"Contract.
I will sign the contract."
Alistair spoke up.
"Huh…?"
The Falconkin's expression changed.
"I killed Rune Feline, I will sign a contract that states that. That should be enough to assure you, right?"
Alistair spoke with a calm look on his face.
However, Rune, who was hiding in the room widened her eyes in shock.
What was Alistair trying to do!?
Sign a contract!?
But he was clearly lying!
If he signs the contract and the Falconkin gets the Ancestral Order involved, then there is no way they can save him.
Rune wanted nothing more than to appear in the room and stop Alistair, however, she knew she couldn't do that right now. That would not only ruin the plan, but it would also ruin Alistair's effort.
Coming out and stopping Alistair might save him for now, but that would reveal that Alistair was working for her, there was no guarantee that the Skythorn Falcon City won't make a move against Shadow of Silence after knowing that.
Not to mention how Felix would realize all this was a trap and would be alerted, pushing things to an even bigger mess. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Rune narrowed her eyes in self-hate.
She hated the fact that her brain didn't allow her to be reckless.
In the end, she just closed her eyes and stopped observing the situation.
Nux, who was observing everything had a strange look on his face as well.
Alistair's expression may be calm, however, that man was going against Ancestral Order, the power that even the top Divine Stage Cultivators of the world fear.
He was practically sacrificing his life.
Nux didn't expect him to be so loyal to Rune.
And with how Rune was acting and holding herself back, Nux couldn't help but be even more amazed.
He knew Rune was affected, but that amount of self-control…
It may not look like much but that is something that requires much stronger willpower than what Alistair was currently showing.
Both Rune and Alistair…
They were amazing people…
"You are going to sign the contract?" The Falconkin asked to confirm.
"If that is what it takes to convince you. Of course, you would have to state that you wouldn't come after me or my Assassin Hall later." Alistair replied.
"Alright. I will trust you."
The Falconkin agreed to the terms.
A Contract was signed.
Both parties kept a copy to themselves, the Falconkin left.
As soon as he left, Rune appeared in the room and,
"What were you thinking!?"
She questioned in anger.
All this time when she was containing her emotions, they all burst out at the same time.
Alistair was a little taken aback when he saw Rune acting like that, however, in the end, he just smiled and,
"Don't worry, Lady Rune, since you weren't the one who planned this and I was the one who did it on my own accord, the Order won't come after you."
"That is not what I am asking you idiot! I am saying why are you risking your life!? Even my father wouldn't be able to save you if the Ancestral Order comes after you, you fool!"
Rune shouted in rage.
"I am just paying you back, Lady Rune.
You saved my life before, if I can help you by sacrificing this life, then I will do it without a second thought."
"You…"
Rune's anger soared.
This feeling of someone sacrificing himself for her sake…
It was suffocating.
"And here I thought you were just some insignificant character I would never meet again but you turned out to be quite brave, huh." Nux, who decided to show himself spoke.
"Nux Leander…"
