It was a condition that was not bad for him.
“Another thing.”
“If I leave the palace, please give me the money corresponding to the help with a new identity.”
“Sure.”
He gladly accepted it since it was not an unreasonable condition. It was so simple that he even doubted if there was another purpose.
“These are my conditions.”
“Is that really all?”
“Yes, this is enough for me.”
“Looking at your reaction, you’ve decided everything already.”
Evenel had pondered greatly on that part from the beginning. Whether to return to Aodin somehow, or stay here to help Karies.
If she spoke of her situation, she could surely return to Aodin. Aodin also needed her power just the same.
But when she calmly assessed the situation to go back, she realized that choosing the latter was much more advantageous.
‘If I go to Aodin, I will be imprisoned for life.’
On the other hand, in Karies, she could ensure her safety in return for her abilities, negotiating with Shuher what they wanted from each other.
Perhaps even more than when she was in Aodin. Because Karies was in a more desperate situation.
Another reason was that there were no people here who knew Evenel. So there would be no one to doubt that she had changed.
‘And maybe having this ability…’
She forcibly erased the thoughts that came to mind and met Shuher’s eyes.
“You must keep your promise. I will do the same.”
“Sure.”
“Then I look forward to working with you.”
Evenel was willing to be in this man’s clutches. There’s a saying that the enemy’s enemy is an ally.
Since the negotiation was well concluded, she naturally reached out to Shuher. The one who first moved was Demil, who was standing behind.
He instinctively blocked the extended hand.
“What are you doing now?”
To Demil, she was still an untrustworthy person. The fact that she was a person from Aodin was a big reason, and she might have something to hide.
“I’m trying to shake hands.”
When she had a thought that maybe there were no handshakes in this world by the reaction of the two, Demil spoke.
“You cannot first ask for a handshake from His Majesty.”
She was about to ask why, but suddenly the hierarchy of this place came to mind. If the other person had been an elderly adult, she would not have asked for a handshake, but since they appeared to be of similar age, she did not realize it at the moment.
“Oh, sorry…”
As Evenel awkwardly withdrew her hand, just before it completely moved away, Shuher grasped it.
There was no particularly displeased look on his face. Rather, he seemed more pleased.
“Let’s get along well from now on, Lady Evenel.”
“I’m the one to ask for your favor.”
Evenel only hoped that the day of regretting this choice would never come.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
