Emily is right; she is powerful.
As long as Rey uses the contract to order her to commit suicide, she will be able to detect it in advance and kill Tilu faster.
What she was betting on was that Rey regarded her as valuable and would not kill her.
The test is whether Rey will give up Tilu in order to keep the contract with her.
The condition is based on the premise that she will not die. No matter what Rey chooses, she will benefit.
If you had to choose between these two options...
"Master, leave me alone."
"The decision is in his hands."
Emily used magic to seal Tilu's voice, making her unable to speak.
Seeing that Tilu was a little restless, she further sealed her magic power.
Although Rey didn't expect her to do this, he was very calm.
"Tilu, as she said, don't move."
He looked at Emily. "I thought you were not so hostile to me and taught me skills, but it seems that's not the case."
Emily raised a sarcastic smile, "You are a slave trader, and I am a slave. There is no hostility between the two. Do you think it is possible?"
Rey said calmly, "It's true that there is opposition in status, but I have not treated you badly in any way. Food, clothing, housing – I have given you and me equal conditions. From yesterday to today, I have not treated you in any way." Is there anything bad about you?"
Emily recalled that she really didn't find anything wrong with what Rey did.
The teasing last night actually didn't do anything to her.
"That's just your disguise."
What, making it look like she is the bad guy when the other party is obviously a slave trader who despises human life?
Rey then realised that she had been hostile to him from beginning to end.
He went on.
"No, that's just your prejudice against me. Since you can't tell me the problem, can you think that it's all your imagination?"
Emily wanted to refute it but found that this seemed to be the case and she had no evidence.
She didn't want to argue anymore, and the magic power in her body surged, telling Rey that she was serious.
"If you want me to believe it, then prove it to me. If you really value her, then terminate the contract."
Emily's magical pressure made it difficult to breathe, but Rey remained calm. "It seems that you won't listen to anything I say. It's not too late. I'll give you a chance. Stop immediately. Nothing happened."
Emily laughed out loud in anger and said to Tilu, "See, he didn't even intend to save you."
Tilu kept quiet after Rey told her not to move. She didn't react at all when Emily provoked her.
Emily became a little excited. "Do you think I dare not take action?"
"Don't... do that."
The speakers were Moni and Pisina, who were attracted by the silence. "Master saved us and treated us very well. It's wrong for you to do that."
Although Rey didn't expect them to speak for him, he felt that their words might make Emily calm down.
Quite the opposite.
Emily looked at those two people in disbelief. Their character was relatively cowardly. She knew it clearly from yesterday.
But they were like this, and they actually helped Rey speak.
She couldn't understand that there were four slaves present, but except for herself, everyone else was on Rey's side.
She is the companion!
Emily had reason to be hostile to slave traders.
…..
months ago.
Those slave merchants sold the princesses who had blended into the common people after the defeat of the demons.
Then he deceived Emily and asked her to voluntarily become a slave in exchange for them sending troops to rescue the princess.
It turned out to be just a scam.
Finally, he was attracted by the prince and asked him to send troops on the condition of serving, but he didn't know that it was obviously a lie.
She has no hope but can only believe and can only risk her life, so she is not afraid of gambling with her own life as a bet.
…..
Now there is a new possibility, and she has regained her strength.
This is her only chance to break free and regain her freedom.
If no one comes to save her, she will go to the devil world by herself.
For this reason, she gave up her former chivalry.
Like a villain, use the life of a slave to force a slave trader to make a choice.
She faced herself again. Yes, she was a bad person, and she was no longer the knight of the Princess of the Kingdom of Light.
Emily's red eyes were red, and she said in a voice that seemed like she was about to cry, "I will say it for the last time: terminate the contract, or I will die with her."
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
Rey sighed, "Why are you crying? Tell me your reasons seriously. Maybe I will be kind and let you go."
"Don't change the subject." Emily said hoarsely.
"I just want to make an …..."
Rey ignored her and continued.
Then...
"Hands down."
Just as Emily was about to say something, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked at her hand and actually put it down.
After letting go of her hand, Tilu immediately ran towards Rey.
Emily wanted to stop her, but Rey continued, "Don't move."
As soon as the words fell, Emily couldn't move for an instant.
She panicked, "What did you do to me?"
Impossible; she was always vigilant, Rey did not use the contract at all, and the contract did not have this power.
But what was this coercive force? He could control her body with just words.
Hypnosis? That's not right either. The combat power of both sides is not at the same level at all.
Emily suddenly discovered that she didn't know anything about Rey and underestimated him too much.
When she raised her head and saw Rey's indifferent expression, she realised that perhaps she had always been under his control.
Rey is certainly not worried.
The most basic use of enslavement belongs to his slaves. He can directly control the body forcibly. There is no limit on the number of people. This is the power of the highest-level skills.
It only takes one thought to complete the control. As for why he said it, it was to intimidate and also to disguise.
As early as after Emily took action, the moment Rey reacted, she had no chance.
At that time, Rey had already placed restrictions on her not to hurt anyone.
He first pulled Tilu over and said, "You're not hurt, are you?"
Tilu shook her head with a calm expression.
It was obvious that her life had been threatened not long ago, but she didn't even show any panic.
Ever since she decided to serve Rey, Tilu has never wavered.
"Master, please don't let me affect your next judgement."
In her opinion, Emily was a commodity bought by Rey, and she did not want to harm the owner's interests because of her own affairs.
"I see."
Rey turned to look at Emily. "Whether you believe it or not, for personal reasons, I really don't treat any of you as slaves."
Emily still held on, "If you win, then of course everything you say is right."
"That's right," Rey approached her, "the rules are made by the winner, so you must abide by the rules I customise for you."
He looked at Emily with interest, then smiled like a devil.
"Well, let's talk about punishment."
"Guaranteed to be fun content that will make Miss Emily's heart beat faster."
