Chapter 1592 The Divine Church and The Nirvana Alliance 1
Dinael returned to her room with a pale complexion. When she was first captured, she was ready to die or get executed. That was what happened to the war prisoner based on what she had learned from history. But it ended up with a truce with her life at the stake.
At first, she thought the truce would be hell for her. Not only was it hell, but she got to know a new culture and also experienced something she never experienced before. Life here was better than the life in her home. She began accepting her new life, especially with how kind Elinova, one of the consorts, treated her so well with the good food and other stuff.
Everything was good until a few minutes ago when she was summoned to meet The Emperor. The one person who single-handedly bested her legion and defended this world.
Dinael sat next to the window, looking down at the bustling street. She recalled what The Emperor told her about how The Nirvana Alliance broke the truce. That was how she found where The Emperor went for almost two months.
The Emperor went to the Trial of God, and there The Nirvana Alliance tried to kill Tang Shaoyang despite the truce. That was not the worst part, the worst part was the involvement of System Avatar as well as the punishment for the violation.
She looked at the mark on her left wrist. There was supposed to be a bracelet on her left wrist, the bracelet that suppressed her energy. But it was no longer needed because of the punishment. Her attributes temporarily went down to one hundred, all of them because she was not in the Divine Church's territory. She was no different than ordinary people right now even without the bracelet. That was the proof that Tang Shaoyang did not lie to her.
Not only that, she could not level up, obtain a new class, or even learn a new skill for ten years as well. Not only was The Nirvana Alliance locked down in their territory, but they also could not grow stronger as an alliance. Their progress would be stuck for ten years.
The Emperor presented her with two choices. He would kill her, and execute her, and it would not be a painless execution where he would chop her head in public. Recalling how he told her how she would die, his eyes, his tone, as well as his aura. It would be the worst way to die, she was sure of it even though The Emperor did not go into details on how she would be executed.
The other way was to betray the Nirvana Alliance. That was the sole reason she was not in a shackle or dungeon. The Emperor wanted her to help the Tang Empire to rout The Nirvana Alliance. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
From what she knew, The Tang Empire was preparing for The Nirvana Alliance's attack which would happen twenty years after the truce expired. They were growing their force to defend the Nirvana Alliance, but the objective was now changed. It was to rout The Nirvana Alliance.
If it was when she was first captured, she would not hesitate to choose to die. But it was different now when she just discovered how good life was. How it was to be alive, that made her wavered. On top of that, The Nirvana Alliance seemed not to care about her life as well. If they cared about her a little bit, they would not break the truce.
Dinael leaned back on her comfy chair and closed her eyes. The chair was no longer comfy because of how anxious she was. Opening her eyes, she looked to the right where she saw seventeen messages. She was allowed to communicate with The Divine Church, her parents specifically. It was the Divine Church that Tang Shaoyang wanted, not her. She was the bridge between The Tang Empire and The Divine Church.
Out of the seventeen messages, sixteen of them were from her father and mother. There was one from The Nirvana Alliance's envoy. She opened the sixteen messages, and her parents were worried for her. They told her to reply to the messages because they wanted an affirmation of whether she was fine or not.
'But why? Why did you agree with them if you are so worried about me?' She could not help but ask the question in her head. If they were worried, they should do what the Nirvana Alliance tried to do. It was useless worrying about her now.
Then lastly she opened the message from the Nirvana Alliance's envoy. She smiled when she read the message.
[It's time for you to pay for what the Nirvana Alliance has done for you! Kill yourself! Don't ever give a little bit of information about us to the Tang Empire!]
The short message was clear enough that she did not need to read it for the second time. They were worried that she would leak the information about them and told her to end her life. She smiled because of how funny the message was. She never felt like she received anything from them, and they dared to say that she owed her life to them.
She could understand if they asked her to keep her mouth shut or anything, but telling her to kill herself. That was a trigger that removed her hesitation. She was still hesitating, but she no longer hesitated.
The first Dinael did was to ask her father and the Divine Church's involvement in the incident.

Meanwhile, back in the meeting room, Tang Shaoyang stayed there because she gave Dinael time to think about it. He was good enough to give her time to consider her options, three hours. He leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes.
"Are you okay?" Elinova asked in concern.
"I am not. It just reminded me of my pathetic past…" He opened his eyes and glanced at Elin, "Do you want to know about me before The Game?"
Tang Shaoyang never told her anything about his past or anything. This was the first time he offered his story, "If it makes you feel better, then you can tell. But if it makes you feel worse, then save it for later." She smiled understandingly. Without a doubt, she wanted to know more about her man, but she would not push him for it.
