Chapter 1108: Dreams, Desire, and Diplomacy [Part 2]
"Say, if I give you my life essence regularly, will you swear to be a loyal ally to me and me alone?" Zia asked, which almost made Princess Xynalia choke on her saliva.
"W-What?!" Princess Xynalia asked, stuttering. "What do you mean by that?"
"I want the Velmoria Royal Family as my ally," Zia repeated. "However, they will not be the ally of the Wanderers, but my exclusive ally.
"Simply put, although you will keep your status of neutrality, you will always support me in my decisions. Aside from Princess Laventia, you are the one who has the final word on your faction, right?"
"W-Well, you’re not wrong," Princess Xynalia replied. "I am indeed the one who has the last word in our faction."
"Then good." Zia nodded. "Do you accept my proposal?"
Princess Xynalia wasn’t able to reply right away. As much as she wanted to give her answer, there was a lump in her throat that blocked her from saying anything.

"I’m afraid I cannot make that decision right away," Princess Xynalia said as soon as she managed to regain her composure. "I need to talk to my sister and my Aunt. Also, I don’t think they will agree if I tell them that we are going to ally with you and only you in exchange for your life essence.
"I mean, isn’t that strange? Just for your life essence? Do you really think that the succubus race will move for such a reason?"
