What the fuck was this woman talking about?
He gave a metaphorical answer.
Why was she taking his words seriously?
"Are you sure? If you are okay an old woman like me—"
"No!"
The doors were pushed open.
Amelia rushed inside, followed by Clara.
The bodyguard looked apologetically at the Queen for being unable to stop Amelia from eavesdropping.
"Nobody is marrying anyone!"
"Don't reject him so fiercely. He has quite a few good qualities. If you spend time with him, maybe you will come to like him."
At her mother's words, Amelia's gaze unconsciously moved towards Neo's lower half.
She looked away with a flushed face.
The Queen noticed her actions.
"Oh my, what did you two do before coming here?"
"We did nothing! A-and stop changing the subject!"
Amelia sat on the same sofa as her mother and glared at Neo.
If a stare could kill, he would've been skinned and boiled a thousand times by now.
The Tyrant Queen, Elizabeth, picked up her tea cup and sipped it.
"You've heard my daughter. I don't think I can give you my most prized possession."
Neo frowned.
Only Elizabeth knew about the replica of Poseidon's Trident.
It seemed she wanted to negotiate with Neo in front of her daughter with the code word.
While Amelia thought of the 'most prized possession' as a marriage with her mother and her, in truth, the Queen and Neo would talk about the weapon.
"So…" Elizabeth continued. "How about another offer?"
"I'll hear it at least."
"I will let you live if you promise to save me."
She placed the tea cup on the table.
Her expression said it was her final offer.
As expected of a Tyrant.
Neo knew this was going to happen.
"Mom, why are you doing this?"
Amelia asked with a frustrated expression.
She knew nothing was going to change her mother's thoughts.
Similar situations happened countless times throughout her childhood.
Although she hoped Neo's strength would deter her, after hearing everything through the door, she knew her expectations were not going to be fulfilled.
Elizabeth looked at Neo to see how he would react.

He picked his tea cup with a smile.
"It's a realistic offer. Sadly, I can't accept it."
"So you are ready to die?"
"That's the problem." Neo took a sip. "I'm Immortal."
"Huh? Are you bluffing again?" Amelia reacted.
Her mother and Clara pondered over Neo's words seriously.
The Children of the Ten High Gods and the Three Great Gods inherited powerful skills.
Zeus' familia could control lightning and Poseidon's lineage reigned supreme over the oceans.
With that logic, Hades' descendent should be able to command Death.
'There has never been a Hades' child in the history. We can't predict if his words are truth or lie,' Clara thought as she stood behind Elizabeth's sofa.
Neo's words took the Tyrant Queen by surprise.
However, she recovered quickly.
"If that is the case, my offer won't work."
She added.
"How about I torture you if you don't save me? I can start by pulling out your nails, dripping hot wax on your skin and slowly use worse torture."
"Sounds painful."
Neo maintained his calm.
