Armipotent - Chapter 1638 Dinael's Dilemma

Chapter 1638  Dinael’s Dilemma

Dinael thought she would need months before she could make the decision. She had an intense communication with his family. Then she spent some time strolling around the city as well when she was so stressed up.

It has been almost a year since her stay in The Tang Empire. She was fond of the city, the people, and the food. This place was much better than The Divine. She felt free here.

Back in the Divine Church, people would look at her with expectation because she was The leader of the Divine Church’s daughter. People put a big expectation on her, especially from her performance before she was Epic Rank.

But those expectations became a burden for her as time went on. Once she failed a mission, and she remembered those scorn. People spoke ill behind her just for one fail. They forgot all the success she had before the failure. They focused on one mistake and her streak of achievement.

Dinael liked the Tang Empire, but the Divine Church was her family. Her family was the core part of the Divine Church. She was in a dilemma for a while, and she finally came up with something in mind.

She stood in front of the wooden door. Behind this door was The Emperor. Recalling the past battle against The Emperor always made her nervous. Back then, The Emperor was just a Demi-God Rank. Knowing the Emperor had reached The God Rank made her even more nervous.

Opening the door, Tang Shaoyang was behind an elegant yet classic table. The crimson eyes were on her. She flinched slightly when she saw his eyes.

Tang Shaoyang gestured for Dinael to sit across from him, “Let’s skip the useless chit-chat and get straight to your answer. What’s your decision?”

Dinael’s buttock had not touched the chair yet. She paused slightly before sitting before Tang Shaoyang. Closing her eyes, then she took a deep breath, “I want to hear what will you do to my family if I join your side? I want to know this first! My answer depends on your answer, Your Majesty!”

Tang Shaoyang did not expect that Dinael cared so much about her family. He thought what he said back then would be enough to create a rift between her and her family. But that was not enough.

“Let’s make it easy, what will make you want to join my side? State your condition!”

Dinael furrowed her brow slightly, “You can’t kill them! As long as you spare my family, then I will join your side and help you!”

“Them!? Can we be more specific? Who are they? Just your parents? Or it’s including your uncles and cousins?”

“All of them if possible, but I want to put priority on my parents, brothers, and sisters. You can’t kill them.” That was Dinael’s decision.

She was willing to take over the Divine Church and join the Tang Empire. There would be no difference whether she worked for The Nirvana Alliance or The Tang Empire.

“That’s your condition, then let me state my condition. As long as your family has no intention to kill, then I will not kill them. It’s that easy. If they don’t fight me, then I will spare their lives. But can you convince them to step aside?”

Dinael fell silent. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But now words came out. Looking at Tang Shaoyang’s perspective, the condition made sense. But she did not think that her parents, especially her father and her big family would give up that easily.

“Then what about if it’s just my parents and my blood brothers and sisters? If we ever fight them, then I want you to spare them. You can capture them and jail them. Then I will try to convince them to join you as well after!”

Tang Shaoyang shook his head. He would not fight a war with in mind to spare his enemy’s life. That might lead to his doom, sooner or later.

“That’s not an option, Dinael! Convince them not to fight me, then I will not kill them. Because I know no matter what I do, I will never get their loyalty. I don’t want to keep someone like your father on my side. Because the moment your father has the chance, he will betray me!”

“Don’t forget, they will not be grateful to you just because you convinced me to kill them. They will resent you, they will hate you because you are the reason they lose The Divine Church!”

Dinael took a deep breath. She understood the reasoning, and everything that The Emperor said made sense. Her family betrayed The Tang Empire the moment they had the chance was likely to happen. Especially after Tang Shaoyang stripped them of their authority from the Divine Church.

“I tried! I tried talking it out with my father. He can’t betray The Nirvana Alliance. He is afraid of The Nirvana Alliance more than you, Your Majesty. I don’t mean to disparage you and The Tang Empire. But that’s the case, I can’t…” She paused for a moment. Nôv(el)B\jnn

“What about if you convince them not to fight you? Instead of targeting The Divine Church, what if you change your target to The Metarnian Dragon Clan first? If you destroy The Metarnian Dragon Clan. That might be enough to convince my parents not to fight you!”

That was a brilliant idea, at least, that was what She thought.

“It seems like you misunderstand something, Dinael. I want you to join my side, and I want to lead the Divine Church. Your family will never agree for you to take over the Divine Church. They will do whatever they can to stop you from taking over the Divine Church. You can’t convince them!”

Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh, “I see, you haven’t really made up your mind, Dinael. Let’s stop for now. You have time to think about it. One year, I will give you one year to make up your mind. This is your last chance!”
