The Author's POV

'A name...what sort of name should the city have?'

During the time that I spent wandering around aimlessly in the winding corridors of the castle and deeply ruminating over the topics that I had just recently been discussing with Jin, I found myself stopping in front of a wooden door.

"That was fast."

I had arrived at my next destination before I knew it.

Reaching out for the doorknob, I yanked the door open.

"You're here."

I was greeted by the sight of Angelica sitting at the far end of the room with a couple more people.

Silug, and Suriol.

"Yeah."

I closed the door behind me and walked into the room. Finding a sofa to sit on, I sat down and shifted my attention back to Angelica.

"What did you call me for?"

"I'm going to cancel the contract with Silug."

Angelica went straight to the point and told me her intentions.

My brows jumped up at her words.

"You what?"

"I'm going to cancel the contract with Silug."

Angelica repeated in a serious tone.

My brows furrowed when I took note of her tone as I leaned forward a bit.

"Can you tell me why you want to break the contract with Silug?"

"Because there's no longer a need for the two of us to be contracted anymore."

"Ah."

Indeed, now that I thought about it, Angelica and Silug no longer needed to be contracted together.

With Immorra conquered and with me no longer fearing Silug's betrayal, there was no need to keep him contracted with Angelica.

'Plus, I think the reason she doesn't want to be chained by him anymore is because she's now stronger than he is.'

He was essentially of no use to her anymore.

Plus, if he died or anything happened to him, Angelica would be the one to bear the brunt of his death.

It became clear to me that she no longer wanted to bear such a liability.

"Sure, I don't see why you shouldn't break the contract."

I gave her the go ahead.

That being said, she didn't really need to ask me for the contract break. Our relationship was different from that of the past. I trusted that she wouldn't betray me, so I didn't think there was a need for her to ask for my permission.

Still, the fact that she asked for my permission showed that she respected my opinion.

"What are you doing here?"

My attention then shifted toward Suriol who was standing a bit further away from Angelica and watching everything quietly.

Turning his head to look at me, he replied.
