The reason Silian couldn’t leave the Imperial Shrine.

The contract that had to be made under the pretext of protecting his younger brother. That’s what Sesenia intends to do.

“Even if I have multiple lives.”

“It’s not like that, at least not right now.”

“Still hesitating, huh? Now that you have to do it. Are you scared?”

“No, I’m not scared. But at least you should show it. How useful the person you’re contracting with is. You should see it and then make the contract. Contracts need to be more cautious than you think.”

He was born as royalty.

He was being chased, but there was no one trying to use him. So he did it, even though he knew the weight of his contract. That’s why he couldn’t understand the situation.

“Don’t act like a fool just because you’re going to make a contract. From the beginning, they said that contracts should be carefully examined.”

“…Are you treating me like a fool right now?”

“Yeah. Good people like me are rare. Watch carefully and do it.”

With sharp words, Sesenia laughed softly, making him even more bewildered.

“Ha…”

But Sesenia pitied him for being like that.

“He must have been desperate. He wanted to protect his younger brother. He wanted to save his younger brother who had been sealed unlike himself.”

That was all Sesenia knew.

The twins of Salmon, who were born as sins from the beginning. Salmon thought the twins were the wrath of the god. Although they were born as royals with unprecedented strength, the twins were symbols of doom. So, they sealed Peppe just because she was a girl and not a boy, suitable for inheriting the throne.

Carrying on the bloodline, marrying the strong to have children. The conclusion was that men were more suitable for spreading their seeds. Silian and Peppe, who were separated from birth. But Silian was filled with profound loneliness. And he found out. That he had a twin sister.

Still, he grew up hearing that she was fine, and he believed it. But when his father died and he had to take the throne, Silian learned the truth.

About his twin sister Peppe, who had lived a life that was not sealed but one that adults had tried to extract her power from, even if it was not wrong.

“So he asked the Empire for help.”

She didn’t feel good about it because she knew that Silian’s mistake was just one thing. Silian, who wanted to contract with anyone who could help him save his younger brother, and didn’t want to repeat the past.

“Then let’s go.”

“Where are you going?”

“I’ll go to my workshop, and you can go wherever you want. I also have to make a proper contract there. I have to become a trustworthy human being to my contractor, right?”

Silian smiled as if he found it amusing. Rather, he seemed to think that if he just left this place, he would be fine. Without saying anything else, he naturally sat down next to Sesenia.

As much as he wanted to kick him right away, Teddy, who was his owner and contractor, couldn’t do that, so he naturally intervened between the two.

“Can you move?”

“Next to my owner is my place.”

“…Are you really sitting next to your owner like a child and saying you’re going like this?”

It wasn’t that he didn’t move, but his appearance was a bit like that. Teddy, who had a good bone structure to begin with, had even stronger shoulders recently because he learned swordsmanship and exercised. So, the fact that such a person was stuck between the two of them…

“Both of you are narrow.”

Even so, Teddy didn’t seem to have any intention of backing down.

“Why do you have to be next to your owner? You haven’t made a contract or anything yet. Are you going to hide in that corner like you did earlier?”

“Do you hate it? Unlike you, I have a very noble bloodline.”

“Well, you’re just a slave.”
The chattering pair showed no signs of stepping aside. Whether it was their appearance that seemed a bit cute or not, Sesenia chuckled and got up from her seat, sitting next to Lizbet.

“Looks good.”

“Master!”

“I’ll go over there too.”

“No, you can’t. Let the two of them sit there quietly. This is an order. I can’t stand narrow spaces.”

“Then, I’ll…”

“I’ll go. Until we make the contract…”

“No.”

Like a dog and a cat trying to protect their owner, the two of them had no intention of stepping back at all. However, Sesenia firmly controlled them with a wave of her hand.

“If one of you comes over here, it’ll get cramped. Don’t come. It looks better when you’re together.”

“But, Mistress…”

“Also, I can’t control your strength, and sitting next to a guy who smells so bad is unnecessary.”

In the end, Silian stood up from his seat and hid his body in the darkness. Although it was a rather small carriage, he disappeared like a shadow.

“Uh, where did he go? Did he leave? Miss?”

“No. He’s still here.”

“Oh…”

Lizbet looked at Sesenia with a disappointed expression. It seemed like she had something to say if he had disappeared. Watching Lizbet, who was pursing her lips as if she had something to say, Sesenia tightly held her hand.

“You don’t have to worry about both of them. He’s not someone who will harm me.”
