"An Observer?"

"Yes, an Observer.

You might have heard about him,

Orpheus Bloodheart, my father, and the Head of the Bloodheart House."

Melia spoke with a small smile on her face.

"…is this an attempt to intimidate me? Because if it is, then let me tell you, it is definitely working."

Nux spoke with a wry smile on his face.

"You are not supposed to admit that, you know?"

"I just thought you were different from other nobles.

I never thought you would use your father to intimidate me and would try to make me sign a contract on unfair terms."

"The terms of our contract have already been decided, Nux. I am not trying to trick anyone here.

Trust me, I am doing this to show my sincerity."

Melia spoke with her normal, expressionless look on her face.

"He is the man who I respect the most in this world.

My father is a fair and upright man who values his pride and virtue over everything.

I will never cheat anyone in front of him, because even if I do get what I want by doing that, I would disappoint him and that, is something I cannot accept. It is my bottom line."

Melia explained, then, a small, barely visible smile appeared on her face,

"Of course, I will admit that I am a little curious to see how you would react when you meet father."

Nux just smiled wryly and didn't say anything.

Melia took that as a yes, she then summoned a servant, ordered him to form a contract, then stated the conditions in front of Nux, both parties then read the terms, and only when the two of them were satisfied, was the contract sealed.

"Take this to Lord Orpheus and him that I wish to see him."

Melia ordered.
