Yvette stared at him in a daze. After a moment of silence, she said: "Even if I want to help you, I can't do anything. I'm a woman and I can't be a chieftain. Moreover, some of my brothers are very talented. I can't compete with them."
"There is nothing you can't do as long as you are willing to do it. Unless you are not willing to pay the price." Dean quietly looked at her: "It won't be difficult for you to be a tribal chief with my help. As for your brothers … They are a hindrance so get rid of them."
Ivette's face changed, and she looked at him in anger, "You want me to kill my brother?"
"If you want to be the king, aren't you willing to pay this price?" Dean looked at her eyes, and there seemed to be a sharp sword slowly stabbing out from the depths of his peaceful eyes.
Ivette's face turned ugly: "What's the point of climbing to the throne with blood on my hands?"
Dean indifferently smiled: "The so-called meaning is the harvest you get after completing a task. The tribal chief's rights, glory and the ability to lead your people into the golden wall. No matter how many years pass you will be remembered by people. Aren't these enough to move you? "
Ivette gritted her teeth: "I don't need to be remembered by people. I don't need the tribal chief's rights. I just want to live on the land we belong to. I don't want to be exiled barbarians. That's my dream!"
"But!"
"What's the point of my dream if I kill my brothers and sisters for this? They are dead. Even if I can eventually lead my people to live inside the wall, but these people will lose their loved ones. Isn't this very ironic? "
Dean's brows wrinkled.
He didn't expect that this female savage valued family so much. He thought that her father, the savage chief, had dozens of children and his descendants would not be too united. They might even fight against each other for resources. However, it seemed to be the opposite. Did the harsh environment outside the wall make them cherish it more?
"You will think so but it doesn't mean that your brothers will think the same." Dean looked at her: "They will try their best to get rid of you if they know that you have a trump card to compete with them! Moreover, if you reject my conditions, how can I assist you? Without my help, your people won't be able to step into the wall in this life. Don't tell me that the future of your people is not as important as a few of your relatives? "
"I need to think about it," Yvette said with a complicated look in her eyes.
Dean stared at her for a moment: "Ok, I'll let Glenn send you back. I'll give you a week to think about it. I hope I'm satisfied with your answer. We'll meet at the 8th fortress under the Red Maple Mountains."
Yvette breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "I'll give you an answer."
Dudian nodded and waved: "Go and pack your luggage."
Yvette gave him a long look, got up and went upstairs.
The sound of horse's hooves echoed from outside the castle as Ivette went up the stairs. Soon, the sound of horse's hooves reached the entrance of the manor. A figure came in and was about to speak when he saw Dean sitting on the sofa in the hall.
"I'm back." Dudian smiled.
Neuss came back to his senses and said with surprise and joy: "Young, young master, when did you come back? Did they send you back? That's great! "
"I sneaked back." Dean looked at his travel-worn appearance. He knew that he had been running outside: "Did you go to the Ryan family?"
Neuss nodded: "Young Master, if they couldn't find you, would they come here? Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to stay here?"
"Don't worry about it for the time being." Dudian waved his hand: "Tell me about the situation of the Ryan family. I heard that you went to them for help. What did they say?"
Neuss honestly replied: "Old Fulin said that he will find a way. He has contacted other nobles and is ready to let the magistrate investigate the matter. But the magistrate hasn't given a reply yet …"
Dudian nodded: "Old Fulin is very loyal."
"Yes." Neuss nodded, "It's just that his children aren't that great. Humph, they owe us a huge sum of money and don't even have a place to live. They've been staying here for so long, but they didn't even say a word of thanks before leaving. Now that I'm here, they're worried that I'll cause trouble for them.
Dudian indifferently smiled: "Don't be offended. Are you willing to follow me in the future?"
Neuss said without thinking: "Of course I am willing. When you took me out of the dark prison, I swore that I would follow you everywhere for the rest of my life!"
Dudian narrowed his eyes: "But the place we are going to is very bitter. Your face may need to be peeled off and replaced with a new one."
Neuss was stunned.
The image of 'skinning' flashed in his mind. His whole body instinctively shivered and cold sweat emerged. But looking at Dean's gentle eyes, he felt that his chest was pressed by a big stone. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He took a deep breath and said: "I'm willing."
Dean deeply looked at him and smiled. The atmosphere suddenly relaxed: "It's not as bitter as you think. If you know how to taste it, there will be sweetness in bitterness."
Neuss sighed in relief. He smiled bitterly: "Even if it's worse than the prison, I'll accept it."
Dean smiled but didn't deny it. He raised his hand and clapped. Sergei and others on the second floor heard the sound and came down to the hall. Ivette was among them who had changed into armor.
Dudian looked at Sergei: "Ask Glenn to send her away when she comes back."
Sergei looked at Ivette: "Are we going to let the female barbarian go? We don't need her as a hostage? "
"The value of a hostage depends on the love of others. There hasn't been any news from the barbarian for a long time. Obviously she doesn't intend to go back." Dudian stood up: "It's getting late. I took the opportunity to sneak out. I can't stay outside for long. It's easy to arouse suspicion. You don't need to look for me. I'll come to you if there's anything."
"Are you going back to the inner wall?" Mason was surprised.
Dudian smiled and patted Mason's shoulder. He didn't answer Mason's question. He looked at Neuss: "Go pack up and prepare to go with me."
Neuss nodded and quickly went upstairs.
"Are you going to take Neuss with you?" Sergei raised his eyebrows: "Glenn and Gwyneth are more suitable if you need help."
Dudian laughed: "Neuss isn't worse than them."
