The Devil's Contract.

Whatever the request, the devil's price is always the soul of the supplicant.

The devil's contract is subject to the checks and balances of the world's laws.

In other words, if the devil could force God to sign a 'devil's contract,' and once the contract was established, they could even drag God's soul into hell.

Li Aili let out a long sigh, "Sigh—"

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Joanna asked from beside her.

Li Aili said, "I remember, didn't Arthur particularly hate devils?"

Joanna opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Li Aili: "? What's wrong?"

Joanna hesitated for a moment, carefully choosing her words, "Before, Your Highness didn't hate demons so much..."

"but……"

Li Aili was intrigued by her hesitant manner. "Just say what you want to say, I won't get angry."

Joanna then said, "It seems so, it was when you had just married His Highness and moved to Constantinople."

"I heard it from Annie too..."

Li Aili frowned; it wasn't her at that time.

It was the original owner of this body...

No, if she and Arthur met during the Holy Dragon Era, then Arthur would never allow anyone to use her body.

She had overlooked too much in the past.

You should find someone to ask about these things.

Joanna was still describing what happened back then, "At that time... even though the Duke had married you."

"But he almost never sees you..."

Joanna carefully observed Ellie's expression.

"Later...once, you somehow got hold of a bottle of witchcraft and saved an injured little bird."

"At the time, His Highness was leading troops on an expedition. Upon learning of this, he immediately abandoned the noble territory he had half-conquered and rode back at full speed."

"Um... I knew that the Duke and you had a big argument that time."

"From that time on, the Duke hated the devil."

Li Aili: "..."

The information I got from Joanna was vague.

After thinking it over, Li Aili did come up with someone she could ask about these things.

Conrad.

As Li Ai Li walked back, she happened to run into Edward, who was leading Conrad toward her.

“Conrad!” Li Aili raised her hand and called out.

Conrad, carrying a dark brown leather suitcase, walked quickly a few steps and stood before Li Ai Li, offering his usual slight smile:

"Good day, Miss Ellie."

Li Aili was pleasantly surprised, "That's great, I was just looking for you."

"But what brings you here?"

Conrad picked up the leather suitcase. "His Highness Albert instructed me to deliver these items to His Highness Arthur."

"His Highness Albert has one more thing to say, which he asked me to pass on to His Highness Arthur."

Ellie, who possesses the heart of a sage, has a unique connection with Arthur.

She sensed Arthur's location with a slight effort.

Very well, Arthur is wreaking havoc on the potato field.

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

Conrad: "...?"

Li Aili led Conrad, whose expression had been unusually blank for a moment, to the potato field behind.

The knights and the children of the villagers stood in a circle around the potato field.

Everyone was waving flags and shouting.

"Your Highness! Do your best!!"

Arthur was performing "disarming landmines with his bare hands" in the field—no, it was "disarming potatoes with his bare hands."

The tall, handsome man was not wearing any armor, but only a navy blue nobleman's casual robe, and he strolled leisurely through the potato field.

If Arthur steps on a potato that's about to explode, he'll then 'lightly' stomp his foot.

Then, the ground trembled slightly.

He grabbed a nearby, sturdy rootstock that resembled a small tree and lifted it gently.

A huge bunch of potatoes was easily pulled out.

Edward, who was watching later, was completely bewildered. "???"

"Damn it! Does this potato even know how to be served to just anyone?!"

Edward was shocked.

When they went inside, they were almost blown into the air by a series of exploding potatoes.

How come the Duke went in and nothing happened to him?!

“Look closely, that little potato that explodes has cracked,” George, who had been watching from the sidelines, said, turning around.

real!

The potatoes that are closest to the ground and are also the smallest are the ones that will cause an explosion.

The potato was covered in cracks.

The other large potatoes, however, remained unharmed.

Edward gasped, "Hiss!"

He noticed Ellie approaching.

Arthur tossed the potato he was holding aside.

He stepped out of the potato field, took the coat from George, casually put his arm around Ellie's shoulder, and then leaned down to kiss her forehead.

Edward smiled so hard his eyes crinkled, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes deepened.

"Conrad is looking for you."

Ellie gave Arthur a shy nudge.

His possessiveness, which could erupt anytime, anywhere...

Arthur slowly looked at Conrad.

Conrad cleared his throat. "It's His Highness Albert."

So, Li Aili took Conrad and Arthur back to her simple dwelling, a small wooden cabin where they slept upstairs and worked downstairs.

Upon entering, Conrad placed the briefcase he was carrying directly on the square wooden table.

"This is something Albert asked me to give to you."

With that, Conrad placed his hand on the metal clasp that opened the suitcase.

Arthur immediately asked, "What is this?"

With a crisp 'click', Conrad opened the suitcase and answered Arthur's question:
