Chapter 82: An Unfair Contract
"But you said yourself, pretending to be a royal family could be punished with beheading."
"Not if you do it well." Ava hates that glint. Marvin was just like telling him to take responsibility alone for the contents of the contract.
"Then "official duties as a princess"? I need to know first what his job description looks like."
"If so, it has been summarized in this book." The prince issued a journal that, although blue, was the same shape as what Eve gave directly to his inventory.
Moreover, "A timeless contract like this, isn't it no different from slavery? I thought Edodale had wiped out the legalities of the slave system hundreds of years ago."
"You can still modify it."
Then tell me from before!
Signing a contract should not be done in a hurry.
"I'll read his duties first, tomorrow we meet again to discuss this agreement again." Marvin who returned to calm, just drank his coffee silently.
But before Ava left, she still had to make things clear, "Omong-by the way, my real name is Rina. Rina Hoffman."
"Of course," the man nodded lightly. Ava's eyebrows twitched. "And if you really mind when I wear what your brother really has, I'll move rooms."
The silence that passed every second made Ava more impatient, until finally Marvin opened his mouth, his gray eyes glaring far past the window framing the clear sky. "Ah, it's okay. I'm even happy when you wear it" said the man with a wry smile.
Whatisthis?
Wasn't she the one who had just threatened to execute Ava just because she was wearing Eve's dress?
Whatever.
And one more thing.
"What about your parents?"
Ava notices a cup of coffee that stops in the air, Marvin then looks at her with shaken pupils. Oh, he hasn't thought that far. Marvin's two fingers immediately fused together as he thought, "Later you'll definitely be invited to family dinner, just be normal." In other words, the king and queen did not know about the agreement between Ava and Eve.
"I hope you realize that I don't have any mana, unlike princess Edodale."
"What?!" Ava had guessed. But it turns out Marvin quickly mastered himself, "Ah, sorry. For that matter, we can make up that the journey of brother for four months yesterday damaged the heart of which Brother or something."
Makes sense, less is more.
A person's physical injuries, curses, or skills can affect an individual's abilities. Although cases are rare, which heart leak is the source of a mage's power can occur.
Ava agrees.
And as they feared, Ava had to attend the royal family dinner, the maid with the box mustache picked her up straight away.
Ava didn't want to make a fuss and meet the impromptu schedule. After being dressed, feeling excessive considering he was just going to eat, Ava walked the hallway to the banquet hall.
After a pair of tall doors were opened by the two warriors on guard, the table that was tens of meters long was decorated by a wreath every cubit. However, only four seats were used. The end seat, the head piece, was occupied by a middle-aged man who still had his good looks left from the sharp carving of his face. The king. Then on the right, the graceful woman gowns gold and tightly bun hair without a single stray hair, the queen. On the other hand, Marvin and Ellijah sat side by side. Ava actually does not know where to sit, the complicated rules of the kingdom have certainly set it up as well, fortunately Marvin gives instructions from his eye code. The place is facing his fake sister. After greeting, "Good night, Your Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen, Duke Frost, and Prince Marvin," a servant pulled his chair back, Ava finally sat down.
But not for a second, the question has come from the most powerful man at the table, "How was your trip four months ago?"
Okay, time for storytelling.
