Chapter 86
"Agreeing to be your partner if my wishes are fulfilled?" My suggestion seemed to transform her sorrowful face into one filled with innocent curiosity and wonder.
"Really...?"
Her demeanor, far removed from the historical records of a malevolent and ruthless ancient deity, evoked a sense of unfamiliarity.
"Not a lie, right?"
She looked almost like a child pleading with a parent, filled with simple, pure emotion. For a moment, I even doubted if she was the same being.
"Of course, as long as you keep the conditions I'm about to set..."
I trailed off, slightly embarrassed by my own words. Making such a commitment felt oddly shameful, almost as if I was proposing marriage.
"Hmm... Let's hear it then. If it's within my power, I'll grant your wishes."
She regained her composure, realizing the seriousness of the negotiation, prompting me to set aside unnecessary emotions.
