He simply looked down at Tessia with an expressionless face.

I dont think I can defeat them on my own. But if you help me, it would change everything. Ive seen what you can do. Youre strong, and you never give up on a request no matter what. So please, Ian. Accept my request.

Tessia pleaded.

Finally, Ian spoke.

I understand your situation, Tessia.

Tessa. Please.

Right. Tessa. Perhaps as you say, I could fight the judges that are following you. I might even be able to help you get revenge against the vampires of Rusard.

You would definitely be able to-

But a request isnt established just by asking like this. Of course, I wont move for some petty sense of pity either.

?!

Tessias eyes widened.

Tapping the hand holding the sword hilt, Ian added,

A proper request requires appropriate compensation. According to you, Ill be fighting the entire vampire clan. How will you provide compensation worthy of that?

Anything, anything. Ill give you anything. Vampires have a lot of money. If you help me get revenge, its all yours. I have no interest in that stuff.

An uncertain compensation. Besides, thats just spoils I would rightly claim without even helping you. The fee for a request has to be something you possess, Tessa.

Cutting off his words, Ian lowered his head.

Ill ask one last time, Tessa. If I accept your request, what can you give me?

Tessias eyes wavered, then slowly settled, seeming to realize the only thing she had to lose was the only thing she could offer.

Ill give myself, Ian.

Finally she spoke.

Ians eyes narrowed slightly.

My life is the only thing I can offer you.

Your life holds no value to me.

Then use me however you want. Ill do whatever you say. Ill even help with whatever youre doing now. Just help me get my revenge once your tasks are done. You wont stay in this northern region forever, right? Until then, keep me by your side and use me.

Youll become my slave?

Call me whatever you want. I have no other choice, Ian. Otherwise Ill just end up dragged back to Rusard eventually.

.

I dont want to be treated like a mindless beast and die not even knowing who I am. Rather than that, Ill live as your servant and slave while dreaming of revenge.

Not completely stupid, at least.

But that didnt mean he fully believed her words either.

The calculation still doesnt quite add up, he said, looking down into her red eyes.

Any spoils from the judges will all be mine.

Understood.

And you wont obtain a single drop of blood essence from them.

?!

Tessias eyes widened for a moment.

Craving blood essences was an innate vampiric desire. Resisting it wouldnt be easy.

But Ians words left no choice.

Understood.

Finally Tessia answered.

Nodding, Ian reached out and swiftly pulled the dagger still embedded in her bony shoulder.

The contract is established.

He looked at Charlotte.

Though raising a skeptical brow, Charlotte released the hold she had on Tessia.

Rubbing her wrist as she stood, Tessia smiled.

Thank you, Ian. I mean it.

Remember. If you break the contract and try to run, not just the judges but I will come after you too.

Of course. Speaking of which.

Tessias gaze turned to Charlotte, frowning with her arms crossed.

This mutt seems useless now. Can I kill it?

Kill it if you want to die. Otherwise sit quietly.

Understood.

Though shooting Charlotte a nasty look, Tessia obediently walked over to sit by the campfire.

Glaring daggers at her back, Charlotte turned to Ian.

You really intend to trust that filthy vampires promise, Ian?

We didnt make a promise. We made a contract. Learn the difference now that youre a mercenary too.

Shell definitely betray us.

Ian shrugged.

Then you can kill her yourself. Since you brought her.

?! Really?

Charlottes eyes lit up.

Ian nodded.

Yes. I dont trust her either. So you keep watch. Make sure she doesnt try anything underhanded.

Looking momentarily startled, then considering it with odd anticipation, Charlotte nodded.

If she steps out of line, I can just stab her then?

If the situation calls for it.

She shouldnt die from that much at least.

A faint smile crossed Charlottes face. Nodding, she abruptly turned and went to sit by the fire.

Ill be watching you, filthy snake. Do try and step out of line.

Dont talk to me, your breath stinks.

Though Charlotte growled, Tessia didnt even look her way.

Watching the scene, a wry smile finally crossed Ians face.

It was only recently he had traveled with a holy knight of Tyr En and the child blessed by Lou Enter grace.

Now his companions were an assassin and a vampire fairy.

Truly, the future is unpredictable.

Muttering inwardly, Ian approached the fire and picked up his robe lying on a blanket, holding it out to Tessia.

?

Tessia cocked her head, looking at him in seeming bewilderment.

Really that clueless?

Clicking his tongue, Ian spoke.

Wear this at all times from now on. I dont want to keep seeing you walking around naked.
