Chapter 80 Join? No, I refuse

"What did you say?" Faced with the sudden invitation, Felissa looked at Fred in surprise, "I don't quite understand. Is that what I thought it meant?"

She couldn't help but look at Safi, but she saw Safi nodded slightly towards her, giving her a positive sign.

...No matter how you say it, it’s too much.

"Why does Your Highness have such an idea?" Felissa asked doubtfully, "I am neither a high-ranking noble nor have any unique talents. I am also a person with no ambitions. I don't know what is worthy of your attention.

Woolen cloth?"

In fact, she also had some guesses in her heart, but she was not sure, and she vaguely hoped that her guesses were not true.

Fred smiled gently: "Miss Felicia, you are so humble. The idea you proposed this time is amazing. I believe in your ability."

"I just had a flash of inspiration this time," Felissa didn't believe it. "If it's just for my proposal this time, it's not necessary. I just want to help Safi. Even if there is no reward, I will do my best."

Try your best to find a solution.”

Faced with Felicia's keenness, Fred laughed and said frankly: "Yes, what I value more is the deacon next to Miss Felicia."

Sure enough... Felissa's heart sank. Fred was more interested in Azarez's ability to control him than in his strength.

Generally speaking, deacons and maids have to sign a death contract with their master. As long as the master triggers the contract, the servant can die. This ensures that they will not do anything to harm the master. The contract cannot be canceled unless the servant's

Death or the master's initiative to terminate the contract, so as long as you find any inappropriate behavior in Azarez, it is enough to control Felissa.

Felissa and Azarez also signed such a death contract, but Felissa did not intend to use such a contract to bind Azarez, and agreed to terminate the contract if he planned to leave.

If she agrees to Fred, it means that she and Azarez will be forcibly bound together. This feeling of losing freedom is not pleasant, and there is even the danger of becoming a tool to coerce others at every moment.

.

"Then, please allow me to ask Azarez before I give you an answer." Felissa resorted to procrastination. After all, this matter also involves Azarez, so it would be better to ask him in person.

She retreated at the speed of light, and then asked the maid to ask Azarez to wait for her in the garden.

The place where Azarez stayed was relatively close to the garden. He saw the eldest daughter of his family running over in a panic with her skirt in hand, and he immediately hurried up to meet her.

"Miss?" He patted Felissa on the back to calm her down, "Your health is not good yet, please don't run so fast."

Felicia shook her head. After her anger subsided, she grabbed the corner of Azarez's clothes and said uneasily: "His Royal Highness Fred seems to have taken a liking to you."

Azarez:?

Wait, what are you talking about? Please explain it clearly. Thank you!

Only then did Felissa realize that what she had just said was very ambiguous, and she coughed lightly: "That's right, His Highness Fred hopes that I can join the cabinet, but he actually values ​​you more, and to him I am more like

A rein that controls you."

Azarez also thought about the death contract he signed with Felissa, but no one knew that he never took the death contract to heart from the beginning.

As the Demon King, he naturally has some trump cards. It's not that he can't untie this kind of death contract, it's just a little more troublesome and requires more procedures.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't care at all about Felissa being used to threaten him.

As a superior person, Azarez can understand Fred's approach, and he would even do it if it were him, but understanding is understanding, and it is not something he can easily accept if it falls on him.

However, if there is a cabinet, a lot of information can be grasped at the first time.

For example... news about Cress.

This time, Kress has made such a big move against the royal family, and it is impossible for the royal family not to pursue the case. This was originally his purpose, to force Kress to act, so that he can find her traces.

But that presupposes that Felissa is not involved. He just wants to solve the matter alone, and then take the eldest daughter of his family back to the Demon Palace and lock her up to prevent anyone or demons from approaching her.

But he really needs some accurate information from Cress now. No one knows better than him. The longer time goes by, the harder it will be to catch the demons, because they are too familiar with hiding.

His hesitation and thinking gave Felissa the answer.

"You want to go."

She said softly but with great certainty.

If Fred's proposal didn't appeal to him in the slightest, he wouldn't be stuck thinking about it.

Well, if he doesn't mind, she can actually accept it. According to her understanding of Fred, as the game develops, he will become a monarch with clear rewards and punishments, so there is nothing to worry about, Asal.

Zi's ​​abilities are indeed excellent, and it would be a waste to serve her as a butler.

"I can terminate the contract," Felissa suggested. "In fact, you are originally a noble... Although you are only the illegitimate son of a noble, you can get a title by having a noble father and serving His Royal Highness Fred."

Terminating the contract? Don’t even think about it.

"No," Azarez rejected the proposal flatly, "I don't want to terminate the contract."

Felicia looked at him in shock: "Why?"

In fact, Felicia did not intend to sign this contract from the beginning. The reason was that the education she received in her previous life made it impossible for her to accept such an obviously unequal treaty. It was still difficult for her to decide a person's life or death at will.

It’s hard to understand. Her understanding of a master-servant is that she pays her servants money, and the servants obey orders to take care of her. Rather than being a master-servant, Felissa feels that this is more like an employment or a superior-subordinate relationship.

Azarez himself was also born into a noble family. It could be said that he was able to accept such a treaty at first because he was dependent on others, but why is he unwilling to terminate it now?

"I think it's better to cancel it," Felissa said patiently, "I don't want to join the cabinet. You want to join. This is the best way, isn't it?"

Azarez still shook his head firmly, he would not want to break the death contract.

If he joins the cabinet as a free agent, it will only attract a lot of people's attention. He is not afraid of being noticed, but if too many people stare at him, his actions will be restrained.

He also needs Felissa as a shield. As long as there is a death pact between him and Felissa, he will be a non-threatening existence in the eyes of others. After all, the position of deacon, no matter how nice it sounds, is just a servant, no one

He will take a servant seriously. No matter how well a servant does, all the credit will eventually fall on the master.

But this would put Felissa in the spotlight, so Azarez thought it was best to refuse the offer.

"I don't want to go, and I don't want to break the contract with you," he paused, and then said, "I only belong to you."
