Chapter 14 - Mana Contract.

Natalia was baffled. In 10 minutes, she had gone from princess to prisoner. What the actual fuck. I was punished for a crime I never committed, and why is the punishment so harsh?

----------

HAHHAH,HAH-haH.

"What the fuck was that? I thought I would be trapped in there only. Man, I feel sad for that girl." He said, lying on the floor.

"You feel sad for which girl?" A pleasant, sweet voice sounded in my ears.

"That girl- princess. Yes, I do b--," Alex answered the sweet voice, then he realised that he was alone from the beginning. He slowly turned his head. 

She had long, shiny pink hair hanging down to the waist. Her skin was pale and silken like a baby, and she had crimson red eyes. And she smelled like bad luck. Unfortunately, she was not chained, and she was free.

"You are free". He asked her in a depressed voice.

Yes, I am, but why does it feel like you don't want to see me free? Which place is this? Why is this place dark? Is this inside Firex Kingdom?

"You don't remember," he asked. 

"NO"

HAH--

"Qureka, Amazing, Marvellous," he said, seeing her.

How bad is her luck? She had to go through a trial for 500 years to get a bloodline. And after waking up, she gets to know that there was a massacre in her kingdom. She thought it was an attack. But it was a rebellion by 3 dukes and the council. That is not enough is also got some nasty curse. And she died without knowing her family was dead.

Natalia knew about that gaze; it was something like, ' Oh, poor thing, you've gone through so much worse' 'Pity, yeah, fuck it was pity' "Why are you looking at me like that? And I am the princess of a kingdom"

"Oh, nothing. I was looking at your beautiful dress," Alex said with a smile.

Then she saw herself, then realised that her dress was torn to the point that she was practically naked; her boobs were exposed. The cloth was covering her from her stomach to her thighs.

She blushed and screamed, "You pervert, what are you seeing? Turn your head. Don't you have shame"

Alex smiled mischievously and said, Why bother hiding it when I saw it all"

" Close your eyes and turn that side,, " Natalia screamed in a rude tone.

"Okay, okay, don't scream, but I have a doubt. Can I ask you?" Alex asked

what she asked, dissatisfied with him.

What do you mean by " close your eyes and turn that side"?

 "I mean, you said close your eyes and turn your head. But if I close my eyes and turn my head, what will you do? You have some clothes or something to wear or something."

"EERHH, just shut up and turn", she made a sound and said.

"Okay"

[ Host ]

What is it? He said to himself while turning.

[She is bound to this place and to you. and she should be freed from this place]

'Explain it,' he said to himself.

[She is bound to this place by a curse and to you by a mana contract]

[The quest has updated: you can free her by either soul contract or by killing her]

Then what is the soul contract and mana?

[ Mana contracts are done with beasts to tame them. And with people. Under specific conditions, they are very dangerous]

[Host soul contracts are considered sacred and holy, and can't be broken. If they are bound once. they are bound until the death of both beings]

 Alex: If one dies and the other is still alive, does that mean the dead soul will still be bound to the other?

[Yes, host]

Hmm, it is troublesome. ok lets ask her. Thinking to himself, he turned to her

As Alex turned, she had covered herself with some leaves. 

Alex asked whether you got some of your memories.

No, I didn't. My last memory was when I was sleeping in the palace. Do you know something? Tell me, and where am I?

Hmm, okay, I will tell you. Just don't get surprised.

What is it? Tell me; I am curious.

[Host is recommended not to tell. She may have a mental breakdown when she learns her family is dead, her people betrayed her, and now she is in future. And she may also not believe you.] the system said in a cold voice.

'Yes, you are right.' He said to himself

Actually, you were trapped here. And while I was travelling, I saw a rune and came here. And then you were chained. When I came near you and touched you. I lost consciousness, and when I opened my eyes, you were here.

Hearing this, she was glaring at me and asked, "You are lying, right"

"Nope"

Have heard of Firex Kingdom. 

NO

They both stared at each other for a minute.

"You are serious"?

"Dead serious."

Haaa, okay then, which place is this? she asked him

"I don't know, probably some forest", he said

. "You know u came to this place."

"YES"

"And don't know where we are."

"I am new to this world."

"Are you joking"

"No"

"What the fuck? You don't know this place. But you came here," she snapped

"Yes", Alex replied calmly

A stone can give a better answer than you. then turns and tries to go towards the east. She goes; she feels something is calling her back. She ignores it and goes.

The more she goes, the more she feels tired. Her mana feels drained, and she collapses.

Seeing this alex rushes towards her. And extends a hand.

She does not think much and takes it.

rush. The mana rushes, and her mana reserves are full. She stands and sees him.

There was a sly smile. Then something comes to her mind. She checks her body. She makes an ugly face, then again, again.

You-you, how is there a mana contract between us? How? HOW ARE WE BOUND BY A MANA CONTRACT?

i don't know 

u don't know. You don't know what fuck you even know. Just tell me that. She screamed.

Okay, don't scream, but I want to do a soul contract with you, he said calmly. 

What does a soul contract even mean? And no, I don't want any contract with you. I am going to dissolve this mana contract.

but-

There is no, but I don't want it.

Okay, then I should kill you if there is no contract.

A chill ran through her body" Why? Why? You know I am a princess; if u kill me, you will face consequences. If it's about a mana contract, don't worry; I will get you a tier 4 level beast.

No, it was never about a beast. u have two choices: either have a soul contract or die.
