KeepingSilent

Everything seems to align with his ambitions—except the spiritual creatures he can contract seem to be remarkably…strange

This Beast-Tamer is a Little Strange

After a moment of stunned silence, Kain opened his mouth. "So is it possible for you to just wish for Cherry to be released? Or for the powerful beast-tamer running this place to die?"

Even before Kain finished talking, Serena was already shaking her head, "I already said that I can't know the equivalent price to be paid until after the wish is granted, and the most Balins can help me is ensuring that the price doesn't fall on me directly—my friends and family are fair game."

"If I make that wish, are you okay with another child, or even one of your other siblings, being kidnapped by someone else in exchange for Cherry? If I wish to kill that beast-tamer, are you okay with the director of your orphanage suddenly dying from a heart attack or freak accident in exchange?"

Serena just listed a few examples, but they immediately shut his mouth. He got the point.
