Chapter 4

I think carefully. "Work as a helper and housekeeper of your house. No matter how much salary I ask, you will give. And I will be able to live and eat for free." I repeated what he had said earlier. "Is that all ?" My voice was still shaking.

"That's just it. Vander, please translate what's in the contract for her."

The creature Vander approached me. Actually even just. he's earthy, he's cute. He looks like a male doll with sharp ears, a tomato-like nose, shiny eyes and his neck-length hair is golden brown.

"This is it!" And the smallness of his voice! Where did he get the big voice that he threatened me with when I entered their house?

Vander explained to me the terms of the contract. It's a bit poisonous because he repeats other words. Looks like a broken plaque. And I really want to say that I understood what was written there but I didn't say either.

"Servant, cleaner, cook, deliverer, researcher ..." Only 'people'! So far, nothing has been posted there against my human rights. "Are you sure this is all I'm going to do?"

"Yes"

"Do you have any other purpose in mind?"

"Um, you're the one who said you're a witch." "Wizard." He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Wizard, witch, magic-chuchu, sorcerer, or whatever! Maybe later you'll sell my body and soul to the devil."

"Tsk! I don't worship demons! We're not demonic! Do I look demonic?"

"What do I know! You hocus pocus me, you have a gnome with you, and everything is so unreal! Maybe you just disguise yourself"

When I said that, he slowly approached me. I haven't fallen behind yet because the wall is behind me. He took my hand and held it to his smooth, white face.

"This face is real. This is me. Don't question my good looks." I was devastated because what he said was true-he was handsome! But windy too. "Ten seconds for you to decide."

"Ten seconds? So fast!"

But he started counting anyway.

"Ten." It’s just a dream, Yana!

"Nine." Wake up.

"Eight." No! Totoo 'to!

"Seven." His offer is good.

"Six." And he says he's not a demon.

"Five." Of course, he didn't look like that.

"Four." And I need it now too!

"Three." My life depends on it!

"Two." Think fast, Yana !!!

"One."

"OKAY! Okay! I agree!"

He smiled. Okay, he won. I really don't have a choice either.

Vander pulled out a dagger. What's that for? Did I think they wouldn't hurt me? "This is a life contract. The blood itself is the signature of the name."

Brylle first injured his palm and then signed his part in the contract. I was stunned by the amount of blood that flowed from his wound but it seemed like nothing was on him.

Next Vander approached me, then he injured my left palm. I just close my eyes in extreme pain. "Use it." He gave me a pen to use as tool and my blood as ink.

There is really no arrears. I have already written my name on the contract. "Good decision, Alyanna." Then Brylle looked at Vander.

"Hide it, Vander."

"Yes yes yes, Master!" Vander even saluted and soon after, he swallowed the contract! He ate the paper!

“Don't be surprised Alyanna, Vander will be able to completely spit out the life contract he swallowed."

I felt sick, but I just ignored it. "Now that I've signed-"

"That's not over yet." He preceded me in what I was going to say. So it's not over yet. "The contract you signed is about your service to me. That means, you will only follow my orders. You are not allowed to leave, you are not allowed to look for another job, you are not allowed to break my orders."

"Eh ,what to do next?"

"Initiation Ritual." Brylle Zaffiro walked away and he stopped . It was as if he was playing with the cane he was holding and it suddenly emitted a strange light.

I wanted to turn a blind eye to the excessive glare, but I couldn’t help but watch him. A magic circle formed on the floor and Brylle was already inside.

"The spell has begun, I consecrate this circle." He tapped the floor with his cane and it became even brighter. "Alyanna Rohan, please join me."

He calls me but I am afraid to approach. Brylle's stand was also surrounded by fire.

But Vander pushed me so I was trampled in the circle. I was just surprised because the fire didn't burn. In addition, the wound on my palm as well as on other parts of my body healed .

When Brylle and I were face to face, he held out his left hand to me. I held out my left hand to him and he smiled. I don't know what he was thinking and what my reaction would be.

..."Elements of Wind, Fire, Water and Earth. Bless my magic, strong my will."...

I was stunned by what was happening. He tightened his grip on my hand and continued.

..."At this scared space, this hallowed circle, I bring Alyanna Rohan, standing before me....

...I honor her to witness this rite,...

...And welcome her to her new path of life."...

I entered correctly, didn't I? They said they would be sure. "Do you accept, Alyanna Rohan? Please answer, 'I will."

I just nodded. "Yes. I will." He just smiled at me for my quick answer.

"I'm thrilled by your presence of mind." He still seemed to laugh and I was pissed because I seemed to be blushing. And I do not know why! I shouldn't be like this!

..."Harken all you guides and spirits. Today, this girl is mine. So mote it be!"...

Wait ... is what I heard true? This. Girl. Is. Mine? I'm his? What!

..."Behold elements of Wind, Fire, Water and Earth. Please grant us the ring to complete this vow."...

Just come again! What ring? What vow? Just like a wedding? My panic only increased again when there was dust on my ring finger. And when I blinked, I was even more shocked when it suddenly turned into a ring! I noticed Brylle already had the same ring on his ring finger.The only difference is, the crystal of my ring is white and colored black is on him.

..."Blessed be this ring, for it shall signify this pledge."...

He kissed the ring on my finger. At the same time, my heart beat faster. I was even more confused!

..."And blessed be your lips, for it shall never talk our secret."...

Lips? He brought his hand to my face and seemed to want me to kiss the new ring he was wearing as well. So I did.

..."Hear ye Mighty Ones, our circle has ended. This spell draws to its end, but none will be forgotten. For if ever she cause me pain, sorrow and ill Then let there be death that only I can seal."...

Death? Even though I don't know anything about that spell, I still understand what it means. He made sure that I would die if I told him his secret or if I hurt him. How can I do that?

I can't believe I'm okay with this spell! Now I'm spellbound with someone I still don't even know or trust! "Just a moment Brylle-"

"Sheesh! It's not over yet." Not yet over? What else is missing?"

...“As I will, so mote it be....

...I may now seal this with a kiss. "...

He quickly said the really last part of the spell. And the next thing I knew, Brylle Zaffiro gave me a kiss. On my lips.
