Once Valefor raised his question, Thanatos immediately shuddered and felt regretful about returning to Valefor.
Why did he come when he had already decided to avoid interacting with Valefor as much as possible?
Was there no way to avoid him?
Thanatos decided that the next time he had an opportunity to leave, he would hide in his territory and not come out again.
"Do I still have to give you a gift, Your Excellency?" Thanatos asked carefully, hoping he wouldn't be included since Valefor had already taken his best treasure.
However, Valefor glanced at him with a sly smile, replying, "What do you think?"
"Please forgive me for coming unprepared, Your Excellency," Thanatos sighed and said, "As an apology, I hope you can visit my territory to pick out something you like. I believe it is better than me offering you something you may not like."
