"What?" she frowned. "What contract is that?"
Well, you see, I was actually…Trying to enslave her.
Yeah.
Enslave.
But now that I think about it, that might not really work.
If I hand her a soul-binding contract, she'll read it.
And once she does, she'll definitely sense something shady.
Hell, even the concept of soul-binding is shady.
"It's just to make sure you stay obedient during our journey," I said calmly. "I can't have you disobeying orders in a serious situation."
She frowned harder. "So… like a slave contract?"
…Okay.
Fuck me for thinking she was dumb.
"No. Not a slave contract," I said, already regretting everything. "It's more like… a law. Or a guide. You know, something to keep you in check."
She tilted her head and squinted at me. "Sooo… a slave contract?"
…Fuck me to death.
