Chapter: 1046

“Ah!”

Baekhyun’s face swelled with happiness at the good news which came out from Chun Yeowun’s words.

From looking at how Chung Yeowun acted, it seemed like they were going to send Baekhyun back, but now he was willing to help.

“Th-thank you!”

However, the happy feelings ended quite fast.

“Let us sign a contract here.”

“Huh?”

Baekhyun doubted his ears at the sudden words of a contract.

He thought that since they would need their former lord, they would help, but the new turn of events were unexpected.

“The safety of your former lord of the Sky Demon Order is at stake...”

“Don’t get me wrong.”

“What?”

“If we head to the North Sea without an official request, we will undoubtedly face backlash from the Yulin and the North Sea soldiers.”

“W-well...”

“If the life of our former Lord cannot be secured or identified, our cult will choose to not move.”

It was an undeniable fact.

If the former Lord, Chun Inji’s body wasn’t left behind by the Dragon Turtle, it would be like the Demonic Cult had interfered in the matters of another Palace without an official request.

No one could point fingers at the cult when getting rid of the Dragon Turtle, but once the matter gets solved, people are bound to question their reasons.

‘Ah! A justification!’

Baekhyun understood.

He had no idea how the current deputy king would act.

But there was one problem.

“Lord. Even though I can write down the contract, I hold no authority. The deputy king of the palace might ignore this, would you still like this?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Write it down.”

Baekhyun was puzzled at Chun Yeowun, who spoke as if he didn’t care about it.

However, realizing that Chun Yeowun could change his mind any moment, Baekhyun took the brush on the table.

He looked up at Chun Yeowun.

“What kind of contract should I write?”
