"Yes, first Elder. I am that confidence " Divine said but looking deep to her eyes one will know that she is not 100 percent confidence
"Well if that's what you want I... won't... accept" the first elder said with a smirk and this make Divine hope sank before she hear him continue
" Achieving Foundation establishment might be very hard for some, but to you it is so easy to reach in less than thirty years because you have the Ash blood in you, also i think you have forgotten that you will have to travel from the central continent back there and on that your way to might break through stages, and I won't fall for your scheme yound lady. So I will change your initial proposal" the first Elder said, but still his instinct is telling him not to accept it but he still ignores it
"What are the new conditions First Elder " Divine said and then think internally
' I know that you will not be moved by my initial proposal that is why I have downplay my real aim ehh ehh old man' Divine lower her head and smile
" What I want you to achieve is the late of mid stage of the Foundation establishment stage by the time you are back her after the Gate Of Inheritance closed" he said and rest well on his sit looking at Divine who has shocked expression
Divine felt shocked the moment she heard him, because she didn't expect the answer which is not still favorable but still ok than the other goal she set for herself. She felt glad that the didn't outright said late stage of foundation establishment stage, and now all she has to chase is 6th step foundation establishment stage.
"Hmmm... Isn't that too much for me to achieve first Elder, you are asking to move from the early stage down to the late mid stage Foundation establishment stagewhkchbis the 6th step. I can't accept that " Divine try and negotiate with him again and the answer she get is what she expects
" Hmmmmm.... Do you think you can haggle here, I have the final say and that's the final to it, are you doing or not "
Divine still looks as if she's fighting internally but later makes up her mind and said
" This junior accepts your condition Elder, and I will make sure I win it" she said with a face full Of resolve
" Mmmm..... Try your best " The First elder said before saying internally
'and try to avoid having inner demon' the smirked, but he didn't know that this decision will later backfire. And his greed will later be his regret.
After leaving the room Divine look at the sky and muttered
"Young Lord, even if you don't like me I will always belong to you in this timeline, I will do everything possible to have the right to choose my groom. And I know before that time comes I would have find you" Divine thought, but she also start to day dream the day she will see her young Lord
