After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 114

114~ Contract~

"Nina, take out the contract."

"Okay."

Nina pulled Ainomi to her side, unbuttoned her top, and reached her hand inside...

Holy crap!? Is this something I can watch for free?

The little Princess hurriedly covered her eyes, but the gap between her fingers was already wide enough to contain an entire universe.

Oh my goodness, this is too stimulating, right? Are they really going to perform this kind of paid content in front of her?

But Nina's next action immediately gave her a feeling of being deceived.

So you unbuttoned Ainomi's clothes and reached your hand inside just to pull out this contract scroll from between the two big white rabbits?

The little Princess was somewhat disappointed, but while disappointed, she also felt a bit relieved. Fortunately, they didn't really perform paid content in front of her. Otherwise, who knows, while performing, she might have also become a person in the play.

"Your Highness, your face is very red. Are you suffering from Divine Punishment?"

Nina looked somewhat worried, reaching out her hand wanting to touch the little Princess's cheek, but the hand extended was quickly slapped away.

"Don't touch..."

The little Princess somewhat guiltily turned her face away, not daring to continue making eye contact with Nina and Ainomi.

Back to the main topic...

"Your Highness, I'm already prepared. After you finish inspecting, you can use it directly on me."

Nina handed the contract to the little Princess.

Right, before signing the contract, there was a very important step, which was inspecting the contract's authenticity. Some people would tamper with the contract before signing with others, using magic power to cover up part of the content.

Fortunately, she could manipulate a certain amount of magic power. Although not much, it was completely sufficient. Now if she wanted to erase the magic power on this, there would be no problem.

"Mm... no problem."

This contract didn't have even a single bit of a problem. She tried making the magic power on it that didn't belong to the contract dissipate. The result was there had been no concealment of the content whatsoever. Carefully reading through each clause of the contract, she also didn't discover any word traps or the like.

This contract scroll was completely without problems. Moreover, the last clause stated that if one violated the contract, they would forever become the other party's slave...

Damn! This thing actually even carries private goods!

The little Princess couldn't help but have a drop of cold sweat flow from her forehead.

This kind of contract with the risk of becoming a slave had already been explicitly prohibited in the Scarlet Phoenix Nation. On Glaze Nation's side, she'd also proposed prohibition when she started getting involved in politics. To obtain one, it was only possible from one of the nations among the Eighteen Alliance Nations.

Not all nations within the Eighteen Alliance Nations were slave system nations. There were still nearly one-third of nations that had already completed the transition from slave society to feudal society.

This contract didn't specify what clauses one would have to absolutely obey after becoming a slave, but those who understood basically understood. One core clause among them was "slaves must absolutely obey their master's commands, no matter what the requirements."

"Then Your Highness, once confirmed, we can begin anytime."

The little Princess was somewhat at a loss. After finishing reading the entire contract's clauses, her previous speculation about Nina was instantly broken through. She now completely didn't know Nina's intentions again.

Wanting money wouldn't require going this all-out, right? Gambling with this kind of thing that might make oneself never able to rise again?

"Alright..."

The little Princess pressed the contract against Nina's chest, pulling out an exquisite dagger from who knows where to cut open her own fingertip...

"Hiss~ It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... Hoo~ Hoo~ Hoo~"

If she'd known it would hurt this much, she wouldn't have shown off this time.

"Your Highness..."

Nina didn't know how to evaluate. She just felt the little Princess seemed unexpectedly adorably dumb in ordinary times?

In the rumors she'd heard, it was the little Princess who devised strategies that defeated Donglai Nation in just half a month. Then some new-style weapons in the army were also concocted by this legendary Princess Mo.

But looking now...

"You saw nothing!"

"Uh..."

"You also saw nothing!!!"

Before Ainomi could speak, she was interrupted by the little Princess.

The current Princess Mo now has a bit of a tsundere little girl's flavor.

Enduring the pain at her fingertip, while the little Princess squeezed out tears, she also dripped her fingertip's blood onto the scroll in front of Nina's chest.

No matter what, in any case the contract was finally signed. The little Princess also confirmed again that the contract had absolutely not even a bit of a problem whether in content or process. This put her at ease quite a bit.

At least she didn't need to worry about being backstabbed.

With the contract's guarantee, she could confidently hand her back to Nina. Nina couldn't possibly violate the contract's clauses to backstab her, right?

If she dared backstab her and triggered the contract's last clause, after becoming her slave, she'd definitely let Nina know what a traitor's punishment was!

"Alright, prepare a bit. After eating, we'll depart."

The little Princess patted Nina's shoulder.

"Yes."

...

...

"Your Highness, will this truly not be discovered?"

"How many times have I said it? Call me Miss!"

The little Princess forcefully knocked Ainomi's head.

"Mm... I'm sorry, Your Highness..."

Ainomi pouted, looking wronged.

"You..."

Just as the little Princess prepared to give Ainomi's head another critical hit to help her gain a better memory, Nina opened the carriage door and beckoned to the two.

"Miss, we've arrived at the Adventurers' Guild."

Adventurers' Guild. Just as described in those novels, it was a place where adventurers took on commissions. The vast majority of adventurers would gather here, except for those who'd already given up. No matter which world, there was no lack of people who gave up.

Their purpose in coming here was to hire adventurers to escort them to Glaze Nation. Most dangers they might encounter along the way would be resolved by these hired adventurers.

Of course, if some very dangerous thing appeared, such as a high-tier magic beast, they'd still have to rely on themselves to resolve it. Fortunately, the little Princess held in her hands a magic scroll that could rival a Great Archmage's full-power strike. Moreover, it could only be used with the little Princess's blood as the catalyst, guaranteeing the group's safety.

"Hello, what do you three beautiful young ladies need?"

As expected, whether in novels or reality, almost every shop, including the Adventurers' Guild's receptionist, was a beautiful young lady.

The little Princess glanced at the name on the work badge. Loyi?

"Our miss needs... Miss?"

Nina was somewhat puzzled. Why was the little Princess stopping her?

After the little Princess gave her a look to signal, she went forward, found a stool to pull to the front desk, and sat at the table propping up her chin.

"Big Sister Yiyi~ I want to hire a powerful adventurer team to escort us. I wonder if Big Sister Yiyi can help us find one?"

The little Princess squeezed out a very brilliant, cute smile and asked.

Although she'd already used magic to cover her original appearance, the point of being cute couldn't be concealed!
