I would rather die!

Evan pov contd.

I could not believe my eyes and ears. A woman as strong as her and as rich as her, who had brought me 10,000 gold coins, was ready to let go of them in exchange for five young kids. If she wanted to have slaves, I was sure that she could have bought all of them without even spending one percent of her income. 

I had heard from the servants in the place that she was the richest noble in the empire and her salaries were the most generous, yet she did not get much staff because of her infamous devil and villainess title. Many were afraid that they would not stay alive to receive the amount of their salary. 

"Fine, I will give you five young slaves as an apology but I have to take permission from my lord for such a generous gift." as the words left her mouth, the men finally fell on the ground. They took a breath of relief and tried to stand up finally. 

The duchess nodded as she looked at the woman.
