Lawrend and Olgar held the blood contract in their hands and thought about the terms.
The two of them slit their wrists together and printed a thumbprint using it as the ink.
The blood contracts glowed bright red and turned to light that entered their palms.
"Done," Lawrend said.
"Yes. Thanks for having me. I expect a big compensation after this succeeds," Olgar said.
"I'll guarantee that you'll become a City Lord, at least," Lawrend replied.
Olgar nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Alright. You can stay here for now. We'll get someone else," Lawrend said.
Lawrend and Humility stood up together.
"Master, who's this other person?" Aleshia asked.
"He's… Really annoying. He set me up in a trap before," Lawrend replied with a wry smile on his face as he remembered what happened back then.
"Eh? Then why?" Aleshia asked in confusion.
"He's my pawn. I told him to lure Master in, which is why I was able to seduce Master," Humility answered.
"Ohh! That's interesting. Maybe I should get my own…" Aleshia held her chin in thought.
"Sister Aleshia, you can turn that annoying guy as your pawn, but we're gonna leave tonight, so it will be hard," Humility replied.
"Mm. I'll try again in the future," Aleshia replied and gave up thinking about it.
"*Cough*" Lawrend faked a cough to get their attention.
"Are you jealous, Master?" Aleshia asked.
"No. I just feel weird hearing you say those things," Lawrend replied.
"Hehehe. You will get used to it soon, Master," Aleshia replied with a cheery smile on her face.
"Let's go, Humility," Lawrend said and left the room with her.
"How strong are you now, Aleshia?" Olgar asked.
"I'm a High Mage already," Aleshia replied.
"Hmmm… I guess it's not a bad idea," Olgar muttered to himself.
…
"Master, wait! Where are you gonna go?" Amene shouted from behind them just as they were about to leave the door.
"We're gonna go to the Bruedin Clan to pick someone up," Lawrend replied.
"Can I come with you?" Amene asked.
"Yes. Where are you going?" Lawrend asked.
"I want to visit my little sister before we leave. She's still living in the Grey Clan, and I want to say goodbye to her before we leave tonight," Amene replied.
"I see. I'll also visit the Grey Clan. It's been a while since I saw Feli," Lawrend said.
"Thank you, nyaaa!" Amene wrapped him with her arms.
"Why don't we go to the Grey Clan first, Master? That way, we don't have to bring Kenova to the Grey clan," Humility said.
"That's a good idea. Let's do that," Lawrend replied.
Humility, Lawrend, and Amene rode a carriage and headed to the Grey Clan.
A dozen minutes later, they arrived in front of a lavishly-looking mansion. It wasn't as amazing as Humility's, but it's still something, not a poor clan can have.
Once they exited the carriage, the guard at the gate immediately recognized Amene.
"Catgirl, welcome," the guard said and smiled at her.
"Hello-nyaa. We're here to visit my little sister," Amene calmly replied.
"Huh? Who are they?" the guard asked in puzzlement.
"This is my Master, Lawrend Horiel and… Humility Undra," Amene introduced with her hands pointing to them.
"Lawrend… I feel like I have heard that name before…"
The guard scratched his head with his hand and tried his best to remember it.
"Master is the Prime Student of the Undrasil Mage Academy," Amene said after seeing that he couldn't remember.
"AH!! Forgive me for my rudeness! The Head of the clan told me that you could enter anytime you wanted," the guard bowed to Lawrend deeply.
"Thank you. Forgive me for my ignorance, but who is the Head of the Grey Clan?" Lawrend asked.
"The Head of the Grey Clan is the Purple Thunder Grand Mage. Sir Lawrend, can you please sign this sword of mine? I'll have it engraved by the blacksmith later."
The guard presented his sword to Lawrend with both of his hands.
"Alright. No problem."
Lawrend took the sword and signed it using his lightning magic.
"Ahhh! You used your lightning magic! Thank you very much! Please enter."
The guard admired his flamboyant signature engraved on the base of his sword's blade. From now on, he would treasure it like it was his child.
Amene led the way inside, and Lawrend and Humility followed behind her.
"Ehehehe. Master is so popular," Humility said teasingly.
"If you revealed your identity, I would be forgotten by that guy," Lawrend retorted.
As this was a clan, there were other mansions behind the one in front of them. Nimela was staying in one of those mansions.
They walked through a stone tiled path and arrived in front of a rather large mansion. It was at least 5 times smaller than the Grey Clan's main mansion.
A maid was standing on the door and noticed Amene immediately.
"Amene! Hello! Can I rub your ears again?" the maid asked.
"O-Okay…" Amene nodded her head rather reluctantly.
The maid walked up to her and rubbed the back of Amene's orange ear with her fingers.
"They feel so soft and relaxing. Thank you, Amene," the maid said before she waved her hand and left.
"You let anyone touch your ear like that?" Lawrend asked her in disbelief.
"It's not like that, Master. She was too pushy that I eventually gave in. Besides, her ear rubs feel good…" Amene confessed with a red face.
"Hehh… It feels good, huh. I think I have to punish a cat tonight," Lawrend said to her as he side glanced at her.
"N-Nyaaa! Please be lenient, Master. I won't let her touch my ears ever again," Amene pleaded and held his hand.
"You already know what kind of punishment I give. You're probably just gonna enjoy it," Lawrend said to her and shook his head.
"Nyaaa! So that's what Master meant. You should punish me everyday, then," Amene said with a shameless smile on her face.
"Pfft! Hahahaha!"
Humility couldn't hold back her laugh.
