Devil's Pact.

No matter what one asks for, the price the devil offers will always be the soul of the person who wishes.

And the devil's contract is balanced by the laws of the world.

In other words, if the devil can force God to sign a 'devil's contract,' they can even drag God's soul to hell as long as the contract is established.

Li Ellie let out a long breath, "Hey-"

"What's the matter, Your Highness?" Joanna, who was beside her, asked.

Li Aili said: "I remember, did Arthur hate the devil very much? ”

Joanna opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

Li Ellie: "? What's wrong? ”

Joanna hesitated for a moment, carefully worded and said, "Before, His Highness didn't hate the devil so much......"

"But ......"

Li Aili was appetized by her desire to speak and stop, "Just say what you have, I won't be angry." ”

Joanna said, "It seems that you just married Your Highness, when you married in Constantinople. ”

"I also listened to Anne......

Li Ellie frowned, it wasn't her at that time.

It is the original owner of this body......

No, if she and Arthur met in the Holy Dragon Age, then Arthur would never let people use her body.

She had overlooked too much before.

Someone should ask about these things.

Joanna is still describing the events of that year, "At that time...... Although the Duke is married to you. ”

"But he almost never sees you......"

Joanna cautiously looked at Elle's face.

"Later...... Once, you got a bottle of witch potion out of nowhere and saved an injured bird. ”

"At that time, His Highness was leading his troops to go on an expedition, and when he learned about it, he directly threw down the noble territory that had attacked half of it, and galloped back on horseback."

"Uh...... I knew that the Duke had a big quarrel with you that time. ”

"Since then, the Duke has hated the devil."

Ellie Lee: "......"

From Joanna's side, the news was vague.

Li Aili thought about it in her mind, but she really thought of a person who could ask about these things.

Conrad.

Li Aili walked back, and happened to meet Edward who was leading Conrad to her side.

"Conrad!" Li Aili raised her hand and beckoned.

Conrad carried a black-brown leather suitcase, walked a few steps quickly, and when he arrived in front of Li Ellie, he smiled slightly as always:

"Good day, Miss Ellie."

Li Aili was pleasantly surprised, "Great, I was looking for you." ”

"But what did you come for?"

Conrad lifted the suitcase, "His Highness Albert has instructed me to pass these things over to His Highness Arthur. ”

"His Royal Highness Albert has one more word, please pass it on to His Highness Arthur."

Ellie, who has the heart of a philosopher, has a unique sense of Arthur.

With a slight sensation, she knew where Arthur was.

Well, Arthur is in the Scourge potato field.

Li Elli said to Conrad, "Let's go, he's in the potato field." ”

Conrad: "......? ”

Li Ellie took Conrad, who had a rare blank look for a moment, to the potato field behind.

I saw that the knights and the children of the people stood in a circle around the potato field.

Everyone is waving their flags and shouting.

"Your Highness! Come on!! ”

Arthur performs 'hand-to-hand mine manipulation' in the field, no, 'hand-to-hand manipulation of potatoes'.

I saw that the tall and handsome man didn't even wear armor, just a navy blue aristocratic robe, strolling leisurely in the potato field.

If Arthur stepped on a potato that was about to explode, then immediately afterwards, he would stomp his foot 'gently'.

Then, the ground trembled slightly.

He grabbed the rhizome that was as strong as a small tree nearby and lifted it gently.

A large bunch of huge potatoes was easily pulled out.

Later, Edward looked confused, "??? ”

"Damn it! Is this potato still on the plate?! ”

Edward was shocked.

When they entered, they were almost blown up by a series of exploding potatoes.

Why didn't the Duke go in and have nothing to do!?

"Look closely, that little potato that explodes, it's cracked." George, who had been watching from the sidelines, looked back.

It's true!

The potatoes that cause the explosion are the closest to the ground and the smallest in size.

I saw that the surface of this potato was cracked.

And the other big potatoes are safe and sound.

Edward gasped, "Shhh ”

Noticed Ellie coming.

Arthur tossed the potato in his hand aside.

He stepped out of the potato patch, took the coat from George's hand, grabbed Ellie's shoulders as it should, and then lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

Edward's eyes were crooked with a smile, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were a little deeper.

"Conrad looking for you."

Ellie nudged Arthur a little shyly.

His possessiveness that occurs anytime and anywhere......

Arthur looked slowly at Conrad.

Conrad coughed lightly, "It's His Highness Albert." ”

So, Li Elli took Conrad and Arthur back to her simple residence, a cabin where she slept upstairs and worked downstairs.

After entering, Conrad directly put the suitcase in his hand on the square wooden table.

"This is Albert I must pass it on to you."

With that, Conrad's hand rested on the metal clasp that had opened the suitcase.

Arthur immediately asked, "What is this?" ”

There was a crisp click, and Conrad answered Arthur's question as he opened the suitcase:

"Some ......"

Before the words fell, I saw the official documents in the suitcase, scrambling out of the small suitcase in a tsunami-like manner......

"Text."

When the last word fell, the ground and the table were covered with parchment rolls.

Li Aili lowered her head with a blank face.

I saw that the parchment rolls were piled up to my ankles.

Arthur: ".................."

Conrad coughed a little unnaturally, "The suitcase was prepared by Miss Victoria. ”

Arthur: "......"

Conrad: "His Highness Albert has one more word. ”

Arthur: "Say." ”

Conrad: "His Highness Albert said, 'Please treat the Lich as an intelligent being who deserves a legitimate right!'" ’”

Arthur asked rhetorically, "If I hadn't treated him as an intelligent being, how could I have given him these official documents?" ”

Conrad: "......"

Despite all that, Arthur eventually got to work on these duties.

And, the two knights guarding the door, George and Edward looked at each other tacitly and exchanged glances.

When Li Aili turned around to make lemonade, she happened to see half a bubble through the wooden door:

【…… Demon, it's normal at the moment. 】

【…… Not an evil lich, and he has no intention of seizing power with His Highness......]

Li Aili withdrew her gaze.

Place a glass of lemonade gently on the table.

"Honey, you take care of these official duties first, and I'll take Conrad to visit the territory."

Arthur swept the document with ten lines at a glance, and then wrote a line of annotation on it in domineering and smooth floral fonts:

[Come up with this idea, your brain is in water?] 】

At the same time, His Royal Highness Arthur said to Ellie in a low and gentle tone, "Come back early to accompany me." ”

Ellie Lee: "......"

Li Elli pulled Conrad all the way out of the city gate.

"Conrad, how much do you know about Arthur's deal with the devil?"

Conrad whispered back, "All, Miss Ellie, I know everything. ”
