Chapter 193 First Contract
"All debt on your family will be cleared. You will be allowed to go anywhere in the kingdom. You won't be charged or held accountable for breaking any rules or laws. You will above everyone else in the hierarchy…"
Zilan was currently reading the list of things Jason had stated. It included four more minor things before coming to an end.
"Isn't that a lot of things?" Aysel spoke up for the first time.
She had expected one or two things from the list but asking for these many at once was too much. Even if Julian was somehow removed from the throne, there was no guarantee that they could provide all of those things.
"You do realize that what I am asking for are the things that you've been enjoying for the entirety of your life?" Jason questioned with an emotionless face.
Zilan and Aysel exchanged a silent glance, both of them realizing that Jason was telling the truth.
Even though Zilan had been unbearable at times, they had been able to enjoy the benefits of being a royal without facing any problems.
"Thats true…" Zilan agreed.
"Then its settled. If you can give me these things, I will be try my best to not only break the curse on you both but help the others on your side as well." Jason finished.
"Aysel, do you think Hiro would agree to this?" Zilan immediately questioned.
Aysel looked doubtful but after thinking about it for some time, she nodded. "He might not like the deal but if its truly helpful, he will agree to it."
"I guess we can make this deal with you," Zilan looked back at Jason. "But just so you know, Hiro would be the one mainly responsible for fulfilling this since he is the next in line to the throne. If we throw Julian away, he becomes the king."
"No problem. Just smear the bottom of that list with your blood and we will be good to go." Jason replied in a carefree manner.
Internally, he was thinking about his cousin who was also the next in line to the throne. Jason felt that he needed to meet Hiro somewhere in the near future to discuss things with him.
'He is my cousin after all. A royal cousin.'
In front of his eyes, Jason saw Zilan smearing some of his blood on the bottom of the paper. Jason took the paper from him and did the same.
His black blood stood in contrast to the normal red one belonging to Zilan.
"Now for the finale…"
Jason reached inside him and called upon Sancus's divinity. The purple pen instantly appeared in front of his face.
A purple glow surrounded the pen as its cap opened on its own. The pen slowly moved downwards and touched the piece of paper with its tip.
It vanished after doing that, leaving a tiny dot of blue ink on the paper. However, this dot was enough to make sure that the contract between Zilan and Jason would stay binding no matter the circumstances.
"Now its signed by the divinity of the god of oaths and contracts. You can no longer go back on your words." Jason stood up. "As for where you will be staying, ask grandma. She was listening the entire time anyways."
Risa chose this specific moment to enter the room and smiled at Jason. After all, he was right about her waiting there for him to finish.
"You can stay in one of the empty houses around the village. There is a barrier over the entire place so you don't have to worry about anything. You can get food from the town and if you want, Aysel can come here to practice." Risa explained.
"Thank you for that." Zilan replied in a sincere voice.
"I'll show you the way to the house. Please wait outside." Risa gestured towards the door.
Both Aysel and Zilan got up at the same time and exited through the door. The moment they left, Risa created a soundproof barrier around her and Jason.
"Did you put any hidden conditions on the paper?" Risa questioned.
"No, I didn't. I can't do that even if I want to do it. I didn't get this divinity handed to me without a reason."
"Good. Though it might not really look like it, Zilan can be a great ruler and a good person. He just has been oppressed and molded into his current form by both his father and brother." Risa sighed.
"Do you think he can trust him after that? What if Julian is actually controlling him right now?" Jason asked with a grim expression.
He had already seen the powers of Julian's divinity. Zilan didn't have the protection of Sancus's divinity and could have easily been forced into a contract.
"He has been missing for a long time. He most likely found a place where Julian's powers couldn't work and managed to escape his orders. I will still be keeping an eye on him." Risa sighed again. "I will have to ask Amon to maintain the barrier for every second of the day."
"I want to meet him as well. Maybe he will be able to teach me some things about my demonic half," Jason muttered, remembering how a master like that was usually the person responsible for unlocking a mc's natural powers.
[ How many powers do you want, host? You already have so many of them yet you barely used them. ] The system pointed out.
'Its always best to have an extremely huge moveset. You can always meet a person who is resistance to some of your major abilities. I thought you already knew this.'
[ I did. I was just checking whether you remembered all of this or not. ]
Jason couldn't help but sigh at that. His system really was on a whole another level when compared with other systems.
"You can meet him now I guess. Issac should be lurking somewhere near the house. I am sure he has already heard this conversation so there is no need to explain things to him." Risa instructed.
Jason nodded and left the house, his mind thinking about the possible things Amon could teach him.
