“If you can’t get out of here, I’ll be in trouble too! Do something! You said the Emperor wasn’t interested in you in the first place! Why didn’t you think he was interested when he’s acting like this?!”
“I didn’t know this was going to happen! I’m sure he wasn’t interested in me!”
“Then what’s wrong with him?!”
We began to huff and fight again.
If the spell on the door hadn’t blocked out our yelling, our loud argument would have been heard from the outside.
After a while, both of us got exhausted and fell to the floor.
Next to me lying on the floor, Laroque pulled his hair with a frustrated face.
“The human I chose is so difficult! Why am I always like this?!”
“I feel bad whenever I listen to you.”
“You’re a total bully on the outside but on the inside, you’re a shy pervert! It doesn’t help. The world is a mess but you walk around pretending it’s fine.”
“You’re a little harsh.”
A second fight almost broke out. Fortunately, it didn’t happen because if we fought anymore, we’d lose our strength.
Lying side by side on the bed together, we stared at the ceiling with our hands together.
“I have no magic left. I’m not in the same condition as before, so breaking you out by force is impossible.”
“Is there anyone who can help you?”
“I’m not going to help you.”
“Why!”
“Because of you, I keep vomiting blood. Everyone thinks I’m going to die. They think I’ll leave quietly and kill myself. That’s ridiculous! I, of all people, would never harm myself.”
“That’s right. As far as I can see, you’ll live until the wall rots.”
“Thanks, Dragon.”
“Aghh, that b*tch.”
“You’re a scammer, you know?”
We turned our heads and glared at each other. Our gazes clearly expressed each other’s bad luck.
Anyway, he’s a dragon without a remote home.
“Can’t you do anything other than fighting with magic?”
“Not much. Most of my powers were taken away when I was sealed. I don’t know about the knights but I definitely can’t deal with the commander. Besides, there’s also a Swordmaster here.”
“Oh, sir. Why are you so competent?”
With my face in my hands, I resented my superior, whom I usually respect.
Shuline Emfester.
He was my superior, a deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. As well as a kind man who took care of me since I was young.
I respected him as a Swordmaster, but right now I find his competence annoying.
No matter how many knights or commanders I manage to shake off, Shuline will always find me right away from just a hunch.
“Contract!”
“Huh?”
I suddenly sprung up and Laroque, who was lying next to me, foolish eyes.
I shouted at Laroque.
“Magic cannot affect contracts!”
“Eh? No?”
“If we make good use of the rules in our contract, we might be able to get out of here! Even though there is a barrier, you can appear in front of me because it’s not magic. It’s part of the contents of the contract.”
Not all magic can affect each other. There was a loophole.
The contract was written and signed between the contractors.
The words in the contract were different, so I didn’t know if I could get out of here using the loophole in the contract.
“Wow! You’re pretty good!”
Laroque’s eyes glistened.
I put my hands on my hips with a triumphant look.
“Take out the contract. Let’s look at the contents and search for loopholes.”
“Eh?”
Laroque began to panic and avoided my eyes. She mumbled quietly.
“D-Do we have to look at the contract to search for loopholes?”
“Of course. Hurry up and give it to me.”
“T-The contract is long. Let’s look for another way.”
“What nonsense are you spouting? There’s no reason for you to act like this. Besides, there are only 13 pages. I’m used to looking at papers. I’ll finish quickly so give it to me.”
I waved my hand encouraging him.
However, Laroque wriggled his hands in a cold sweat and did not take the contract out.
“What is it? Are you hiding something?”
“T-There’s actually a little more to the contract.”
“What?”
“No! I’ve shown you everything on that day, but there’s a small collateral. I was afraid you’d be bothered, so I gave you a summary of the contract!”
An uneasy foreboding chilled my throat.
My eyes grew sharper and my voice came out cold.
That dragon deceived me.
“Give it to me right now.”
Laroque, who noticed my anger, avoided my gaze and summoned the contract. And something amazing happened.
“What is this?”
The contract papers appeared one by one, multiplying countless of times enough to cause a blast in the room.
The papers that filled the air, gathered and formed a thick stack in front of me.
It was as thick as the library’s encyclopedia.
Laroque wiped his cold sweat and laughed awkwardly when I looked at him flabbergasted.
“I-Isn’t this a little too much? This must be like 1700 hundred sheets of paper. Hahaha! “
So Laroque showed me 13 pages out of 1700 pages of the contract.
The remaining 1687 pages were completely new to me.
