"Answer my question, you pervert, who sent you?" the maid said with an angry expression, thankfully she no longer had an ax in her hands.
"Pervert? Tell it to the lady in a towel, or by the way it's slipping away" Young man retorted.
The blonde girl, Prince Sala, immediately ended up pulling the towel to her chest, now looking extremely embarra.s.sed.
"Aurelia, I will come back in second, I need a change." She disappeared for about two minutes and came back wearing garments befitting of a prince. Now with those clothes on, she looked like a broad-shouldered prince. The only thing that stayed the same was that annoyed expression on her face. Aurelia, the maid, kept staring daggers at the young man who just shrugged in confusion.
"Now, tell me, who is the villain who sent you? Are you someone's spy?"
Young man just stared at Prince Sala with dumb expression "Spy? Me? Hm, I suppose I would make a great spy, but maybe not…"
"Quit mumbling to yourself and answer his highness's question!" the maid said in a harsh tone.
"His highness? Isn't it more like her ladys.h.i.+p? I mean I got a very close look and that Prince of yours is definitely a woman." He said it without a hint of embarra.s.sment.
"You sc.u.mbag!" she pounded on the walls of the cage he was sitting in while he was pointing his tongue at her just to make her angry.
The Prince Sala just had his arm on his forehead trying to a.s.sess the situation. "Not good, if he goes free then my secret will be out. If I kill him it will spread malicious rumors. What can I do? What can I do…" then an idea struck him.
"Oi, you bugwart, what is your name?" She asked him while the maid was pinching the young man's cheeks in anger.
The young man said "Baaakiit?" he meant to ask what bugwart is supposed to mean, but he ended up saying something entirely else because the maid was clutching his face.
"Bakit? What a weird name." The Prince looked at the man with serious expression. "I will give you a choices that will decide your fate. You can either chose to be killed on spot, or left in the dungeon for eternity without seeing a single soul till your demise…"
"Wow, those choices don't seem very applicable." Young man whispered.
"Or you can serve me." Prince finished.
"Does that mean I can get out of the cage?"
"Yes, if you declare your loyalty to me with contract spell."
"I don't know how to cast that spell though" he admitted.
"I can cast it, but you need to put a drop of your blood to seal it."
"Ok, that is fine by me." He smiled without fear, Prince Sala was astounded how even under these circ.u.mstances he could keep his head straight. 'Whoever trained him did an excellent job.'
"Then…" a swirl of golden energy appeared within Prince's right palm, in it was a golden needle. He gave the needle to the young man. "Poke your hand with it."
Young man reluctantly poked his right hand with a needle. The droplet of blood extended from his thumb and traveled along his palm until it became a writing of blood.
"Read the writing on your palm" he commanded.
"I declare my loyalty to Sala Rosine Augustus Monte Rondeleia, and I hereby swear to follow all of his orders or suffer death as a penalty. I shall do the bidding of the one I call my master and I shall not disclose his secrets. Upon this I swear with my living soul."
"Then the contract is complete" Prince declared.
The writing on young man's palm not disappeared in flames, while he was looking at it with confusion filled eyes. "What just happened?"
"Now, you are my loyal dog."
The cage opened, and the young man stepped out of it.
"You will do as I command or you will die the second you decide to betray me, is that clear?" The Prince said with an angry look in his eyes.
"Ok, that is fine by me. But is it a secret that you are a cross-dressing pervert?"
The reaction was instantaneous; the Prince lost his cool composure and leapt at the young man, what ensued could only be described as a catfight, with the Prince on top of the young man beating at him furiously.
"Prince Sala, please…" the maid apparently thought it was too much to take in, but the Prince kept punching the young man who was still smiling from amus.e.m.e.nt. For some reason he was not scared at all from this supposed Master of his, he was just glad to be out of the cage. Apparently the Prince mistook his amused reaction to mean something else, because she now was slapping him. "Wow, she definitely is a girl" he thought after hearing her angry reaction.
Just like that Sala Rondeleia gained a new servant whom she called Bakit, who reluctantly accepted position as her loyal servant.
