Reject me, you damn woman.

Soul seeking sigil.

To put it nicely, this is a protective seal to prevent Hedwig, who has no supernatural powers, from being influenced by the traitors or spells of other countries and becoming a traitor.

But in fact, it is just naked surveillance and intimidation.

As far as Lin En knew, constructing this kind of seal was extremely difficult and required the collaboration of multiple high-level arcanists, and the process was also very... painful.

The soul is an extremely high-level existence in the mysterious world. Only truly powerful arcanists can get a glimpse of the soul world.

How to track or even monitor a soul?

Only by getting a part of that soul first.

Pierce the shackles of the flesh, break through the restraints of bones and blood, peel off the complete, living soul from the human body, cut off a part of it as the body, and then put it back to its original place.

This sounds simple, but the process is extremely cruel and bloody, especially for the person being branded, who has to feel the pain of having his soul stripped and cut. Not to mention that even a master arcanist can return the soul to the body intact.

But the missing part can never be completed.

Compared to her healthy and strong brothers and sisters, Hedwig is weak and delicate.

Lin En initially thought it was purely due to his physical condition, but he was afraid that it might be related to the guardian seal.

What's more, the Soul Guardian Seal has one most important function, which is to deprive the recipient of the seal of the right to life.

The last method of protection is to take away life first.

No matter where the ward flees to, or how heavily protected he is, as long as the caster still retains the technique and soul fragments, he can make the marked person experience the pain of soul shattering and death at any time.

Even now, just being triggered made Hedwig almost unable to stand in pain.

Hedwig, she is not the great princess who willingly sacrificed everything for the future harmony of the empire.

With the soul seal imposed on her, she was like a bird trapped in a cage, unable to escape.

No wonder the sick prince was so confident in handing over the entire country to the other party, without worrying that Hedwig would be detrimental to the country or have excessive ambitions. Hedwig was really like a saint, with no desires or demands, and remained the same all year round.

Lin En's doubts were finally resolved.

He sighed slightly:

"You pity Her Highness Hedwig, and I sympathize with you, but why do you use such means to make me choose?"

"Feel sorry,"

Hedwig lowered her head, as if she was afraid to face Lynn.

"I know I am selfish and mean, but I will make it up to you in the future, Your Highness Lin En. Now, please make a choice... Save a captive girl, or become an enemy of the Rose Blossoming Country..."

There are two choices before Lynn.

One, of course, was to immediately activate the slave contract between the two and order Hedwig to do anything. As long as the alarm was lifted, Hedwig would reply immediately. After all, Lin En was also a prince, so the court arcanist who rushed over could not do anything.

But in this case, because Lynn only has one chance to issue the order in their contract, once she uses this opportunity, Hedwig's contract mission will be completed immediately, and she will no longer have to agree to anything from Lynn. Instead, Lynn will have to deal with those cultists for Hedwig, which is equivalent to working in vain.

As for the other way, it is to keep the contract and not use it.

But by then, Lin En would have to face the wrath of an arcanist of at least seven rings, as well as the entire Rose City after they belatedly realized that their eldest princess had become someone else's slave.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Hedwig, I told you I don't like being coerced this way, so I won't choose either one."

Lin En shook his head, stood up, and walked towards Hedwig.

"Have you forgotten that the mark can be activated in addition to the soul being stimulated by the outside world? There is another way. I just need to pretend that you were activated accidentally."

"Are you talking about mood swings again? Then I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Hedwig tried to move further away, but after failing, she could only smile bitterly.

Of course, she knew the other method that Lin En mentioned. When emotions fluctuated violently, the soul mark would also be briefly activated.

But Hedwig had been branded with this mark since she was a child, and had already suffered countless hardships due to her emotional fluctuations. Her calm and peaceful personality was also due to this mark.

The court arcanist will be here soon, and Hedwig doesn't believe that Lynn can create such a drastic fluctuation in himself in such a short time.

"You may be disappointed,"

Lin En walked to Hedwig, squatted down, looked into her eyes, and said seriously,

"It's not very polite to say this, but as a woman, there are some things you can't help."

As he spoke, Lynn's hand touched Hedwig's cheek.

"Woo~"

A wonderful warm and tingling feeling came over her, causing Hedwig's entire body to tremble.

"How...how could it be?"

Hedwig felt her mind go haywire.

She suddenly realized that she had miscalculated. When her mark was triggered, she would be very sensitive. In order to ensure the master's restraint on the slave, the slave contract usually had some aphrodisiac function.

In other words, as long as Lin En is still his master, he can make himself...aroused at any time?

"As expected of you, but the time is too short. This alone is not enough~"

Hedwig forced herself to give a stiff smile.

"Although you are very perceptive to think of this, in order not to trigger the soul mark, I am also a little confident in the clear mindset that I have trained since childhood."

Lin En said nothing and smiled with great satisfaction.

I just like this kind of stubborn woman.

She was able to hold back even that moment. Her Royal Highness the Princess really gave me some surprises.

If I have to say, Hedwig, who has been branded since childhood, is like the hard-working liver emperor in the game, while Lin En, who has a slave contract, is like a despicable krypton gold player.

The adaptability brought by the imprinting since childhood allows Hedwig to endure even the instinctive stimulation brought by contact, which is truly admirable.

It’s like a hard-working player who can be as good as the players who spend money on the game with his honed skills.

Unfortunately, you picked the wrong opponent.

I have hung up.

"Atong, are you there?"

【I am here. 】

"Title system, start!"

Chapter 177: Doing this with a strange man! (7k)

Miscalculation!

Inside the mansion, feeling the strange sensation surging in her body, Hedwig's eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of panic.

This invitation to Lin En, which was called cooperation but was actually a conspiracy, was itself a very dangerous and despicable scheme.

By forcibly triggering the guardian seal within his soul, he put Lin En in a state where he could not defend himself and did his work for nothing.

This did not mean that Hedwig looked down on Lynn's behavior. On the contrary, it was the highest tribute to Lynn that she could think of.

This was a terrifying guy who had killed the eight major families of Purple Gold Flower and had made a huge contribution in the killing battle of a ring. If there had not been a binding magic contract, Hedwig would not have been able to "cooperate sincerely" with Lin En.

As the imperial election is about to begin and the new emperor is about to emerge, Hedwig's power will inevitably decrease. As the support from Lynn and Historia is likely to continue to increase, Hedwig doesn't even dare to fully trust the magic contract.

He had only been here for less than two weeks, but he seemed to have made some significant progress with the church and his two sisters. Hedwig was really afraid that one day she would open her eyes and find that the royal family of Fire Rose had changed their surname to Norton!

Therefore, the two-way magic contract is not trustworthy. Only the one-way one is binding on Lin En. However, Hedwig's own contract without any taboos can make her feel more at ease about the prince.

Hedwig had no choice but to resort to this measure.

He used the slave contract to trigger the soul seal as bait and coercion to force Lin En to sign a cooperation contract with him.

Entering the game on her own was the best Hedwig could think of, and it was the highest recognition and courtesy she could give to Lynn.

Although this was a plan that was thought up temporarily and executed hastily, Hedwig had actually played it out in her mind countless times.

Who is the Court Arcanist on duty today?

What if Lynn doesn’t sign the contract?

After Lin En knew the truth, he became furious and wanted to die with me. What should I do?

Hedwig had thought of all the twists and turns in her plan, but the only thing she hadn't thought of, or even considered... was that she couldn't resist the stimulation of the seal? !

It shouldn't be like this, it can't be like this!

How could I, who had been under the guardianship seal since childhood, not be able to control my emotions?

Even if I was affected by the hidden characteristics of the slave contract and couldn't control my emotions, causing the seal to be temporarily out of control, I would be able to adapt and even resist in a short period of time. Why is it like this now?

Inside the mansion, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was already slumped on the ground in a duck sitting position, could not help but bend down.

The moment Lin En touched her cheek, she felt an unprecedented tingling sensation, like an electric current running through her body. The powerful stimulation that penetrated her body and soul even made Hedwig dazed and absent-minded for a moment.

There is no doubt that she blew it and flipped over in the last place she should have.

She leaned forward with her forehead almost touching the ground, and even a few drops of crystal saliva flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her lips.

"how come......."

Hedwig said in confusion.

Why is it so stimulating when this man touches me, to the point where I can't resist?

"Maybe it's because I'm so attractive."

Listening to the girl's somewhat charming breathing, Lynn, who was standing in front of Hedwig, said lightly.

To be honest, Lin En was already very surprised by the perseverance of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

He once secretly tested it and found that the favorability of the opposite sex brought by the title, as long as it was about 5%, would make the opposite sex have a slight favor towards him unconditionally. After leading the Church of Mother Earth at 30% for a week, all the nuns dreamed of getting close to him.

Just now, in order to quickly subdue Hedwig, he directly activated 60% of his title ability. In addition, the soul seal would make his senses extremely sensitive. If her royal sister Historia came instead, she would probably become a sow that would do whatever she was told.

However, this seemingly weak princess actually had the energy to think about the reasons for her failure, which made Lin En admire her a little.

"Hey, I say,"

Lynn half-knelt down, put his hands on Hedwig's shoulders and made her look at him.

"Your Highness Hedwig, let's reconcile."

"reconciliation?"

Hedwig tilted her head in confusion.

"Ah."

Lin En nodded and said casually:

"You must have a plan to avoid triggering the Soul Mark by mistake, or to appease the Court Arcanist. How about this? You tell the Court Arcanist that this is just a misunderstanding, and I will sign a new contract with you. Yes... this time, it will be an equal contract."

This sounded like a good suggestion, and Lynn even made some concessions, taking the initiative to resolve the rift and not caring about Hedwig trying to get something for free from him, but Hedwig rejected it in a second.

"Haha... I'm so sorry, Your Highness Lin En, I can no longer choose this option."

Reconciliation does not mean going back to the past; cracks will still remain.

Not to mention, the secret of the soul guardian seal in her body would be exposed to the prince of Purple Gold Flower. It was as if Lin En did nothing, and Hedwig lifted her skirt to show her weakness to the other party.

Although she knew that it was her over-vigilance and active calculations against Lin En that led to this result, Hedwig had no chance to turn back.

There is no reconciliation option to go back to the past. Once reconciliation is reached, Hedwig will lose everything unilaterally!

Hedwig saw through Lynn's plan in a second. He was tempting her, using a well-packaged reconciliation option to tempt her to surrender!

In a way, this is the same action that Hedwig just performed.

What a remarkable but vindictive fellow he is, he is about to return the favor so soon.

But because of this, it made Hedwig more sober.

We must not give in like this and let Lin En achieve his goal!

Seeing the princess's originally confused eyes regain focus and even ignite the flame of fighting spirit, Lin En knew that his temptation for reconciliation had backfired.

"As expected of the eldest princess of the Rose Empire, her willpower is truly admirable."

Lynn sighed.
