The Black Phoenix looked at him coldly and said, "What do you think?"
"Alright. If it comes to that, then I will provide you relief sooner. I have arranged a marriage for you. After a year, as long as you've completed this marriage agreement, you will have fulfilled your promise to me. In this year, you are free to do whatever you wish. After a year, return to Landias and complete this political marriage I have arranged for you."
"Have you forgotten something?" The chill in the Black Phoenix's eyes suddenly intensified. The word 'marriage' deeply hurt her heart because she knew that she would never have the hope of a happy life of love between man and woman. "I am the disciple of the Master of the Dark Tower, and thus his heir. As the only disciple of my master, do you think I can get married?"
