In the halls of Arcus Kiss, amidst the battle harem representatives, none could hear the discussions between Dylan and Vanessa. Her words chastised the emperor like an elder rebuking a child.
"Because of you saving us, he will never attack you. And you may call on him three times due to the favors he owes you. However, he will no longer assist you beyond the BHR. We all felt his immeasurable disappointment through our link. I just thought you should know."
Angry at the tone and words of the woman in front of him, Dylan responded in a heated manner.
"What do you mean? I maneuvered him to defeat these thorns on my side, so what? Didn't he do the same? No one is inherently noble Lady Vanessa, we are all just vile schemers that use or get used! Why am I the evil one for using the hands I got on my own!"
