The whole panic over Emily's case calmed rather quickly after her judgment, some of them were dissatisfied that she didn't get exiled but if the victim himself didn't want her to be exiled, they couldn't raise their voice against it.

Eva publicly announced that she cut every right Emily has for the next leadership and how her activity was not the stand of the whole Kano tribe and how they wish this alliance to be successful and essential for them.

"Tsk~ idiot daughter of mine, I was embarrassed in front of both tribes, Nikol if you can correct her behaviour it would be a great help," Eva felt her energy returning back after knowing that her daughter wasn't going to be exiled and felt happy that she became a slave for Nikol.

After the previous day's judgment finished Eva and Lydia both personally came to thank Nikol for standing up on behalf of them since it might give rise to new problems for him, Eva and Lydia didn't want to danger the existence of the whole tribe for her sake.

"I don't know about that, she looks pretty stubborn, she didn't even thank me for rescuing her," In his eyes, Emily was just a stubborn brat with a huge personality problem.

"That girl! She's always been like this since the day my mother lost her consciousness," Eva knew she wasn't responsible but never in her life had she expected her to do something like this against someone that's helping them.

"So she wasn't like this from the beginning?" Hearing it, Nikol couldn't help but compare her to Alva who had to go through the same thing.

"No, that's why I thought someone like you might be able to correct her, it doesn't matter to me whatever method you use," At this point, Eva had more trust in him than Emily herself.

"I'll try anyway, I'm going back, I need to be present for the slavery contract, do you want to come and see it?"

"I'd rather not, I don't want to see her right now," She mumbled with a little sad look on her face which quickly vanished showing how strong this woman in front of Nikol is.

It had already been a whole day since the judgment so, Nym had been given the task of initiating her slavery contract.

I was confused at first about how they are going to do this but after entering the mansion, I saw Nym and Emily standing opposite to each other while Usha and Alva were observing them.

Emily had chains on both of her hands showing how low her status had fallen, normally criminals won't even be able to walk openly like this as most of them either get killed or get exiled so the number of criminals in the city is very low.

Even though there were no males in this place, they still had many criminals according to Alva, the number of sex criminals was almost null as they didn't even have normal sexual knowledge but murders and stealing are common things even in this world.

Hearing Nikol's footsteps everyone looked at him. Emily had a frown on her face seeing him but except for her others were happy,

"Nikol, you're late, we waited extra few minutes here, I wouldn't mind waiting for you but I hate to do it for this bitch," Alva had her most normal aggressive behaviour toward Emily, it was mostly because of how she acted with Nikol.

"Sorry, I met someone on the way here, so shall we begin this?"He had no clue what was going to happen.

There were only a few pieces of paper made with monster skin and a sharp-looking pin,

"Nym, what are these things for?" Curious, I asked looking at the chubby girl who was trying to act like this is the first time she met me.

"You must be Nikol, I'm the light mage who's going to help with this slavery contract, come here and stand in front of her, I will start exposing the process," Seeing her trying so hard, Nikol felt like smiling but, he decided to behave without bringing any more problems.

Emily was frowning the whole time but Nikol just ignored her since he disliked her attitude. He had no idea what he was going to do with her after she become his slave but he was sure of one thing, Nikol didn't want to do anything with her sexual.

"Let's start, master place a drop of blood on this parchment paper," She said while giving him the small pin.

He pricked the tip of his index finger with it and placed a drop of blood as she advised him, she did the same with Emily but without her consent.

"I beseech you, mother of all creation, hear thy creations request, forgive this sinner in front of me with this punishment and grant her salvation of yours," While she was chanting something like a spell, her mana started to act crazy causing Emily to grit her teeth in pain but Nikol felt next to nothing.

Slowly a crest appeared on the chest of Emily showing how disgraceful and low her status is,

"Contract complete, from today onward Emily has no right to refuse requests from Nikol and if she does, you will be hit with severe pain in your chest," Emily was shocked for a minute but after seeing her life is now on the hand of her enemy, she couldn't help but feel bitter inside.

"Does that mean if I go and tell her to die? She would do that?" Nikol was confused with this whole scenario.historical

"Well if this was a contract created by dark magic that would happen, but light magic slavery isn't like that," Nym started explaining how it works and what the commands that won't happen.

"So any life-threatening command will be cancelled, well that's good, anyway I'm not going to kill her," Nikol didn't have any interest in Emily instead he was more curious about how Nym did this whole thing.

"Congratulations, Emily, now you're a slave," Alva said with a mocking smile causing Emily to grit her teeth in anger.

During this whole process, she didn't even say a single word as she just kept glaring at everyone in the room.

"Alva don't, she's already punished so don't pick on her anymore," Usha was the one to knock some sense into Alva's head.

"Nikol, you can keep her inside your room, she won't get a room as she will be treated like a slave, it's your choice how you treat her but keep her with you, she will be a proper guardian for you," Since Usha knew her skill and talent, she decided to let two guard girls go back to their former duties while letting Emily do the job.

Leaving those words with him, Usha left while grabbing Alva since her punishment is also still pending.

"Nym, how did you do this? I thought your magic is not light?" After they left, Nikol whispered to her ears.

"I don't know, my mother taught me to do this, apparently it is taught to her by my grandmother,"

"This agreement is made between goddess and her creations that mean us, so don't worry it's real," She reassured him.

"I see so other mages can't do this, I can understand why light mages are valued so much here," Nikol understood why Usha was trying to protect Nym, she's basically a living treasure for the whole tribe.

"I'm going back, our chief will get suspicious if I stay with you too long," She left the room leaving him with Emily, who had a full-blown frown on her face.

"Tsk~annyoing," Nikol felt irritated seeing her face, no matter how beautiful she is, he couldn't see her as someone he would get along with.

"Come let's go back to my room, I'm tired," Since, Nikol had nothing else to do he decided to go back to his room.

Hearing his words, she tried to ignore him but suddenly she screamed in pain holding her chest,

"Ugh~"

"Did it activate because she disobeyed my order? I guess she really is bound to me now," He thought looking at Emily, who was kneeling on the floor with her face filled with anger.

"Tsk~ don't hurt yourself, follow me, I didn't really care even if you die, I tried to rescue you because of Eva and Lydia,"

"They are good girls unlike you," Nikol ignored her pained look and went back to his room. Knowing that refusing orders will only bring her more pain she decided to follow him.

He was honestly surprised because she didn't even talk a single word along the hallway as she just kept her mouth tightly closed.

"I hope she stays like this without bothering me in the future, I don't want someone annoying to be my roommate," Nikol thought while sighing in disappointment.

"I have my night duties to do today, better take a sleep since I won't be able to sleep at all," Nikol entered his room expecting to have a good sleep.

Emily followed him into the room without any objections because she knew no matter what he orders her, she will have to do it.

"Will he abuse me and tell me to work? I hope not," Inside the fierce and stubborn girl, a scared cat was lying inside trying to hold her tears.
