“Hey?!”
The Ice Snow Princess’s tear-streaked face completely froze.
Her pearl-like silver eyes widened, filled with shock and disbelief, her red lips slightly parted.
She hadn’t even had time to recover from her sadness when a bizarre and overwhelming sense of joy completely ruined her emotions.
What on earth had happened?
The Ice Snow Princess wanted to think.
But her brain was as if it had been scrambled by the sudden absurdity of the situation, losing its ability to function.
She wasn’t sure whether she should continue crying, burst out laughing, or become angry.
Even with over two hundred years of life experience, she couldn’t deal with this situation.
The Ice Snow Princess’s brain had probably crashed.
“Chloix, how was my acting just now?”
Dekan couldn’t help but appreciate once more the expression on the Ice Snow Princess’s face, which looked like a network connection had been cut off, then asked Chloix.
“…”
Chloix was silent for a moment,
“Getting less and less like a human being…”
He critically commented.
…
“No! It’s impossible!”
Meanwhile, the other victim, Isabel, was relatively more lucid.
Her frozen expression gradually gave way to panic.
There was absolutely no way that Dekan could have freed himself from her control!
Isabel didn’t understand what method Dekan had used this time, to even be able to break the “Verbal Blood Oath”!
However, Isabel realized that Dekan seemed to have noticed her at this moment.
He wore an expression of satisfied contentment, as if he had just finished a satisfying meal.
Subsequently, while admiring Isabel’s look, Dekan walked towards her without any defenses.
“You… surely you…”
Isabel’s expression gradually became one of panic, her heart involuntarily pounding, even beating erratically!
She suddenly thought of a horrifying possibility.
All three crosses had pointed towards her back then…
Could it mean not that they were all correct, but all wrong?!
Isabel seemed unwilling to believe this fact and shouted toward Dekan, deceiving herself,
“Dekan! I order you not to come any closer!”
However, Dekan did not slow down even a bit.
“Look at what you’re wearing! I’ve been putting up with you for so long in my role as an anti-porn campaigner!”
Dekan yelled with a perfect excuse,
“Hands behind your head! Squat down and don’t move!”
The moment his words fell, Isabel couldn’t help but follow his order, grabbing the back of her head and squatting down shamelessly on the ground!
Considering her current stylish attire,
it was merely missing handcuffs to feel like she was being arrested right there on the spot.
“Why… why…”
Isabel mumbled blankly.
She realized that she hadn’t noticed she herself had become the servant!
It was only after Dekan gave her a true order that she became aware of an unseen force binding her soul.
If Dekan were to order her to bark like a dog lying down, she wouldn’t be able to resist.
“Haven’t you noticed that I willingly let you initiate the Blood Oath on me?”
Dekan continued to walk leisurely towards Isabel.
A faint smile played on his face, as if even the “Shadow Barrier” Isabel used last time was entirely within his expectations.
He stared directly at Isabel. The golden pupils in the center of his eyes seemed to hide the deepest black, like a black hole that could swallow everything, making Isabel tremble with fear.
Isabel suddenly became aware of an issue.
Dekan’s pupils…
weren’t they like this from before?
No!!
Dekan’s eyes are blue!
This person in front of me—it’s not Dekan!!
Isabel hurriedly examined her own soul, looking for the covenant embedded in it.
Whether as master or servant, at least the real name of the counterpart should be visible on that covenant.
She quickly found the very obvious covenant and started to check the information.
Except for the unidentifiable magic script from another world, there was
“Dekan Tarlomati”
an indelibly etched name on the covenant.
“Tarlomati…”
Isabel mumbled blankly.
She didn’t understand.
Dekan was born into this world without a surname.
He hadn’t been granted any noble name.
By the rules of the world, Dekan’s real name should be “Dekan”, regardless of everything.
He shouldn’t own a surname.
Unless…
“Tarlomati” wasn’t Dekan’s surname, rather, another name!
Thus…
The true meaning of “Dekan Tarlomati” was—
He is both Dekan and Tarlomati!
But who exactly is Tarlomati?
Sounds like a woman’s name, but there was no mention of it in the Rebirth Church’s intelligence at all!
Even if their information network wasn’t as comprehensive as the Kingdom Union’s, they shouldn’t have allowed someone to vanish completely unseen!
“You! Who exactly are you?! Our intelligence can’t be wrong!”
Isabel snapped back to reality, alarmed and fearful, shouting despite herself.
Even though she was making efforts to control her emotions, the trembling of her body could not be stopped.
The more she knew, the more Isabel felt overwhelmed by the fear of the unknown!
Dekan did not seem to care about Isabel’s panic, only smiling benignly as he said,
“Without a doubt, I am Dekan.”
“15 years old, studying at Hewenlit Academy.”
“I study hard, abide by the laws, and have never violated any school rules.”
“Everyday I live a simple life, occasionally going on an excursion in the Shadow World with friends to unwind.”
“My hobbies include researching and creating quality magic cards, ensuring they’re well-made, never aiming for an ill-gotten penny.”
“I also enjoy spending relaxing afternoons with friends, engaging in pleasant club activities and light-hearted discussions.”
“No matter how you investigate, this information is correct because these facts are true.”
Dekan’s voice was as gentle as the breeze that brushed across the earth.
“Of course…”
Here, his voice suddenly overlapped like a male’s and a female’s together, imbued with a strange and bewitching quality.
“Starting now, I am also your master, to whom you’ll dedicate your entire life. I hope we get along well.”
In Isabel’s eyes, Dekan’s figure began to flicker with an apparition.
It was a demon radiating with the holy aura of the highest rank, filled with an intimidating mystery.
Isabel’s whole body trembled as she grit her teeth.
Involuntary tears streamed down the corners of her eyes.
It wasn’t from humiliation, but rather from a genuine terror that gripped her soul, spreading to every inch of her body.
The cold spreading from the depths of her body to the surface made her forget the chill of her exposed skin.
She wasn’t sure exactly what she had gotten herself into yet,
But she only knew one thing for sure:
This person…this thing doesn’t belong on the earth!
