201 Chapter 193 - Unseen Contract and Black Tea.

Suddenly, Seito's body paralyzed and stopped moving on its own. Then he heard two men's voices.

"We would fulfill your wishes, but with one condition, you must sell your soul... Ouch! Why suddenly hit me from behind?"

"You had been reading manga too much, what's with that phrase? Are you a demon?"

"Aww... This a rare opportunity you know?"

"Tsk... Well, we indeed have a special condition, although it's definitely has nothing to do with selling your soul. After we helped you, you shall lose your freedom and served under us for the rest of eternity."

"Seriously, is that even better than selling soul?"

"I never said it will be better."

And so, that two men saved Yuki and controlled that beast in Seito before eventually separated it from Seito.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So... You were forced to follow them by an unseen contract?" Itsuki asked, Seito shook his head.

"I was having that same thought as yours, I was ready to accept the fact that my life had 'ended' as soon as I agreed with the conditions, but then I found out it's not true. Within these two years, I can barely count how many times they had risked their own life for me, including last time with that slime parasites. So I think it's not just by that agreement, it's a form of trust of royalty. I believe you felt that as well, right?" Seito asked.

Itsuki nodded. Then he touched the pair of curved swords that still wrapped nicely in leather, he still totally no idea why were these swords given to him.

"Figure out how to use that yet?" Seito asked, Itsuki shook his head, in fact, he hasn't got a chance to try it out yet...

The next morning. Quill Town, Sky, and the others are waiting for the morning prayer to end so that they can go meet Dominic, however, the morning prayer seems to be ended quite early as Nathan suddenly came by the homestay, giving them a small stack of neatly filed documents which contain some maps and letters.

"His Grace said, this is what he could do for you, for now, he will try to provide more helps if given opportunity. And here's a bottle of All Heal potion that can heal almost any of the sickness, poison, and more, there's three bottles available in the whole dimension. This will be the reward for the quest along with this box here." said Nathan.

"The morning prayer ended early today, any special reason?" Chris asked, obviously not interested in the reward.

"Not feeling well? Why all of the sudden?" Chris asked again and Nathan obviously doesn't have the answer.

Then Chris thought for a while, recalling what happened these few days. He seems to be slowly getting the whole situation...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dominic awakes from his short slumber after the tiring morning prayer, not sure if it's because of the morning prayer or the slumber, he felt thirsty.

"Dan, get me some black tea... Dan... Ah..." He called out for his personal assistant, Dan as he always did but suddenly realized he is not with him anymore.

"Ah... Maybe the tea can wait." He told himself before closing his eyes again.

However, he soon awakened again by a nice aroma of black tea with a citrusy punch. He opened his eyes and saw Chris walks towards him with a cup of tea.

"Seriously, even if you are okay with not having a cup of tea, this neet-like attitude doesn't suit you for a single bit. Hope this tea suit your taste." said Chris while handed that cup of tea to Dominic.

"Chris? What are you doing in here? Nathan, you are not supposed to bring him here... Ah..." Dominic suddenly felt lightheaded, and Chris gently held him stopping him from collapsing.

"I'm sorry, Your Grace. I can't keep this from him..." said Nathan in a rather soft voice.

"Don't blame him, I'm the one that forced him to get me here. Anyway, take a sip of the tea first, it should make you feel better." said Chris.

Dominic took a small sip of tea prepared by Chris. As soon as the tea reached his tongue, he finally understands why did Chris said that he is quite picky for tea. That cup of tea, despite of having a strong aroma, it doesn't have a single of bitterness and astringent taste, just smooth and delicate. The temperature of that tea is just perfect, not too hot, not too cold, just good enough to warm up a person's heart. The citrusy note just added a nice extra punch to the tea that gives a refreshing sensation.

"I know Dan had been serving you for so many years, and it's indeed our responsibility that you lost the most important servant of yours. So to reimburse that, we will get someone to serve you temporarily before you found someone else to replace Dan." said Chris.

Dan is a bit surprised by Chris's words, he thought for a while before giving his response.

"I accept your offer, but make sure the person is clea... Nevermind, it's not a matter anymore." said Dominic, who suddenly has that irony feeling.

"Well, I can't say he is totally clean, but he certainly is good at taking care of people." said Chris with a rather suspicious smile...

*Something out of the story

Sky: "Dear readers."

Chris: "Hmm?"

Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."

Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."

Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."

Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.

Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows  two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
