《Legacy: Lord Alba》Chapter 14: Let's talk about the real business
Advertisement
Audrey just stared at him confused and lost not knowing what he was asking for, seeing this Alexander asked: "You do know what it is, right?"
"No," replied Audrey while shaking her head.
Alexander began to explain: "This is a special contract in which like its name implied the said participants in the contract intertwine a piece of their souls resulting in sharing the same fate if one party dies the other will follow so that they can not harm each other, also both parties can know the location of each other at all time just by thinking about it."
"Young Master, are there really such mythical things as the soul? I always thought it was something to cheat the unwary people. saying that her eyes began to glow than with eyes full of enthusiasm she asked: "Young Master since you know about all these mystical things, is there any way to make me fly? if you know, how about teaching me."
Alexander did not expect this situation, he expected something along the line like "I don't believe that show me some proof to make me believe you" and then he would have given her some benefits to convince her but as they say a good master begets a good servant, it seems that being with my mother for so many years has made her contact my mothers simple-mindedness.
sighing he said, "If your cultivating advances It's not a big deal for me to teach you how to fly!; but stop changing the subject just say if you agree to make the contract or not?"
“If I make the contract, will you teach me to fly?" Audrey asked.
which made Alexander almost puke blood, this woman does not see just how serious this contract is, it unites the lives of two people and their destinies, it is not something that is to make light off and this woman wants to do it just for me to teach her to fly.

"Audrey, you know how serious this contract is, right? Our lives will be one, if someday you betray me, I will always know where you are, if something happens to me and I die, you will die too" stressed Alexander
"you made it clear to me when you explained it, I am not an idiot," said Audrey.
"Then why did you behave like that!" Alexander emphasized
"Young master have you really not thought about it, I'm just a servant, in a few years when you I'll start a battle for the throne, there are only three scenarios for me, the First scenario is that you will win the throne, if you win the throne nothing will happen to me but the other two scenarios are most likely to happen, well that's what I thought until today, the second scenario is that I betrayed you than the Webber house will send hunters to capture me and I can only live a few more days being hunted than die a cruel death, as, for the third scenario I think young master knows what it's gonna be without me saying anything. that's why I haven't hesitated to agree to young master," Audrey said with a carefree tone but with somewhat apathetic eyes.
Alexander understood what she wanted to say, the third scenario was for her to remain loyal to my mother but when my brothers inherit the throne they would surely look for an excuse to kill her, as the new king would not allow anyone who is not loyal to him to remain in the castle and to give an example to others of what would happen if someone is no longer loyal to him by killing the maid he giving a warning. as in the eyes of a king, the life of a servant is worth nothing.
Alexander could not help but sigh at such thoughts and now he knew why she was dealing with the contract, as our lives were connected even without the contract, it's like that if I win the throne, she and I will live but if I do not win the throne than my mother, she and I will die. After a moment he said: "If you agree to sign the contract I will not only teach you to fly but I will also assure you that as my servant no one will ever dare to underestimate you on this continent."

"Well, I agree to sign it but remember your promise to teach me to fly," said Audrey, She did not take Alexander's words seriously at that moment, she did not know what it meant to her, but that day she made a decision that changed her destiny forever.
"Well, bring me a piece of paper, pen, and some ink," Alexander said somewhat tired after all he was still a baby. Audrey when she heard that order she did not idle to act after all it's what her young master asked her to do.
Alexander received the things from Audrey and placed the paper on the floor, He grabbed the pen and began to draw several strange patterns when he was done with it, the black ink began to emit a mystical glow. This was a soul contract so he had to use the power of his soul to make it!
Alexander, although he has not cultivated his body, his soul remains as strong as before he reincarnated. So it was not a problem to make the contract. After a few minutes, he completes the contract and with sweat on his head he told Audrey: "All you have to do is make a small wound in the center of the palm of your hand and place it on the paper, then you will feel that the paper suck out your soul followed by a little pain! so get ready. "
As Alexander had made the contract, he left a small trace of his soul in it, so all that's left is for Audrey to do her part, Audrey was watching the paper with mysterious shining letters, she had never seen anything so magical, she squatted and followed Alexander's instructions, grabbed a small knife that was hidden in her ankle and made a small wound in the palm of her hand, then without any hesitation she placed her hand on the paper and experienced exactly what her young master said, she felt as if the paper was going to suck out her soul followed by slight pain only for a moment, then she was done with the process and felt a little dizzy but was back to normal after getting used to it.
"What just happened to me?" asked Audrey.
"you felt dizzy as your soul is very weak but that's normal since you have not cultivated the soul" answered Alexander.
Audrey nodded, her young master was becoming increasingly mysterious. after remembering something, she asked: "haven't you said that we could grasp the other's whereabouts, so how do I use it?"
"Just close your eyes, think about where I am and you will know," Alexander said while making a gesture with his hand.
Audrey closed her eyes and did what she was told to, after a moment she could feel the direction in which her young master was, although she could not see the distance or something specific, something told her that if she went in that direction she would find her young master. she opened her eyes and saw her young master with hands crossed waiting, then she nodded to him.
"Well, now let's talk about the real business," said Alexander as its time to talk about more important things.

A Will Eternal
A Will Eternal is the fourth major xianxia novel by the renowned Er Gen. It tells the tale of Bai Xiaochun, an endearing but exasperating young man who is driven primarily by his fear of death and desire to live forever, but who deeply values friendship and family. The story takes place in the same Universe as Er Gen's other novels, but is a separate story and can be read alone. That said, it does have connections to the other novels, especially I Shall Seal the Heavens. Those connections only pertain to a handful of chapters, so you can read the novel as a whole and enjoy it without first reading ISSTH. However, the best reading experience would begin with the later portions of ISSTH. This novel is much more comedic and light-hearted than Er Gen's previous works, although it has its fair share of action and drama. For a more detailed introduction, check out this video by the translator himself!
