Byrne Camellia twitched his mouth slightly as he cursed himself for neglecting Krista Dragoon.

'If only I met her earlier then I would have enough time to make this decision.' Byrne Camellia cried inwardly and blamed his two useless offspring.

Daphne Camellia who made an embarrassment of herself in the auction house and Leon Camellia who just came back from the Swift Feather Academy.

'That stupid son of mine is even worse than Daphne. Just came back and already caused a massive scene in front of the Palace Moon Restaurant,' Byrne Camellia wondered if he was cursed to not have a proper heir for his merchant business anymore.

Taking a deep breath to calm down, Byrne Camellia clenched his fist as he decided to do something that he never expected himself would do.

"My decision is- I refused to ally with either one," Byrne Camellia said, shocking Krista Dragoon for his answer.

However, before Krista Dragoon could say something, Byrne Camellia continued, "However, I can guarantee you that our Camellia family will stop supplying resources for the empress and will only supply for your ally, Princess Krista."

His decision was to stop his Camellia family from embroiling into politics publicly but he would secretly only help Krista Dragoon from the shadows.

Hence, even if Krista Dragoon somehow failed to take the throne for herself despite having platinum cardholder as an ally then his Camellia family wouldn't be annihilated.

The worst-case scenario would only be their influence and power diminishing in the Jade Kingdom.

Meanwhile, Zen laughed loudly upon hearing this decision Byrne Camellia made. 

"Haha, as the saying goes, an old man always knows best for themselves." Zen clapped his hand on such an amazing decision.

However, Zen's expression soon darkened as he glared at Byrne Camellia, 

"But do you really take me for a fool and expect me to leave the Camellia family in this half-ass decision?" Zen said calmly but his calm demeanor was merely a decoy as they could tell he was angry.

Krista Dragoon was also disappointed by Byrne Camellia's decision so she allowed Zen to wreak havoc upon him.

'Hmph, I already gave you an easy answer and you dared to play me like this. Good luck on dealing with Zen,' Krista Dragoon sneered inwardly as she closed her eyes and leaned on Zen's shoulders.

Byrne Camellia saw her inaction to stop Zen from going overboard as he smiled bitterly.

"Please, you have to understand my situation. O-Our family are known to never put our foot into politics so spare us from fighting the empress directly." Byrne Camellia pleaded for mercy because he knows, offending a platinum cardholder would never last long in this world.

Too many families and Kingdoms have perished to prove this statement already and he does not want his Camellia family to follow them and be shamed for centuries by others.

Zen gave up trying to chat with him as he held Krista Dragoon's waist and stood up.

Afterward, Zen whispered softly to Krista Dragoon, "Whatever Krista, we just won't need the Camellia family at all if they vanish from this world."

Zen's whispering may be in a low tone but with the enhanced hearing because of his cultivation, Byrne Camellia was able to hear each and every sentence clearly, almost like Zen was talking directly to him.

Byrne Camellia turned pale as he quickly dashed forward to stop Zen from opening the door to leave the room.

After all, his chance would be gone if they left and his decision would have ended his family into destruction.

"Move aside already, I have wasted enough time here when I can use it to spend time with Krista," Zen said in annoyance.

Byrne Camellia smiled bitterly as he shouted, "Fine, our Camellia family would ally ourselves with Princess Krista and we will support her to the throne with all the resources we can provide."

Zen made a surprised expression but Byrne Camellia can tell he was just faking but there was nothing else he could do.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon clapped her hand in excitement.

Afterward, Krista Dragon said, "Great decision Patriarch Byrne Camellia, I knew you were a smart man to not know how to weigh the pros and cons."

"What else can I do besides allying ourselves with a platinum cardholder?" Byrne Camellia asked sarcastically.

No matter what decision he made, his family was destined to be embroiled in politics, and choosing the empress side was a guaranteed death sentence since Zen was in front of him, unlike the empress.

Not to mention, he noticed that his daughter, Daphne Camellia, seemed to be a little bit interested in Zen.

Therefore, he decided to add a condition that would benefit them in the long run.

"Although I agreed with forming the alliance, I wished that Zen could take my daughter as her woman. My daughter doesn't need to have the wife status as even a concubine would be enough." Byrne Camellia said in a serious tone, shocking Krista Dragoon and Zen.

Krista Dragoon held a gawking expression as she said, "Aren't you selling your daughter out now at this point?"

She wasn't willing to have Zen accept this kind of condition and it was clear that she was being jealous.

Zen already had multiple women surrounding him and if Daphne Camellia was added to the tray, she feared that he wouldn't even remember their names, much less their facial appearance.

"I know it may sound ridiculous but based on my eyesight, I can tell they both shared a bit of attraction to each other so I'm not forcing a relationship upon them," Byrne Camellia explained his reason to Krista Dragoon.

He needed her approval to accept this kind of condition and if she did accept then he can rest assured that no matter what happened to their family, Zen would definitely lend a helping hand to save his woman's family.

'Don't say father never dotes on you when I made this decision for you, Daphne,' Byrne Camellia sighed inwardly as he waited for Zen's response.
