The two talked for over half an hour, but neither got what they wanted.
Katherine was not skilled in negotiation.
In the past, whenever she needed to argue her point, a few gently spoken words from her would mostly cause her negotiation partners to yield.
If she frowned and showed a troubled expression, the other party would concede even more.
Katherine was well aware that this advantage came from her beauty, but she had grown accustomed to it over the years, dealing with those easily "persuaded" individuals.
And now, she had encountered Amberser.
After their initial meeting where the Lich had been affected by her charm, why was it now having no effect at all?
On the surface, Amberser maintained a polite smile, his gaze firmly on Katherine. In reality, he was putting in great effort to rein in his external perceptions, focusing on her words, trying his best not to "see" her.
