"Ehh… I was joking. Please ignore what I said earlier."
Joshua shook his hand in hope that Herolia wouldn't mind about his joke.
The nun lady was quite capable of controlling her emotions. There was no trace of displeasure on her face.
"Then, Mister Joshua… I wish to know the real reason why you refused. Is it because my bargaining chips aren't enough to satisfy you?" Herolia was not planning to give up so easily.
"No, I am more than satisfied with your offer. If my elder sister is sitting here instead, she will definitely agree to your proposal out of consideration for the Demon Realm's future." The smile disappeared from Joshua's face. With an expressionless look, he stared at the nun lady across from him, "I'm also considering accepting your proposal. But, even if I agree to it, did you really think the Nation of the Holy Church would agree to it?"
