As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

Between everything she owns and the life of the Saint, she can only choose... the latter.

Facing Chenxing's silence, Clotia knew that the other party was waiting for her to beg him actively, to give up her dignity, her status, and even everything to... beg him!

Please ask him to save the Saint.

"I......."

Clotia gritted her teeth, tears of humiliation making her eyes slightly moist.

As long as I say these words, even if I can save the Saint, I will never be able to return to... the place I love the most.

Considering how despicable this Morning Star is, will he really believe in himself when it is just a simple oath and a simple promise?

There is no...other choice.

I'm sorry, Lady Saint, I disappoint you.

But I also....have no choice!

"I swear by the Saint of the Abyss, and with the great God of the Abyss as my witness, I am willing to..."

Clotia took a deep breath, and most of the color in her eyes seemed to disappear.

Someone has to face all of this.

"I am willing to serve the Kingdom of Grullit forever and be a slave to His Highness Grullit Morningstar!"

Chapter 100: Your Highness's obvious intention should have been thought of earlier

[Due to the establishment of the Abyss Contract, Clotia's obedience will always be fixed at 60 until you actively cancel the contract! ]

[Clotia has been transformed into a special follower! 】

[Temporarily unlock related instructions such as changing Clotia's outfit, giving orders, modifying her honorific title, and requesting her to serve! ]

[Since Clotia is a temporary special follower, her compliance cannot be increased or decreased for the time being! ]

[The obedience accumulated by Clotia during her time as a temporary special follower will be temporarily stored and directly obtained after the complete transformation! ]

The sudden situation also made Chen Xing visibly stunned.

what?

How did...the Abyss Contract come about?

As a time traveler, Chenxing is very clear about the situation of the Abyss Contract.

It can be said that the slaves in the hands of the nobles or upper classes in this world were almost all forced or voluntarily accepted this kind of contract.

Once the slave violates the contract, his soul will be completely controlled by the power of the abyss and become a... walking corpse!

Because of this, many "slave owners" will deliberately lure or deceive slaves into doing things that violate the Abyss Contract.

After all, some people's XP...

But Chenxing never expected that Clotia would suddenly...

Did you say anything?

No?

And given Clotia's personality, it's impossible for her to be a coward!

Chen Xing's mouth twitched, and he had no idea what was going on over there.

But generally speaking......

This is a good thing... maybe?

"Now...are you satisfied? My most honorable...lord...master."

I felt my soul being held tightly by some invisible force.

Clotia also understood that this time... there was really no way out.

But as long as... as long as we can save the Saint, it will be fine.

At least if the Dawn Kingdom has the Saint Lady, everything still has a chance...

As for myself......

Maybe this is the best ending.

Not noticing that the Saint Lady was replaced, it is even possible that the Saint Lady suffered a lot of... persecution.

This in itself is a dereliction of duty.

This can also be considered a kind of...act of atonement, right?

"Why are you doing this? I'm not forcing you..."

Morningstar sighed.

When I thought about how I was just about to get rid of the other person, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"For me, I can offer you everything, my master. I only ask you... I only ask you to... spare the Holy Maiden... the Holy Maiden of the Dawn Kingdom..."

"Even now, with Dawn Country in such a state, do you still hope... that woman can survive?"

Chenxing was also a little confused.

That saint has caused such chaos in the Dawn Kingdom, and she still plans to spare the other party's life?

This Clotia is so blindly loyal that it's a little scary.

If it weren't for the contract, my decision might not have been wrong.

However, there is a contract. Even if the other party is still thinking about that woman, once the affairs of the Dawn Kingdom are over, Clotia will make the right choice sooner or later.

What's more, after the Dawn Kingdom was annexed, she would no longer have any other choice.

"She...she is innocent. If you are still not satisfied, I am willing to...exchange my life for another. As long as you can let her go, I am willing to become a walking corpse to apologize to you!"

Clotia's eyes remained firm.

All the sacrifices I made were for the Saint. If I can't save her in the end, I might as well...

"It's not a life for another. I'm not such a heartless person. For Preciel's sake, I'll give you this chance, but only once. However... the prerequisite is that you have the ability and opportunity to bring the saint back to me!!"

Chenxing’s answer was also very direct.

Letting go of your enemies? How is that possible?

All Chenxing wants is a chance to find out whether the other party is a time traveler or not!

If the other party is a time traveler, maybe we can get some useful information from him.

If not...

All Chenxing promised was to let the other person go and keep him alive, but he didn't say... in what way!

Of course, if the other party can't do it, it would be better if they could retreat when they realize the difficulty.

There is no reason for Morning Star to refuse such a sure-win "deal".

Anyway, Presil had the life-saving items she had exchanged with her, so nothing serious would happen.

But this kind of answer obviously made Clotia feel a little resistant.

Bringing the Saint to the Kingdom of Grullit would mean...

But.......

There is no other way.

Clotia could tell that this was the other party's final concession.

But in fact...it's not a complete dead end.

If Master Morningstar really trusts Preciel, then if Preciel begs for mercy...

But it just so happens that...

Now we can only take one step at a time.

At least this is the only chance, and we can’t miss it!

"I... understand. Please wait for good news, my most honorable... master..."

"There's no need to do that. Just call me Preciel. I hope you won't let me down again."

Chenxing waved his hand and closed the video.

But as the video screen turned off, Presil's expression also became... very ugly.

She knew that the prince's last words were actually... spoken to her.

My performance just now and my hesitation...will undoubtedly disappoint His Highness.

His Highness gave me so many chances, but I just...

This time, we must not waste the opportunity of His Highness's "reward".

The key this time must be thought through carefully.

His Highness agreed to save the Saint, but wanted to bring her to him...

Does this mean that His Highness wants to get something from the Saint?

What to get...

In terms of strength...it's impossible. His Highness's strength is definitely above that of the Saint. Those plans against the Abyss Warlock also show that the other party has no interest in the power of the Abyss.

Beauty? That's unlikely, His Highness has no shortage of women around him.

What else could it be?

Besides strength and beauty...

Some secrets of the saint?

Probably!

No wonder when he came to the capital of Dawn that time, he had the opportunity to destroy the capital by violent means, but he still didn't do it directly.

At that time, it was still uncertain where the real saint was imprisoned!

This time I was sent here with Clotia just for this matter, just to obtain certain secrets hidden in the real saint!

I am so...stupid!

His Highness's intention was so obvious, I should have thought of it earlier, but I tried to conceal the situation and almost delayed His Highness's important event! !

It turns out that the most correct decision is not to let the real saint die first!

Chapter 101: Bedbugs...Always bedbugs!

"You're not talking this time? Where's your arrogant behavior just now?"

In a secret basement outside the palace, Maria was pinching the saint's face, which had long been burned, and questioning with a sinister expression.

Behind the two of them was a seat built on a magic circle.

The magic circle is made up of grooves carved into the ground, with several special jars connected to the ends of the grooves.

These jars...are very similar to the "magic supply devices" that people in Dawn Country have in their homes.

The only difference is that the liquid in these jars looks more...weird and dangerous.

Faced with Maria's actions, the saint remained silent.

No intention to respond.

Because she is waiting and gambling at the same time!

Waiting for this opportunity that you have been waiting for, betting on such a... very low probability opportunity!

In fact, the moment Precier and Clotia entered the city, she was certain that they had come, and it was even possible that they came just for her.

This is not a calculation. It can only be said that this sister in front of me has shot herself in the foot.

In order to ensure that her trusted confidants could be rescued in time if they were captured, each of her trusted confidants actually had something they must carry with them, and she secretly left some marks on them that could only be recorded and detected by the power of the abyss!

It may be a special magical item worn to compensate for one's own shortcomings.
