Nini'an closed her eyes in anguish, unable to believe how quickly she was forced to make a choice.
Either marry Lanling outright, or travel thousands of miles to Rakshasa City and degrade herself as one of the Barbarian King's many concubines.
Nini'an said, "Father, does Lanling really have to betray Suo Mo?"
"Absolutely!" Constantine replied, "A prodigy like him, once he commands an army absolutely loyal to him, will breed immense ambition and become uncontrollable. He must pledge complete allegiance to me, with no room for retreat."
It must be said, Constantine's concerns about Lanling were not unfounded.
Nini'an said, "If the decision is made to kill Lanling, Suo Mo must be killed too, correct?"
