"You want power, so I want half of the power."
"You want wealth, I want to receive half of the wealth."
"You want strength, you want to become the most powerful person in the history of Holy Sound, then I want you to work for me."
Hewinia said, "What if I want none of these."
"That's fine," Ivan's body leaned in a bit more, "if you truly are that unique, gathering everything yet in the end you only ask the Lord for a single apple, then I also want half of that apple, including the seed. Carefully, fairly cutting it in half... do you understand what I mean?"
Hewinia hadn't even had time to respond when she saw Ivan retreat back and then casually continued.
"Of course, if in the end you become afraid, not wanting to continue collecting Seven Notes, choosing to live on as Hewinia, that's also fine. After all, the Lawrence family has already offered me a decent compensation for you, and I would very much welcome you to become my true daughter, or..." he paused, "wife."
