After returning from Duke Ward's dream, Lis did not rest, but instead stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the Ice Castle Palace, situated at the highest point of Ice Peak City.
Lis had thought that tonight would go smoothly and that he would successfully deceive Duke Ward, but now he was feeling a bit perplexed.
In his view, Duke Ward had been far too cautious and apprehensive.
It was hard to imagine that this was the same ruthless man who had boldly opened the Demon's Gate in the Royal Capital's Ice Peak City, causing countless civilians' deaths.
Lis felt that he had done everything he could: displaying his power, offering his support, and even purposely creating the impression that he wanted to replace the Ice and Snow Goddess Church, all to lure Duke Ward into cooperation.
But Duke Ward was still hesitating!
He was still hesitating!
