"I understand your concerns, but surely there must be some room for negotiation. What if we're willing to offer something in return?" Isaac asked.
Azrael raised an eyebrow upon hearing Isaac's proposal, seemingly surprised that he was still interested in negotiating after receiving such a clear refusal.
He leaned back slightly and asked, "What kind of deal are you suggesting, Lord Isaac?"
Instead of answering immediately, Isaac turned toward Aurelia, who seemed to understand his intentions almost immediately. She smiled politely and stood up from her seat before addressing the two of them.
"I just remembered that I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I'll have to excuse myself. I hope Lord Azrael and Lord Isaac won't mind if I leave the discussion to you."
"Of course, Your Majesty. Thank you for arranging this meeting," Isaac replied, while Azrael also nodded in agreement.
