the main seat casually sitting down I
have no tea to offer feel free to serve
yourselves dtin settled into the nearest
chair to her left while J Shang took the
seat opposite Lu ziming and the others
randomly chose their spots feeling they
were merely there to observe luiu and
Hong Yun retrieved drinks from their
system bags to distribute casually
inquiring if Eileen would like some
Eileen glanced at the peculiar bottles
in hang yunk hands initially intending
to refuse but inexplicably found herself
nodding Wang Yun held out a can of peach
flavored fruit wine with an alcohol
content of only 8° seeing Eileen's nod
she offered it to her and being consider
it even helped to open it this is fruit
wine quite different from what you
produce in the forest of elves but it's
rather Pleasant thank you Eileen replied
as she accepted the drink taking a
delicate IP it was indeed quite
enjoyable however her mind was not on
the wine she merely tasted it before
setting it down it was AC who summoned
you here wasn't it guonan candidly
affirmed yes he asked us to persuade you
to willingly marry him willingly Eileen
burst into a fit of laughter observing
her demeanor Ganan felt a Pang of
sympathy lady Eileen are you being held
against your will since her arrival she
had sensed an excess of guards
especially upon seeing the plaque with
sanjo inscribed on it coupled with
Eileen's reluctance in the impending
wedding leading her to suspect eileene
was indeed confined she had intended to
persuade eileene to attend the wedding
tomorrow to feain compliance and once
Freedom was regained seek an opportunity
to escape and this way they could
fulfill their mission Eileen remained
silent for a moment before shaking her
head no to guan's astonishment Eileen
outright denied it this left her utterly
perplexed I choose to stay here
willingly if I were to leave he would
destroy the forest of elves how could I
dare I am already a sinner among my kin
how could I bear to become a sinner for
the entire Forest of elves her tone was
steeped in sorrow her eyes reflecting
only pain and regret gone was The
Confident demeanor she once held as the
ninth Elder what the group was taken
aback in disbelief how could he L zian
questioned AC has held power for so long
and invested so much in the forest of
elves how could he possibly destroy it
what if he claims that acquiring this
power is merely a means to marry me
Eileen replied with self-mockery l Shu
shook her head I refuse to believe that
most men are driven by ambition if they
have tasted the sweetness of power they
won't easily relinquish it perhaps he
simply knows your vulnerabilities and is
coercing you into submission without
truly intending to act on such threats
eileene raised her gaze earnestly
regarding luciu you are correct but AC
is capable of such actions he knows how
to make me concede and I cannot
withstand it lady Eileen may I boldly
ask do you have feelings for for him if
you do why not cast aside societal
constraints and be together hang Yun
inquired with great curiosity I in her
perspective their relationship bore no
True Blood Ties at most it could be seen
as a teacher student romance and as long
as they loved each other such matters
should not pose an issue why must one
restrain themselves AC had taken 99
steps towards her all she needed to do
was take one step forward guon tion and
the others felt the question was
astutely posed the Crux of the matter
lay in whether Eileen truly harbored
feelings for Acy rather than being bound
by certain reasons that made her
unwilling to marry wasn't that merely
self-inflicted suffering Eileen's
complexion turned pale at the inquiry
luciu quickly grasped the implications
Eileen's feelings for AC were far from
innocent noting Eileen's silence she
reiterated if you like him then marry
