Chapter 134 - The Ice Princess's Life Was Forever Misled Upon Meeting Dekan

The current emotions of the Ice Princess were excessively complex. Several conflicting emotions violently were mixed together, causing her to be completely unsure of her own feelings. Although she instinctively maintained the suppression of the Destruction Demon LOrd, her brain was in a completely crashed state.

Dekan temporarily left Isabel in place, allowing her to face the reality. There was plenty of time later for ideological education and behavior correction for this bad woman later. Dekan wanted to settle things with the Ice Princess first. After all, the morning had been quite infuriating for him and he had to work overtime because of the Ice Princess.

Dekan walked to the opposite side of the Ice Princess and waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Miss Artemis, are you thinking about me?"

The Ice Princess's gaze gradually focused on Dekan, becoming somewhat plaintive. "Why did you deceive me like this?" Her voice choked.

"Heh." Dekan sneered, turned to the right and said to the empty air, "Lady Ice Princess, I have..." His words abruptly stopped. Then, Dekan immediately stepped to the right, looked to the left with a stern face, and coldly said, "Get out." He deliberately imitated the Ice Princess's tone. Then he stood back on the left and said with a somewhat worried expression, "The Resurgence Church is trying to capture you." "Get out!"

Dekan played both roles in front of the Ice Princess, reenacting the events that occurred this morning at the Tristan Magic Academy.

"Wuwu..." The Ice Princess's eyes began to turn red again. She had realized it.

Earlier, Dekan pretended to be enslaved to deceive her tears, and now this heartless mockery—all of it was to retaliate for her foolish actions this morning. Despite Dekan's very, very bad behavior, she couldn't bring herself to hate him. She had never seen such a bad good person before.

She was momentarily unable to sort out her emotions. Regardless, after seeing Dekan unharmed, the strongest feeling in her heart was relief.

"So, let's get straight to it. Whether it's compensation or repayment, how do you intend to take responsibility for your actions?" Dekan wasn't interested in teasing her further and went straight to the point.

"I owe you a huge favor. To repay this favor, you can ask me to do anything," the Ice Princess said with a firm and calm gaze, despite sniffing.

"Anything? You wont regret it?"

"I've always valued promises." The Ice Princess's response surprised Dekan. Coming from a tier 8 special class card maker, this level of commitment held extraordinary significance and was capable of driving countless powerful figures mad. Its value couldn't be measured in numbers.

"Before that, I want to ask you a question. Why were you so unkind to me back then?" Dekan didn't like tricking good people or honest individuals. Based on the Ice Princess's answer, he would decide how to make her fulfill her promise.

"I... I'm shy," the Ice Princess hesitantly confessed. Originally, she would never have uttered such embarrassing facts. However, perhaps due to experiencing a life-and-death battle with Dekan and Croix, she had become somewhat acquainted with them, and now, there was less resistance in dealing with the two.

"Uh." Dekan was somewhat stunned. Then, he held his head, tilting it backward in disappointment. His expression seemed to convey: Why is it like this? After collecting his thoughts for a moment, he looked at Croix.

"Croix, do you have the contract we discussed earlier?" Croix nodded, taking out a document and a pen from the inner pocket of his jacket before handing them to Dekan. Dekan flipped through the document and presented a page to the Ice Princess. Then, he handed her the pen.

"Sign it and we're even."

"Okay." The Ice Princess reluctantly moved her right hand away from the chain staff, grabbed the pen, and without any hesitation, signed her name on the document.

"Don't you want to read what the contract is before signing?" Dekan seemed somewhat surprised by the Ice Princess's decisiveness.

She shook her head and said, "You saved my life. Whether you want me to make cards for you or not, I willingly accept."

Dekan interrupted, "No, you haven't..."

"I always keep my word. Even if you treat me as a tool, since I've signed, I have no complaints or regrets." She didn't need to look; it was undoubtedly a card making agreement. Since she wanted to repay the favor, she had no objections to the time limit or the amount of effort.

Dekan: "..."

"Alright then." Dekan nodded, "Also, we are a legal and conscientious enterprise. We haven't even set the penalty too high; it should be easily affordable for someone of your financial standing. After all, for someone of your stature, whether you want to abide by the contract is your choice. We cannot bind you with a piece of paper."

"Please rest assured; I will not break my promise until the deadline." Hearing the Ice Princess's response, Dekan nodded in satisfaction and showed her a bright smile, saying, "Miss Artemis, I'm very pleased that you've joined our idol agency. I'm your manager now, congratulations on your official debut."

"?????" The Ice Princess was confused.

"What's an idol? What's going on with this contract?" The Ice Princess realized that something was amiss.

"You'll sing, dance, and carry out the company's plans, bringing smiles to thousands of fans," Dekan answered with a smile.

"No! That's impossible, I can't do it!" The Ice Princess screamed in shock. Although she had heard absurd things from Dekan, the idea of a tier 8 special class card maker singing and dancing was beyond her comprehension. Moreover, if she, a social anxiety sufferer, had to perform in front of countless people, she would faint on the spot.

"So, do you want to break the contract?" Dekan's expression turned to disappointment. He shifted his gaze away from the Ice Princess and sighed deeply.

"No... I won't violate my promise... but please, can you let me do something other than singing and dancing? I can make cards for you, give you gold coins, or even cook for you," the Ice Princess pleaded with a teary voice.

"I wanted you to contribute to love, peace, and art, but you just want to solve everything with money. It's a bit disheartening," Dekan said, still looking disappointed with the Ice Princess. It seemed like his disappointment had risen to a higher level.

As the Ice Princess looked at Dekan's disdainful expression and recalled her solemn promise earlier, her brain felt dizzy, and her vision gradually blurred again.

"Uwawa..."
