In the administrator’s area of the Black Tower.

-Ahem… Aileen, please let go of Ajax’s collar for now.

Kellion coughed awkwardly as he spoke, looking at Ajax who had been knocked unconscious after being struck by Aileen.

His own grandson was 300 years older than Aileen. Furthermore, it was widely known that Aileen suffered from a disease where her Dragon Heart was hardening, thus diminishing most of her magic power.

However? Seeing his grandson being dragged around by the collar, unconscious, by such an Aileen made him uneasy.

-Yes, Aileen. Let go of his collar and explain why Ajax is here.

Kaiser chimed in, agreeing with Kellion’s statement. While he wanted to first inquire about the Dragonheart, he gave way for Kellion’s sake.

The sheer magnitude of magic emanating from Aileen made it evident that her illness had been cured.

“Yes, actually…”

Aileen began explaining, releasing Ajax’s collar, how she came to hold him in such a manner.

“I was talking with Sejun when suddenly an alarm signaled Ajax’s unauthorized entry. So…”

-That bastard…!

-Drat…

The more Aileen spoke, the angrier Kaiser got, glaring at Ajax, and Kellion swallowed hard. The secret passage Ajax tried to use was the one Kellion had found and informed Ajax about. Kellion was speechless.

Furthermore, because Kellion hadn’t told Ajax about the contract with Sejun and exclusive cultivation rights, Ajax unknowingly planted the seed and ended up serving under Sejun for 100 years.

Of course, even if informed, there was a high chance Ajax would’ve breached the contract. But Kellion felt highly responsible for the mess.

‘Ajax mustn’t find out about this, right?’

Kellion decided to handle it so that Ajax would never discover his mistake.

Then,

Thump!

“Ugh!”

To ensure Ajax wouldn’t get up, Kellion kicked the back of his head, knocking him out cold. Any unnecessary outburst from Ajax could jeopardize his plans.

‘So, this is what that means.’

[Second Commandment – A tower farmer can command other tower farmers from different towers.]

Kellion finally understood the true meaning of the second commandment, and also how to recruit a Tower Farmer.

‘This could come in handy later.’

Kellion felt satisfied with the information he’d gleaned.

Then,

-Ahem… Given this is clearly Ajax’s fault, how about forgiving him with a contract stating he cannot disobey Sejun’s orders for 100 years?

He intended to resolve this with a new contract, essentially covering up the old facts with new ones, thereby burying his own fault.

-Hmm. A contract seems fine. What do you think, Aileen?

Kaiser asked Aileen for her opinion.

However,

“Please make it 200 years instead of 100. The original was for 100 years, after all.”

Aileen wasn’t content with just 100 years.

From Sejun’s perspective, he would’ve happily signed a contract that allowed controlling Ajax without any threat to his own life, but for Aileen, Ajax was already akin to a 100-year slave. The contract offering restricting him from disobeying orders for just 100 years was not appealing to her.

-Ugh… Fine.

Kellion drafted the contract and,

Stamp.

Affixed Ajax’s stamp to it.

Then,

“Please hand it over. I’ll send it to Sejun.”

As Aileen began to send the contract to Sejun,

“Just stamp it here, right, meow?”

Theo, an expert in obtaining stamps without a hitch from unconscious beings, pressed Sejun’s thumb on the contract. Thus, unbeknownst to the contracting parties, the contract was concluded while Sejun and Ajax were unconscious.

With Ajax’s matter settled,
