“We are in your Clan’s Base…”
Rune spoke as she narrowed her eyes.
“That is correct.” Amaya nodded her head.
“Why did you bring me here?” Rune questioned.
“What do you mean? Were you planning on staying in that place?”
“It was pleasing to look at.”
Rune’s answer was simple.
“Well, unfortunately, that place is special, we cannot just allow everyone to stay there,” Amaya replied.
The reason why Amaya brought Rune out of [Core] was because of the 10 to 1 time difference. If Rune stays inside that place for a long while, she would definitely notice it.
And Amaya didn’t want that.
Although Rune was their Ally, Amaya still didn’t wish to reveal too many things to her.
She was still a Saint who was capable of defeating them all alone, after all. She needed to be cautious.
Also, just like [Core], the base of ExceedoGenesis was a safe place for Rune as well. ExceedoGenesis was enshrouded in mystery with no information about them available anywhere, Rune was perfectly safe here.
Not to mention that the [Core] was currently ‘used’ for something else, and Amaya didn’t have any intention of hearing all those sounds.
She didn’t like to discuss important things while she was horny, she only enjoyed that if she was with Nux.
A small smile appeared on Amaya’s face when she thought about it a little, soon, however, she shook her head, her expression turned serious again, she glanced at Rune who had already made herself comfortable and was sitting on the chair, sipping on the tea Amaya offered,
“You said you would help us get in touch with Dwarves.”
Amaya spoke up.
“I did and I believe I already provided you with the item you need to do that.”
“I still need your help,” Amaya replied.
“You can’t do it yourself even though you have the Spirit Alcohol? I thought you were more competent than that.”
Rune commented with a small, teasing smile on her face.
“I wouldn’t want to listen that from someone who couldn’t even choose a correct man for herself and had no choice but to contact a middle-level clan after losing everything.”
Amaya answered back, then suddenly, she noticed the Mana around her becoming heavy, so heavy that even breathing became hard for him. With difficulty, Amaya raised her head and glanced at Rune.
“Aren’t you a little too bold for a mere Emperor? For someone so weak that you would die if I lose control over myself, even for a mini second, don’t you think you should be careful about what you speak?”
Rune spoke as she looked into Amaya’s eyes with a calm look on her face.
She may look calm, however, Amaya, who was at the receiving end could feel the intimidating aura that pressed her entire body.
However, Amaya didn’t give in,
“Why don’t… you make this small mistake… then…? Let us see if… you survive after… that…”
She retorted.
“You think anyone in this clan can do anything to me if I decide to kill you here?”
Rune questioned with a curious look on her face.
“You really… think you can… run away… after that…? Don’t forget what… happened… with the Shadow of Silence…”
Amaya, who was having difficulty speaking, still didn’t give in and stubbornly replied in a hoarse voice.
Rune looked into Amaya’s eyes, then she recalled how Eisheth appeared out of nowhere and caught her.
Then suddenly, Melia’s face appeared in her mind and her expression changed.
Seeing her expression, Amaya’s smile widened.
However, the pressure around her suddenly increased.
“You think I would be scared? I have assassins coming after me, remember? My husband and brother are the ones who are aiming for my life, I knew this but I still decided to stay with my husband so that he wouldn’t realize anything. Do you really think I would have taken that step if I was scared of dying?
Did you forget?
I do not fear death, Girl.
Don’t try to threaten me.”
“…”
Amaya turned silent.
Things got much more serious than she intended to.
She had sensed that Rune was taking her a little too lightly, so she just wanted to make sure that both of them were on equal footing before further discussions.
But to think she would need to call Nux to deal with this.
It honestly left a bad taste in her mouth, however,
In the end, she had to do it.
“Huh?”
But just as she was about to call Nux, the pressure around her disappeared.
Confused, she glanced at Rune, Rune simply closed her eyes and,
“I apologize, my anger got the better of me.
I shouldn’t have attacked my benefactors.”
“I shouldn’t have said things I said.
I apologize as well.”
Amaya bowed her head.
“Well, it is not like you were wrong. I wouldn’t have reacted so aggressively if you were. My husband really did betray me. No, rather than betraying, he was never on my side to begin with.” Rune smiled.
Amaya, however, could sense the sadness behind that smile.
No matter how much Rune tried to hide it, in the end, the fact that the man she spent 2300 years of her life loving, was someone who was aiming for her fall all this while…
It affected her a lot.
“Let us not talk about it,
I called you here because I wanted your help.”
Amaya, who didn’t know how to console Rune decided to change the topic.
“Since I did say I would help you make a deal with the Dwarves, I will do my best.”
Rune replied, she appreciated what Amaya was doing.
“What do you want?”
She questioned.
“I will be leaving for the Aetherholm City in the Zhephyrion Empire, to meet Dwarf Thorin Oakenshield. I am sure you know of him.
So I want to know everything I need to be careful of when I meet him.
I do not want to make a silly mistake just because I didn’t have enough information about the other party.”
Amaya spoke. She also had some of his people look into Thorin, however, she wanted information from all the sources, just to be sure.
This deal was extremely important for the Clan, after all.
“Thorin huh…
You made the right choice to meet him…”
