141 Dekan’s Whisper
Soon, Chloix returned from the upstairs bedroom where he had stored his luggage and handed over a spare contract to Dekan.
“Sign it, and we’ll be even.”
Dekan passed the contract and pen to Judith.
He felt like this line and action had already happened twice today.
This time, when Dekan and his two companions came to Tristin City, they also planned to scout for talent during their free time.
They wanted to see if there were any talented young girls on the streets of Tristin City that they could discover.
Unexpectedly, they had already found two capable girls that day.
Judith exuded a noble aura while also having a delicate and youthful appearance.
As the Holy Knight Commander, her dignified presence was unmatched.
And she could complement their team, which already had the spirited young girl Flora and the pure “young girl,” Ice Snow Princess, by adding a touch of sensuality to the group!
There was always a certain indescribable feeling about the golden-haired female knight.
Added to that, Judith’s absolutely powerful physical abilities meant that long performances or high-intensity dance practices would be no problem for her.
She was truly a born idol.
Judith took the contract, deciding to give it a quick once-over.
If there were no major issues, she’d sign it and be done with the whole thing.
After all, she didn’t want to remain in someone else’s debt indefinitely.
However, as Judith flipped through the contract, her brow began to furrow deeper and deeper.
“Idol? Planning? Did you grab the wrong contract?”
“No, no, I want you to become an idol. You’ll sing, dance, perform, and let everyone see your cute side.”
“You’ve got to be joking! I am the Holy Knight who serves the Goddess! How could I possibly become a performer!”
“This is a new way of spreading the faith, and it also allows people to feel the love of the Goddess.”
“Impossible! The Church would never permit me to do such a thing!”
“You were critically injured in the battle with Evans and can’t continue as the Knight Commander for the time being. Switching to an administrative role is reasonable.”
“That’s not the truth!”
Judith shouted, her tone righteous.
“Hmm? I was planning to include in my report ‘In the process of killing Evans, Knight Commander Judith gave her all in battle, delivering the key blows to Evans, which enabled the final victory.’ If that’s not true, then I won’t write it that way.”
Dekan shook his head, his eyes filled with regret.
“Ugh! It actually is… relatively true, so I recommend you still include that part…”
Judith seemed suddenly aware, then hesitated to reply.
“Then it’s decided. Sign the contract quickly. You’ve already achieved glory and should start considering the next stage of your life.”
“No! Absolutely not. I’m already thirty… How could I possibly sing and dance like a young girl!”
“It’s fine. There’s someone over two hundred who hasn’t complained about anything. Why are you worried? You look like a young girl, and your voice sounds like a young girl’s. Therefore, you are a young girl.”
“Over two hundred?”
Judith clearly noticed the highlight.
“You’ve had the Ice Snow Princess become an idol?”
“Um, she’s already joined our agency. An eighth-tier idol, it’s not embarrassing.”
“How… could this happen?!”
Judith covered her forehead in disbelief, her body beginning to sway slightly.
She felt that everything since coming to Tristin City that day was too surreal.
Is there something wrong with this world?
While Judith was lost in thought, Dekan asked again:
“Ms. Judith, didn’t you swear an oath to the gods?”
“To spread love and peace to everyone, and since our company is legal and compliant, this does not violate the law, nor does it violate ethics.”
“Or do you want to break your oath to the Goddess?”
“You wouldn’t want to shame her, would you?”
Dekan took a step closer with a smile, speaking near her.
“I, I…”
Judith felt as though she had been tricked by Dekan.
Refusing the contract would make her seem culpable.
But she was also very clear.
Signing this contract.
In a sense, would effectively end her life!
“This is the punishment given to you by the gods.”
“It is also the trial given to you by the gods.”
“It is even more so the mission given to you by the gods.”
“Admit it.”
“Accept it.”
“Let the gods see your composure and loyalty.”
“Go forward into a new life.”
“You are the most fortunate of the girls favored by the Goddess…”
“You will praise the greatness of the Goddess in another way, allowing everyone to like and adore you while feeling the love of the Goddess…”
Dekan’s voice was like the whisper of a demon, lingering in her ears.
“I… I…”
Judith felt as if her brain might overheat, operating at high capacity.
However.
Dekan noticed that Judith seemed to be most emotionally affected by the latter sentences.
Could it be that she had secretly desired to become popular?
Was this the trouble of an older young girl?
Because of her high status, her solemn profession, and her immense power, had she been unable to even find a boyfriend?
Dekan seemed to know how to persuade her now.
“You’ll become very popular, no longer being looked up to as the Knight Commander, but beloved by millions as an adorable girl… This may be the only opportunity you’ll have in your entire life.”
As Dekan spoke those final words, he could clearly sense Judith’s thoughts becoming disarrayed.
He had guessed right.
Thus, Dekan secretly used the “Three Corpse Frenzy” within an extremely small range, affecting Judith.
“Ahh! I understand now, I’ll be an idol then!”
Judith clenched her teeth and snatched the pen, signing her name on the contract.
“Let’s make it clear first, this is just for the Goddess, for my faith, to repay your kindness and express my apology!”
While handing back the contract, Judith also declared.
“Loyal to the gods as you are, you shouldn’t break the contract, even if you can afford the penalty.”
Dekan, smiling, took back the contract and asked.
“No! You can trust my loyalty to the gods!”
Judith firmly shouted.
“Fantastic, then starting today, our Happy Agency idol group is officially established.”
Dekan nodded in satisfaction.
Not only had his thoughts been realized, but he had also gained a very nice employee.
Tonight he could have a restful sleep.
It had been a perfect day!
He had worked hard on his job, learning, and living.
Dekan suddenly thought about one more issue.
If it came time for these two new members to gather in the Capital City to practice, record songs, and film their first MV, they would probably scare Flora.
Oh no.
The fool might not even recognize that her two partners were the Princess of Ice and Snow and the Knight Commander.
Dekan was actually starting to look forward to the meeting of the truant and the two newcomers.
