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?"
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.
"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!"
