Armipotent

Even though Duran Ambrose said that they would talk later, he thought they would get to know each other during the meal. However, the opposite party thought differently as he was devouring the food. From the venison steak to the bear steak, to one dish to another dish. He emptied the food on the middle table.

Duran shot a glance at his daughter with an inquiry gaze, 'What is this? I thought he was an Emperor from another world? He does not have the bearing of an Emperor?'

But then Duran found out that her daughter was in a daze. Ashley was playing the mashed potato on her plate with her spoon while casting an empty gaze forward. The father did not know that his daughter had her problem too.

Ashley was thinking about her relationship with Tang Shaoyang. Now they have done it, what should she do about it? Should she regard that as nothing happened between them? That was for the best. However, for some reason, there was a string that made her unwilling to do so. She did not want the relationship to be over just like this.

'What? What is this? Why I suddenly don't want to get separated from him? What happened to me? Did he drug me?' Ashley could not believe her thoughts. She then looked at the man who was busy devouring the food as if he had not eaten for weeks.

If she had to compare Tang Shaoayang with Prince Chandler, Prince Chandler was more handsome than this man. However, there were the things she did not know that caused her to get attracted to the man. Because she could not stop looking at Tang Shaoyang.

Just like that, they had a meal quietly with occasionally Tang Shaoyang's knife clashing against the plate. It was not awkward since Tang Shaoyang only focused on the food. Selena noticed that the host wanted to say something, but she did not bother to remind Tang Shaoyang. She kept bringing more food for her man instead.

Tang Shaoyang was holding the tall glass in his hand with wine. Looking at how thin the glass was, he tried to control his strength, less he broke the glass. Then he drank the wine that filled the glass in one gulp. On the other side, Selena chuckled and said in a soft voice, "That's not the way to drink wine. You should drink the wine slowly, enjoying the taste carefully."

"Cough! Cough!" Duran purposely coughed to get Tang Shaoyang's attention. It worked as the man looked at him now, "I have heard everything from my daughter, but before that…" Duran stood up and put his right hand on his left chest, "My name is Duran Ambrose, the current head of the Ambrose Family."

Tang Shaoyang stood up and said his name, "Tang Shaoyang, The Emperor of The Empire of Tang."

Duran Ambrose nodded and seated back. His gentle smile had disappeared as a solemnity replaced it, "I have heard it all that you want to start an attack on the Lionax Kingdom."

Tang Shaoyang did not deny that as he nodded, "Hmm, I want to attack the Lionax Kingdom before they send another force to my world."

"We have the same goal, I think we can work together on that. However, before we continue the conversation, I want you to free our knights and also my daughter from the oath. Gaining trust from your ally is the most important thing to form an alliance," Duran Ambrose smiled at Tang Shaoyang. He thought the man would agree with this.

"No, I will never relieve the oath. While doing so can gain trust, but you have done nothing to gain my trust." Tang Shaoyang shook his head.

—Summon Crystal. With Crystal, you will have the Ambrose Family under your order. After the Ambrose Family, bring me to the remnant of the Fotia Legion. With me, they will listen to your order!

Rosalie the Flame Queen spoke in Tang Shaoyang's head. That was the original plan. However, Tang Shaoyang changed the plan. That way, the people were following him because of the spirits, not him. He did not want that. He wanted them to follow him, not his spirits.

—It would be the same, we are part of your power. Obeying us is the same obeying you, nothing different. This is the best shortcut to gathering the force you want to start the rebellion.

Understanding her Master's thoughts, Rosalie tried to persuade him. However, it would never work once he was determined to do something, he would do it his way, 'That would be my last choice!'

"Then you can go back to your world. How can I work together with someone that we can't trust?" Duran Ambrose shook his head, "Let's make a deal instead, a Divine Contract. You free my daughter and her knights. The Ambrose Family will help you to prevent the kingdom from sending their force to another world. How is it?"

"I don't come for that. I come to this world to erase the threat to my Empire. I will not return until I destroy the Lionax Kingdom." Tang Shaoyang shook his head too. There was no way he would return just because Duran said so.

On top of that, even if he summoned Crystal. He doubted Duran would be willing to listen to him willingly. There was a big chance that Duran would try to kill him to free his grandmother's spirit.

"Just two of you want to destroy the Lionax Kingdom?" Duran sneered at Tang Shaoyang's bold remark. The Ambrose Family had tried that for years but they bore no result. Here, a man from another world came with a woman who wanted to destroy the kingdom without bringing his army. It was a ridiculous claim.

"I have the Ambrose Family and also the remnant of the Fotia Legion. If you listen to me, then destroying the Lionax Kingdom is no longer a pipe of a dream!" Tang Shaoyang shrugged as he confidently told Duran Ambrose his purpose of meeting him.

Whoosh!

Suddenly a strong aura engulfed the room as the cold aura started to freeze the table. The aura originated from Duran Ambrose, trying to intimidate Tang Shaoyang and Selena.
