Kalina remained silent for a moment.
Her mind raced as she weighed every possible choice.
Should she really refuse?
No.
That thought disappeared almost as soon as it appeared.
The person standing before her was, in her eyes, a Nascent Soul King. Even if he belonged to another faction within the Shinayin Empire, he was still her senior.
There were certain things juniors simply could not refuse, as long as their seniors did not cross a certain line.
After calming herself, Kalina slowly accepted the situation.
'It is only compensation,' she thought.
'A Great Elder King may make demands of a junior. That is only natural.'
She did not think King Kainaat intended to bully her. Not really.
Kings had their own pride.
Why would someone of such status ruin his own reputation over a mere Core Formation Lord?
More importantly...
She doubted he wanted these resources for himself.
