"Ha~!"
With a yawn that accompanied his awakening, Coco stretched.
She blinked, looking at the contract handed to her.
"?"
Koko was still a little sleepy and looked up at the person in front of him with a blank expression.
She has a tall figure and a head of beautiful hair.
It's a woman.
If Kokot remembers correctly, Victor said he had a sister.
Their scents are very similar; this must be the person in front of me...
"You are Lily..."
"Kokot Yad, you're not mistaken, are you?"
Lia spoke first with a smile, which surprised Kokot.
Lia pointed to the contract and said:
"You just need to sign your name here."
As she spoke, Lia took out a pen and handed it to Kokot.
Cocotte took the contract in a daze, looked at the words on it, and suddenly became much more alert, sitting up:
"Working for the Clevner family, eight hours a day...with weekends off...room and board included..."
After reading it, Kokot's hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
"This...this...this, this isn't right!"
"Hmm? Something's not right?"
Leah looked at the contract with some doubt; these were already the conditions for the lowest-level workers in the Clavenna family.
She looked at Cocotte and said as if suddenly realizing something:
"Oh, I get it."
Kokote breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, only to see Leah hand her a different contract.
It was written very clearly in white on black paper:
The person is entitled to a full day off, but if the Clavina family encounters difficulties, the signatory will be needed to resolve the problem.
"This one offers more freedom."
“Victor said you are a fourth-tier mage and a former councilor. This job is indeed more suitable for you.”
Koko was getting a little frantic.
"No, no, no! Why do I have to work? All I need to do is sleep!"
Lia still had that same smiling expression.
“Well, Victor said that the Clavner family doesn’t support idlers.”
"Of course, you can choose not to sign."
Kokot suddenly saw hope.
But then she saw Leah's somewhat unfriendly smile, and a bad feeling rose in her heart.
“Victor said that if you don’t sign, he will tell your people where you are.”
"Ah, I don't really understand these things either. I'm just a messenger."
At that moment, Lia's smile seemed like a devil to Kokot, seeping into his heart.
So, with three choices, which one do you choose?
Cocotte raised her head, slowly closed her eyes, and let the tears stream down her cheeks.
These are tears called 'sadness'.
Tears of 'suppressed frustration'.
If she could choose again, she would never choose to go to Victor's mansion, even if it meant sleeping in the magical turbulence of Endymion.
He's a complete bastard!
Cocote opened his eyes, a few glistening tears still lingering at the corners of his eyes.
Since we can't resist, we might as well submit.
"The first one looks too tiring, I choose the second one!"
"real?"
Lia's smile widened even more.
"real!"
Cocote nodded with absolute certainty.
Only then did Lia allow Kokot to sign his name on the second contract.
This contract has magical restrictions; Victor must have imbued it with some magic.
After all, only the magic power of a fourth-tier mage can restrain another fourth-tier mage.
The moment Kokote finished signing the contract and placed the pen in Leah's hand, he poured it into the clouds.
"I've signed it, so... there shouldn't be anything else for me to do, right?"
She clearly remembered that the contract stated she could rest all day unless there was some trouble that required her to work.
Uh... whatever the matter is?
Koko suddenly discovered something.
If there are things to do every day.
Does that mean she has to go to work every day?
"It's over."
Cocotte had no way to back down now; she had already signed the contract. She was filled with regret as she reflected on the wording trap she had fallen into.
Lia smiled and said to her:
"Then, get ready to start your first day of work."
......
The carriage slowly drove up to the Duke of Riviera's residence.
Koko sat on a cloud, dozing off.
Upon seeing that someone had arrived, the servants hurriedly ran inside the mansion to inform them.
Soon, Duke Reeves appeared at the gate of the mansion.
He paused slightly when he saw Cocotte.
"Councilor Yad?"
Cocotte covered his mouth, yawning as he glanced at Duke Reeves:
"Oh, it's you."
When he was a member of parliament, Kokot didn't see many other mages.
But the Duke of Reeves was one of the few she remembered.
He once went to the magic capital and learned some powerful magic, which he brought back to the empire.
However, I have little recollection of those Kokote.
She said with a hint of resentment:
"Don't call me that, I'm no longer a member of parliament."
"Oh, I understand."
Duke Reeves nodded to her, already understanding.
Viktor became the new councilor, but the Mage Council naturally wouldn't break the rules for Viktor alone.
There will definitely be a victim who loses their parliamentary seat.
