Predicament (1)

The two mages fell into an awkward silence. It was obvious they did not share Soll's sentiment. To them, every family that opposed the Crown Princess was better off dead.

Sensing their dissatisfaction, Soll said with an indifferent tone,

"With the current strength of her Highness, she could not bring back the dead to life yet. It will be a waste to kill them now."

What he said made sense and both accepted his decision better.

"That's true," the older woman agreed. "Although their mage levels are so-so, once her Highness revive their souls, their mage levels will also receive a huge boost."

The older man sighed, "If only her Highness can also boost our levels, I don't mind becoming her puppet."

"From what I know, the previous Soul Emperor did something similar," the older woman replied thoughtfully. She looked at Soll furtively, checking his reaction regarding their topic.
