Vale stared blankly at his Champion, one whom he was supposed to be the 'master' of.
He had a choice to make…
He could search for another way to save Ximena, without the succubus' involvement.
He could try to convince the succubus to help either by force or coercion.
Or, he could give up, which he wasn't going to do.
Both viable options seemed bleak, as it would be detrimental to her Loyalty if Vale forced Salome to do something which she adamantly detested… regardless of whether Vale would even be able to make her.
As for convincing her…
That may be possible, but at the very least, it wasn't going to be easy.
At the same time, Vale wasn't even sure if he wanted to risk it. There was the chance that Salome and Ximena both died in the attempt…
Vale sighed heavily as he sauntered over to the throne, dragged it a little to the side so he could sit facing Salome.
Vale muttered quietly, dismissing the screen detailing Level 8:
"No."
